Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 358 their greatest misfortune is that they are making Him angry. I feel very sad when I see that God gave Muslims the true reli- gion of Islam, but they failed to appreciate it. God knows what result this indifference will produce. They have no care or jeal- ous regard for the Faith. If they quarrel and fight each other, it is for boasting, ostentation, and self-admiration, not the glory and grandeur of Allah the Exalted. However, the person who puts Allah the Exalted first in all matters and is so immersed in the dignity and honour of His religion that manifesting the grandeur and glory of Allah the Exalted is his objective in all that he does, is the one who is called s idd i q [the truthful] in the register of Allah the Exalted. No one else can present Islam the way I do, but the difficul- ties are that a large part of my Jam a ‘at is comprised of the poor. Nevertheless, thanks are due to Allah the Exalted that even though this is a Jam a ‘at of the poor, I see that they have sincerity and compassion, and comprehending the needs of Islam, they do not hesitate to spend as much as they can for it. It is only when the grace of Allah is present that anything gets done, and I am hopeful of His grace. Almighty Allah will Protect Islam from All Attacks Just as when a storm approaches, a person becomes worried that this storm will cause destruction. In the same way, Islam is beset with storms, and its adversaries are engaged in efforts to destroy it. However, I am sure Allah the Exalted will safeguard Islam against all these attacks, and He will bring its ship safely to shore even in this storm.
