I also have been sent to the world to effect reformation and to remove the errors that had crept into Islam in the dark ages (Faij-i-A'waj). The greatest error is that the grandeur and greatness of God have been totally forgotten and the true, important, and exalted teaching of the oneness of God preach- ed by the Holy Prophet, sallallaho alaihi wa sallam, has been made a target of doubts and suspicions.
