called 'revolution' and I am not talking about revolu- tions. I am talking about the principles of training chil- dren. As far as training goes, if you will present good, disci- plined and cultured Waaqifeen to the Jama'at then, in- shaAllah, these talented beings will bring about great revolutions and they will be of great benefit to the Ja- ma'at. But if they have even minor perversities, they will be a potential danger because minor perversities can become magnified. Just as some walls have cracks but they are superficial. The engineers do not consider them to be dangerous. But some cracks are very deep and with the passage of time they begin to enlarge and cause the roofs to cave in. Basic moral weaknesses are like these deep cracks. Once you let them develop then they will cause the 'roof' of future generations to collapse. Therefore, out of fear of God and beseeching His forgiveness, understand and keep this in your mind. Bring about a pious change in your conduct so that this pious change may serve as a fertil- izer in the reformation and spiritual development of the future generations; so that it may serve as a foundation on which magnificent buildings will be erected. May Allah enable us to do so. Ameen. 77
