My message to those who are sitting on the edge—those who do not oppose the A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at, but are not willing to join it—in the words of the Holy Qur’ ā n, is Say, “Everyone acts according to his own way, and your Lord knows full well who is best guided. ” (17[Ban ī Isr ā ’ ī l]:85) May All ā h enable all of them to open their eyes and see the true beauty of Isl ā m. May All ā h bless the whole world with the greatest blessings of A ḥ madiyyat, the true Isl ā m. Ā m ī n. Edited from Al-Na ḥ l, Spring 1994.
