The Essence of Islam – Volume IV — Page 273
Propagation, Establishment of a Holy Jama'at, and Instructions 273 are honoured with Divine revelations, as was the case with the Companions. Many of them spend their hard-earned money in promoting the activities of the. Jama'at, purely for the sake of winning the pleasure of God Almighty, as did the Companions. Many among them keep death in mind and are gentle of heart and tread the path of true righteousness, as was the practice of the Companions. They are the party of God who are supported by God Himself and whose hearts He is purifying daily and whose bosoms He is filling with the wisdom of faith and whom He is drawing towards Himself through heavenly signs, as. He did with the Companions. In short, this Jamā‘at exhibits all those signs which are implied in the verse: 146 أَخَرِيْنَ مِنْهُمْ. The Word of God Almighty was bound to be fulfilled. [Ayyām-us-Ṣulḥ, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 14, pp. 306-307]. God, Who is hidden from the eyes but is shining brighter than anything else, and of Whose majesty even the angels are afraid of, does not like insolence and cunning. He has mercy upon those who fear Him, so be fearful of Him and say everything after deliberation. You are His Jamā'at whom He has chosen to set an example of goodness. He who does not discard vice, whose lips do not shun falsehood and whose heart does not exclude impure thoughts, will be cut off from this Jamā'at. O Servants of God! cleanse 146 Others from among them. -Al-Jumu'ah, 62:4 [Publisher]
