! ! 252 At this time , I would like to draw the ladies’ attention towards a matter, the news of which Haz rat Adam as gave and all other Prophets continued to give. They have related that in the latter days there w ill be great distress. If a person is a Muslim in the morning, he will be a disbeliever by evening; if he g o es to bed a Muslim , he will wake up a disbeliever. Hence today , Islam is in an extremely dreadful and fragile state. Each and every religion is focused on crushing Islam. Yet , I see that people care for their pet dog or cat , but today they do not even care that much for Islam.

Whether it be Iran, Turkey, or Afghanistan, the entire world has stigmatized Islam , as if it were an injection from a medical clinic. Where at one time, t he name of Islam c ommand ed respect, no w joining Islam is considered a disgrace. T his is due solely to the Muslims deserting Islam. In cities the vagrants a re Muslims, beggars are Muslims, prisoners are mostly Muslim women and men, prostitutes are mostly Muslim, thugs and scoundrels in the cities are often Muslim. F rom among workers, the incompetent and dishonest are Muslim. Therefore, God Almighty has heaped such disgrace upon Muslims, that they are hum iliated in every situation. This is solely due to the fact that Muslims have started asking , ‘I f Islam is true , then why are we so
