72 The Promised Messiah as says: “Truth takes courage and bravery. A liar is a coward. He whose life is involved in impurity and sinfulness will always remain fearful and cannot face anyone. He cannot express his truthfulness or furnish the proof of his chastity like an honest person can with courage and fearlessness. Deliberate over worldly affairs and see if there is anyone who has been blessed by God with some prominence and has no green-eyed people around him. Every prominent person eventually does have enviers. The same is true of religious matters. Satan is also the opponent of reformation. Hence, a person should put his matters in order and keep his affairs with God sorted out. He should please God and then neither be afraid of anyone, nor care for anyone besides Him. He should abstain from matters that could inflict punishment upon him, but all this is not possible without Divine help and endowment of Divine strength. Mere human efforts cannot yield results until it has the Grace of Allah, “Man has been created weak” (4:29). Man is weak, full of faults and surrounded by difficulties. Hence, we should pray that Allah grant us the ability to do good deeds and make us the recipients of Divine support and abundant blessings (Malfuzat, Vol. 10. p. 252, Edition 1985, published England) Thus, we have to convince the world with prayers and for that we need to develop a strong relationship with God. We have to remember that other religions are not everlasting. They came at a certain time, fulfilled the moral training needed in their time and were over and done with. That is why there have been lots of deductions and modifications in their religious books. Islam is the only religion that is still secure and it is here to stay forever. The teachings of the Holy Qurān will hold good till Doomsday. Therefore, we should try to act upon our teachings without any inferiority complex, stay firm on them and also make known to others that their discourses are against the will of God and can lead them to their downfall.
