6 January 1908 129 6 January 1908 Need for a Reformer in the Prevailing Circumstances A friend narrated his dream which also included the following verse: 1 َو ْنَم ِقَّتَّي َهّٰللا ْلَعْجَي ٗهَّل اًجَرْخَم َو ْنَم ِقَّتَّي َهّٰللا ْلَعْجَي ٗهَّل اًجَرْخَم The Promised Messiah as observed: It seems to point to a worldwide calamity from which the only escape is through taqwa [righteousness]. Consider that the famine, which is continuing to intensify, is also the result of their own actions. Those who wish to be saved from it should repent before God, but no signs of repentance are visible. These people reject over and over again. They witness Sign after Sign and still do not believe. There is no rhyme or reason why they are bent upon denial and rejection. Neither the Holy Quran nor the Hadith are with them. The prevailing circumstances are loudly proclaiming the need for a Reformer. They are being proven wrong both by logical and docu- mented evidence yet they do not desist. They present jihad over and over again. They do not understand that when no govern- ment fights for the sake of religion, why would the Appointee of God fight with the sword? This is the age for jihad with argu- ments and this jihad is waging forth. 1. And he who fears Allah—He will make for him a way out ( S u rah a t-T al a q, 65:3). [Publisher]
