Message of Love and Brotherhood to Africa — Page 53
53 not sleep the whole of the night, wondering that we lack material resources and these nations are great powers and have made long strides in material advancement; that we lacked wealth and means; how then are we going to convert them to Islam; that the Promised Messiah’s as mission was to bring world nations to the fold of Islam as servants of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa ; and that since this race also was one of the world nations how will they join Islam; in short, how was this going to happen. This was the shape of thoughts around which my prayers revolved; that was the state of my mind the whole night. I had a broken sleep, now briefly dozing and then awake for a few minutes. I passed the whole night in great anguish. The day rises there early. I guess it was between 3 am and 3. 30 am. When I lay down after morning prayers and suddenly my wyes became heavy-lidded and then this verse of the Holy Quran was on my lips. (The Holy Quran 65:4)
