Later, the companions of the Promised Messiah (as) also followed in the footsteps of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and these people also became the beloved of Allah the Exalted. Today, Allah the Exalted has provided efficient means to spread these books and respond to the opponents of Islam. It used to take time to spread books, but now, a message can be delivered instantaneously. As soon as a book is published, it can be printed at the other end. These days, the books of the Promised Messiah (as), the Holy Quran, and other Islamic literature is traversing new stages of broadcast through Internet and television. The speed of media today could not have been imagined a few decades ago. Thus, avail these opportunities given to us by Allah the Exalted, for preaching and defense of Islam. It is a favor of Allah the Exalted that he has provided these latest inventions in this time. By making these available the work of preaching has been made easier. We should try to appropriately use these, instead of wasting time in frivolities and wrong activities. We should make use of these and if we become part of the group that is spreading the message of the Messiah of Muhammad (saw) to the world, then we can be considered part of this group. We can be those people by whom Allah bore witness. I had said the same at the MTA event that today each worker of MTA, no matter where in the world he or she is working, is working to take the message of the Promised Messiah (as) to the ends of the earth. God will make this happen, He revealed to the Promised Messiah (as), ‘I shall carry thy message to the ends of the earth’ and for this purpose He provided these resources to spread [His] message to the ends of the earth. God has destined it to be so, and all the inventions bear witness to it. • Friday Sermon delivered 15 October 2010 Baitul Futuh Mosque, London • Published AlFazl International 05 November 2010
