The Turkish Peace — Page 59
59 to is why so many calamities are inflicting Islam. After all, why would God Almighty [appear] to have broken off His friendship with Islam and begun to deal with it as an enemy. Why does God, Who previously shown signs of wrath in support of Islam, no longer manifest the wonders of His glorious power for its sake? Clearly, Muslims have become prey to calamities because they have cast aside the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. They have, through their own volition, conferred greater rank on Jesus as than the Holy Prophet sa. Hence God Almighty has allowed Christians to prevail over them. Therefore, I advise you to stop wasting your time on trivial matters and make your peace with God Almighty and seek His blessings. Also, you may remember in the September conference, I wrote to you that as of now the only way to ensure the success of Islam is to come together to spread its message. As I have mentioned before, the Europeans do not look upon the Turks with antipathy because of a lack of systematic development. Rather, they see Islam as hostile to civilisation, and consider it an enemy of everything they hold dear in the world and, therefore, seek to wipe it out. So as long as the hearts of the Europeans and indeed the entire Christian world are not purged of this idea, the problems faced by Muslims will not cease.
