165 W ORLD P EACE —T HE C RITICAL N EED OF THE T IME regardful of them both than you are. Therefore do not follow your low desires that you may be able to act eq- uitably. And if you hide the truth or evade it , then know that Allah is Well-Aware of what you do. (ch. 4: v. 136) And so it is such principled standards of justice that establish peace in the world, from the most basic element of society all the way through to the international arena. History testifies to the fact that the Founder of Islam, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , acted upon this teaching and spread it to all corners. And now in this era, the true devotee of the Holy Prophet sa , who was the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jam a ‘at (Community), Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as of Qadian, spread and championed this teach- ing and instructed his followers to also spread peace. He further instructed his followers to draw the attention of mankind towards fulfilling both the rights of God and the rights of God’s creation. It is for this reason that the Ahmadiyya Community emphasises to all people the critical need of fulfilling the rights of Allah and of His creation and of establishing the very best standards of jus- tice. It is my prayer that every single one of us, irrespective of reli- gion or belief, pays heed towards fulfilling each other’s due rights, so that the world can become a haven of peace and harmony. With these few words I conclude and I thank you once again for inviting me and coming here to listen to me.
