Peace be upon you and all!....
=1=The word Taqwa has been compared to "libaas" in the Holy Quran,
which means raiment, so that a person is always reminded that he must
be forever engrossed in the remembrance of God....
=2= He should always remember that God is present everywhere before
committing any action.... He should strive to adopt a state of humility
and fear of God and abandon all absurdities; that is the state that
needs to be achieved in order to sow the seed of faith...
=3= When the soil of the heart becomes fertile and free of sin and the
seed is sown, even then extreme care is required as this is yet a
fragile state..... Do not be content at the fact that you have attained
a state of humility but continue to strive to protect this condition,
as there may be other trials that lie ahead....
=4= In order to protect this fertile soil, one should make financial
sacrifices.... When this is done.....
=5= The seed grows into a small plant with delicate branches, and
these branches provide some strength to the growing tree.....
=6= To further strengthen this tree, one should continue to strive
against personal desires and satanic temptations....
=7= To continue on this path of strengthening the tree of faith, one
should try his utmost to fulfill the promises made with God.....
=8= In short, one needs to maintain the belief in Tauheed (Oneness of
God) and follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) and have
firm faith that the Promised Messiah (a.s) is the prophesied reformer
of the age and remain affiliated with the establishment of Khilafat.....
=9= Once this tree becomes firmly rooted, then every deed will be
committed to gain the pleasure of Allah, Who in turn shall protect
such a person from satanic temptations and cause him to progress in
spirituality..... The friendship with Allah is a two-way street, where
the beneficiary is the Believer who treads towards his Creator.
=10=In the Holy Quran (2:258), God promises that when the believers
take God as their friend, then their every effort in strengthening of
faith will cause their spiritual and physical needs to be fulfilled....
We see around us that those who indulge in their worldly desires never
find any contentment and satisfaction because these desires are never-
ending....But those who strive to progress in faith gain spiritual
contentment and the world comes to them as well.
=11=Even the efforts that we make in gaining nearness to God are a
favor bestowed by God Himself.... The Promised Messiah explains that one
must fulfill the obligation of his every effort in a befitting
manner.... If water can be obtained at 20 feet, he must not tire of his
efforts at 2 feet and abandon his struggle.... The main point is never
to give up....
=12=God has promised to those who do not give up their great effort
and those who continue in their struggle to purify themselves that
they shall be granted spiritual and worldly gains and when they die,
they shall attain eternal Paradise..... Believers of Promised Messiah
are witnessing the fulfillment of this promise for the past one
hundred years, who live a life of peace and contentment as compared to
others..... The reason why his followers are progressing is because they
are united under one Imam, the Khalifa.
=13= In the verses of the Holy Quran (47:12 and 30:48) Allah has
promised succor to Believers and disappointment to non-believers....
Never is seen, any Prophet or his followers meet with failure.... They
are faced with temporary trials but the end result is always success
because God is with them..... This was so before the times of the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w), during his time and the same tradition shall remain
in place for all times to come after him..... Allah, Who is the Lord of
the worlds, listens to the supplications of His man. Fortunate are
those who strive towards Him and gain His nearness.
=14= The holy Caliph of holy Promised Messiah reminds that mere pledge
of allegiance to the Promised Messiah is not sufficient..... After
making this pledge, one must strive to safeguard and nurture this seed
of faith, provide spiritual food and weed the soil and protect it from
all harm and make the tree that springs forth a fruit-bearing tree.....
The Promised Messiah has said that one who possesses a single goodness
is not entitled to be called a righteous person; only the one who
possesses all good values is a righteous person......It is to be always
remembered that Allah has made a promise to the Believers that He
shall be their Protector and has guaranteed them victory over non-
believers. In the Holy Quran (8:18 and 8:20), God fulfilled His
promise to the weak defending army of Muslims who were fighting
against a mighty army of non-believers during the Battle of Badr and
granted these men victory over the non-believers....This promise of
victory becomes a foundation for the strengthening of faith in the
hearts of Believers....Believers should never be afraid of the masses of
opponents against them; instead, they should announce to them that
their hostility will never bear success....God has promised to the
Promised Messiah that He shall grant his followers victory. He faced
numerous trials during his lifetime and his followers went through
turbulent times after his death, but help came from Allah certainly at
every occasion. This help in itself is a proof of the truthfulness of
the Promised Messiah....The Holy Caliph reminded that God's promises are
fulfilled today just as they were fulfilled in the past.
