God states
that everything
in this world is
going to
perish;
however, He
also gives the
glad-tiding that
after the end of
the transitory
life of this
world, eternal
life will begin
Those whose
deeds will be
in accordance
to God’s
pleasure, who
will give
preference to
faith, will be
inheritors of
blessings in
the eternal life
They will be
granted
forgiveness
and mercy and
will be given
nearness to
God because
they would
have tried to
gain His
pleasure and
would have
tried to make
their lives
worthwhile
The glad-tiding of Paradise is also given to those
who give their lives for faith and attain the status of
martyrdom

Today it is only the people of the community of
the Muhammadan Messiah who try to spend

faith, and they do so till their last breath, or they
are martyred for the sake of their faith, targeted
by the oppressors for the ‘crime’ of accepting
the Muhammadan Messiah

A beautiful incidence
When he was chosen to go to Rabwah from Ghana
as a young child to be a Hafiz, he initially failed his
medical test
His father prayed intensively in Tahajjud and was
given a glad tiding that there is success for the
righteous
A couple of weeks later another medical was taken
and Hafiz sahib was deemed fit
Once he was in Pakistan, whenever his father wrote
to him he would say that his going to Pakistan was
God’s decree and he should pay attention to his
studies.
