forester was shocked at what his son said. He began to think: Soon
I will leave to appear before God. What if God says: “If you have
not brought anything for Me, why did you come here?” Then what
answer would I have to this question? (p.22)
In this true story there is a great lesson for the people of Kashmir.
Kashmir is a region to which people flock from the outside world—
tourists from the west and other parts of the world, Hindu pilgrims,
Indian soldiers, etc. Their total number is put at about 30 lakhs
annually. These people are like
madus
sent to them by God. They
come to the people of Kashmir in order that the latter may convey
to them, the méssage of God and tell them of His creation plan.
This is an extremely delicate situation. The time for
Doomsday to come is not far off: then all the people of Kashmir
will be brought before God on the Day of Resurrection. If at
that time, God asks them -- in the context of His having sent
to them such large numbers of people, who were unaware of the
truth, and their having His book, the Quran in their possession
-- what they had done to make those people aware of the truth,
and if the people of Kashmir have no positive answer to this
question, and then God asks them: “When you did not do My
work, then why did you come here?” --- Then what will be the
plight of the people of Kashmir? This state of affairs demands
that they think over this question more than anyone else, and
without a moment’s delay, begin to perform
dawah
work in order
that the message of God may reach everyone before they die.

There is beautiful natural scenery all over Kashmir—green trees,
flowering shrubs, springs, lake and flowing rivers, and with the
chirping of birds, and the abundance of fruits and flowers, the whole
of Kashmir seems like a garden.This environment of nature is calling
out in silent language that here there is no room for hatred or enmity.
Engaging in the culture of violence here is totally against the creation
plan of God and something which goes against it, can never meet
with success in this world of God. In the winter of 2012, Kashmir
had a snowfall which was much heavier than usual. Snowfall is a
beautiful natural phenomenon. Someone has rightly remarked that
it looks like spiritual rain. On February 13, 2012, a Kashmiri Muslim
sent the following sms to one of the Cps members: “Kashmir has
