WARNING PEOPLE OF THE
HEREAFTER
Muslims have a responsibility to God: to tell all
nations of the world that the day shall come when
God will judge them, meting out reward and
punishment according to the merits and demerits of
people’s actions. The Muslims’ present and future
well-being rests entirely upon their fulfillment of
this responsibility. Their value lies in the
performance of this service of conveying the divine
message. They are of no value in the sight of God if
they do not rise to this task.
If Muslims neglect this responsibility, nothing that
they do will be acceptable to God; even their
apparently religious work will count for nothing.
When they neglect this responsibility, God will
leave them to their enemies; He will set other
nations over them. Even the movements, which
they call Islamic, but which are not aimed at the
execution of this duty, will come to nothing. They
will continue to indulge in wishful thinking, but
they will not be able to deny the truth of the fact
that God has deserted them.
