THE CALL
The Maulana’s eagerness to lead people along the
right path had turned to anguish. To him, faith
involved trusting in God in all matters to the
exclusion of all else. Once he said that working for
this cause entailed a firm belief in God because it
was He alone who could bring success. Man had to
submerge his being within Him. He had to be fully
convinced that in following the prophetic way alone
lay the success of both the worlds.
“There are two fields of struggle,” he once said
“One concerns the earth on which we live, and the
other is the world of faith. The first type of struggle
brings forth the fruits of our worldly labours. But it
does not afford one any deep sense of happiness
and contentment. The second type of struggle reaps
dividends in the next world.” To the Maulana,
dominance on earth was subject to our leading truly
Islamic lives. As he said, “Follow the pattern of the
Prophet. Those who neither wish to follow his path
themselves nor let others follow it, will be shattered
by God as He does the shell of an egg. The super
powers, to God, are not worth even a spider’s web.
