emphasis on impressing upon the minds of the
people the importance of understanding the area of
their struggle. There are some who consider
agriculture, business and science as being the area
in which to exert the utmost. There are others who
depend upon elections to bring pressure to bear
upon the government for the realization of their
collective aims and goals.
The Maulana maintained that these material
matters could be likened to bulbs and fans. Even if
we direct all our efforts towards bulbs and fans, we
cannot make them function; we have to operate the
switch which activates them. Similarly it is contact
with God alone which can bring our efforts to
fruition in every field. Without this our best efforts
are in vain.
METHOD OF WORKING
The Maulana’s method of working for this goal was
very simple. It was to revive the activities of the
mosques on the pattern of the early days of Islam.
Movement and travel were greatly emphasized, as a
means to make people truly religious. People were
to be withdrawn for a time from their daily chores
