          “We must accord due respect to Muslims. This can
        
        
          take place only when we step down to the lowly
        
        
          position of a slave of God.
        
        
          “If we learn the lessons of true humility when we
        
        
          know consciously that we are not worthy of being
        
        
          honoured while others are, then can we rest assured
        
        
          that unity is secured.
        
        
          “We have to make sacrifices of our interests in this
        
        
          path. Power rests in the hands of God, not in the
        
        
          hands of mortals. When we fully submit ourselves
        
        
          to Him, He grants a share of it, if He so wills. And if
        
        
          we rebel against Him, He can take away even what
        
        
          we already possess, just as He did with the
        
        
          rebellious Jews who called themselves the chosen
        
        
          people of God. God does not judge people by
        
        
          relationships. It is our deeds alone which matter.
        
        
          “My friends, exert with all your might in this cause
        
        
          of bringing unity to our people, through faith and
        
        
          self reform. This community should become one
        
        
          which worships God as is proper and is humble
        
        
          towards its fellowmen, which gives respect to
        
        
          others, is obedient to God, and whose members’
