This is the real reason for all our efforts in the present age
having been rendered futile (Quran 2:217, 3:22). We launched
movements based on worldly politics and that is why we were not
eligible for divine succour. If now we want to save ourselves from
destruction, the only way for us to achieve this is to stand up as
da‘is
to the peoples of the world, abandoning any collision course
on all counts—political and economic—and making the conveying
of the Creation Plan of God the real issue of importance.
This is the only way of ensuring succour from God and unless
we obtain God’s succour we will not be able to achieve success of
any kind—either in this world or the Hereafter.
Honour for the believers is a divine gift or blessing received as a
reward for the performance of some special task. Then what is that
special task to be carried out by the believers which enables them
to receive this reward? It is the same as the objective of raising
the Muslim community. That is, conveying the message of God to
man, making people aware of the divine will in order that no one
may lay the blame on God on the Day of Judgement, for not having
been informed of the Creation Plan. This is the act which makes
believers deserving of the divine blessings. If we fail to perform
this desired task, no other struggle can make us deserving of divine
blessings.
