Speech of Maulana Yusuf Rahimullah
Speech of Maulana Saad Starts................
Rough Translation in ENGLISH:
So the effort and the moving around, its
spirit is Da’wa…Maulwi Ilyas(rah) used to say that this is just the
skeleton of the work, its soul is Da’wa……the entire thing is a
framework…whether the effort or the worship..it is a skeleton and it
will come to life through da’wa..otherwise this work…this work[effort]
is like a body…..the entire benefits(ifaadiyaat) of this body….its
moving around…all its achievements(manfa'at)…… are dependent upon its
soul..hence we need to believe in it. The Qur’an has sworn that humanity
is in loss and cannot come out of this loss without da’wa (repeated
twice). Those people will be saved from loss ….they will achieve
salvation….who have 4 things in them….Faith, good deeds, inviting others
towards faith and good deeds..(repeated)….inviting others towards good
and stopping them from evil. Inviting towards faith and good deeds..this
is also a condition for salvation like faith and good deeds themselves.
The ‘Ulama have written that these are the four conditions for
salvation (najaat). Faith (Iman), good deeds (amal al Saleh), Tawasee
bi’l Haqq (calling towards Haqq), tawasee bi’s sabr (calling towards
patience). If even one is left out, then (all) the conditions for
salvation will not be met. Hence workers must believe that this Ummah
cannot come out of its state of loss without the work of Da’wa.
