The Age of Peace

all these groups are facing complete failure in achieving their
goals. Therefore, the time has come for every group to opt for
the right path. It has become necessary for every group to
instantly put a stop to its present fighting and to discover, by
studying the Quran and the Hadith, to what work it should
devote itself.

These days various groups among Muslims are
fighting for the fulfilment of an unfinished agenda.
But events show that all these groups are facing
complete failure in achieving their goals.

Violence is absolutely not an option for Muslims, nor should
struggling to achieve political gain be their goal. Muslims have
only one choice before them, that is, to engage in peaceful
dawah work.
A study of the Quran shows that it has been revealed for all
mankind. (25:1) Therefore, the greatest unfinished agenda of
the Muslim community is only one – and that is the universal
dissemination of Quranic teachings.
Muslims need to consider their lack of success in other fields
as a divine sign. They must realize that God is not pleased with
their present activities. God wants them to work for the right
unfinished agenda. If they do this, they will certainly receive
God’s help. As the Quran says:
‘God will surely help him who helps His cause—God is
indeed powerful and mighty.’ (22:40)
God is waiting to extend His help to those who devote
themselves to the right task, that is, peaceful dawah work.
