Most Caring, Most Lenient is Allah!

Allâhu ta'âlâ made Heaven and Damnation ahead of time.

Destining, in the timeless past, that He would fill the two of them

with men and genies, He pronounced this reality in His Books. As there

have been accepting and great individuals meriting Heaven since (the

first man and Prophet) Âdam 'alaihis-salâm', there have additionally been

shifty, impulsive and insidious individuals who have been committing the

disasters which will convey them to Damnation. These two gatherings will

continue possessing the earth till Judgment day. The quantity of heavenly messengers is

especially more prominent than that of men, and they are devoted and

respectful. Men, conversely, are more seldom dependable than they are

fickle, insubordinate and intrusive.

Great individuals and fiendish ones have consistently attempted to demolish

one another, the fiendish have likewise gone after each other and lived in

pain and uneasiness since the beginning of time. Devotees have performed

jihâd to teach unbelievers and to direct them to valid

confidence and subsequently to unending ecstasy, and to guide humankind to a blissful

what's more, quiet life in this world and the following. Unbelievers, on the

other hand, have laid out domineering systems, wherein a minor

bunch manhandles the frail and the mediocre to have an existence of

intemperance and scattering and to fulfill their enticing cravings.

Furthermore, to hide their disasters, damages and injuries, they

have gone after Prophets 'alaihim-us-salâm' and the religions they

brought in light of the fact that they laid out the standards of morals, ethicalness

furthermore, uprightness. In certain hundreds of years these assaults were squeezed with

- 3 -

lethal weaponry, and once in a while they were made in covert

fighting, which included misleading promulgation, underhandedness making,

causing social uproars, disruption, sabotaging religions from

inside, and obliterating Islamic states from the inside.

In like manner, the radiant Islamic religion, which is a manual for

salvation and improvement and a signal to material and otherworldly

progress, and which was uncovered to our lord, the last and the

most elevated Prophet Muhammad Mustafâ 'sall-Allâhu alaihi wa sallam',

whom Allâhu ta'âlâ made as the most prevalent, the most

delightful and the most respectable one of the whole humankind

worldover in all regards, and picked and sent him as the Prophet to

all countries, was exposed to a similar treatment. Irresolute, indecent

furthermore, salacious individuals not just gone after His religion in crusading

endeavors, which incorporated a wide range of torture and barbarity, yet

additionally endeavored hard to trick Muslims by masking themselves as

Muslims, making deceptive and deceiving oral and composed

proclamations, setting siblings against each other and in this way

crushing Islam from the inside. The harm brought about by their

seditionary tries wails of their prosperity.

Incendiary exercises among Muslims date back to the hour of the

Ashâb-I-kirâm 'alaihim-ur-ridwân', when a Yemeni Jew, who had

purported to embrace Islam and changed his name to Abdullah canister

Saba', planted the principal seeds of strife among Muslims. He began a

malevolent pattern. He endeavored to attack the Sahâba, who were the

mates of the Courier of Allah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa

sallam'. The apostasy concocted by the Jew was known as the Râfidî organization,

a label which has at last changed into the Shiite group. His

model was trailed by numerous an adversary of religion, who designed

numerous a sin under the shroud of strict men and deluded millions

of Muslims out of the genuine course.

The Courier of Allah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sallam' had

predicted about this vile fiasco that planned to occur for

his Umma (Muslims), with the accompanying assertions: "My Umma

will part into 73 distinct gatherings. 72 of them

will steer from the correct way and end up in Damnation. One gathering will

submit to my and my Sahâba's way." This gathering of the correct way

has been called Ahl as-sunna(t).
