“
Have you fully realised what Islam is?
It is indeed a religion founded on truth.
It is such a fountain-head of learning
that several streams of wisdom
and knowledge flow from it.
It is such a lamp
that several lamps will be lighted from it.
It is a lofty beacon
illuminating the path of Allah.
It is such a set of principles and beliefs
that it will satisfy every seeker of truth and reality.
Know you all!
that Allah has made Islam the most sublime path
for the attainment of His supreme pleasure.
He has favoured it with
noble precepts
exalted principles
undeniable wisdom
undoubtable arguments
and unchallengeable supremacy.
It is up to you to maintain the eminence
and dignity granted to it by the Lord,
to follow it sincerely,
to do justice in its articles of faith and belief,
to obey implicitly its tenets and orders
and to give it the proper place in your lives.
