Building Life

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

step is to pause and make sure there is a solid foothold to help us move forward. Trying to move ahead without such a support is like taking a reckless leap, instead of taking a step toward progress and success. Is there anyone who will learn a lesson from this incident? ONE DAY In Delhi, there is an Islamic institution called Madrasa Islamia Arabia Faizul Quran in the Mehrauli area. It was founded by Maulana Muhammad Talha and Maulana Bashir Ahmad Rashid Al-Amini in 1992. On July 24, 1994, its first religious educational gathering was held. The chief guest was Maulana Muhammad Siddiq Bandwi. At their invitation, I also attended this event. Leaving Nizamuddin, we traveled through different parts of Delhi. As we reached Mehrauli, we saw the Qutub Minar, which stands tall and is visible from far away as the tallest structure in the area. The Qutub Minar was built in the 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak. Records show that the Qutub Minar in Delhi still remains to honour his victories: “The Qutub Minar in Delhi still stands to commemorate his victories.” (Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 8, p. 362)
