in the form of the process. The revolutionary role of the Companions set in motion a process in history that went on growing in later generations in various forms. Four thousand years ago, a process of history was initiated in the desert of Arabia through Hajira and Ishmael. The group of the Companions of the Prophet in the seventh century culminated in this process. Another historical process began in the seventh century with the revolutionary mission of the Companions of the Prophet. The work of the Brothers of the Prophet will be the culmination of this second historical process. It would appear from the traditions that this group, the Brothers of the Prophet, was to emerge in the scientific age. This group will be able to realize God at a higher level because of the knowledge accumulating from scientific research, which uncovers the signs of God hidden in nature. Equipped with new and powerful means of functioning in the form of technology, these people can perform the work at a global level. It is this process which is called in a Hadith, the entry of the word of God into all homes. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 23814)
