JANUARY 6 In the Age of Science

In ancient times a number of evils had crept into human society, with the result that man had been divested of his natural greatness. It was the movement of tauhid, launched by the Prophet of Islam and his companions, which led the world out of a pitiable age and caused humanity to enter upon an age of progress in the real sense. For the first time in human history, man received the blessings which had been destined for him, and of which he, had deprived himself on account of his self-styled superstitious beliefs. Humanity emerged from a prolonged age of darkness and entered the age of light. Now, despite all material progress, man is beset by insuperable problems. Trapped in the glitter of civilization, he is deprived of real peace and happiness. The greatness bestowed upon man by nature has again fallen into a new abyss of degradation. Now the need of the hour is to revive the call of tauhid with renewed force and vigour. The task is twofold: tauhid has to be made more acceptable by means of new and forceful arguments and, by using modern means of communication, it has to be spread all over the world. As recorded in the historic prediction made by the Prophet, the time will come when God’s religion will spread all over the world, and not a ‘home or a tent’ will be saved from entering God’s word of monotheism.
