THE CALL

2. HAZRATJI ~ 71 ~ our people into a separate Jama’at (party). We are just working on the pattern of the mosques where people come together from different walks of life and, after having said their prayers, return to their daily chores. In the same manner, we ask you to spare some time to train yourselves, and then go back to your daily duties. Once you have imbibed religion in its true spirit, the people of the world will approach you to acquire knowledge from you, and Insha Allah, one of these days, the leadership of the world will be conferred upon you.” In a speech he advises the preachers thus: “When you visit someone in person with the aim of conveying the message to him, and you find him un-favourably inclined, you should cut short your visit and come back to pray for him. On your next visit, when you find him showing some interest, only then should you speak to him in detail. When you visit a religious scholar, you should ask only for his blessings. However, if you find him willing to hear you, you can briefly mention your work to him.”
