A Call
English book, p. 71
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
A Call P rophet Muhammad was given the responsibility of calling people to the Truth. He gathered the inhabitants of Makkah near the hill of Safa and said to them that they would die in the same way as they slept, and that they would be brought back to life in the same way as they woke up from sleep. After that, there would be either eternal Heaven or eternal Hell. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 4770) When the Prophet became the head of Madinah and entered the town, he delivered a similar speech. On this occasion, too, the biggest thing that he had to talk about was about people saving themselves from the punishment of Hellfire. (Sahih alBukhari, Hadith No. 1413) Our work at the Centre for Peace and Spirituality is to carry on with this mission of the Prophet of Islam. There are many people who are actively involved in issues related to the manifold problems of life in this world. We focus, instead, on issues related to the problems of what happens after death. Is there anyone who would like to join this mission? People are concerned about war and strife and riots in this world. Is there anyone who is concerned about the leaping flames of Hell and who would like to support us to warn humanity about this fire?
