The ascendancy of Islamic thought

The ascendancy of Islamic thought

1993 3 March 17 The ascendancy of Islamic thought (208) Among the prophecies in the New Testament regarding the coming of the Prophet of Islam is this one:

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite nations. (Revelation, 19: 15)

This means that the religion of the Final Prophet will be supported by the sword of words, not the sword of iron; it will be the ideological ascendancy of Islam which will vanquish nations; the strength of the Prophet of Islam will be words which man utters rather than metals which are extracted from the earth.

This is a great prophecy. It means that the followers of the Final Prophet will never be defenseless or empty-handed. They will, potentially, have supreme might at their command, even when they seem powerless. The secret of the strength of Islam is the ascendancy of its thought, and that is something, which can never be taken away from it.

This prophecy was fulfilled entirely during the Prophet’s life. The Word of God that was revealed to him had taken most of the known world by storm. Today also the power of the word of God can work wonders, on the condition that the followers of the Prophet convey it as he and his companions did.
