in your Lord,” and we believed. Lord, forgive us our sins and remove from us our bad deeds and make us die with the virtuous. Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised to us through Your messengers, and do not humiliate us on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You never fail to fulfil Your promise.’ (3: 193-194) Those who think deeply, seeking a more profound reality, find it unthinkable that a meaningful universe should have a meaningless end. They discover that the message conveyed by the preacher is the announcement, in human language, of the same reality which is being silently proclaimed by the whole universe. The greatest issue is that when the truth is unveiled, and the ‘sun’ of justice makes its appearance, they should not be left deprived and destitute. So when the truth appears, they rush towards it, remembering God. By breaking all personal bonds and ridding their thoughts of worldly considerations, they become one with the preacher of truth; so that in the next world, when the ‘darkness’ and the ‘light’ of the universe are separated, the Lord of the universe will make them inhabit the light, and will not abandon them to fumble eternally in the dark. The true measure of wisdom, on the other hand, and folly, on the other, is wholly different from the one devised by human beings on their own. A wise man is one who lives in the remembrance of God, who can discover the divine meaningfulness at work in the creation plan of the universe. In contrast, an unwise man is one who keeps his mind engaged in other, material things, who lives in this world as if he is totally unaware of the creation plan of the Lord of the Universe. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
