Do whatever needs to be done to call people towards God and a God-oriented life which is a life of peace and spirituality. I took this as guidance from God through Maulana. Thinking of these words, I have since felt a sense of urgency and as if we were all always standing in front of God. The first thing the CPS Team did was organize the ongoing tasks of the mission meticulously. The CPS Team had been placing material on www.cpsglobal.org to take God’s message to the world. We first decided to make more efforts to consolidate and revamp the site for easy accessibility. We remembered the task Maulana gave us during the Quran Conference in April 2019, To Take the Quran, a book for all humanity, to the World, in fulfilment of the following prediction of the Prophet: “There will be no home remaining–big or small–into which God will not have caused His word to enter.” (Musnad Ahmad) We realized that this was possible partially through e-Dawah. Through Maulana, God had arranged the explanation of God’s message in simple language and in rational terms.

We began developing a Quran website www.quranforyou.org as a desktop and mobile website as well as an app, where the translations and commentary of the Quran can be placed in all major languages. Presently we have translations in nearly 40 languages; there is a translation even in braille both English and Hindi, and a commentary of the Quran in five languages. The English translation of the Quran is accepted worldwide as simple, clear and in the contemporary idiom. The websites will showcase the material in an organized form under major headings. These can be searched for specific Quran verses as well as for a topic. They will enable easy searches for visitors to find specific topics and find answers to questions in their search for truth. Those who want to study the Quran deeper can go through the commentary and supporting material: articles, videos, audios, books, magazines, etc. that are being placed verse-wise and topic-wise. In the traditional age, we had to go to places where people gathered physically to convey God’s message to them. Today, God has created social media as an online platform for people to gather. CPS has been availing of these social media opportunities through Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to preserve and showcase our video library. We are now organizing our social media handles so that seekers after truth can easily access these resources through LIVE lectures, short
