AN INTERVIEW WITH DR RAJAT MALHOTRA

supplicate to God and in no time God’s angels will rush for the help. He also said that if there arises a group who questions CPS, then you and CPS members should not falter or give up, rather keep praying to God, stay positive and work till you meet your Lord. One thing Maulana said clearly was that, he considers only those people his disciples who will manage their differences and do not leave the CPS group. He said, to go against the mission of communicating the message of the Quran to people, whatever the reason, will not be accepted by God. One should stay united inspite of the differences. Maulana further said that in spite of being misunderstood, if a person continues to be in the mission and does not leave, and this he does for the sake of God, his action will be highly rewardable in the Hereafter. While we were having this conversation, Maulana began to cry and said, "If you follow this advice, then mark my words, you will witness that on the day of Judgement, angels will announce that here is the team which managed differences on their own." He then said that there will be a great welcome for such a group. To my mind, this is the biggest reason for us staying together till we play our roles. He never focused on quantity but on individuals. This is the reason he was able to prepare a team so strong which has only firmed up its resolve to carry his legacy forward after his demise. Had he focused on quantity, the CPS mission would have been history by now. What is the CPS Peace Mission? The CPS Peace mission is a mission of hope for humanity. There is so much negativity, sadness, hate, feeling of hopelessness, jealousy, and temptations in the world. All these are due to the people not understanding why this world was created in the first place. What is the Creation Plan of God? How can we discover our Creator? This unawareness has led people to do whatever it takes to fulfil their unlimited desires. This becomes the trigger to misusing one’s freedom whether at an individual level or at the level of a nation. The CPS mission has answered all the above questions in the contemporary idiom. The CPS mission is based on the ideology presented by Maulana who derived the principles of spirituality and peace from the Quran, the practical model of the Prophet Muhammad and sound principles of reason.
