AN INTERVIEW WITH MS GUL ZEBA

we are putting ourselves out there to share this wonderful Book. Many accept the Quran as a special gift. It is important to find any opportunity to share the Quran. When I travel, I share the Quran with the airline crew. What inspiration do you draw from Prof Farida Khanam? She is humble in her interactions. She represents the organization so beautifully. She takes time to listen to others and understand their thoughts and experiences. She has played the role of such an influential mentor for me. What is your message to the women members of the CPS in particular? My message to the women members of this mission is that they should study Maulana’s books with concentration so that they can contemplate and analyze events of the past and the present. This is a wonderful way to achieve self-development. What are your plans regarding this mission and your role in it? My plans include continuing to work on myself and develop my personality for the better, and distributing more Qurans with our brothers and sisters so that every person has the opportunity to learn the creation plan of God through the Quran. I am aiming my efforts toward the youth through classes. I am very hopeful that they will carry this message forward. What do you think is the legacy of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan? How can we strive to take it forward? Maulana has always reiterated the importance of knowledge through his own life and this organization. In 2007 one of my friends sent me a link for the Urdu periodical Al-Risala. It was like a door opened for me. From Al-Risala, I got the USA CPS team head Mr Khaja Kaleemuddin’s contact. I contacted him and told him that through Maulana’s book, I had discovered God and His creation plan and that I would like to offer my contribution to this noble task. He asked me how many books I had read. I told him that I had read four of his books so far. Kaleem Saheb replied that my contribution to this mission would be to read more of Maulana’s books. He sent me a big box of Maulana’s books. Maulana wanted us to pass along the message of the Quran and to do better with that knowledge. That is his legacy to me. o
