AN INTERVIEW WITH MAULANA IQBAL UMRI

What difference did you find between other Islamic movements and the CPS Mission? I understood clearly, through Maulana, that the goal of a believer is God-realization and introducing the message of the Quran to the seekers is the mission of a believer. How do you think the message of the CPS Mission is unique? Confirmation of the teachings of Islam and its universal reach both are divine blessings in the modern age. Other movements have awareness neither of the contemporary times nor of the changes that have arisen because of it. Therefore, the correct image of Islam could not be built. Islam was considered a religion of terrorism. The CPS Mission looks at the modern era as an era of confirmation of God's existence and an era of global opportunities for peaceful introduction of God’s message. Describe a memorable example of contemplation. Once, while travelling on a plane, a question suddenly came to my mind: Which is the most difficult phase for a pilot, the take-off phase or the moment of landing of a flight. While thinking on this question, I was reminded of a Hadith: Verily, the results of deeds done depend on the last actions. (Sahih Bukhari) The most important stage for the success of air travel is the last stage, i.e. proper landing. Similarly, human life continues to pass through different highways. This prayer came out of my tongue: “O God! Just as you made my air journey today through a proper landing, so tomorrow the plane of my life is going to land in the Hereafter. O God! Grant me a proper landing in the Hereafter.” Once, my child was not feeling well. He did not sleep all night. The child was in my hands and suddenly I said, “O God, neither sleep nor slumber overtakes You. O God, when a father wraps his children in his arms in a difficult time, so, you are my God, just as you are taking care of me today in my difficult times, take care of me tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection.” How was the experience of working with Maulana Wahiduddin Khan? After meeting with Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, the intellectual confusion was removed. There was clarity in the purpose. Whenever I got the opportunity to attend his meetings. I learned aspects of God-realization, introducing the peaceful message of the Quran, and wisdom of life.
