....Hazrat
Bilâl, who had been subjected to prolonged torture merely because
of what he believed in his heart, and who had been dragged through
the streets of Mecca with a rope around his neck merely because
he had said "God is one," used to climb up to the highest place
next to the mosque and recite the call for prayers shouting "Allahu
Akbar, Allâhu Akbar."
....O Lord! What an awesome grace,
what a great blessing, what a great freedom!
....THE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES OF
THE FINAL PROPHET
....During the time before Hazrat
Muhammad Allah Almighty sent certain prophets to certain societies;
these prophets communicated the divine commands only to those
societies to which they had been sent, giving them good advice
and summoning them only to belief.
....Some of these societies followed
the advice of their prophets, which lived according to the divine
commands, which worshipped God and obtained spiritual illumination
and tastes became happy in this world as well as in the hereafter.
....But others did not pay heed to
the advice of their prophets, they rebelled against the divine
commands, and they strayed far from the path, falling into idolatry
perished away.
....When the time of the last Prophet
came!
....Allah Almighty declares:
...."And We have not sent thee
(O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a warner unto
all mankind." (Saba, 28)
