Muslims! I remind you of the
saying of the Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon him). He said:"Muslims! I entertain no
apprehension that you will fall to idol worship, but what I fear for you is that
you might fall into the love of this world". This saying of the Prophet needs
most urgent consideration of the Muslims of today in the light of their present
love of this world. The other saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah that needs to
be considered today in all seriousness is that in which the Prophet said"
Poverty is my pride". This saying too needs very serious consideration by the
Muslims of today in this age of Baconian wealth-seeking, wealth-priding
materialism. Let the Muslims know that this Baconian progress has its peculiar
ills, and the peculiar ill has the peculiar remedy. The extreme materialism of
this age needs extreme other-worldliness as the remedy on the principle of
antithesis. And let it be remembered that Islam interpreted in the terms of
merely worldly glory in this age of Baconian materialism will fail as miserably
to save this world from the flames of the atomic hell as every other religion of
this world has failed. It is high time that the general license of Islam
concerning the worldly necessities of life be discriminated from this all-out
and all-pervading, Baconian progress, and also, let the Islamic view of
knowledge, and contemplation of the works of God, and the subjugation of the
natural forces and resources be discerned from the modern Baconian view of these
matters. Islam has set certain conditions on every one of those, so that one's
eyes can see the great difference that existed between the Baconian and Islamic
views. A closer view reveals the difference and predicts the necessity of a
fierce collision, so that as a result Islam will completely eradicate every
trace of this Baconian atomism and its progress from this world in order to save
this mankind from the burning flames of the atomic hell that is the atomic bombs
and the atomic radiations, and indeed in order to save its own existence from
extinction. It is the notion of otherworldliness that Islam will preach in the
light of the Quran. The entire philosophy of the Quran is based on
otherworldliness (AAKHIRAT) and let the misunderstandings be cleared, before the
atomic bombs begin to burst, or the radiation has changed this earth into a
radio--asylum.
Muslims! I remind you of your special and most essential duty: namely, that of
the publication of the Quran to the entire world, and of your duty as regards
the understanding of the Quran from the view point of the particular situation
of this present-day world, and the present day special problems of the world,
and acquainting the world with the light of the Quran appearing as a result of
your research therein. A difficult work indeed laborious and requiring great
genius, yet it has to be done. It is not just sufficient to say that the Quran
does not oppose the progress, or that the achievements of this modern science
are the exact aim and the object of the Quran. The truth is far from it and
needs much deep insight into the mind of the Quran. The Quran never was meant to
be a book of materialism. It is wonderful indeed to stand before the flames of
atomic hell that are issuing from the Baconian progress, and see them, and then
say, does the Quran oppose the progress, nay but the Quran encourages the
progress for therein is the glory of the religion of Islam and it is
distinguishing feature of Islam. Nay! Islam does not allow this Baconian
progress and is its deadliest foe. Islam means to extinguish this atomic fire
which is now about to consume this creation of Allah on this earth. Your
misunderstanding will only make you a victim of the atomic hell along with the
rest of the nations and will not benefit you in any way, nor will it change the
course of this Baconian progress which as a rule must culminate in the atomic
consumption of this world.
It was Hazrat Immam Shaafi who had said about the chapter Al-Asr, (a chapter of
the Quran comprising merely 18 words) that even if no other chapter in the Quran
had existed, this chapter alone would have sufficed to give guidance to man.
There is yet another chapter in the Quran comprising 36 words, and next in
succession to the chapter of Al-Asr, by the name of Al-Homaza. The attention of
the followers of the Quran all over the world may now be invited toward this
particular chapter of the Quran. If nothing in the Quran had existed besides
this chapter, then even it would have sufficed this mankind to know all that
could be known or all that was necessary to know about this modern Baconian
atomistic materialism from its beginning to its end, its characteristics, its
features, and the methods of avoiding its destructive consequences. This is the
chapter that a careful understanding of it will surely clear all the
misunderstandings which the Muslims today entertain regarding the views of the
Quran about this Baconinan progress. Then will everything about it be crystal
clear before their eyes, and they will really understand their actual role in
this age and will find their destination aright, and then they will work wonders
in this world to save this world from the flames of the atomic hell and will
indeed save themselves too along with the rest of the nations on earth, and then
they will clearly know this age to be the age of Hoamazas and Lomazas, engrossed
in accumulation of the wealth of this world believing in the eternity of this
process of wealth-increase. And then when they will read this particular chapter
of the Quran in the Quran they will wonder and say! Praised be Allah, the
revealer of this wonderful Quran, this standing miracle of guidance to mankind,
how were we ignorant of it so long.
Experience will show the Muslims that despite all their hearty sincerity, and
zeal, and endeavour and strivings, in the revival of Islam, neither much success
in the revival of Islam, nor any sign of averting the atomic danger was there in
sight so long as this Baconian progress continued. In ordinary circumstances
they could have been allowed to continue this kind of experiment, but
unfortunately this particular situation of the atomic phenomenon in this world
of today would not allow any such margin, and may be that the Muslims realized
the truth only when the die was cast and the atomic destiny of this world and
their's along with it was spun and they found themselves being broiled in the
flames of the atomic hell either under the hails of the atomic bombs or under
the stings of the deadly radiations of the atomic-energy-for-peace. Let them
dread therefore and shudder at the grievous forbidding of the Quran who happen
to know its warning about the atomic hell. And you will realize, if you become
the victims of the atomic hell in this world, its horrors, you followers of the
Quran, shudder therefore and cry and lament and wail at your misfortune, not
indeed so much at your destruction in the flames of the atomic hell, the atomic
bombs or the atomic radiations of the atomic energy for peace in this transient
world, for the transient punishment will end with the death, but rather shudder
at another certainty which the Quran has with all the force declared, namely,
that Homaza Lomaza that is the backbiting defamer who amasseth wealth of this
world, and arrangeth it against the future, and believeth that his wealth will
render him immortal, will certainly be cast into the eternal hell of Hotama in
the next world. The easiest thing in this world is to know that this Baconian
age is the age of Proud Homaza Lomaza engrossed in wealth-accumulation, and
believing in the eternity of this process of progress with its five yearly
plans, to infinity, if, therefore, the people of this present generation escape
the atomic bombs and the effects of atomic radiations, for there is possibility
that some generations of this present mankind might escape the flames of atomic
hell. There is no possibility of their escaping the flames of the eternal hell
of Hotama of the next eternal world, since the adherents of this Baconian
culture fulfill the conditions of the Quran for Hotama. You! that are Muslims
could be among the inmates of Hotama, for as the commentators of the Holy Quran
point out, there is no consideration for faith in this particular punishment of
Al-Hotama and the fact is apparent from the text of the Quran. Read Surah Homaza
and read the commentaries of the greatest of the commentators of the Quran and
you shall know the dreadful truth. Wake up therefore from your lengthy slumber
and consult your safety. Let this particular chapter of the Quran hereafter be
the topic of your discussion every way and every where, if you scorn to be
consumed as contemptible slaves just dragged behind others equally blind into
the atomic jehannah. Read the Quran therefore, carefully and mark your path and
determine your destination that perhaps you might be saved from a horrible doom.
And even if you do not fear the atomic bombs and the atomic radiations of this
world, dread I pray at least the flames of the horrible Hotama of the next
world, the eternal world. Begin to read the Quran in reference to this Baconian
culture, and know the reality. Muslims! If you fail to publish this particular
warning of the Quran (Al-Homaza) as interpreted by me in 3000 pages in English
to this mankind then know that double punishment awaits you. In this world you
will be consumed by the flames of the atomic hell with the rest of the nations,
while in the next world you will stand answerable before the throne of Allah as
guilty of failing the Quran and failing the mankind. And if you have read in the
Quran the claim of Allah that if this Quran were revealed to the mountains, they
would be scattered, then know that this particular chapter of the Quran, this
chapter of Al-Homaza, this warning of the Quran to this mankind is a living
specimen of the terribleness of the Quran. This chapter, let it be known, is far
more powerful than all the stockpiles of the atomic bombs in the world. It can
neutralize them, extinguish them. If the Muslims will ignore it, neglect it and
will not be able to publish it to the entire mankind of today, then know that
this warning of the Quran which has taken me decades to explain and interpret it
in 3000 pages, will within the Islamic world hiss, and boil and erupt like a
furious volcano and will convulse the areas around it. This warning of the Quran
is the last argument of Allah with the doomed mankind, and is, the sole guidance
and the only hope of this mankind on earth. It will be deemed as serious neglect
on the part of the followers of the Quran and liable to serious providential
reprisals.
Muslims! I have warned you, and let Allah be a witness between us regarding this
very crucial matter. I ask no reward of you. My reward is with my Allah. Yet if
you will deprive this creation of this warning of the Quran ---and to deprive
this world now of this sole guidance against the atomic ruin, is grievous--you
will be answerable. And it is upto you now whether to stand up against this
atomic hell to save this mankind manfully and like true Muslims, or to go
slavishly down the atomic hell yourselves behind the enkindlers of atomic hell.
The matter is one that warrants serious consideration. May Allah grant you
sight, might, spirit and fortitude for such an undertaking. Amen.
