80 Barahin-e-ahmadiyya
have developed a strange kind of liberalism. Their conceited hearts
are devoid of the bliss that springs from simplicity, humility and
purity. Most of what they learn draws them away from religion;
and many, on account of their compounded ignorance, try to
assume the role of philosophers even before they have learned to
undertake proper research.
Have mercy on your children, your community and your
countrymen and pull them towards the truth and rectitude before
they are irretrievably drawn into falsehood. You will thus be doing
a great service to your children. And the world, too, will find out
that in comparison with Islam, the other religions are devoid of
substance. The divine law of nature teaches us that effort and
striving is most often the means to success and that those who
are neglectful and indolent remain for the most part deprived
and unfortunate. If you strive to spread the truthfulness of Islam,
which is truth, God shall never allow your efforts to go in vain.
He has blessed us with hundreds of incontrovertible proofs for
the truth of Islam whereas our opponents are empty-handed, and
He has established us on the truth while others rest on falsehood.
They cannot even remotely imagine the kind of genuine enthusiasm
that a righteous person has for demonstrating the glory of
the One God. And yet, relentless effort is something so effective
that the followers of falsehood can also sometimes reap benefits
from it. Their efforts, like those of a persistent thief, can bear fruit
once in a while. Take the Christians, for instance, whose principles
appear absurd even at a cursory glance, and yet the consistent
efforts of their missionaries have resulted in the growing popularity
of their faith, so much so that each year they proudly publish
reports of four to eight thousand people joining their ranks.
