In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Ever Merciful“A Nation Cannot be reformed without First Reforming its Youth” (HADHRAT KHALIFATUL MASIH II (RA)) NOVEMBER 2012THE HOLY QUR’ANIn the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful23. He is Allah, and there is no God beside Him, theKnower of the unseen and the seen. He is theGracious, the Merciful.24. He is Allah, and there is no God beside Him, theSovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, theBestower of Security, the Protector, the Mighty, theSubduer, the Exalted. Holy is Allah far above thatwhich they associate with Him.25. He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, theFashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All thatis in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and Heis the Mighty, the Wise.(Ch. 59: V. 23-25)بِسْمِ‏ هللاِ‏ الرَّحْ‏ مَٰنِ‏ الرَّحِيمِ‏HADITHJabir narrates that he heard the Holy Prophet (saw) state:"The most excellent way of remembering Allah is to proclaim: There is no one worthy ofworship except Allah. And the best supplication is to profess: All praise belongs to Allah."(Tirmidhi)WRITINGS OF THE PROMISED MESSIAH (AS)The Unity of God is a light which illumines the heart only after the negation of all deities,whether they belong to the inner world or the outer world. It permeates every particle of man'sbeing. How can this be acquired without the aid of God and His Messenger? The duty of manis only to bring death upon his ego and turn his back to devilish pride. He should not boast ofhis having been reared in the cradle of knowledge but should consider himself as if he weremerely an ignorant person, and occupy himself in supplications. Then the light of Unity willdescend upon him from God and will bestow new life upon Him.(Roohani Khazain Vol. 22 Haqiqatul-Wahi, p 148)The Inner Park Khuddam newsletter team welcomes your comments or suggestions for improvements to this newsletter.
