A brief outline of the work of Tabligh, its importance and urgent need have been discussed. it now remains to be judged as to how all this can guide us and bring us the desired relief and benefits in these times, which are filled with confusion, unrest and benefits in these times, which are filled with confusion, unrest and conflicts.

For this, once again, we have to seek guidance from the Quran refers to the hard work and patience for the faith of Islam as a highly profitable business and puts it across in the following manner:
"O you who believe! Shall I point out to you a trade that will shield you from a grievous doom? Believe in Allah and His Rasul and perform Jihad in His way with your wealth and lives. This is best for you, if you understand. Your Allah will forgive your sins and you shall enter Jannah, under which ripple (beauteous) streams and stately abodes in everlasting gardens and this is great success.... And another which you covet much, i.e. succor from Allah and victory near at hand, and give glad tidings to those who believe" (al-Saff 10-13)

The above Ayah describes a trade, which, if accepted, promises rescue from all types of sufferings and punishments. The trade meant is to have a firm faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) and His Rasul and to struggle hard in the path of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala), without avoiding using one's life and wealth. This again points to the act of Tabligh, which can ensure for us everlasting well being and happiness. It is this simple work that will bring us great benefits, such as the forgiveness for all our sins, deliberate mistakes and shortcomings and high rewards in the Akhirah. So much for the success, in the next life, which really is the greatest joy for a Muslim, but there is also a clear hint for this life, too. We shall get what we like most, such as prosperity, divine help and success against all our enemies.

In other words, Allah (Subhanahu Wa Taala) has demanded two things from us, first to have firm faith in Him and His Rasul secondly, to struggle hard in His path, giving, if need be, our lives and all that we possess. In return for this, He has also promised two things first a beautiful and peaceful house in Jannah with an eternal life and everlasting happiness and second, honor and success in this life. The first demand on us is that of Iman. This is exactly what Tabligh is meant to bring to us, that we should all be gifted with the wealth of true faith. The second demand is that of struggling in the path of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) which actually means Jihad. Jihad may normally mean sometimes fighting a war against oppressors and non believers. Actually however, it means spreading belief in Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) being One and enforcing Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's commandments, which is also the topmost aim of Tabligh. Actually it should be clear to us now that happiness and success in the life after death is solely dependent on having firm faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) and His Rasul and in struggling hard in the path laid down by Him. Similarly, success and prosperity in this life, too, depend entirely on that very faith and on spending all our efforts in the path of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala)

When we fulfil these basic requirements, firstly, of faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) and His Rasul, and, secondly, of struggling hard in their path, through these two qualities alone, we can decorate ourselves with high noble qualities and excellence of character. Only then can we be fit to receive the promised Khilafah of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) and His kingdom on earth, which are bound to come as is promised in the Quran:
To those of you who believe and do righteous deeds, Allah promises that He will certainly give dominance to them in this world as He gave to those before you, and the religion that has been chosen for them shall be strengthened for them, and He will thereafter certainly transform their fear into tranquility; provided they worship Me and associate none with Me (al_Noor 55)

The above Ayah describes a direct promise of kingdom, but through Iman and righteous deeds. This was actually fulfilled in the days of the Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihi wassallam) and remained in effect right through the period of the first four caliphs of Islam who were guided by Allah (Aboo Bakr, Umar, Usman and Ali (Radiallaho Anho) . Practically the whole of Arabia had become an Islamic State in the days of the Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihi wassallam) himself and the rest of the countries (Muslim countries of today) mostly joined Islam during the period of the first four Caliphs or immediately after their time. Later on, too, the promise continued to be fulfilled in favor of a number of Muslims kings and Caliphs and it would still happen if someone fulfills the conditions, as is clear from another Ayah Surely Allah's followers shall dominate (Al- Maaidah 56) In this WebPages, a study of the present situation and a practical solution for improving it has been given, in fact the solution is nothing else that the actual Islamic way of life which belonged to our forefathers and early Muslims.

For the high devotion, keenness and perseverance of Hadhrat Mohammad Ilyas (Rahmat-Allah-Alaihi) and also due to the profound zeal shown by many other learned and pious personages among Muslims, a cohesive work is currently in progress for the propagation of Islam and the Islamic way of life. This fact is known to most of the wellinformed Muslims of this period. Although an unworthy being for the high mission; I have been commanded by the distinguished gentlemen referred to above to write an account of this work, so as to bring out clearly the special features of propagation (Tabligh) and also to highlight the burning need for this, the Supreme Islamic activity. at this critical juncture. so that. as many Muslims as possible are able to understand and benefit from what is going on.

This very system has actually been put into practice, in the recent past, in the territory of Mewaat and a few other districts around Delhi (India). Although the work in that region has not yet reached the final stage, the progress of the local Muslims, however, has been considerable. The blessings and benefits of the system of Tabligh are clearly visible and worth witnessing. If all Muslims collectively resolve to follow the noble example described above and adopt the correct system of life, as described in this book, there is every hope that, through that effort, Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) may remove all our hardships and troubles and we may be able to regain our faith, the power to do righteous deeds and the resultant honor, greatness and glory in this life and attain permanent success in the next. The Muslims can then set an example for the rest of the world to live in peace, rest and happiness, which is the natural desire of every man on earth.

An attempt has been made to explain as clearly as possible the real purpose behind the publishing this Website, which is to present the surfers the sketch of a practical way of life which, about sixty years ago, had been started and forcefully followed by Maulana Mohammed Ilyas (Rahmatullah Alaihi). He had in fact devoted all his life for this sacred purpose and mission. It is upto us, the Muslims of the present time, to understand our obligations towards Islam and fulfil them in our own interest and that of the coming generations and of mankind at large. The way is clear and well set. Let us begin the march and fix our minds on the final goal, which is to earn the pleasure and approval of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala).

Allah knows best.
