Roses and Guns - To Choose From!

Peace be on all.
A significant part of wealth of Muslim world is being used / destroyed in raising recruits from inlands and importing them from West. The other part of money is being spend to buy weapons. All this to annihilate innocents and to create terror.



Holy Quran set the agenda for believers to get nearness of Allah by paying His rights and rights of Creation.



A large part of sympathy and compassion for God’s creation necessitates spending wealth. Without this sacrifice, faith is not completed. “Never shall you attain to righteousness unless you spend out of that which you love…….” [Holy Quran ch 3: v 93]



The spending for God is the proof of one’s sincerity and devoutness. Once Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) made appeal for funds and great companion Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted the whole content of his house.



After a decline, when reforms starts, opposition grows. If reform is from God, it survives and grows till full correction, otherwise it becomes another chapter of forgotten history. A powerful group of fanatic clergies tried to annihilate peaceful Ahmadiyya reforms in 1934. Then God breathed a scheme in the heart of second Ahmadiyya Khalifah (may Allah be pleased with him). This scheme demanded from faithful to defend and spread true Islam by peaceful struggle.



They were asked to devote full or part of their lives for faith, live simple life, raise mosques and mission houses worldwide, establish human rights, dedicate part of income and property, promote honesty, counter the hate propaganda against Islam, and so on. The Scheme was given the name Tehrik e Jadid [the new movement].....Under this scheme, mosques, hospitals and schools and missionary work is in progress worldwide. The scheme’s 80 th year ended on 31 st of October with collection of British Pound 8,470,800…. Currently the peaceful message is being broadcasted through 10 satellites. All this is volunteer service but well organized effort under Khilafat. This is the real face of true Islam – Faith and service to humanity to give them spiritual and physical life.

Roses not guns!
