The Call
Muhammad's heart was restless about the
moral evils and idolatry that were rampant among his people. The Arab society
of his time was torn by dissentions, fratricidal wars and inter-feuds. In other
parts of the world the state of affairs was no better. Christianity and Judaism,
the chief moral forces of the world, were torn by bitter strife and conflict.
The mighty empire of Rome, whose seat had been, three centuries before, moved
from the banks of the Tiber to the shores of the Bosphorus, was sinking into
decrepitude. The rival empire of Persia had also lost the vigour of its earlier
time. Humanity was, in fact, passing through hard times. Sensitive men everywhere
were peering into the turmoil of this turbulent human scene in search of some
light through which the future of their race might be divined. They had been
eagerly looking forward to a new Master-Word to control this life. The world
needed a new formula to heal its divisions and to liberate humanity from its
worship of false gods and to build ordered peace on earth.

| Something to Ask... | O Allah!
I ask You by every name that You have, that You have called Yourself by, that You have taught any of Your Creation, that You have revealed in Your Book, or that You may have kept secret with Yourself.
Make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my breast, the dispeller of my sorrows, the eraser of my anxieties and worries. |
