THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

GOD HAS DECREED: “I AND MY MESSENGERS WILL WIN.”Continued from page 1 THE WHOLE IDEAMillions of people claim that they believe in God. They utter their belief due to numerous factors, such as social pressure. The majority of the confessed believers are not really believers (6:115; 12:103 & 106; 23:86; 29:61). “Do the people think they will be left to say, ‘We believe’ without being put to the test?” 29:2.

Thus God will effect His formidable test to sift away the disbelievers and distinguish the true believers. The true believers will remain on God’s path to the very end; they will not, by God’s grace, drop out. We know from the Qur’an that messengers were never popular. Every single messenger was severely persecuted; many of them were killed. |
WHY WOULD ANYONE DECLARE HIMSELF “A MESSENGER OF GOD”? During the last ten years, I have received hundreds of threats against my life. I went to many places to lecture, or to debate with fanatic opponents, knowing that I will be killed. I am honored almost daily by verbal and written abuse. WHY WOULD ANYONE DECLARE HIMSELF “A MESSENGER OF GOD”? Ask yourself. |
MESSENGER OF GOD You shall know the way as if born to it. You see through to the truth to guide us, Bless the messenger and his work. God made you for Him.
|
I have given My assurances to My servants the messengers: They will surely be victorious; My soldiers will surely be the winners. (37:171-173). |
|
Blest are those persecuted for holiness’ sake; the reign of God is theirs. Blest are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of slander against you because of me. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven; they persecuted the prophets before you in the very same way. (Matthew 5:10-

WHEN YOU WERE A FETUS IN YOUR MOTHER’S WOMB.

WHY NOT WOMEN MESSENGERS?Men have a rough time listening to and obeying another man, even when they do accept him as God’s messenger. Can you imagine a person with a man’s ego receiving instructions from a woman messenger? |
