The Resurgence of Islam and our Liberation from the Colonial Yoke · Maryam Jameelah

THE MUSLIMS AWAKE!

While the evils of atheism and materialism, supported by all the forces of modern technology, are working day and night to destroy us—spiritually, culturally and politically—rather than hold fast to faith in Allah, unite and combat our real enemies, we foolishly choose to tread the path of an alien civilization, hoping thereby in vain to attain social prestige and the comforts and pleasures of this transitory world in utter forgetfulness of the eternal Life Hereafter and thus totally neglect our duties as Muslims to Allah and our fellow-beings.

This is not the way to “Progress” but can only result in our failure, degeneration and doom, both individually and collectively!

Muslim brothers and sisters! Follow the path of the Ouran and Sunnah, not as a set of dead rituals but as a practical manual of guidance for our conduct in daily life in private and in public, put aside sectarian and political controversies and let us all cooperate and work together in harmony for the cause of Allah in Islamic movements in whichever country you happen to live, do not waste valuable time in useless things and inshallah, Allah shall crown your life with great achievements here and supreme success in the Hereafter.
