In the book The Final Journey, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that Prophet Muhammad was given the responsibility of calling people to the Truth. He gathered the inhabitants of Makkah near the hill of Safa and said to them that they would die in the same way as they slept, and that they would be brought back to life in the same way as they woke up from sleep. After that, there would be either eternal Heaven or eternal Hell. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 4770)
Everything is happening in this world of God, except for one thing that God desires the most—making people aware of that impending, terrifying Final Day—The Day of Resurrection. If people do not stand up for this work, then the Angel Israfil’s trumpet, announcing this Final Day will call them. But that will be an announcement of their destruction, not an alarm for them to wake up!
Our work at the Centre for Peace and Spirituality is to carry on with this mission of the Prophet of Islam, of making man aware of the Creation Plan of God and the inevitable final day, so that he may prepare for ‘The Final Journey’.
