Dear brothers chief and members of Islami Jamiat Talba (Islamic Organization of Students) in Pakistan (may Allah protect them) Assalamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)
I praise Allah, Who none has the right to be worshipped but Him, and I ask Him (Glorified and Exalted be He) to make your deeds a means to make the word of Allah supreme, support His Religion, sustain His Shari`ah (Islamic law) and follow the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet), which guarantees honor in this world and happiness in the Hereafter. The only way out for the tired humanity is to follow the way of the great Messenger and honorable Prophet (peace be upon him). Undoubtedly, such a conference held by Muslim youth will yield good results In sha'aAllah (if Allah wills) if they hold it for the Sake of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) and exert their sincere efforts. If students the future leaders are guided rightly to Islam and brought up to adopt the morals which the Messenger of Allah drew for Muslims, they will be the cause of happiness of their Ummah (nation based on one creed). They will be able to drive it to the best approaches to spare it the woes of destructive ideologies and aberrant creeds that undermine nations and kill people.
Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) endowed Muslims with this great religion that encompasses the greatest approaches, best systems, and fairest laws. Allah guarantees to guide whoever applies His Shari`ah to Al Siratu lMustaqim (the Straight Path). In this regard, Allah says: As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allâh's religion Islâmic Monotheism). And verily, Allâh is with the Muhsinûn (good doers).
He (Glorified be He) points out that Islam is the cause of the life of hearts and nations; it is a spirit that gives life to souls and a light that guides Muslims. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men ? like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out?
And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ) Ruh (a Revelation, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur'ân) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allâh's Religion of Islâmic Monotheism).
People have adopted new devious creeds which distressed people, destroyed lives, bankrupted souls and ruined their adherents. In contradiction to this, the Shari`ah of Islam provided, hundreds of years ago, effective treatment for all humanity ailments. It is still the greatest bond that gathers all Muslims, regardless of their homelands, colors and languages. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim, without differentiating between generations, tribes or languages. A Muslim can taste the sweetness of Islam only when he becomes with his Muslim brother like a wall of bricks supporting each other. Therefore, Islam provided the firmest basics for establishing the ideal society.
We hope Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) will guide your work to raise the banner of Islam high and make His Word supreme. May Allah grant you the ability to understand, stick, and call to His religion and avoid deviating from it! He is AllHearer and Ever Near.
Assalamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
