In the Early Hours - Reflections on Spiritual and Self development - Khurram Murad - Bog

'Let us live for Allah. Let us love what He loves and like what He likes; let us dislike what He dislikes and hate what He hates. Let there be no territories carved up and no frontiers set up in serving Him. Let us passionately involve ourselves in our society to do His will, but still passionately let our hearts yearn for His pleasure. Similarly, let the life of the Prophet live again in our lives. Let his Message, his conduct, his goals, be our Message, our conduct and our goals. So, also, let nothing motivate us but an intense longing to please our Lord in the Next World, and let that expectation give a decisive shape to our life here. The hope of a meaningful future must lead us to confront the risks and overcome the tribulations that lie in living by His will in the totality of our existence. We, as Muslims, have but one option: to strive to change the world according to the model given to mankind by the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be on him.' - Ustadh Khurram Murad (1932-1996)
