In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest brothers Willem, and Hussein, and all of the brothers and sisters of the Toronto Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, and all of our brothers and sisters in all of the other branches of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Connecticut, Vermont, Washington, California, Iowa, England, and Sri Lanka, and in the rest of the world. Thank you very, very much for the invitation to come to Toronto, Canada, this month, to stay with you and the brothers and sisters of the Toronto Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship for a whole week (from Wednesday, February 19 thru Wednesday, February 26), and for your setting up a special meeting for Saturday in Toronto, February 22, 2003, for this visit. Your invitation really melted my heart, and certainly strengthened my resolve to continue living as a slave at the feet of our beloved Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, letting Them conduct the life of this child, not this child, living at the feet of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the gift of God for this age, for the Children of God for this age, which is all of us living in this age. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. That would be wonderful. Thank you again, to spend a whole week with my brothers and sisters from Toronto, sharing the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that is growing within each of our hearts, as the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us). Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Also, thank you for your kind words about the on-line version of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" that this child has been working on, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, for the last 5 years. Helping to providing in this way, an on-line presence for both the "Father's Part of the Library", and the "Children's Part of the Library". It is a true blessing from God for all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) in this age, which is all of us living in this age. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. May God continue to bless us in this way, and open all of our hearts more and more to the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both "inside" and "outside" of us, as well as to the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) both "inside" and "outside" of us, which is just beginning to emerge from within us, from within the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. For as Bawa teaches us on page 105, in Chapter 30, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body", in the beautiful book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Dear, Son, if you wish to differentiate between good and bad and clarify yourself, you should associate with a virtuous Guru, perform His bidding, accept His exhortations, record and preserve them in the book of your heart." "Then the Master Guru will take that tablet of the heart, read it, and advise you further. He will teach you the secret of assembling the body of man with the twenty-eight letters of grace on each spot." "He will show you how to enliven each spot, how to give life to it, how to speak tactfully, how to dismantle the body parts, and how to re-assemble them. In this state, my Son, if your learn the "magic" of dismantling the human body, and re-assembling it, you will witness the Primal One." Like this, may we all begin to realize, understand, accept, and join with this life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is growing within each of our hearts, as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that naturally grows within the heart of each of us, as we correctly sit at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, as we correctly do our duty to our Shaikh within us, and to God within Him. As we learn to join as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, join with Them within us in what They are doing within us, which is revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the dunya or the earth world or the 18,000 universes within us, not what we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, and revealing God within the Creation of True Man within us, which is akhirah or the "hereafter' within us. In this way, accepting the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as the gift within the gift of God for this age, that God has personally and every so lovingly placed within the hearts of all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us). Like the honey bee cross-pollinating all of the flowers, so the Shaikh moves between the hearts of His Children, giving birth to the wisdom and truth of God within us. And it is this that is reflected, all be it, in a very, very small way, in the "Children's Part" of Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. We will start off this Spiritual Letter by first calling on Bawa within us, and on God within Him to come out of our innermost heart within us, which is where They live within us, and come into our mind and desire, which is where we currently live within us, and, "Teach us what we do not know". And we will do this by reciting the "English Version" of the 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that have gradually grown within the heart of this child, while sitting at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and of God within Him. The 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): "O Bawa, O God, You are Allah. "O Bawa, O God, There is nothing other than You." "O Bawa, O God, Without You there is no help, because I do not exist." "O Bawa, O God, You are with me. Be inside my heart." "O Bawa, O God, Do not be separate from me." [Note: to read a brief history of the development of these 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), please click on the following: Spiritual Prayer 02. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] 2. Copy of Invitation to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen "Dear Sheikh Muhaiyaddeen. We hope this will reach you. It would be good if you could come on Wednesday, the 19th of February, and stay for about a week. What do you think? Please let us know how you prefer to travel, by air, bus, or train. Our meetings are Wednesday night, Friday night ( Zikr ), and Sunday morning. For your visit we would arrange a special meeting for Saturday night. We will then arrange a ticket for you. You are doing such good work with your Web Site. We are really looking forward to having you here with us. Anbu, Willem." 3. The Significance - of the Trip to Canada & the Travel Arrangements for Trip Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. We have been handing your invitation to come to Toronto to Bawa, and to God within Him, ever since you called this child, and then sent the above letter to this child, looking for the true significance of the trip to Canada, for this child and for all of us, and the best way to complete this duty. And the following guidance has come from within my prayers from Bawa, and from God within Him. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 4. Strengthening Our Faith To Understand The Final Destruction First, we are all facing a very difficult time in our lives, the final destruction for all of us, and we must all prepare ourselves for that final destruction. And second, this is not something that we can all do alone, and without the love, and support of our brothers and sisters, for we are all still learning about the truth of our lives, about "who we truly are", about "where we truly are", and about "what is truly happening" in our lives, a learning that when completed, will allow us to "endure the cure", that will allow us to truly, as Bawa teaches us, "Let whatever comes, come, and let whatever goes, go." For in the final analysis, this is the only way out of the dilemma that we are all now facing, to let everything that has manifested within us, that has been born within us, disappear and die within us, within our love and prayers to God, before we die, and before we are forced to give it all up, when the world around us, when the illusory world "outside" of us abruptly comes to an end, before we die. In this way, handing us the same problem, the problem of the lives of darkness still living within us but with no place for them to live, with no way for them to be nourished, because our "outside" is gone, either because we have died, or because our "outside" has been prematurely destroyed by the "beast" within all of us, that has prematurely come out of one of us, and destroyed the "outside" for all of us. In this way, causing them, the lives of darkness that we have grown within us, to become "the suffering of our grave", forcing us to face the Angel of Death, the suffering of the grave, and then Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), before wisdom has dawned within us, and after we have died, or after our "outside" is gone, a situation that will eventually lead us to an eternal life of "separation from" God. Such is our current dilemma, such is our fate, our destiny, our karma, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, of a life without wisdom, of a life without a direct connection to our wisdom within us, and to the truth of God within our wisdom, to a life that is not truly being lived at the feet of God for this age, at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, a fate, a destiny, a karma which no amount of "working for wages to get into heaven" will solve or overcome. In this way, Bawa teaches us that instead of focusing on this, instead of doing this kind of "busy work", instead of "working for wages to get into heaven", we must join in partnership with God within us, to complete what God have started within us, which is to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, which we can only do by first joining in partnership with True Man within us, to complete what True Man has started within us, which is to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us. And we can only do this, by first joining as One with our wisdom, and with the truth of God within our wisdom, by first joining with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to give it all up, to give up the world within us, and all of our attachments to the world within us, before we die, so They can pass judgment upon everything within us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed. And in this way, and only in this way, to make all of the lives of darkness that have mistakenly grown within us, that we have allowed to grow within us in our ignorance, to make them all go to Qiyamah now within us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed by the "beast" within one of us, coming out to destroy the "outside" of all of us, which will certainly be encouraged to happen when we do things "outside" of us like "America Invading Iraq". And in this way, and only in this way, will our life truly become successful, if we learn to use God within us, and the "Stuff of God" within us, and not "what God has discarded" within us, which are things like "us" as "separate from" God, to give up the world "outside" of us, before we die, and to give up our attachments to the world "outside" of us, before we die, like our attachments to our friends, to our family, to our possessions, to our children, to our thoughts and understanding, our attachments to each other, and eventually our attachment to ourselves, to our body, and to our mind and desire, to the idea of "ourselves", to the idea of our own existence "separate from" God within us. This is why Bawa teaches us, on page xv, in the "Author's Song" in the book, "Maya Veeram", which is reproduced in its entirely at the end of this letter, "Day by day in this false world, May they realize that money and wealth are external things, And that wife, children, house, and property, Will not join them in the hereafter." My dearest loving brothers and sisters, such is the path of God that we have all been given the opportunity to walk, before we die, and before our "outside" world is prematurely destroyed by the "beast" within one of us, a path that we can only walk at the feet of our Shaikh within us, and of God within Him, coming into the world and into our life, from 1886 to 1986, as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both "inside" and "outside" of us, as the gift of God for our age, for the Children of God for our age, which is all of us living in this age. And now 16 years after the passing of His Holiness, again coming into the world, and into our lives, from 1986 to 2086, as the gift within the gift of God for this age, as the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which is now growing within each of us living in the world today, as the final gift from God. This is why Bawa told us, "At the end of time which is now, God would send One who would again explain everything, everything that had been explained before by God, through His slaves, but this time with no veils." "Everyone would hear it, and everyone would understand it, and the only thing left would be do they want it, do they want a life of "separation from" God, or a life of "Oneness with" God. The choice is ours." May we all know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, without any doubt, and dedicate our life, and all that we are, and all that we have, and know, and say, and all that we do, to this reality of God hidden within the Creation of God within us. And for this age, hidden within the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Before it is too late. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 5. Understanding How Injustice Will Ultimately Destroy Injustice - and how truth and justice will save those with faith in God For as Bawa teaches us on page xiii, in the "Preface to the English Edition", of the book, "Maya Veeram or The Forces of Illusion", which is reproduced in its entirely at the end of this letter. ------------- Beginning of Material From Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) ------------- "On the surface "Maya Veeram" might seem to be a storybook, but if we examine it wisely, we will uncover all its inner secrets. The present, the future, and the possibility of imminent destruction. All these are examined. If we can understand this, strengthen our faith and have absolute certitude that God does exist, we can try to escape from the devastation which those who have no faith in God are heaping upon us. Every human being must strengthen his faith to understand that final destruction, to know how injustice will ultimately destroy injustice, and how Truth and Justice will save those with faith in God. As each person reads this book, he must comprehend its inner meaning. Even though it may appear to be just a story, it is filled with Truth and Meaning. For anyone with the wisdom to read this book correctly, "Maya Veeram" will resemble a prophecy. It will account for the plight of the world today, it will indicate what will happen tomorrow, and if you want to know what will happen next year, it will tell you that too. Those who can read it this way, those who consider it deeply and penetrate the surface, plunging into the many different inner meanings will discover how to escape from the destruction that threatens us. May we reflect on this. May we read this book and learn how to escape from the disaster threatening this world. God alone can protect us all. M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)" ------------- End of Material From Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) -------------- 6. Coming Together To Understand The Final Destruction - let us make this the focus of the "Trip to Toronto by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen", and of our "Saturday meeting in Toronto on February, 22, 2003", our coming together to understand the Final Destruction, the Final Destruction of each of "us" as "separate from" God, revealing within each of "us", "Us" as "One with" God Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. My dearest loving bothers Willem and Hussein, and all of the brothers and sisters of the Toronto Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, and all of the brothers and sisters of the other Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowships, in Philadelphia, in New York, in Boston, in Connecticut, in California, in Iowa, in Vermont, in Washington, in England, in Sri Lanka, and throughout the world, let us make this the focus of the "Trip to Toronto by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen", our coming together to better understand the Final Destruction within each of us, and make this the topic of discussion for the meeting by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen on Saturday, on February 22, 2003, in Toronto, Canada. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Let us make this the focus of our coming together, to understand the Final Destruction, the Final Destruction of each of "us", of "us" as "separate from" God, revealing within each of "us, "Us" as "One with" God. That would be very, very good. 7. Travel Arrangements for the Trip To Toronto - when possible, let us not travel alone, but let us go together Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. My dearest loving bothers Willem and Hussein, and all of the brothers and sisters of the Toronto Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, as well as all of the other branches of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, let us reflect a moment about "who we are". In truth we are One Life, the One life of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the gift of God for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and within that we are the One life of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), as the gift within the gift of God for this age, as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). This is "who we are", not Louie Beutler, or Willem or Hussain, or any other personal reflection of our mind and desire. Instead, we are of God within us, and of the "Stuff of God" within us, we are not of what God has "discarded within us", which is everything we now see, hear, smell, taste, touch, know, say, and do "outside" of us, which in truth is within us, which in truth are the lives of darkness that have grown in our ignorance within us, and that as our fate, our destiny, our karma, are leading us to the Angel of Death (A.S.) within us, to the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment) within us, and to an eternal life of "separation from" God. May we all think about this a little, dearest loving brothers and sisters. It is very, very, important. Instead, in truth we are the "Common Wealth" of God for this age, we are of God, and of the Messenger of God for this age, for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and as such, when possible "we" should never, never travel alone. Instead, "we" must always try to travel together. 8. The Meeting on Saturday, February 22, 2003, in Toronto, Canada - let us all drive up together, to Toronto, as the One True Life of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) that is growing within each of us, as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and start the journey that will again take Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Baghdad, but this time to usher in the final age of man, the age of the "Justice of Conscience" Therefore, this child of your heart, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), is calling upon all of the brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship to come together as One, as the One True Life of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that is growing within each of us, as the One life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us, in order to plan, to put together, and to support and attend the upcoming meeting by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, February 22, 2003. In this way, let us go up to Toronto together, by car, by caravan, like we did with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), when His Holiness originally went to Toronto, but this time as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within each of us, and let this trip to Toronto be but the first of a whole series of monthly meetings by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), about "Understanding the Final Destruction", starting in Canada on February, 22, 2003, and then in each of the following months, in one of the other Branches of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, in Boston, in New York, in Connecticut, in California, in Iowa, in Vermont, in Washington, and finally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. 9. Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Again Goes To Baghdad - but this time as the harbinger of the new and last age of man, the age of the "Justice of Conscience" And then, having brought us all together again in this way, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that is now growing within the heart of each of us in America, let us take our show on the road, to save the world, to save all of our brothers and sisters living in this age in the world, if they will let us, if they will but join with the life and teaching of God for this age, the gift of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and with what is now growing within that gift, which is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Let us next go to England, and Sri Lanka, and then head to Baghdad in Iraq, by way of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. And then from Baghdad in Iraq, to Jerusalem, by way of Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. And then to Mecca, by way of Egypt, and finally, to Medina, by way of Mount Arafat. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Let us all do this now, in order to put in front of the world what God has put in front of us, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), let us all pull all of our resources together to do this, to do this now, before it is too late for any of us. In this way, let us take the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), back to Baghdad in this age, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) went to Baghdad over 1000 years ago, bringing the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God to the world in the last age, ushering in the age of "The Justice of Man". For as Bawa teaches us, "To become successful in your life, both "inside" and "outside" of you, the Justice of God must become the Justice of Kings, which must become the Justice of Man, which must finally become the Justice of Conscience". And in this way, the first journey of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Baghdad, over 1000 years ago, brought to the world the transition from the "Justice of Kings" to the "Justice of Man", ushering in the last 1000 years of what we today call "Democracy", the "Rule of Law", and "Human Rights", which was the true cause behind the birth of America, established by Christopher Columbus in 1492, sailing from Spain in the very same year when the "Last Islamic Mosque" in Spain was recaptured by the Christian Crusaders, and the very same year the large Jewish Community who was protected by the Muslims from the Christians were exiled from Spain by the Christian Crusaders and set sail to Amsterdam. As well as the true cause behind the birth of "Philadelphia", the "city of brother love" established by William Penn, a Quaker fleeing from the Religious Intolerance in England, but awakened forever by the "Justice of Man" that dawned in England from 1000 AD to 1500 AD, that led to our "Declaration of Independence", our "Constitution", and our "Bill of Right". All of which naturally grew out of the journey of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Baghdad over 1000 years ago.

Thank you] Let us now, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), again take Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Baghdad, but this time as ushering in the final age of man, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", when we joined together as One, in partnership with our wisdom, and with the truth of God within our wisdom, as the "Three of Us", as the - Disciple, Shaikh, and God - within the "Three of God" within us, within the Triple Flame of God within us, within - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - within us, allow God and True Man within us to complete what They have started within us, which is to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, and within that, to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us. When we joined in partnership with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, allow Them within us to bring the "darkness of the world" within us to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), now, before we die. For more on these wisdom points, please read the Web Page Version of the forthcoming letter, Spiritual Letter 43, "The World Gives Explanations To Our Wisdom, Not To Us", which among other things, describes the, "Four Places of Great Significance In The World Today," Which are, 1) Jerusalem, in the Middle East 2) Baghdad, in Iraq 3) Sri Lanka (formally Ceylon) 4) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA And as such we must be very, very careful in this age in dealing with each of these places, for how we treat them will determine how soon the "beast" within each of us will come out of "one of us" to destroy the world "outside" for all of us, destroying forever any chance of any of us getting it right before we die. And so far, we are not doing so well, with a battle raging in and around Jerusalem for the last 50 years, and battles now raging in Baghdad for the last 12 years, and a very, very big battle about to begin in Baghdad, if "America Invades Iraq". May God protect us all. Spiritual Letter 43 is about ready to be sent out to all of the brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. It was started by this child on 1/23/03 in response to a beautiful explanation given to this child by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased within Him), and by God within Him, to the following "Quote of the Month", for this month, January, 2003, as provided in the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar", "All the things you see, and the various scenes toward which you direct your gaze - all these spectacles of nature in the dunya, which is the world - have been fashioned by Allahu ta-ala Nayan (1) as your friends and loved one, who will give explanations to your wisdom." Quotation From: The Resonance of Allah: Resplendent Explanations Arising from the Nur, Allah's Wisdom of Grace.

Copy of "Preface to the English Edition" - from the book, "Maya Veeram", by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) "On the surface "Maya Veeram" might seem to be a storybook, but if we examine it wisely, we will uncover all its inner secrets. The present, the future, and the possibility of imminent destruction. All these are examined. If we can understand this, strengthen our faith and have absolute certitude that God does exist, we can try to escape from the devastation which those who have no faith in God are heaping upon us. Every human being must strengthen his faith to understand that final destruction, to know how injustice will ultimately destroy injustice, and how Truth and Justice will save those with faith in God.

It will account for the plight of the world today, it will indicate what will happen tomorrow, and if you want to know what will happen next year, it will tell you that too. Those who can read it this way, those who consider it deeply and penetrate the surface, plunging into the many different inner meanings will discover how to escape from the destruction that threatens us. May we reflect on this. May we read this book and learn how to escape from the disaster threatening this world. God alone can protect us all. M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)"
