A Complete Mission

Moulānā Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi (Dāmat Barakātuhum)

This world has seen countless famous personalities: scientists, generals and philosophers that have left their mark on the world. However, one thing is common in all these people. Newton was a great scientist who made countless discoveries, but he at last died as all mankind must. People have said and written that Newton could have achieved more wonders if only he had lived longer. People have written that Alexander the Great would have conquered the whole world had he lived longer than he did. It has even been written that Hadrat Imam Bukhari + would have compiled many more books had he lived longer.

The common trend here is that all these great personalities would and could have achieved much more than they actually did had they lived longer. In sharp contrast to all these people is only one personality in all of creation who completed his mission and purpose in this life and stands out as a shining beacon from all these people. This fascinating personality is Rasūlullāh ewho announced in his final sermon, “O people, I have completed the purpose for which I had been sent.” Hence, only Rasūlullāh’s elife is seen as complete and all others as incomplete.

 

No one else shares in this honour of having lived a complete life, and this is a concrete point against which the anti-Islam debaters have no reply.m
