and fearful age devoid of spiritual values, such pure souls exist in whose
hearts is alight the mission of Allah and His
prophets(saw). May Allah's mercy be on those who have taken Roohani
Digest ['Spiritual Digest; name of publication'] It om home to home in order to
spread the teachings of the Prophet(saw) who was mercy for all the worlds. In

result of your sincere efforts, sacrifice and passion for the religion of Allah
that within the short period of a few years your Roohani Digest has become I he

Prophet(saw) and his saintly successors. We, members of the administration, as

be needed. By the grace of Allah we will all be triumphant as we stand in the
blessed shade of the benevolent and merciful Prophet, may Allah’s peace and
blessings be upon him.
