Even in this
materialistic, tumultuous, insecure, discontented, 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 mosques, in shrines, in gatherings, in libraries, and in their own
living rooms as well as their friends', they have illumined the hearts of
others by introducing them to the pure and spiritual writings of this digest.
It is a 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 means of spreading the Paighaam-e-saeed ['auspicious message'] of
the Holy Prophet(saw) and his saintly successors. We, members of the
administration, as well as the readers, are thankful to the honourable leaders
and scholars who are busy in its publication and who mention it from the pulpit
of the prophet(saw) and read passages from it in gatherings held for the sake

law of Allah the Exalted, enable us to establish our rule upon the Earth well
as the heavens.
You are requested to
continue to introduce these spiritual writings more and more. Offer the digest
to the learned people. As for those brothers and sisters and the elderly who
are less educated, read to them the digest yourself. Help Allah's creatures in
their problems and difficulty. For worries, troubles, problems and treatment of
incurable diseases, inform me where I may 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.
