The effort to eliminate evils and encourage virtues is the essential
action that guarantees the foundation of our existence. Any lapse in this
endeavor results solely in devastation and ruin. Allah, the Almighty, states in
the Qur'an:
Translation: "You are the best nation raised for the benefit of
mankind. You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in
Allah." (Aal-Imran
110)
Simultaneously, it is necessary to reflect on whether, in our
exhortations to others to avoid misguidance and warning them of its harmful
consequences, we, either knowingly or unknowingly, might be treading the same
misguided path. Allah, the Almighty, points out this inconsistency with the
following:
" Do you enjoin righteousness upon others while forgetting
yourselves?" (Al-Baqarah 44)
And:
"Why do you speak that which you do not practice?" (As-Saff 2)
The call to invite others to the path of Allah will only be effective
when we ourselves exemplify this invitation, and our relationship with Allah
mirrors the profound connection a true devotee holds with their Lord. Allah,
the Almighty, has shown the way to establish this connection through the
example of the Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H):
Translation: "O you who are wrapped in garments, stand [in prayer] during the
night, except for a little - half of it, or a little less, or a little more,
and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation. Indeed, We will cast upon you a
weighty word."
(Al-Muzzammil 1-5)
The term Qiyam (standing in prayer) refers to the devotee’s
commitment to establishing a profound bond with their Lord, such that every
action of their life becomes intrinsically linked to the Divine and they
achieve true recognition of Allah.
Once the devotee establishes this genuine connection with the Divine,
they transcend sorrow and fear, becoming an embodiment of serenity and peace.
Thus, when they speak or call others towards goodness, those who possess
conscience and blessed souls will respond to their call.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
