Calling People Unto Allah by Dr. Israr Ahmed
We Muslims are the member of an Ummah (Islamic community) whose sole purpose of existence and the aim of installation, according to the Qur’an, is none other than calling people to Allah. As such, in this terrestrial existence not only our dignity and honor depends on realizing this collective aim, but our very existence as a religious community also depends on executing this duty in the right earnest. In Surah Al-Baqarah, along with the order for the change of Qibla, the following verse was revealed: “And thus have We made you an exalted (middle) nation (Ummah), that you may be the bearers of witness against the people and (that) the Messenger of Allah may be the bearer of witness against you.” (2:143)
