Not even a lamp could be found in the Masjid. The then Islamic world did not boast a single finely structured building.Even the Masajids were bare, simple and modest. Until the Ummah retained its capacity to harmonise, a few thousand individuals were nt over the entire world. Now the situation we have before us is that the Ummah has lost its strength of unity.
They have struggled relentlessly to break the Ummah, that it may disband helplessly. Their enemies, have spared no pains in forcing craks into the wall of the Ummah. The blessed Prophet peace be upon him and his loyal companions encountered difficulty after difficulty to see the formation of this Ummah. Be negligent, and you will be an open invitation to ruin.This Ummah has been prepared only through tremendous sacrifices. Listen attentively,and act accordingly, Allah will make you honourable. Nevertheless, i feel it necessary that i address you today. My night was spent restless and sleepless. It also presents to them a sample of his oratory skills and the essence of his message to the Ummah:įirstly, i must inform you that my health is not very satisfactory. Although an effort has been made to include as much of the essential contents of the speech as possible, time and space do not allow for all the relevant points to be covered, Nonetheless the aim of the translation is to provide readers with an insight into the thought of Maulana Yusuf and his deep dedication to Islam. Others, who knew him more closely and were aware of his remarkable qualities and services to Islam, were devastated.Because of its grave importance, this speech has been translated and reproduced below. Even those who were only slightly familiar with him were shocked and grieved by the loss. Three days later the world received the sudden unexpected news that Maulana Yusuf had passed away. He expressed with feeling and pain his mounting concern over continued hostilities amongst Muslims.Tragically, it was to be his last public address. In it he discussed many important issues regarding the unity of the Ummah. It was given after Fajr salaah in an area of Lahore known as Raiwand.
On the morning of 30th march 1965 Hadhrat Ji Maulana Yusuf sahib Kandhalvi delivered a speech.
