“In short, the real purpose of man is to aspire to the excellences of ‘those upon whom Allah has bestowed his blessings,’ and to which Allah the Exalted has alluded in the following:
صِرَاطَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ
“The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings.
“Our community ought to pay special attention in this regard, for in establishing this community, the very desire of Allah the Exalted is to prepare a community like the one assembled by the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, so that in the latter days, this community may serve as a testament to the truthfulness and greatness of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.”
