Before the Day of Judgement, Islam will prevail globally because it fulfills the purpose of Muhammad, the Messenger of God. This triumph is essential to completing the divine mission entrusted to him – to establish the dominance of faith across all of humanity. Until Islam is globally dominant, the ultimate purpose remains unfulfilled. This is a call to action, emphasizing that the work of spreading the message of Tawhid (Oneness of God) is ongoing. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) foretold this prevalence, echoing the sentiment expressed by Iqbal that the source of strength lies within one’s homeland and faith.

Dr. Israr Ahmad explains the importance of performing the movements of prayer (Salat) correctly and with complete attention. He highlights that rushing through the postures – especially transitions between standing, bowing (Ruku), prostration (Sujud), and sitting – constitutes a deficiency in prayer. Complete upright posture after rising from each movement is crucial, ensuring a moment of stillness (Qawmah) before proceeding. This meticulous adherence to the rituals, coupled with appropriate supplications during the sitting position, constitutes a truly accepted prayer.
