Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the true nature of revolution as exemplified by the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He emphasizes that genuine change doesn’t come through mere promises or superficial reforms, but through a comprehensive process of spiritual purification (tazkiya), organization, and unwavering commitment to establishing justice. He explains that this involves a disciplined, morally upright society prepared to challenge oppressive systems and establish a just order, guided by divine principles. He highlights the historical attempts at reform and the necessity of a strong, dedicated leadership committed to implementing Islamic principles in all aspects of life.

The text details the historical origins of sectarian division between Shia and Sunni Muslims, attributing it to Abdullah Ibn Saba, a figure who emerged during the early Islamic period. Ibn Saba is accused of falsely claiming divine status for Hazrat Ali, sparking discord and ultimately laying the foundation for the Shia-Sunni split. He presented himself to Hazrat Ali and his followers, proclaiming him God, and even offered to be burned alive as a test of faith, a claim Hazrat Ali rejected and threatened with punishment. The text asserts this event is the root cause of the ongoing division.

Iqbal observed that if Nietzsche had lived in a time where he could have been guided, Iqbal would have explained the concept of *maqam-e-qabriya* (the station of the grave). The text posits that rebellion, transgression, injustice, and oppression originate within humanity, leading to the violation of others' rights and a sense of impunity. This unchecked behavior escalates into wrongdoing, exploitation, and unlawful gain. The ultimate remedy, as highlighted, is returning to God, emphasizing that while justice may be delayed, it is inevitable.
