Foreword

On the invitation of Anjuman Mazharul Haq, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan travelled to Jammu and Kashmir on June 29, 1989. During this visit, the Maulana delivered lectures at a number of places. The most important of these speeches was given at Tagore Hall, Kashmir’s largest auditorium, on June 30, 1989. The present booklet is a translation of this speech in which the Maulana provides his reflections on many important subjects. Among them are the Islamic position on welfare of humanity, the historical role played by Islam that ushered in scientific progress, prophetic wisdom of patience and avoidance, the need of reassessment for present Muslims and their duty of living as giver members in this country.
