Translator’s Note
The present
booklet consists of the English translation of a highly significant paper, entitled "The Objective and Goal of Muhammad’s Prophethood (SAW), in the light of the Holy Qur’an". This
was originally presented by Dr. Israr Ahmad, Ameer of
Tanzeem-e-Islami and the Founder-President of the Markazi Anjuman Khuddam-ul-Qur’an
Lahore, in the fifth session of the second annual “Qur’an Conference” held on March
26, 1975, at Jinnah Hall, Lahore. It was later published in two issues of the monthly
Meesaq, and then, along with another related paper, as an Urdu booklet. The present
English translation has already appeared in the quarterly journal The Qur’anic Horizons, and now it is being presented in the form of a booklet.
The significance
of this treatise lies in the fact that it delineates, in a clear, cogent, and lucid
manner, the Divinely ordained target or aim of the strenuous struggle carried out
by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his devoted Companions. It is of utmost
importance for all those groups and movements which are endeavouring for the revival
and domination of Islam to realize the importance of this struggle in the overall
system of Islamic thought, as well as the theoretical relationship of this struggle
with the fundamental Islamic beliefs in the unity of God, the Prophethood, and the
Hereafter.
At the same
time, this paper also demonstrates the relevance of the
dynamic concept of Islam, as compared
to the narrow and static outlook
which has come to dominate the
Islamic world during the last few centuries.
Moreover, various theosophical
issues relating to the dynamics
of qulb, nafs, and ruh have
also been dealt with in the light
of the Qur’anic teachings.
