Introduction – as-Siraajan Munir (The light spreading lamp)
It is now more than ever that humankind is in need of guidance form the darkness to the light, as Allah has stated in the Quran; min a-dhulamaati ila nur (from darkness to light).
O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of Glad Tidings, and Warner,-and as one who invites to Allah's (grace) by His leave, and as a lamp spreading light (Siraajan-Munir) . [TMQ 33:46]
Allah has described Rasool-Allah (sallallahu alaihi wassallam) as a lamp spreading light, Sirajan Munir. Rasool-Allah (sallallahu alaihi wassallam) changed the Arabian Peninsula through the light of Islam. The responsibility of restoring that light on the earth today lays with the us Muslims. Humankind is crying out for guidance from the dark. It is our duty and responsibility to offer this call to humankind. The starting point for us is to first understand the life of Rasool-Allah (sallallahu alaihi wassallam) and see how he brought about changing a people steeped in iniquity into a people that changed the course of world history.
Allah has promised, to those among you who have believed and worked righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the earth, inheritance of power, as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their Deen, the one He has chosen for them and that He will change their state of fear in which they lived to one of security and peace." [TM 24: 55]
