O Rasool. We have bestowed unbounded blessings upon you in the form of Quran, which is the fountainhead of all good in the world. It is full of knowledge, truth, wisdom and insight which as the time passes, shall continue manifesting themselves. No shortage shall ever occur in this abundant benevolence (13:35;14:24-25).
Now it is incumbent on you to propagate its teachings and spread this mission far and wide. Therefore remain busy in fulfilling your programme and discharge to the best of your ability your duties for establishing the Nizam-e-Rabubiyyat. Have full command and control over them, utilizing knowledge, intellect, experience and observation; and along with this make arrangements for the subsistence of your companions6.
Presently your Jamaat is somewhat weak and the opponents are very strong. But you will ultimately see that the people who oppose you today will be completely obliterated; and that this system which is the fountain-head of all goodness, will survive and be strengthened further.
6 ‘Nehr’ means slaughtering camels. This was considered by Arabs to be the best meal. There is one more aspect in this. Camel was forbidden in the Jewish religion. Jews were well established in Madina. They thought that Muslims migrating from Makkah were weak and would thus be subservient to them. Muslims, on the other hand, were told at the outset that they did not have to be afraid of Jews. The slaughtering of camels would thus be a defiant indication of your lifestyle, inspite of the Jews and showing them that you cannot change your way for them. The ‘truth’ can never compromise with ‘falsehood”.
