1. For An Ultimate Change:

The words of Al-Quran are timeless and each verse carries a message, which often perfectly fits into prevailing time. Allah SWT has always been sending HIS chosen men, so whenever we deviate, they give us direction towards the straight path.

2. Surah Al-Muminun verse no. 45:

“Then We sent Musa and his brother Haroon with Our signs and a clear authority” (23/45).

3. The Onus is More on People with Authority:

There are always a few, who are blessed with power & authority, because their words become law, and the masses are compelled to abide by rules & regulations passed by them. Hence, it is vital that such laws must be justly formulated for people and not to unfairly take advantage by men vested with authority.

4. Surah Al-Muminun verse no. 46:

“To Firawn (Pharaoh) and his courtiers, but they boasted and they were a people already possessed with dominance” (23/46).

5. Don’t Believe in People, but in Laws based on Justice:

Earlier also the tyrant denied men, who had the courage to raise their voice against cruelty.

6. Surah Al-Muminun verse no. 47:

“Then they said, 'shall we believe in two men like ourselves while their people are serving to us” (23/47).

7. It’s Only a Matter of Time:

Only truth will prevail and falsehood will disappear. Therefore, we should not support and / or keep a blind eye towards falsehood to protect our worldly interests.

8. Surah Al-Muminun verse no. 48:

“Then they belied both of them they were then of those who were destroyed” (23/48).

9. Sole Guidance is Message of Allah SWT:

With a view to take guidance, we must refer everything to Book of Allah. If it says yes, we must adopt it and it says no, then we must reject it without thinking that it may jeopardize worldly gains.

10. Surah Al-Muminun verse no. 49:

“And undoubtedly, We gave Musa the Book that they might be guided” (23/49).
