The title of this post, is taken from a great work of one of our ummah's contemporary leading lights - Sh Abu`l Hasan Ali Nadwi (rh). He departed from this world on January 7, 2000.
As the aphorism goes - 'the ink of a scholar is more precious than the blood of a martyr.'
The author of this essay has written a precious piece, indeed. It originally appeared in a special section of Issue 8 titled "Reflecting on September 11th. Copyright vests in Sacred Web Publishing and Reza Shah-Kazemi.
Still not convinced? Then digest this gem:
"When we think how few men of real religion there are, how small the number of defenders and champions of the truth—when one sees ignorant persons imagining that the principle of Islam is hardness, severity, extravagance and barbarity—it is time to repeat these words: Patience is beautiful, and God is the source of all succour. (Sabr jamîl, wa’Llâhu’l-musta‘ân—Qur’an, XII: 18)" - The Emir Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza’iri
