It is obvious that man is very weak by nature and on account of his weakness he falls short in carrying out all his tasks and duties successfully. Therefore, it is only the Divine grace and mercy that leads us towards success.

I truly believe that without Allah’s grace and blessings we cannot live and progress in our everyday life. When we turn towards God Almighty with sincerity and firm resolve, God, who is Benevolent and Merciful, help us to carry out our duties properly and successfully. Allah says in the Holy Quran:

“That is Allah’s grace; He bestows it on whom He pleases; and Allah is the Lord of immense grace.” (62:5) “There is none who can repel His grace.” (10:108).

The fact is that no one can attain true success, nor can one truly prosper, until one attains true knowledge and strength through God’s own grace and mercy. And it is only through repeated acts of Divine grace that this door of success and prosperity remains open and is not shut thereafter.

The journey of ID-DAWL that started four years ago and today we are publishing its 50^th edition is a clear sign of Divine grace and blessings. We wholeheartedly believe and have firm faith that this would never have been possible without the blessings of Allah Almighty.

“All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, The Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.” (Holy Quran, 1:2-5)

Undoubtedly, there are numerous favours and kindnesses of Almighty Allah on us that it is impossible to thank Him and show gratitude to Him sufficiently. His benevolences are beyond limits and far from our imaginations. Allah says in the Holy Quran: “And if you try to count the favours of Allah, you will not be able to number them. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:19) MALTESE
