"Not a moment of peace; perpetual war-like conflict! The
manufacturer
employs science, owns inventions, and collects money from the merchant
class; the merchant delivers them to the masses and the powers that be,
and collects gold. The powers that be dominate, oppress, wrest,
appropriate, exploit, rule the masses and gather gold. The end of life
seems to be nothing but gold. In the history of mankind this is a
famous, glorious, golden age, not godly, but God-forsaken; or rather
forsaking God. Man has displaced God, and has taken God's law in his own
hands. Man is on trial."
Inayat Ullah Khan Al-Mashriqi
