6 p.m. My brother was on his way home from office. >From the overhead bridge at the railway station, he saw a train coming on to the platform. He hurried to catch it. But, in the rush hour, the man in front came in his way, and he missed the train. He boarded the next.

But he couldn't reach the destination station. He had to get down at a station in between, as the train, he had missed, was standing immobile on the same track, just ahead. The terrorists had bombed one of its first class compartments!

My brother saw the poor hutment dwellers, around the station, busy carrying the injured to nearby hospitals. They didn't mind using blankets and bed-sheets, from their own poor huts, to carry the injured; there were no stretchers available. And the elite, in their fine clothes, watched the poor carry some of their own fraternity from the bombed first class compartment of the train ahead. And the elite just cursed. They cursed the terrorists, the government and the railway authorities!

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
