طلوع اسلام

ثبات زندگی ایمان محکم سے ہے دنیا میںکہ المانی سے بھی پائندہ تر نکلا ہے تورانی

English translation

Stability of life in this world is bestowed by firm Faith; the Turanian has proved even longer lasting than the German.*
* Reference to the continuation of war by the Turks against Greeks after the formal termination of World War I. As the Greeks were fighting on the strength of British support this was really a war against the British, who were a world power at that time.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
