Conquest of the Moon and the Apollo Mission
Extract from “Spiritualism and Magnetism”
English book from Shaykh-ul-Islam Pr. Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri
The necessity of a spiritual connection can also be evaluated by examining an incident that took place in National Aeronautic Space Agency (NASA). The ten year Apollo mission of NASA probe Apolo-10 was heading towards the Moon. The scientists working in Kennedy Space Center Florida, were busy guiding the mission. During the proceedings, the mission’s link with the Control Room on Earth got disconnected accidentally. The mission not only failed to reach its destination but also was doomed in space. After this accident, the Apollo Mission’s next probe Apolo-11 was sent to the Moon. Its contact with the Ground Control Center remained intact; it reached the moon and returned to the Earth safely as per program after achieving the objectives of the mission. The Apollo that lost contact with the Space Research Center was ruined; the one that stayed in contact with the center conquered its mission.
Analogously, Allah has devised a system of goading and guidance to take the believers to the goal of emancipation. The central control of this emancipation mission rests with the Holy Prophet (A). Those who succeed in keeping the contact with the center intact receive the alms of his love and the charity of his care and compassion. The one who loses contact is doomed, just like Apolo-10.
