At a time when the general milieu in the subcontinent of India was overwhelmed by the powers
of darkness, and the soundness of Faith was reeling under the potentially threatening squalls and
the blinding forages of superstitions and paganism, Allah the Almighty, by dint of His special
blessing, sent a personality, who, by the strength of his Faith, knowledge and rhetoric, dissipated
the redoubtable forces of depravity and smashed the self-made idols of Shirk (polytheism) and
Bid'ah (innovations in religion) and established the base of pure Tauhid (Islamic Monotheism).
