The age-old dream of the human caravan is not to send astronauts in their orbit in outer space.. it is to send its individuals - every single individual in his orbit of self-realization. It is high time that this dream be thus reinterpreted. It is also the sacred duty of every man and woman to help intelligently reorientate human endeavour towards the culmination of this pilgrimage.

Dedication

To the honorable Sudanese people:
Today, your caravan is led by guides who have strayed from the truth and led others astray.
Do not believe everything you hear.
Let the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to Abdullah ibn Umar guide you:
"[Adhere to] Your religion! Your religion! O son of Umar! Do not let what I did for your parents deceive you. Take from those who are upright, not from those who merely speak."
