The Quran states that this world will flourish through the blessing of *tawheed* (oneness of God).

The completion of the illumination of *tawheed* and the fulfillment of its purpose remain ongoing tasks. This lecture emphasizes the enduring relevance of this message and the continuing need to strive for its realization.
