Abstract   

On 29 September 1899 in Dar-es-Salaam, Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah said to the jamât when He was speaking about the origin of Adam:

“There are so many of you who know nothing about your own faith. When you are free, you should think about this: Who is the Creator? What is the Creation? Have you ever thought about these things? What would you reply if you were asked who you are? You will reply that:—“I am my father’s son”. At most, you might be able to trace (your genealogy) back a few generations. Someone more intelligent will name Adam (as his ancestor) and that is it (i.e. he won’t be able to proceed any further). Ask yourselves: WHERE DID ADAM COME FROM ? WHO SENT ADAM ? ”
