Extract from 7 Pireces of Advice to Muslims in Britain by Sh Akram Nadwi: Strengthen your position I have been meaning to convey and accentuate this message to you as I do not know whether I will be able visit you again in the future. You gathered here with love and affection and therefore it was easy for me to convey. As a student of religion it would have been convenient for me to recommend the virtues of reciting various Dhiikr or prescribe certain Wazifahs but you may not have had an opportunity of listening to the message I have just conveyed from anyone else. Please strengthen your position in this country. Earn your recognition. Do not be like a straw or crop that is uprooted by a mere breeze. You should be so firm that not even a hurricane is able to displace you. Display such noble character that you attract the hearts of the people. See then how these people will stand up to defend you. If there is the slightest hostility towards you, they will be the first ones to argue on your behalf and argue what a blessing you are for them. May Almighty Allah grant us the ability to understand what is right; may He bless and protect you. Aameen.
