I have a dream: That’s the scene of world at peace

The Truth Message – Part – 7.3:

I have A hope A wish A dream: That’s the scene of world at peace

I want to know… Do you agree with me?

The paradox of our time is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;

Wider freeways but narrower viewpoints;

We spend more but have less. We buy more but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses but smaller families: More conveniences but less time.

We have more degrees but less knowledge: More medicines but less wellness.

We have more experts, yet more problems.

We smile too little, laugh too little, hug too little, read too little, and pray… O a very little.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.

We talk too much and listen too little. We love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life, but not life to our years.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but crossing the street to meet the neighbor is a thought unconceivable!

We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space.

We’ve done larger things, but not better things; cleaned up the air but polluted our souls.

We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have more food, but less nutrition.

We communicate more but connect so less! These are days of fancier houses, but broken homes.

We write more, but learn less.

Oh! We’ve read all of this a thousand times, isn’t it?

Did you ever care to understand it though? And did you ever try going the other way around?

Most of us will admit that the biggest disease of our age is the feeling of being lonely, unwanted, unloved, uncared for and forgotten: This is the greatest hunger, the greatest poverty that the world is suffering from… even the rich individuals are not spared. Factually speaking the world of many is cursed of loneliness today. People have become very unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered.

The new generation treats the old people like a disease, something to get rid of! They have no respect or love for them: if not, why are old-age homes here today? Can’t we care for them like they did when we were young & helpless? Are we not wise enough to know that this can be repeated with us too? We really don’t care, Oh! Do we?

Love of money is the root of much of the evil around. Peace is become rare and rare and might soon become extinct if we don’t stop now, at least now.

If we have no peace of mind today, it is because we have forgotten that we all belong to each other. The concept of Universal Brotherhood must be established. And, it is time we change our manners … Let us meet each other always with smile, for the smile is the beginning of every bond. Care not if you know the person or not and no matter what religion or race or country he belongs to. Smile to the children, the old, the disabled and the poor – they need it more.

Half of the world population is in distress today: Poverty, hunger, joblessness, illiteracy and many other diseases have plagued the people today. Income inequality is worse now than it was during slavery. Isn’t this an opportunity to you?

A person is not a true believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. (Bukhari and Muslim)

God wouldn’t need a second if he wished to exchange your current lavish status of life with a beggar OR the one in the refugee camp where you are the one with expectations: Hungry with no money / possessing absolutely nothing, living a purely pathetic life in a completely helpless situation!

My dear: If you have a brain enough to understand the above use your wisdom: Do something to help others… think of ways you can help the poor, the destitute, the needy, the diseased and the old: Apply the solution before you call it ‘too late’.

Do your bit and you’ll know what real peace is, what real happiness is! You will rediscover the meaning of your life! If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one. Let us not be satisfied with just giving money – Money is not enough and it can never replace love, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever leave you without becoming happier.

And yeah, stop that habit of judging people or categorizing them, for if you do so you will never find reasons to love them. See, it’s actually very simple, every body of us have some specialties in us and a few faults – there is not one individual in the whole world who would claim to be perfectly good, isn’t it? God made each of us different in our own way. So why don’t we love people for the good they have in them – they will surely do the same with you then.

Learn to see good in people and then your life will be lovely.

Everybody of us is a little good, a little bad… What you need to focus on is the GOOD in you, and you need to think of making the best of it. Add more colorful feathers in your personality and make life beautiful, of yourself and of others.

More than everything else patience is one thing that you’ll need much – without patience you will learn less in life; you will see less, you will feel less; you will hear less: Technically, you will never succeed in terms of living a life well.

Not all of us can do great things, I know, but yes each of us can do small things in our own great ways, can’t we? …and who knows that might be counted amongst the greatest things ever done. Start small today and you never know what might come next.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow might never come. You have only today. So begin today.

Men of today often link possession of immense wealth to pleasure, however, contrarily it mostly proves to be a curse: Wondering why? More often than not it distracts him from spending time in worshiping the lord… reason for which he was created.

I think…

Living a satisfied life would happen when we’re living with the basic requirements with limited engagements & activities: We’ll get ample time to worship the lord here: This can be called as a peaceful life.

A life where we have wealth more than required will only make us want more, do more, expect more and that will leave us with an immeasurable measure of restlessness causing anxiety and as expected will keep us engaged with multiple activities, thus leaving us to live a life full of worries for various reasons and no peace.

A soul created with the sole reason to worship the LORD will never find ever-lasting pleasure in anything other than that for which it was created, but men mostly confuse worship with waste-of-time and use all times persuing pleasure which last temporarily thus making man to go and look for more sources, however, there’s no single activity of life other than connecting with the lord that gives man ever-lasting pleasure… the sooner man understands it, the better.

By the fleeting Time. Surely, man is in a state of loss Except those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to accept truth, and exhort one another to be steadfast. (Ch.103:Vs.1-4)

True pleasure, lasting pleasure, true satisfaction and contentment can only be had by establishing one’s relationship with one’s Creator. That is what we humans were created for! Just read these sentences and you’ll know:

I have created jinn and men so that they should worship me. (Qur’an 51: 57).

In today’s world we find so much strife, restlessness and disorder: Today society has lost direction: Man has lost his bearings. He has lost the purpose of his creation. So why God should be interested any more in saving man when he is not serving the purpose of his creation? Everything is created for a certain purpose and according to the Holy Quran man was created to be introduced to his Lord, to know Him, to worship him and to develop a direct conscious contact with Him. This is what the Holy Quran tells us – to pursue that end, to reach one’s Lord as soon as possible and to remain with Him, to live with Him, to feel His nearness, and so on. The Holy Quran tells us that here lies our real contentment, this is the true and everlasting pleasure that we need to pursue.

On the whole: The only way of improving a society is by bringing that society closer to God because God belongs to all people of every colour, shade and hue. So those who belong to Allah have compassion for all men. Don’t discriminate between white and black, between Western and Eastern, rich and poor, etc. because they belong to God. So the only way to cultivate humanity is to turn to God.

This is my message to you – do it now as soon as possible! I see humanity already a losing the battle but let us not give up. Let us not lose hope, because it is not for man to lose hope as long as one can pray, as long as Allah can listen to us with mercy, we cannot lose hope at all, but things are in a very bad shape right now, to say the least.

We, who are members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, try our utmost to save the world and humanity from destruction. This is because in this era, we have accepted the Imam of the Age, who was sent by Allah as the Promised Messiah, and came as a servant to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who himself was sent as a Mercy for all of Mankind. It is because we follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) that we feel extreme pain and anguish in our hearts at the state of the world. It is that pain which drives us in our efforts to try and save humanity from destruction and suffering. Therefore, I and all other Ahmadi Muslims are striving to fulfill our responsibilities towards achieving peace in the world with sincere love for humanity.

This love for humanity which was introduced by the teachings of the Holy Prophet (saw) is been re-introduced by his Messiah Hadhrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian. He was sent to end all forms of religious warfare and to establish the respect, dignity and honour of every Founder and every Prophet of every religion. He was sent to draw attention towards attaining the highest standards of moral values and to establish peace, love, compassion and brotherhood and to unite the world under one final religion of the One-God.

Time is running out, and before it is too late we must all pay great heed and attention to the needs of the time.

Prayer can move mountains… and we know Our Lord is Ar-Rahman, and Ar-Raheem… Now it’s all our choice to go on with what we choose for ourselves and the coming generations.

Sometimes you’ve got to think about more than your own safety: Sometimes you’ve got to think about the greater good!

Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (ra), Khalifatul Masih IV cautioned against the dark, social tendencies of so-called modern man, and warned of the severe calamity which might await him if, in his delusions of grandeur, he continues to violate the limits prescribed by his Maker. He went on to beautifully summarize the main purpose of life of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, and our determination to fulfill our purpose:

“We affirm that we have been brought into being to set the time right and rescue humanity from ruin and destruction. We claim that if the world will listen to us and will sincerely accept that to which we invite it, the dangers that threaten it would be averted. We have been raised for the purpose of pointing out the way by treading along which humanity can safeguard itself against the terrifying end that threatens it and this world can become a region of peace, security, comfort, joys and delights.

We desire intensely that we may be blessed with success in this effort and we are determined that we shall be ready and prepared to sacrifice our all in this struggle, and even if we are put an end to in the course of it we would deem it a great good fortune for ourselves.” (A Message of Hope, part 1, The Review of Religions, January 2005 Edition, pp.25-26)

In the whole history of religion no people are known to have benefited so much by the warning of impending Divine punishment as did the people of the Prophet Jonah (as).

When they were warned that they would be visited with punishment if they did not behave and believe in Jonah and did not mend their ways, they at once repented and believed in him with the result that the threatened punishment was averted. This repentance of the people of Jonah so pleased God that they were not only forgiven, but their case is held up in the Qur’an as an example for disbelievers of all Prophets of God (Ch.10:V.99) [Copied from Islam Ahmadiyyat – The Means of Safety and Salvation, The Review of Religions – September 2010]

Love for humanity is the mark of being human.

We all are humans but it will not do to call yourself human if you ignore other’s sufferings and enjoy your life.

Don’t forget – your attitude will decide your future life here and the life of the Hereafter… therefore send some good ahead for yourself. And always remember, it will not take a second for God to invert your life and conditions.

The above was all what I wanted to say, now let’s see what the Holy Qur’an and the Messiah of our time think about it…

Be Human, please.

The Holy Qur’an has urged the believers that you should always be concerned and try to do your utmost in performing good deeds and making progress in your worship, in good works, and progress in fulfilling the rights of others. So, Allah does not merely expect us to safeguard ourselves from evil and do good works but has instructed that we should vie with each other in the doing of good deeds. It is as if you are racing with each other in doing good.

A good deed, may it be the size of a Mustard seed, will be accounted on the Day of Judgment and you will be rewarded for it in this life and hereafter… give it a try and you’ll find my statement true.

When you are engaged in trying to overtake each other in this race, then your standards will be of a very high level.

Now see what a lovely teaching Allah has given us through which we have been shown the way for our religious and material and national progress. In fact, it is the key to success and if we act upon it, we can bring about a radical change within ourselves.

Therefore, everybody of us should make the goal of his life to conform to the commandments of Allah which says:

…Vie then with one another in good works… (Ch.2:V.149)

Then, in accordance with the promises of Allah, you would be worthy of reaping the rewards and blessings of Allah.

Vying with each other for amassing wealth had made you oblivious. Even when you reached the graveyards!

Nay! You will soon come to now. Nay again! You will soon come to know. Nay, were you to know the certain knowledge, You will surely see Hell in this very life’. (Ch.102:Vs.2-9)

…And help one another in righteousness and piety; but help not one another in sin and transgression… (Ch.5:V.3)

You are the best people raised for the good of mankind; you enjoin what is good and forbid evil… (Ch.3:V.111)

And speak to men kindly. (Ch.2:V.84)

Let not one people deride another people, who may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, who may be better than they. And defame not your own people, nor call one another by nicknames. (Ch.49:V.12)

Avoid most of suspicions; for suspicion in some cases is a sin. And spy not, nor back-bite one another……And fear Allah, surely, Allah is Oft- Returning with compassion and is Merciful. (Ch.49:V.13)

And remember! Cleanliness is part of faith and is your next priority; And I don’t mean you have only clean your house and be content, No! This planet was given to us to live and it now becomes our personal responsibility to keep it clean. So make sure your hand helps cleaning, not littering around.

Make it a habit to smile at people you know and you don’t know. A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the sign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile; Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

If you ask me, humanity is pure commonsense but as scholars say: commonsense is the rarest sense: Perhaps they are right; as far as religion is concerned commonsense is seldom considered.

Today we all must join hands to worship the One Lord and follow the guidelines set down by his prophets & books… O it isn’t really hard…. Just sounds so!

We must think as a Global citizen; do not think in terms of caste, creed, country, etc. after all we all belong to the one same family of Adam, aren’t we? So help others as much possible and try to make sure all (at least) around you are happy. Love the poor, serve the needy and build a huge ‘Goodwill bank account’ – Majorly this will decide your eternal life – the life of the Hereafter.

Life has become a race today – a race to be the richest, the best, the famous, the greatest…

Wish all of us had a competition in becoming the best of being a human: Being the most humble, the most helpful, the most caring, the best of friend, the kind, the compassionate, the loved, the patient… the best among the whole lot of good.

Well we can, can’t we?

I’m not asking you to sacrifice yourself entirely for others, just asking you to be a human, that’s all. Every single day presents you with innumerable opportunities to be all of the above – you just need to identify them, grab them, use them, and make the most of them… strive to become the best of yourself.

There’s lot of love in every one of us… in each & every women & in each & every man upon this earth… & we can share it all with everybody we meet by being kind, patient, encouraging, caring & helping each other… It’s the means of attaining eternal pleasure, earns you love of your lord so easily. You do not have to donate millions to please God… He only looks for small acts of kindness from you… He knows what’s in your heart.

It’s not at all hard and trust me: All of the above will boost your good-will bank account and that is the only ‘One thing’ that you will be carrying to the hereafter. Nothing from your riches, lands, wealth, property, jewelry, etc will go with you when you die. Only the soul goes carrying all the records of Good and Bad you did in your life, and that will decide your hereafter.

O ye who believe! Fear Allah; and let every soul look to what it sends forth for the morrow. And fear Allah; verily Allah is Well-Aware of what you do. (Ch.59:V.19)

Come people! Let’s stand together, stand united – the whole of us, the whole of Humanity and pledge to stand against every kind of violence and never ever do anything which would promote hatred or mistrust in any community, religion or nation… No matter what religion we follow or what nationality we hold. Let everybody show real love and respect to each other notwithstanding the other’s religion, sect, caste, region and nationality. This is only humanity. Let’s try to be human.

Let love be our first religion and peace our first responsibility: Let’s come together and change the world, yes we can! …are you with me?

===================================================================================

I think in a multi-religious country, as India, should restrict the use of loud-speakers to certain minutes only. Let me explain my point:

Say there’s a place where 33% of the population is Muslims, another 33% are Hindus and the rest 34% are either Buddhists, or Jains, or Sikhs… this scene suits well for India, rather very perfectly. Now if these Muslims use loud-speakers which reach beyond their gathering ranges, which they usually do, they are sending no good or positive message to their regional-friends – On the contrary they are irritating others with something that they cannot even understand. Muslim prayers are usually in Arabic of which, you’ll agree, no other religion will have any understanding… even if these Muslims are praying for the well-being of those Hindus, all that those Hindus hear is some loud irritating noise which is cancelling out their peace completely. Neither can they concentrate on their daily activities, nor can their Children read, nor can they sleep if this is going on all night and worse, if there’s any sick person around – it’s hell time for him. Same goes for Hindus if they are celebrating any of their many festivals with loud Music or Bands or Drums…

So you see, both of the above examples are disturbing the peace of that particular place, and believe me when I say, the other will go further a mile than the other in competition when his turn comes thus making the living a Hell for everybody around. And if, by any bad chance, the festival dates of both religions coincide then… huh

Is this what our religion teaches that we disturb everybody?

Can a Muslim say that Islam teaches disturbance?

Can a Hindu accept that Vedas & the Holy Bhagwad Gita preach how to create trouble?

I believe NO, for both. No real divine religion can teach anything but peace in a society and values of good behavior towards everybody. So isn’t it just plain that we must abandon ways which go against our own teachings? Isn’t it time that we behave as guided by our scriptures? Should we practice our religion at the cost of peace of others? Can’t we follow our religious practices without disturbing others? What do you think?

See people, we are humans, we are educated and we claim to be civilized… is this all what we learned then?

And I think if common men are not good enough to decide for themselves, the governments must make rules with strict surveillance.

“Nobody is to suffer because of the other” – that’s my point.

And I could refer many examples from any religious book which teaches this.

This is only humanity people; religion was supposed to teach you that but somehow it’s all going only wrong.

Love For Motherland comes next after love for Humanity

‘It is our duty to be loyal to the government under which God has made us subjects’. (Tabligh Rasalat)

Sometimes sectarian forces gain strength and make all efforts to raise any contentious issue on the basis of religion so as to communalize the atmosphere, and experience tells us that politics is usually behind all of these. Politicians reap political benefits out of fooling innocent masses and cause immense harm to a nation’s heritage and people, while they themselves are not hurt even in the least bit. The seeds of hatred are sown in this way, the walls of discord are further elevated this way between different religions so that they are raised higher and higher by the innocent masses that follow them; the politicians are only there to enjoy the benefits. I call upon these innocent masses to lend an ear to the advice by Chief of Prophets, His Holiness, Prophet Mohammad (saw) and his ardent follower and servant, The Promised Prophet Ahmad (as).

‘Love for motherland is part of faith’, Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw) And do not create disorder on earth. (Alfazl Jan 1st. 1922)

This is an open secret that harmony is such a thing that those calamities which can’t be removed by any means and those difficulties which can’t be solved by any planning can get solved by harmony and spirits of sacrifice & patience. Thus it is inconceivable for a sane person to keep himself deprived of the blessings of harmony.

—

Nations fight on political terms… yet it’s always only the common-man or, to be more specific, the poor people who are made to pay for all decisions made whilst the decision makers live a life of leisure! I do not want to comment on anybody in particular or a particular nation… its happening everywhere, especially near war-zones, tribal areas and other disputed locations.

I hate the term refugee! It depresses me so much that I cannot explain… Have you ever been a refugee? Have you ever seen a refugee? Did you ever try knowing their problems, their living conditions? Their felings?

And war-crimes? It stands perhaps the best example to prove how common people suffer under the wrong judgments of our politicians. I do not have the courage to detail them here; I shall only name the types of tortures for your information: Throats are cut mercilessly, women are raped in the most brutal manner, captives are burnt alive, children are slaughtered in the most inhumane manner, strangulation is considered fun and beheading is fashion! Mass execution is celebrated and horrible tortures and psychological damages to the peaceful populace is enjoyed!

War-crimes also include vivisection, amputations and cannibalism. Use of Chemical weapons is common and burying alive is something to be celebrated.

Beating savagely and intentionally turning into invalids, branded by the red-hot cross, pulling out of nails and teeth and sprinkling of wounds with salt or beat to death by the rubber and iron bludgeons or pouring of benzene in veins or cauterization of the bodies with the different burning-hot things, hammering nails into head are few of the methods applied to torture innocent people! Their barbarities have no limits! A few other forms also include shot eyes, cut breast, teeth pulled out by pliers, shot genitals…

In one sentence: Willful violation of human rights is practiced and prisoners are subjected to the most savage and sophisticated tortures. Search yourself to know all details if you are courageous enough!

Most of us are aware of these being done to our own kind of creation, to humans who are exactly like us in all terms, but, is there anybody who would spare a second to think about them? …to consider their helplessness? …to go out and talk about them? …to take action?

You could say: Oh! Who are we to care for them and why should we? Isn’t it?

We did not make it happen and Oh dear, we do not have time for such things! And the final word is: we will not care about them…!

This is our attitude right now… lets accept it

There’s no point pretending, people!

Most of us are so busy in our routine lives that we do not have a second to spare and think about others, oh! Our lives are already so hectic, aren’t they? We have wife to please, and children to be taken care of; deadlines in office and a cruise trip for vacation… there’s so much to think and there’s so much to do. And there are so many other things too… Why should we care if people or tortured to death or how should it matter to us if other women are cruelly raped or if children and people not belonging to our blood are barbarically killed… it doesn’t matter us at all, does it?! Oh! So why should we care then?

Pathetic is the condition… extremely pathetic, indeed!

No, I’m not talking about those victims… No, no, I’m talking about us, about you and I. Because we pretend to be human and choose to ignore all the wrongs going on in our own society with our own kind of people, right around us!

What has become of this world? Why have we become so selfish?

Why have humans become so cunning, so cruel? Why did we choose to lose our humanity? What did we gain?

We all are humans, aren’t we? If yes, then where’s our humanity – the most important quality of our being a human?

I know, few of us care and some of us talk about it, but most of us choose to remain silent.

People! Our silence is senseless, immoral! Please talk about it, discuss it and let’s come together and end it. I cannot do it alone, nor can you. Our might is in our unity… come, lets join hands irrespective of all barriers and pledge to be human from now on… that’s our first responsibility and our first religion.

This world doesn’t need rich people with poor hearts but only humans with rich hearts!
This world doesn’t need more men with great qualities of leadership but just few humans with their humanity.

And it is not what we have: It is what we give.
Everybody of us can become a Messiah by helping the old, the poor & the needy. They need us & we need them, don’t we belong to them? We are, after all, a part of the same family – the human family, aren’t we?
Following the true teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, are constantly striving for a world blessed with peace, and full of happy & satisfied faces. Won’t you join us?

—

It is imperative that every nation acts to end the fighting, and open all crossings, especially I urge the powerful nations to come forward at this time of need and set an example for future generations to follow.

But each of us, in our own small realm, can be the ones who greet the world with open arms. We can be the ones who demonstrate that peace resides ultimately not in the hands of governments but in the hands of the people. And we can teach our children that in our interdependent world, we have to be able to depend on one another.

In a shrinking world, we cannot afford to ration our compassion.

More than ever, our fates are intertwined — and our friendship must know no boundaries.

The power of WE has a message of hope in a world too often divided between “us” and “them.” Let us work together to extend that community of purpose to all our peoples

“We are the ones we have been waiting for.” – Yes we are! And this has never been more true or relevant than in our present day. We are also an amazing collection of inspired, connected, enlightened people – the globe over, but why do we continue to witness huge wrong and find it so hard to stand up and act?

Addressing the challenges of humanity we face takes a tough stomach, stubbornness, willingness to lose some battles, and the ability to get up for another round. And I can’t help but ask: Are we really putting up a fight? Or are we performing a mere dance? Are we truly kicking up a storm to attract undivided attention to a challenge so that we work relentlessly towards fixing it? Do we have true revolutionary blood pumping in our veins to fight with the fury and weapons of intellect, morality and genuine goodness of heart? My questions are sincere, coz as I sit here and type, I really don’t know.

In today’s time-stealing world, we just don’t seem to let space in. And on a planet that is obsessed with rules, we’ve forgotten how to think. And in times driven by formulae, we’ve neglected to remind ourselves that humanity by nature copes with disorder. Fear is what holds us back!

We live in a time that requires us to raise the bar of public debate: To get up and act. To hold ourselves accountable for humanity’s mess we face today. To put ourselves in harms way so that we sincerely hand over to our kids the better world they deserve, because we do know better, and, to oust the business of fear in its entirety.

No one should deny that we are all connected…part of one world, with differences, yes, but with many more commonalities. We need to become part of the solution instead of allowing certain entities to continue to sell the fear and hatred that is being literally shoved down our throats!! To see this world as belong to all not just to the hate-mongers that grip this society!

We all have the same hopes and needs, the same dreams for our children. It is time to open our eyes instead of shutting them in fear and anguish!

As human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. We have the independent will to make our own choices and decisions, and the responsibility to make the right choices. Only you have the freedom to choose path of life which will choose for you your fate…

Opening your mind and heart to new possibilities, new alternatives, new options is really required here.

I want to make use of this Real Time World Wide Web for Real World Change

Because I am convinced that we are all much more alike than we are different… that the experiences that shape us, no matter where we grow up, bring out the same very human responses — of tears and laughter, fear and courage, uncertainty and enlightenment.

Wonder what it’s like to have a peaceful life?!

Let’s Imagine… I love to imagine & I imagine a lot of things.

Come join me: Let’s imagine a scene of world peace.

Masha’Allah! Everybody looks so blessed. All faces dark & fair are so happy, beaming, beautiful…; everything looks so serene, so peaceful, as far as the eye can see… No sign of sorrow, grief, or pain. Oh! Everything is so heavenly & so wonderful!

That’s the scene of world at peace.

How wonderful it would be if we make a heaven of this world, oh, I just wish!

Please make it so my lord: It’s my wish, my desire, my dream, my aim, my goal.

And my best wishes and my prayers are with all of you.

May you get all that is good for you and may you define new heights of successes & May you reach too closer a position before your lord on the Judgment day, may you be specially blessed.

Establishment of world peace certainly is the most vital and pressing issue facing the world today. This establishment can only be done through just and equal relations between nations. The truth is that peace and justice are inseparable – you cannot have one without the other. And certainly this principle is something that all wise and intelligent people understand. Leaving aside those people who are determined to create disorder in the world, no one can ever claim that in any society, country or even the entire world, that there can be disorder or a lack of peace, where justice and fair dealing exists.

Nevertheless, we find that in many parts of the world disorder and a lack of peace are prevalent. Yet, in general, there is little doubt that restlessness and anxiety is increasing in the world and so disorder is spreading. This clearly proves that somewhere along the line, the requirements of justice are not being fulfilled. Therefore there is an urgent need to try and end inequality, wherever and whenever it exists. Remember, where injustice occurs there can never be peace.

And it is also made clear [in Islam] that all people should be granted equal rights without any discrimination or prejudice. This is the key and golden principle that lays the foundation for harmony between different groups and nations and for the establishment of peace.

In short, if we desire peace to be established in the world, then we must leave aside our personal and national interests for the greater good and instead we must establish mutual relations that are based entirely on justice. Otherwise, as all of you are also aware, that due to the many alliances and blocs that exist, it is not unlikely that disorder will continue to increase in the world, which will ultimately lead to huge destruction. The effects of such devastation and warfare will surely last for many generations.

It’s your turn now… Now you have to decide… Not in a year, not in a month, not in a week, not in a day, not in an hour… You have to decide now!

Lord is waiting to hear your decision…

you have all power to design your future life, the life of your family, the society & the next generation. Each of us can change this world into a more beautiful & lovely place. And if we all come together & support each other & love & respect each other overcoming all roadblocks of nationality, religion, sectarianism, regionalism & think only in terms of humanism, we can, yes WE CAN change this world, our life & hereafter. All your riches & name & fame & awards & honors of this world cannot help u in the hereafter, only your humanity will count, nothing else.

So people – decide now – choose your way & make it known

As Queen Rania al Abdullah said:

The major failure that’s happening is the inability or refusal to distinguish or make the distinction between extremists and moderates. Mutual suspicion exists between almost all religions – this suspicion, intolerance, prejudices and mistrust are driving us apart… So it is very important for us to focus on some constructive debate. This debate today is dominated by radicals everywhere who want to preach hatred and spread fear among people or worse still it’s used by some demagogues for personal profits and so now there’s a very fragile hope left of success towards peace, unity and on the whole humanity. So what’s really important now is to make the debate dominated by well-informed people who really care about humanity.

It’s not Muslims against Christians Or Muslims against Hindus Or Jews against Christians

It’s not East against West…!

It is extremists on all sides against moderates of all sides.

This should actually be the platform then we can get rid of the evils of the society – we have to keep praying and trying and trying until we get a solution to this issue.

Our God has never discriminated between one people and another. This is illustrated by the fact that all the potentials and capabilities which have been granted to the Aryans have also been granted to the races inhabiting Arabia, Persia, Syria, China, Japan, Europe and America. The earth created by God provides a common floor for all people alike, and His sun and moon and many stars are a source of radiance and provide many other benefits to all alike. Likewise, all peoples benefit from the elements created by Him, such as air, water, fire and earth, and similarly from other products created by Him like grain, fruit, and healing agents, etc. These attributes of God teach us the lesson that we, too, should behave magnanimously and kindly towards our fellow human beings and should not be petty of heart and illiberal.

We are all humans, isn’t it? We may belong to different countries, or cultures or religions… We may be black or white in color… We may be tall or short… We may be thin or fat… but we are all humans, humans who are all similar in making… all our hearts speak the same language.. the voice of the heart needs no translations.. we have the same emotions of love.. the way we feel is exactly the same whatever we look like, wherever we live, however we pray… We all are humans beings… we all smile, we cry and we laugh.. we all share the same feelings of loosing loved ones… Language of smile and tear is same everywhere. Love is the only universal language shared commonly by all humans, high and low, educated and illiterate, rich and poor… So let’s fill our hearts with love of our Lord, love for all humans, and love for humanity… let’s make the atmosphere lovely and all peaceful

The Problem: Suspicion, intolerance, and mistrust are driving us apart.

The Solution: It is time we break down the barriers by dialogue…

“No Peace without dialogue among religions.” …absolutely true.

Peace in society is a two-way process and can only be established if all parties work together towards mutual reconciliation.

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open. We must set aside our own personal desires and instead be concerned for the future existence and well-being of our next generations. We must adopt selflessness rather than selfishness. When we all join together and come to respect each other’s feelings and sentiments then and only then will an atmosphere of mutual love develop. Fight against evil of all kinds and fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated… It is then that we will truly see the beautiful society that all peaceful people desire.

Invitation to the world population of Humans:

A’ouzo billahi min-aash-shaitan-ir-rajeem… Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

(I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed… In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful.)

I am only trying to make a better world in which we could live a happier life.

I want people of all religions to read and understand their books, so that they know the truth and they don’t just follow what their elders copied from their ancestors. I want all chiefs of all religions to study their religion then come to meet each other and discuss and compare all the facts peacefully – this will really help and make matters easy.

The constant changing of concepts by many of whom do not seem to have followed any original teaching have unfortunately rendered all religions in being far below the standard we would expect to see it. However, these problems are now to be rectified.

The treasure trove of spiritual knowledge amassed by our ancestors must be guarded, replenished and polished clean: A balance, then, between old and new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation is to be achieved.

Old good habits should be retained, whereas others, illogical, outworn and senseless customs must be abandoned. Let us move forward, then, into a new era of openness, effectiveness and accountability, intent on preserving what ought to be preserved, perfecting what needs to be perfected, and pruning wherever we find practices that ought to be prohibited.

Working together can change lives, this world.

I was thinking…Why don’t we all have a BBC Style “World Have Your Say programme”?

Dear Critics of Islam,
Peace be upon you and the Mercy and Blessings of Allah

With this issue, I invite you to discuss the criticisms you levy against the peaceful religion of Islam.

I also invite others who think that they are better off without religion.

I invite all world faiths and religions and even atheists. Every Jew upon this planet is invited to join in this discussion. I invite all Christian priests, highly knowledgeable church fathers and every single Christian man & woman and pope, if he can honor us with his presence to this, and politicians & professors and people: I invite every single Muslim Mufti, Maulana: No matter from which sect he/she belongs; I wish to invite Every single wise Jain & Buddhist: All monks are invited too: Please allow us the joy of listening to your peaceful words of faith; Every single Arya, and Brahmin and all Hindu Pandits & commoner is invited; Every single Sikh and every single Parsi, and everybody belonging to Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto faith… everybody is invited… Please do come.

Every member of the Bábi & Bahá’í Faith;

Every member of the Catholic, Protestant, Gnostic sects, Mandaeans and Sabians are invited;

Shia, Sunni, Sufi, even all Wahabbi’s are invited: Just please don’t get your arms while you come;

Pagan and every old religion; Humanism and every other modern religion persons are also invited;

Every Left-hand path, Fictional, Parody or mock religious followers are also invited;

Every single person from all the seven continents and from all countries are invited: Please come.

First, let us all gather in one of gardens in Srinagar, Kashmir, India for the first meeting on the first of December 2017: Let us one-by-one come up with our religious thoughts and opinions about God, prophets, books & beliefs and share. Let this world of faith listen to every faith & every belief and then we can compare the similarities. Then we can run into the next phase of sorting out our differences and their reasons and finally coming to the third and last segment which will help us settle ourselves to the one which is the best of all religions. Best part of this discussion would be that truth will be out and everybody will be made aware of the mistakes they’ve been committing unintentionally.

Christians will most definitely want to confirm facts upon their beliefs…

Is Jesus the son of God or he himself is the Lord? Is he dead or alive? And we can also bring out to light the truth about the concepts of Atonement, Trinity, Ascension, etc.

Similarly Muslims will be able to hear the wrongs they had been taught and they’ll be able to finally differentiate between the right and the wrong.

Both the above and every other religion can then spend some of their thoughts to think if Hadrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the Promised Messiah or Not? Each can match their scriptures and confirm from it and then can recommend others some fruitful action.

I welcome everybody to engage in this conversation.

—

I’ve said enough, haven’t I? I know I talk a lot… forgive me, please.

Let me conclude in the words of the Promised Messiah

“Be kind and merciful to humanity, for all are His (God’s) creatures: do not oppress them with your tongue, or hands, or in any other way.

Always work for the good of mankind.

Never use abusive language for anyone even though he abuse you.

 Be humble in spirit, kind and gentle, forgiving, and sympathetic towards all and wishing them well, so that you should be accepted by your lord…. you should serve the poor.’(Kashti Nuh – Quoted from Our Teachings, pp.2-3 by the promised prophet)”

The Promised Messiah (as) says: ‘A religion which does not inculcate universal compassion is no religion at all. Similarly, a human being without the faculty of compassion is no human at all. (A Message of Peace, pp. 7-8)

‘O my friends, hold fast to this principle:

The moment we are in the company of others, our principle desire should be to please the company. Treat every person gently; gentle behaviour enhances wisdom and tolerance and develops deep thought. Follow this method and you will have peace.

Look after your neighbour and show sympathy to him to an extent that if you are cooking, increase the broth so that you can share it with your neighbour.

Show compassion to all people and do not harm them with your speech, or hand, or with any trickery. Continue to endeavour for the welfare of all creatures; display no pride over anyone even if he be your subordinate. Do not swear at anyone, even if he swears at you; become humble, forbearing, well-meaning and kind to people so that you are acceptable to God. Being superior, show compassion to your juniors, not contempt; being knowledgeable, admonish the ignorant, and do not humiliate them with self-conceit; being rich, serve the poor and do not show pride with vanity; be fearful of the paths leading to ruin.’

You should never think of harming anyone belonging to any religion, any nation or any group. Become a genuine well-wisher for everyone. No troublesome, wicked or immoral man should ever have access to your gatherings. Counsel such or expel such, if you have any.

In your gatherings there should never be a vocation of impiety, ridicule, jest and derision. Walk the land with pious heart, pure nature and pure motives. Remember that every mischief is not worth confronting. Therefore, it is vital that you cultivate a habit of pardon and forgiveness; exercise patience and forbearance and do not attack anyone unjustly; keep your passions and emotions under check. If you hold a debate or religious discussion, you should speak gentle words and conduct yourself in good manners. If one displays ignorance, bid farewell and immediately leave such a gathering.’

‘Sympathy is the best asset of mankind. Man’s humanity demands it and he remains a human only as long as he treats his brother with politeness, civility and kindness and makes no discrimination.’

‘Remember that, in my opinion, the sphere of sympathy is extremely vast. One should never leave out any people or any individual. Unlike the ignorant men today, I do not want to say that you restrict your sympathy to your group alone. No, I say that you should show sympathy to all the creation of God, be he a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew or anyone else. Remember that Allah likes goodness the most and He desires that we should be kind to His creation.

It is important that to sustain the atmosphere of love and unity infinitely everybody should respect all religions, religious founders, books and places. This principle is extremely good and peace bearing and it lays foundations of the process of reconciliations and furthers moral condition that we should believe in the truth of all prophets and whose respect and glory was established by God in the hearts of crores and their followers. This is the principle which Quran has taught us.

All of you should remember that you should be kind to everyone, no matter to which religion the other belongs and do good unto everyone without differentiation because this is the teaching of the Holy Qur’an.You should be recognised by your deeds and your moral behaviour.

These are the things and conditions which I have been stating from the very beginning. For sustenance of peace all of these become obligatory for every citizen of this world that they should act upon all of this admonition.

Let us not deceive ourselves by saying these things are little things. Train yourselves to give a lot of everything for the sake of God. We have to be living examples of those who experience God daily. God has so ordained it Himself that He must be sought through experience of Him and not through arguments about Him. Unless we experience it constantly at every moment by being in His presence, all our other efforts will be without result.

Well, those were the words of the Promised Messiah (as) and his expectations from us: This is basically the advice which he gave to his people, Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya, but undeniably suits to all Mankind.

Ahmadi Muslims live by a code of peace epitomized by the community’s motto “Love for All, Hatred for None”. From their origins they inculcated the meaning of Jihad as striving to free oneself of impurities for the pleasure of God. They have condemned all violence in the strongest possible terms, and have nurtured a spirit of allegiance to the country in which they reside.

Every Ahmadi Muslim, in accordance to the pursuance of the lofty teachings of the Holy Quran, the holy prophet (saw) and the Messiah & Mahdi, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) should sincerely and humbly endeavor to practice and propagate these basic teaching of love of mankind.

—

‘You all are equal. All men, to whichever tribe or nation they belong, and whatever their place in society, are equal. No one can claim any right or any superiority over others. So, every distinction or privilege, whether pertaining to color, race or caste to family lineage, rank or wealth, is abolished in Islam. Islam makes all mankind into one great family, and exhorts us all to win the pleasure of God through righteousness and good conduct towards each other. And in the houses of worship there will be no special place reserved for the powerful. All must stand together, shoulder to shoulder, in their prayer to God.’ [Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)]

… truly righteous is he who believes in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets, and spends his money for love of Him, on the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and those who ask for charity, and for ransoming the captives; and who observes Prayer and pays the Zakat; and those who fulfill their promise when they have made one, and the patient in poverty and afflictions and the steadfast in time of war; it is these who have proved truthful and it is these who are truly God-fearing. [The Holy Quran Ch.2: V.178]

Worship Allah (God) and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, orphans, the needy and to the neighbour who is a kinsman and the neighbour who is a stranger and the companion by your side and the wayfarer and those whom your right hand possesses. Surely, Allah loves not the arrogant and the boastful. (The Holy Quran Ch.4:V.37)

—

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah. He is One and has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Prophet and Messenger.

I solemnly pledge that I shall always be ready to sacrifice my life, wealth, time and children for the sake of my faith in Islam Ahmadiyya, Insha’Allah.

May Allah enable all of us to act upon the admonition of the Promised Prophet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as). May he enable us in the true sense to become the worshippers of Rahman (Gracious) God. Each one of us at all times should be ready to serve mankind. May Allah so destine, and may He make the whole world to realise the importance of human life so that an atmosphere of peace, tranquillity and brotherliness may prevail in the world. Ameen.

Let Allah bestow peace to this world. Today people are becoming blood-thirsty of their own brethren in nationality or religion… May Allah remove this brutality by His grace and let Him enable the entire world to be changed with lofty human values so that despite differences we all live with peace and develop love and respect for each other. Ameen

May the world recognise Allah (the One God) and His Prophet (Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa, peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and His true and ardent devotee (Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, pbuh) and may this be a source of establishment of Tawheed (Oneness of God). Ameen

May God inculcate this thing in the heart of all people that no true religion teaches hatred and violence towards the other, rather it stands as a sign of being a true religion that teaches love and affection towards mankind. Always remember that he who never loves the creatures can never love the Creator.

Finally I pray that May Allah be with each one of us. May he reward us with his bounties and make this life easy for us. May he grant us patience at the time of difficulties and remove our worries and grief and deliver us from all tribulations and fulfill our desires, may He be our protector here and, after the end of this journey of life, raise us on the Day of Resurrection among the righteous. Ameen

May Allah continue to send His blessing to us and to our progeny also and may Allah make all of us inherit all the prayers which the Promised Messiah (as) had said for his followers. May Allah enable all of you to spread the peaceful teachings of Islam Ahmadiyya throughout the world, which were brought down to us by oru beloved Holy Prophet (saw).

May Allah’s grace and Mercy always be with us. May God accept these prayers of mine and bestow blessings plentifully upon all of us, all mankind… Aameen.

O People! Your soul is your most prized possession. Preserve it well. It is actually the only thing you take forward with you to the hereafter.

And it will be designed all by YOUR doings here. Here you have one chance to make something out of yourself, only you give it the final color and shape and only you decide its future in the Hereafter. You have all power to pre-define its destiny… You have choices to make. It is time you choose between what is right and what is easy. I would only say, Keep your soul clean & pure and improve its spiritual levels so that you are given a higher place in the Hereafter.

O ye who believe! Fear Allah; and let every soul look to what it sends forth for the morrow. And fear Allah; verily Allah is Well-Aware of what you do. (Ch.59:V.19)

God says, “From the earth We created you, into it shall We return you, and from it We shall raise you a second time.”

In the meantime, tell me guys, what can we do to prepare?

Remember: “Only goodness will count in the hereafter.”

Tell me: When your phone needs recharging to work, when your vehicle needs petrol/diesel/gas to run… when your own body needs food to keep you alive, then why did you think that your soul needs nothing? Why do you keep it hungry? Your soul needs spirituality, feed it.

Always remember! Your body shall die but your soul is to live forever. C’mon! Connect your soul to the spiritual being – with your lord now.

Connect to the LORD through prayer. And when you pray, do not pray like the hypocrites, for they love to pray only to be seen by men OR do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Always start your prayer praising the lord (for his favours, beauty, being), then count your blessings and thank him for everything you have, then go on with you wishes and desires. Remember to pray for the poor, the old, and the diseased and the needy while you pray for your own health and happiness.

Say I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except God and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Prophet and Messenger
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And as John Wesley said―

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

Righteous in the eyes of Allah: You surely would want to know this…

I must embrace and pursue righteousness because God loves righteousness and it is a means of approach to Him. I must discard and shun evil for God loves not evil and it would pull me farther away from Him.

Now you must be thinking: Who does God love? Let’s look into the Holy Qur’an, come:

God loves those who are mindful of their obligations (Ch.9:V.5,8)
God loves the benevolent (Ch.2:V.196; Ch.3:V.135)
God loves those who do their duty to the utmost. (Ch.3:V.149)

God loves those who turn to Him often and loves those who are clean and pure. (Ch.2:V.223)

God loves the steadfast. (Ch.3:V.147)
God loves those who put their trust in Him… (Ch.3:V.160-1)

The truth is that whoso fulfils his pledge and is mindful of his duty to God is righteous, and God loves the righteous. (Ch.3:V.77)

God will prepare a way out of his difficulties for him who is mindful of his duty to God, and will provide for him whence he expects not. God is sufficient for him who puts his trust in Him. God is sure to attain His purpose. (Ch.65:V.5)

God will remove the ills of him who is mindful of his duty to God, and will enlarge his reward. (Ch.65:V.6)

O ye who believe! Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. Be mindful of your duty to God; surely, God is aware of all that you do. (Chapter 5, Verse 9)

[Ch.6: V33] And the life of the world is nothing but a sport and a pastime. And surely the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Will you not then understand?

[54:55] Verily, the righteous will be in the midst of Gardens and streams,

the perfect scripture that guides man to attain the highest ranks, righteousness and the highest degree of God-consciousness, as it says: … It is a guidance for the righteous. (Ch.2:V.3)

Surely, Allah loves those who are righteous. (Ch.9:V.4)

Allah is the Friend of the righteous. (Ch.45:V.20)

[16:129] Verily, ALLAH is with those who are righteous and those who do good.

And as the Holy Qur’an says, “O’ mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and we have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you know one another. Verily the most honourable among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. (Ch 49.Vr 14)

It is of course true that one cannot attain true knowledge until God grants it, and it cannot benefit anyone except through God’s grace. This knowledge then opens the door of seeking and recognizing the truth.

Divine grace purifies and illuminates knowledge, removes the intervening veils and cleanses the Nafs-e-Ammarah of all its impurities. It bestows strength and life upon the soul and releases the baser self from the prison of sin and purges it of its evil passions. Also, this grace salvages one from the flood of carnal passions and a kind of transformation takes place in man and he develops a natural aversion for sin.

The very first urge felt by the soul, through God’s grace, is called du‘a [supplication].

The God to Whom I invite is very Gracious, Merciful, Modest, True, and Faithful. He bestows His mercy on the humble ones. You too should be faithful and pray with all sincerity and faith so that He may bestow His mercy on you. Dissociate yourselves from the commotion of the world and do not give religious complexion to your egoistic disputes. God will show miracles to those who supplicate and those who ask will be blessed with extraordinary grace. Prayer comes from God and to Him it returns.

Through prayer God becomes as close to you as your very life.

The first blessing of prayer is that it brings about a holy change in a person, as a consequence of which

God also brings about a transformation in His attributes you know and you do not know of.

He shows a new manifestation of Himself in an altogether different light: These are what are known as miracles.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah-e-Wabarakatuhu

(Peace be on you and the mercy and blessings of Allah)

‘Love for all, Hatred for None’

‘… I do not say to you: ‘I possess the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen; nor do I say to you: ‘I am an angel; I follow only that which is revealed to me….’

‘… so whoever follows guidance, follows it for the good of his own soul; and as to him who goes astray, say, I’m am only a warner’.

‘ … I am not a guardian over you.’

‘I am only a plain warner.’

‘… All praise belongs to Allah; He will soon show you His signs, and you will know them.’…

P.S.: I am writing this message entirely for the pleasure of Allah, who says (in the Holy Qur’an, Aal-e-`Imran: 105), “And let there be among you a few who should invite (humanity) towards goodness.”… And who is better in speech than he who invites men to Allah and does good works and says, ‘I am surely of those who submit.’ [41:34]

I’m not here to judge anybody’s faith… No, no, I am not.

I’m here only to light-up your path with knowledge from holy books and most importantly from the last law from our lord – Qur’an, to help you distinguish right from wrong. Hope the wise among you will at least try once to consider my work and think seriously about your own ways of life and ways of worship. May Allah guide you along the right path… Aameen

Truth is a terrible thing… and only a few have the courage to accept it…. Weak are the ones who give up before understanding the case AND Fools are those who just follow what others said… but wise are those who dig for truth and accept it: Choose what you want to be.

YOU HAVE ALL RIGHTS to disbelieve me… but an option to trust me as well.

Free at your will, you can go where your heart leads to.

Going by the concept of Universal Brotherhood, we are all one family: I request my Gracious God to guide you… Insha’Allah, he’ll accept my request.

[4:27-28] Allah desires to make clear to you, and guide you to, the paths of those before you, and to turn to you in mercy.

I am charged with the responsibility to introduce ‘Truth’ to the world, a responsibility which I am not permitted to lay aside till I draw my last breath. [3:61] This is the truth from thy Lord, so be thou not of those who doubt.

And please note that Not all of the views presented in this message are of the Ahmadiyya Community, few which are devoid of reference are either hearsay or my personal opinion. Most opinions expressed are only those of the authors of that particular section (check reference) and may not represent the official views of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The official views of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are only the teachings of Islam bought by His Holiness Mohammad (saw), His mighty book and the word of the Lord – the Holy Qur’an, the teachings (Hadeeth) & Sunnah of His Holiness Prophet Mohammad (saw), teachings of the Promised Messiah and His Khalifas (Successors).

It would be incorrect to think that I have prepared myself for this task, or that I wish to shed any light upon it from a purely intellectual point of view. The only purpose I have in mind is to share my research work on the subject with all people in a simple and concise manner.

If God so wills, it might grant guidance to some lost soul, or refresh someone’s stagnating faith, or serve to comfort some anxious and restless heart, or, perchance, our dearly beloved might come to realize that the true aim and purpose of our lives is to recognise our Lord, Whose love is greater than any other.

I pray to the Allah Almighty: ‘O my Lord, You are aware of all my shortcomings and my knowledge and deeds are not hidden from You. Grant me, through Your grace, the strength to complete this book in accordance with that which pleases You. Grant power to my words and lead my pen along the path of righteousness and truth, so that people may recognize You and attain the goal of their lives. O my Helper, my Guide, though I consider myself true in my intentions, You know me better than I know myself. If You are aware of any ill-intentions on my part, do have mercy on me and purify me so that this book may not be deprived of the blessings which You send down in support of the truth. Be it so, O God. Amen.’

I have addressed mainly to the youth who are more at risk from atheistic doctrines or faulty religious concepts. What I have written should suffice for an unbiased person, but if some doubts still remain, I believe they too can be resolved in the light of the points discussed in this book. As for those who have shut their eyes to light themselves with bias and antagonism, I have no cure for them. Only God has, and it is to Him that I pray that He may cleanse their hearts. May there not remain a single person who passes away from this world without having recognized his Lord. Nothing could be more unfortunate for man than to leave this world without knowing the One Who created him, sustained him and gave him all his faculties.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have written this book wholly upon the command of our Lord, which is an attempt to remove the complications and confusions bought into all religions, presenting nothing but perfect truth right from the Divine books like The Holy Qur’an, The Holy Bible, The Holy Gita, etc…

However, I had never gave much thought to what I should call or name the book… initially I called it as ‘The Message’ as it has a message for everybody and later as the message presents all TRUTH, I renamed it to ‘The Truth Message’ while saving it… Never thot much about it, however.

Now read the Qur’anic verse below & the comment to it:

[77:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[77:2] By those sent forth to spread goodness,
[77:3] And then they push on with a forceful pushing,
[77:4] And by those who spread the truth, a good spreading,*
[77:5] And then they distinguish fully between good and evil.
[77:6] Then they carry the exhortation far and wide
[77:7] To excuse some and warn others.
[77:8] Verily, that which you are promised must come to pass.

*They proclaim and spread the Message of Truth far and wide; or scatter the seeds of goodness everywhere.

The verses spoke about the people who would be made to spread ‘The Message of Truth’ around the globe or in their parts at least, according to the means available to them.

Qur’an rightly calls it ‘The Message of Truth’ and how fantastic is that I’ve named my book the very same name ‘The Truth Message’. I’ve chosen the exact match as mentioned in the Qur’an, wonderful, isn’t it?

Well, anyways, coming of Qayamat [end of the world] is shown this way as in a continuation from the above:

[77:9] So when the stars are made to lose their light,
[77:10] And when the heaven is rent asunder,
[77:11] And when the mountains are blown away,
[77:12] And when the Messengers are made to appear at the appointed time —
[77:13] For what day has have these portents been deferred?
[77:14] For the Day of Decision.
[77:15] And what should make thee know what the Day of Decision is! —
[77:16] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!
[77:17] Did We not destroy the earlier peoples?
[77:18] We will now cause the later ones to follow them.
[77:19] Thus do We deal with the guilty.

You don’t want to be the ones among guilty, do you? …for God says:

[77:20] [77:25] [77:29] [77:35] [77:38]….. Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!

[77:30] They (the disbelievers) will be commanded: ‘Now move on towards that which you treated as a lie,

[77:31] ‘Aye, move on towards a three-pronged shadow.
[77:32] ‘Neither affording shade, nor protecting from the flame.’

[77:33] It throws up sparks like huge castles,
[77:34] As if they were tawny camels.

[77:35] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!

[77:36] This is a day when they shall not be able to speak;
[77:37] Nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses.

[77:38] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!
[77:39] ‘This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier peoples together.

[77:41] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!

~*~

[77:42] The righteous will be in the midst of shades and springs,
[77:43] And fruits, such as they will desire.
[77:44] It will be said to them: ‘Eat and drink pleasantly as a reward for what you did.’

[77:45] Thus surely do We reward those who do good.

~*~

[77:46] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!

[77:47] ‘Eat and enjoy yourselves a little while in this world, O rejectors of truth; surely you are the guilty ones.’

[77:48] Woe on that day unto those who reject the truth!
[77:51] In which word then, after this, will they believe?

Oh yes, for those who are comparing the verses of Qur’an from this message in their Qur’an, please subtract one from all stated verse counts because I count ‘Bismillah’ occurring before the start of every Surah (Chapter) as the first aayat (verse) of every Surah so my number will be +1 to yours.

Reason being… God, in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 20:18-19, had said to Moses (pbuh) that: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

So it clearly meant that all whatever is recorded in the Quran are God’s words and not Mohammad (pbuh)’s! And so all the chapters in The Holy Quran start ‘In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful’ or ‘Bismillah-Hir-Rahman-Nir-Raheem’ except Surah 9 Al’Tauba (alone) which doesn’t start with it ONLY because is not a separate Surah in-itself but a part of Surah Al’Anfal.

Ahmadi Muslims believe that Bismillah is the first verse of each surah, and we believe that Bismillah was revealed with each Surah like other verses and so it is the start of each Surah, that is why we count Bismillah as verse number One while the other Muslim unfortunately don’t.

At certain places I’ve used the verses from Qur’an-e-Majeed to put down my personal opinion – they matched so well, in fact so perfectly well that I thought to include them with the verse reference numbers instead of writing down new sentences to express my views. I very well know that they were said in different contexts, but you see they suit our context so well that I didn’t have to think any further. Qur’an is undeniably written well enough to suits to all times… after all, Lord is the author. And moreover, this is what the Lord himself says in the Qur’an:

[50:46] We know best what they say; and thou hast not been appointed to compel them in any way. So admonish, by means of the Qur’an, him who fears My warning.

…so I’m warning by means of Qur’an 🙂

[42:16] To this, then, do thou invite mankind.

The following abbreviations have been used. Readers are urged to recite the full salutations:

(saw) sal-lallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, meaning ‘may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him’ is written after the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).

(as) ‘alaihis salam, meaning ‘peace be upon him’ is written after the names of Prophets other than the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).

(ra) radi-Allahu ‘anhu/‘anha/‘anhum, meaning ‘may Allah be pleased with him/her/them’ is written after the names of the Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) or of the Promised Messiah (as).

(rta) rahmatullah ‘alaih, meaning ‘may Allah shower His mercy upon him’ is written after the names of deceased pious Muslims who are not Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) or of the Promised Messiah (as).

(aba) ayyadahullahu ta‘ala bi nasrihil ‘aziz, meaning ‘may Allah support him with His Mighty Help’ is written after the name of the current Khalifah of the Promised Messiah (as).

Dear reader,

May peace be with you in this life and in the Hereafter.

Spread light, spread this message and all details as much as you can and to as many as you ever can, in as many languages as you can, in all the ways you can… Because there are many out there who are on the wrong path. All of us have to turn to the almighty, the only one Lord of the worlds. And remember: The ink of scholar is more valuable than blood of martyr.

SubhanAllahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa La Ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar

[Holy is my Lord. All praise belongs to Allah. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah. And Allah is the greatest.]

And… well, I shouldn’t call myself as the author of this book, ‘The Truth Message’, no, no, I should not, honestly. As you see, most of the stuff here is copied and pasted, so I can then be called a Copy-Paster, right? …would be more truthful, wouldn’t it?

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research… so, as I’ve stolen from an innumerable source of books since past seven years, I think I can call my work as ‘research’ and also I request to be forgiven to copy from the copyrighted sections, please.

Arthur Schopenhauer was very wise when he said, “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” …same would happen with ‘The Truth Message’ of mine. 

All I can do is pray:

O Lord, accept this from me; for Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing;
