I know I think a lot… can’t help it 🙂
Shall we think together?

The Truth Message – Part – 7.2 My thoughts

A Question comes in my mind:
Why did Lord choose India out of all the countries of the world for the Messiah to come?

What d’you think?

Maybe because abundance of varied worshipping practices / different types found here.

OR

Maybe because religion tolerance is more here compared to other places.

OR

Maybe because God wanted to bless this country like once he blessed Israel and Mecca.

OR

…you gime other reasons.

Whatever the case, now Qadian has joined the list of blessed places, indeed.

—

Another million dollar question:

What will be the response of Indians now?

Will they believe or disbelieve?

What is in store for this land of Bharata, India?

India needs no introduction: We all know it is a home to more than 1.5 billion people belonging to almost all the religions of the world yet they stay together bunched up like a beautiful flower bouquet where every other flower would resemble a different religion yet they live together in perfect peace. Now this country stands as a strong example of religious tolerance, brotherhood and humanity (leaving aside few politicians who incite religious groups at the time of elections, etc and garner support by the policy of divide & rule in religious terms).

All Indians, irrespective of their diverse religious beliefs, stand together representing a strong nation. History records since ever that their national identity comes before their religious identities – may it be a time of struggle or rejoice.

Non-Violence, humility, forbearance and forgiveness are their high-held values.

Many religions were born here;
Many other flourished here.

The Great Gautama Budha of Buddhism & Mahaveer of Jainism were born here Jesus of Nazareth died here: The Most Important of all: The world reformer of all religions who, as a major fact, is The Promised Messiah of all the faiths of this planet was born here.

So! What do you think will happen of India now?

God chose to bless it, but will Indians reject the Messiah and follow the footsteps of Israel as they had rejected Jesus?

Or will they present another beautiful example of absolute obedience?

Only the God knows best. I pray: May God bless Indians and guide them all along the right path… Ameen.

Coming to the final chapter:

God says in his last law book in his very own words:

And whoso seeks a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted of him and in the Hereafter he shall be among the losers. (Ch.3:V.86)

This is a divine decree and none can alter the decree of the Almighty.

Surely, you must ask now and also know, why specifically Islam? Why not any other religion?

Let’s see then.

Since the start of time:

Generations had lived and died;
prophets have come and gone;
books were brought and lost…

In the initial chapters of this book we have seen the stories of previous prophets who called their people to the One and only God, Eg. Adam (as), Noah (as), Abraham (as), Lot (as), Moses (as), Jesus (as), etc. Their religion was Islam too because all of them submitted themselves to the will and obedience of One God.

The Holy Qur’an confirms my point [42:14]:

He has prescribed for you the religion which He enjoined on Noah, and which We have now revealed to thee, and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying, ‘Establish obedience to Allah in the earth…’

However, these previous prophets were not appointed for the whole of mankind but were sent only for their specific people with specific guidelines (laws) to bring reforms in specific habits, beliefs, and way of life of certain times. For this very reason, their books were of limited knowledge to be followed for limited periods. These prophets brought the guidance which was appropriate for those specific people and according to their limited capabilities.

Only the concept of ‘Worship-of-One-God’ applied to all people of all times and remained unaltered and it shall never change!

Well, going back to those prophets God had not intended that any of their teachings should continue to the end of the times; so those were tailored only to suit to their specific times. As soon as any generation began forgetting the laws defined by the last prophet, another prophet was sent with improvements to match his time.

Conversely though, approximately 1400 years ago Prophet Mohammad (saw) who was called ‘the lead of prophets’ was sent with The Final Religion and The Final Book. These were not limited to time periods or to specific people but were universal in nature and was set to remain unchanged till the end of times. The religion was named Islam and its followers were named Muslims by the lord himself and was destined to remain as the Only one dominant religion till the End of times.

About Prophet Mohammad, the Lord says:

And We have sent thee as a bringer together of all mankind—a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner for all mankind; (34:29-31)

AND

Chapter 21:108: And We have not sent thee but as a mercy for all peoples.

According to the Quran, there is only one religion acceptable to God and that is complete submission to His Will.

“…The only religion in the sight of God is Islam…” (Quran 3:19)

“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter, he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the Hellfire).” (Quran 3:85)

Islam, basically is not a new religion. And, Allah is not a new God.

Islam was also the religion of the earlier and we have already discussed this in detail earlier. Islam is THE ONLY RELIGION which has, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). And, Allah is the same one God who is Supreme since time immemorial.

Islam is a strongly monotheistic religion with the worship of One God as its central theme.

The religion is called Islam because it offers peace and requires complete submission to the will of God. So ‘Islam’ would mean the path of those who are obedient to the One-God, Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its followers are called Muslims.

The name is derived from Salām which means Peace.

Islam is the last religion and contains in itself the essential principles of all earlier religions and it requires its followers to believe in all earlier prophets and scriptures. So all divinely revealed religions & all prophets are fully respected in Islam. This can only bring mankind to harmony, unity and peace among religions, isn’t it?

This element of universality is unique to Islam. Islam fully endorses the bonafide status of all earlier prophets and revealed books. Thus Islam is not a religion of an ethnic group or a nation, but the religion of mankind and is destined divinely to become the only dominant one!

However, we have seen: There is no need to follow the many prophets independently because the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) comprises of them all.

AND

As for all Books of the past are concerned, there is no need left to follow them independently because the final Law: The Holy Quran comprises in itself all Books of the past.

‘And this (Qur’an) is a Book which We have revealed, full of blessings, to fulfill that which preceded it…’ (Ch6:V93)

The Holy Qur’an is the last divine scripture for mankind. It is the final revealed Book of Law for the guidance of humanity, and is intended for all peoples and all times.

Allah says:

39:18: And those who eschew the worship of false gods and turn to ALLAH – for them is glad tidings. So give good tidings to MY servants.

39:19: Who listen to the Word and follow the best thereof. It is they whom ALLAH has guided, and it is they who are really endowed with understanding.

Surely, those who have believed……. –whoso believe in Allah (God) and the last Day, and does righteous deeds – on them shall come no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Quran, Al’Maidah, Ch.5:V.70)

And at last, to unite the whole world people into one religion ‘The Promised Messiah’ was sent – this Messiah, His Holiness Prophet Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (pbuh) was not only the expected messiah of Islam but was an expected Messiah of all world religions… we’ve already accepted it.

This Promised Messiah, His Holiness Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian was the beloved and sincere servant of His Holiness Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw) of Arab… This favoured servant’s soul was honoured to be the ‘Ummati Nabi’ from the Ummat of Mohammad (saw), such was his devotion towards our master & saviour Nabi-e-Kareem (Chief of Prophets), Khatamun Nabiyyeen (The Seal of Prophets), Khatamul Ambiya (Leader of the elect), Khatamul Mursileen, (Pride of the Prophets), the Siraj-ul-Muneer Mohammad Mustafa (saw) who in himself represented all the other past prophets.

The Promised Messiah of Qadian did Not bring any new law or book or God or religion… He came only to fulfil the promises made by our lord & his prophets (of every religion) to the people of the latter days. Now it is our duty to follow him… doing this will not only save us but also our future generations because it is clearly prophesized that only those will be saved who follow the Promised Messiah. Those who reject and oppose him will be wiped out!

+++++

Still you may ask me, why only Islam? Let me help you with understanding:

Christianity: We could have followed Christianity, but the concepts of Christianity are found all corrupted.

And in the first part of this message I have proved majority of their basic fundamental concepts to be as ‘false beliefs’.

So, can’t follow Christianity. Moreover Religion was not complete in his time because Jesus himself had promised coming of another great Messiah.

By insisting on vicarious atonement, which means Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of others (a metaphor completely missing in other religions) Christianity is fundamentally at odds with all other religious traditions be it Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism or Zoroastrianism.

~~~~****Islam on the other hand has a unifying paradigm, which confirms that Abraham, Isaac, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Ram, Confucius, Dao and Zoroaster, were prophets of God and were all inspired by love of one True God and mankind. And, the Quran demonstrates the universality of its teachings by addressing all human, moral, social and religious problems of man, irrespective of race, colour, creed or nationality. Islamic teachings have the potential of global application with an appeal to universal human nature****~~~~

Hinduism: Hindu religion of today has innumerable Gods & Goddesses – This concept is completely confusing, so it’s hard to have any conclusion on this part. And, there is not a particular book which can be entirely trusted or followed… Research proves that the overall concept of religion & God in Hinduism are corrupted. Can’t follow Hinduism!

Every other religion today (including the two above) lik Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, etc are all waiting for their Messiah. And so you know these religions are not complete yet, there’s a reformer yet in waiting. And, these all do not have a specific God who would qualify to all the attributes stated in the discussion of ‘God’ that we did earlier. Click to know God

Only Islam is the religion which recognized & accepted the Promised Messiah.

Only Islam is religion whose God qualifies all the conditions completely.

Moreover, in Islam itself, only Ahmadi Muslims, only 1 sect out of the total 73 sections, have recognized the Promised Messiah, so, it is logically proven that Only Islam Ahmadiyya is the one-religion which has answers for every doubt that a human mind can ever conceive and the only one religion acceptable in the eyes of our lovely lord.

The false joys and artificial delights of this mortal world cannot be compared to the love of God.

By God’s grace you are no longer perplexed, as I have bought truth to you.

O Christians!

Now you do not have to worry about questions such as, Is God the Father? or, Is God the Son? or, is God the Holy Ghost or Spirit?

Do not have to be fooled to accept false concepts of Atonement or Trinity or Ascension, etc.

A true religion is completely free from all forms of confusion, uncertainities & stupidness: Islam does not compel to accept enigmatic matters of religion merely on authority, rather, Islam furnishes it proofs with convincing arguments in support of its doctrines, none of which leaves no doubt in mind, and one is bound to accept that there is only One Lord, and that Allah alone is the Lord of all the Worlds.

Leave alone that which involves thee in doubt and adhere to that which is free from doubt, for truth is comforting, falsehood is disturbing. (Tirmidhi) Also: Truth guides to virtue and virtue guides to Paradise. (Bukhari and Muslim)

Dear Hindus!

It’s time you understand the divine concepts of spiritualism in the correct way: It’s time you choose one between myths & facts!

The All-Powerful God Almighty need not present himself as fierce-looking woman or an Animal or Tree or a mortal Man with a complete family! He need not die to rise again in a different name or in a different form! Our All-wise Lord is far above such weaknesses.

I assure you that I have been favoured with a revelation in clear words that the Hindus will once more turn to Islam with great eagerness. [Announcement by The Promised Messiah of March 12, 1897, Majmu‘ah Ishtiharat, vol. 2, p. 341]

“…in the end God’s Unity will be victorious. Other false gods will be destroyed and false gods will be cut off from their godheads. The worship of Mary will die off and the death of her son will now be definitely established. God the Almighty says: If I were to will so, I would cause Mary and her son Jesus and all that are on the earth to perish. He has now determined to put an end to the wrongful worship of both. All those evil faculties which were prone to accept false gods will also perish. There will be a new earth and a new heaven.

The days are approaching when the sun of truth will rise from the West and Europe will recognise the True God.

Thereafter the door of repentance will be closed, for those who wish to enter will have entered eagerly and only those will remain outside whose hearts are by nature sealed, and who are in love, not with light, but with darkness.

The time is near when all religions will perish except Islam. The time is near that the true Unity of God, which is perceived within their nature even by those who dwell in the desert or are completely unaware of any teaching, will spread through all regions. On that day there will remain no artificial atonement nor an artificial god. A single stroke of God will frustrate all the plans of disbelief, not by any sword, nor by any gun, but by bestowing light on eager souls and by illumining the pure hearts. Then will there be an understanding of all that which I say.” [al-Ishtiharu Mustaiqinan bi-Wahyillahil-Qahhar, Announcement dated January 14,1897, Majmu‘ah Ishtiharat, vol. 2, pp. 304–305]

—

I call every religion of this world to analyze their concept of religion: Does it match the divine distinctiveness as proposed by Islam? Or not?

By God’s grace you should no longer be perplexed about Divine Law and its benefits, revelation and its importance, resurrection and the life after death, heaven and hell. By God’s grace you should again be convinced that Islam which is embodied in the Holy Qur’ān, the Ḥadīth (sayings), and Sunnah (pracitces) gives detailed answers to all the questions one could ever entertain. In reality, Islam furnishes you with the faith and understanding about your life, death and hereafter – this is undoubtedly the only religion which connects the man to his creator:

What does it take to be a true believer, a real Muslim?

Do things to please your lord… Sing praises of the lord, send Salaam to Prophet Mohammad (saw), count your blessings, show kindness to all, be sweet, smile at people, help the ones in need, clean your home, street, society, donate stuff, give charity, make others happy, be patient & praying. Allah has written these in QURAN to make it more clear to us and also ways to do it. There is not a single other divine book that explains everything this plainly.

Allah in the Holy Qur’an lists about 700 commandments dealing with various stages in life following which Man can be successful in this life & in the Hereafter. Success here means many things: We becoming righteous, one amongst the chosen by God, the one purified, the one to be honored here and in Heaven, One who will be liked and loved by one and all for anything or everything about him: His deeds, way of life, speeches, service to the society, style and everything. I’ve heard there’s actually book title Kar Na Kar {“Do(s) and Don’t(s)”} enlisting all the 700 Qur’anic Commandments compiled by Dr. Muhammad Ismail Sahib. Can anyone find and share it with us, please?

And allow me to clear my point: Commandments are simply speaking the way of life. You are not asked to endure pain or harm yourself or even other or do anything which is beyond your power or something that you might dislike, not at all. Those commandments are only something like: To believe in the One-God: Allah; to not hold partners with him; to say truth; to not steal; to be just in your decisions; to be polite to all; to serve mankind; to follow your government, etc. It also counts as how you deal with wife, children, elders, diseased or how you play your roles & responsibilities in all times of life.

This is what Allah himself says in His own book in his own words:

[2:186] Allah desires ease for you and He desires not hardship for you,

So you see, if you wish to be righteous he will make things easy for you and again…

Now we see what is righteousness?

Righteousness means that the fear of God should be created in one’s heart in such a way that there is the consciousness that if I do such and such bad or evil things, then God would be displeased with me. My love for God should never tolerate that God should be displeased with me. When you develop such a concept in your mind, then you will try and avoid every evil that comes your way and do every good deed that comes along. The Holy Qur’an lays a great emphasis on righteousness…

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

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

Glad tidings of Gardens of Heaven are promised in return for being good and warnings to be burned in Hell are also clearly specified in it. Choose your way, Good Luck!

My dear Reader, peace be upon you.

If you never believed in any of the prophets or any book or never accepted that there was any God… do it now.

Believe and say: There is none worthy of worship other than Allah and Mohammad (saw) is his prophet & messenger.

Accept this divine message to find salvation.

Pray: O Allah! Thou art the Forgiving and thou lovest forgiveness, so please forgive me.’

On the Day of Judgment God will be your judge and not the mullahs, the pujaries, the pope, your people or anybody else. Come prepared!

And know,

And follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart – all these shall be called to account. (Ch.17:V.37)

Our last observation: ‘All praise is due to God, the Sustainer of the Universe’.

Suggested reading:

Islam as the perfect religion perfected by God and offered to mankind through the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) for mankind’s eternal evolution & salvation. Al-Ḥamdu Lillāh.

Pray:

All praise is due to Allah.

We laud Him, we beseech help from Him and ask His protection; we confide in Him, we trust Him alone and we seek protection against the evils and mischief of our souls and from the bad results of our deeds. Whomsoever He guides on the right path, none can misguide him; and whosoever He declares misled, none can guide him onto the right path.

And we bear witness that none deserves to be worshipped except Allah. He is alone and has no partner. We bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

I invite you to make a trial of winning the love of our lord, the One-God.

Come forward and, responding to the call of The Promised Messiah, Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (as), the ardent follower & servant of our master & savior Prophet Muhammad (saw) of Arabia and accept Islam, for therein lies your own total good and the good of your future generations, failing which, a terrible catastrophe awaits you, of which I have now warned you.

Dark times lie ahead of us and now is the time to choose between what is right and what is easy… And people, sometimes you’ve got to think about more than your own safety… Sometimes you’ve got to think about the greater good: So spread this message of truth, ‘The Truth Message’ far and wide and beyond: Let us illuminate the whole world!

God sent the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) to eradicate sectarianism from Muslims and also the wide varieties of other religions of this planet – He came to merge them all into one: One Lord, One Book, One Religion. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in fact came to unite everyone. God revealed to him that it was his task to gather all the people together as one family, one religion following one faith.

The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote in his book ‘Al Wassiyat’ (The Will):

‘God Almighty desires to draw all those who live in various habitations of the world, be it Europe or Asia, and who have virtuous nature, to the Unity of God and unite His servants under one Faith. This indeed is the purpose for which I have been sent to the world. You, too, therefore should pursue this end, but with kindness, moral probity and fervent prayers.’ [The Will, pp. 8 – 9]

Come people! Let’s follow the command of the lord in His words (The Holy Qur’an) and follow the foot-steps of Mohammad [saw] in our life… Only these paths will lead us onto the right path, to our Lord, for if you do that, you shall win the love of God, and you shall find this phrase of God as true: “If you will be Mine, the universe will be yours.”

My friends, I have now fulfilled my duty. If you still don’t learn, then God will make you see: The veil of misrepresentation and false propaganda is lifted, and I have explained you the beauties and Excellencies of this great religion Islam: People with pure hearts will invariably adopt it for pure hearts are drawn towards the Truth as by the law of gravitation.

I want all of you to read and study the Quran. Now this mighty book is not the thoughts or words or any human: It is all from the lord, in his own words; it conveys us his commandments and reminds us of the past people and of their ways. The author and editor of this book is the ‘Lord of the Worlds’… Read it now here: Islamic Apps for mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android and Windows Phone 7) & Qur’an Translations in 53 different languages

Read it and if you understand it, then you’ll not want to set it aside, even for a while: there are so many truths to be discovered! So many facts to be known… and so much knowledge of Hereafter as well – I could almost bet, you’ll find it very interesting on one condition: You’ll have to read it with a clean and unprejudiced heart.

And if you cannot understand Arabic, nothing to worry! The above link shows it in simple English and in other 52 different world languages: Read it in your regional language for easy understanding.

Everyone who wishes to become a Muslim is required to accept facts of faith with reasoning and understanding, not blindly. A person should use his powers of reasoning and reflect in his heart on Allah’s teachings. (Pathways to Paradise, A Publication of the Lajna Ima ’illah, USA, p. 6) and let me put it here again: I’m not here to compel anybody to accept Islam!

Nevertheless the signs of the revival of Islam are already visible. They may not be very clear yet but they are easily discernible. The sun of Islam will finally rise in its full splendor and illumine the world. But before that happens, the world must experience another war—a bloodbath—that will leave mankind shaken and chastened.

This is no imagination, no made up tale… not a man-made story or wishful thinking: Read the message and you’ll know all glad tidings to believers and warnings to the world of disbelievers are straight from the lord, from the creator. Make no mistake… Join me now.

World witnessed terrible tornadoes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, floods, epidemics, Hurricanes and many other such catastrophes and, if you think these are but natural… Nah! You are absolutely mistaken my dear! Think again.

We are responsible for what is happening, we bought it down with our own mistakes, let not the time of Noah or Lot or Moses come back… for we might stand among the disbelievers!

God uses nature to nurture mankind and again uses the very same nature to destroy it if we humans get arrogant enough to ignore His commands. So, Wake Up People! Wake Up to Religionism.

The whole world is under complete control and subjugation of the powerful grip of the One, and divine control is exercised all through the heaven and the earth. If He gives you water to survive by way of drinking it and using it – the very same water can drown you to death; If He can give you sunlight to survive by way of brightness in the day and for various other reasons – the very same light can cause you to decease; If He can give you cool winter for a relief from the hot summer – He can increase it to such extreme that you will die frozen!

In One Word: If He should afflict you with harm, no one, other than Him can remove it and if He should desire to bestow good upon you no one can repel His bounty. Know you not that Allah has complete power to do all that He wills?

The promise of Allah is bound to be fulfilled.

There has come to you a light from Allah, so do not reject it if you are believers.

What kind of hard-heartedness is this that even now you do not accept the truth!

Consider your death to be close at hand for you never know when that hour will strike.

Save yourself, save your generation and you have the power to save your own future generation too_Act now!

Accept the words of the lord, take heed… Be not a disbeliever or act as ignorant. God knows full well whatever is in your heart; He is all aware about your thoughts & plans.

Act now, don’t be late… you might not have the next moment to breathe.

You don’t want to be amongst the worst losers on the Judgment day… stay warned!

You still have time, so repent. Repent that your sins be forgiven and be spared of dangerous chastisements; repent that you be blessed and be made heirs to bounties from the lord, not wrath.

Let’s create a new example by becoming the best set of believers the lord ever had. Come let’s waste no time… Are you with me?

May God protect and safeguard the world from self-destruction and calamity. May peace prevail and may the world be saved from all forms of war and terror, Amen.
