Without faith in God Almighty, man is blind. The essence of all
religions is to bring forward mankind as one family under the banner of
the unity of the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.
Religion has been and will
always be what man makes of it, and that is why man must take absolute
precaution as to how he defines religion and how he goes about
implementing religion, the true one in his everyday life. Religion may
become a mere thought if not defined properly and acted upon. That is
why God Almighty Himself brought forward Islam as the living religion of
man. It is not only a religion, but the actual way of life of mankind,
and especially the dedicated servants of God. From Prophet Adam to the
last of all the law-bearing prophets, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him), religion received its true meaning and purpose: to access to God
Almighty (Allah - the Supreme and Absolute name of Almighty God; name
which no human can and will hold).
ISLAM: The true purpose of
life, absolute submission to the living and unique God, the religion of
peace and harmony bringing mankind as one entity in the worship of the
Almighty.
Since the dawn of time,
whenever the demons tried to deviate man from the right path and keep
him away from the worship of the Creator, God Almighty (Allah) sent
times and times again His elects, His prophets, messengers and reformers
of religion/faith to guide man back to the righteous path, to teach them
the words of Allah and show them the signs of God Almighty, be it in
themselves and in the heavens and earth so that they may recognise the
absolute power and existence of God and adhere to His path and truth.
Thus, God Almighty sent His
prophets and messengers with guidance in forms of divine revelations;
and some of these divine revelations were clear laws or Divine
Scriptures to guide man to God. Each time the highway leading man to God
is broken; each time God Almighty raises His Chosen Messenger to repair
that highway without which man shall not have access to the Almighty.
Islam, the religion of all
prophets, the religion established and named by God Himself in the last
law-bearing Book - the Holy Quran is the true religion of man and it is
Islam which awakens in man true faith, such faith which shall make him
gain access to absolute peace and tranquillity in God Almighty
Himself.
The prior teachings of God,
having been tampered by the hands of man to reflect their own thoughts
about religion and what ought to be and not, thus God Almighty raised
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) not as a destroyer of faith but as
the Messiah of faith, the divinely anointed king to bring man back to
God with the support of clear revelations and laws which are treasures
to man’s physical, moral and spiritual state.
The Quran is such a Book
which pervades the life of man if he lets in the light of its words and
impact penetrates him. Such changes shall happen in his life if he
devotes his life to research truth and accept it. Seeking the truth of
God is one thing, but to accept it and implement it is another whole
matter. If man can make religion,
man can destroy it too. That is why divine intervention was needed to
show to mankind the true religion of God so that he may tread on that
path with divine-helped surety and confidence. What better name for the
true religion than ISLAM -
Submission to the Unique God in peace and faith?
When man loses his way and
fabricates other meanings to religion, the Overpowering Lord sends His
guide with His guidance to make them realise their error and stick to
that right path, so that they may get to see the face of the Unique God
which they are searching for. When people have added
innovations to religion and changed the scriptures of God to their
likings, God comes to annihilate those false scriptures and people so as
to establish once again His kingdom and rules.
If
now Islam is defiled by the people, then it is not Islam which is to be
blamed or which is weak but it is the people who are to be blamed. Allah
sees therefore the need to send times and times again
- and this till
the Day of Judgement
- such reformers of Islam and humanity at large who
would incarnate the true spirit of the perfection of the last
law-bearing prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and all prophets of God
so as to show the world the truth and purity of Islam.
What are we then, if we are
not submitters to the will of God? If we do not submit, we are doomed
and liable to be easily tempted by the Satans which roam this world and
our own beings, waiting for the right opportunity to rip us from the
body of life, our Creator, our support for life.
If a baby is connected to
its mother in the womb through his umbilical cord, then we must reminds
ourselves that we are all connected to our source of life, God Almighty,
without whose bond we would have been miscarried or aborted from life.
If our body is alive, it is also because of the soul which resides in
each of us, a soul which is connected with the divine and which awaits
impatiently for the day it shall go back to Him. If we have such souls
in us, we are lovers of God who yearn for our Allah only. If not, if we
let our souls blend in the negativity of the world and let the Satans
fool us, then we lose the essence of divinity which is in us, and we
lose our Goal and even our soul. Our Islam disappears and we become
unworthy of the title of human with humane qualities which God bestowed
upon us in the first place.
Therefore, if Jamaat Ul
Sahih Al Islam exists today, it is not without a purpose. As the
religion of Islam has been taken as mere jest by most people of the
world, including so-called Muslims who have lost touch with the true
essence of Islam, therefore Allah has revealed and ordained yet again a
name for such a Jamaat (Community) which shall revive the true Islam.
Islam is the real religion. Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam is not a religion
but it is the instrument which shall lead people to the true Islam. That
is why Allah from among the names He revealed for His Jamaat, made
Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam most attractive because this is the
raison-d’être of the Divine Manifestation of this age, to bring back
people to the true Islam.
