INTRODUCTION

 

What is going on in our world? Is it really a human world. If so why are all these wars allover the globe from North to south and from East to West? Now we see what is happening in Kosova and Shishan, something terrible like what animals do with each other. It is not only in Kosova but wars are running in every place. Why all that?

Some people say that wars are political, others say they are religious or political caused by difference in religious thoughts.

The problem is, most wars are against Muslims and this gave the Muslims a bad impression about the others and let them think in what others planning against them. I had also the same impression till I visited Europe and contacted others from different countries and different religions. In fact I traveled to Europe for studying the German Language at Goethe-Institute in Mannheim. At this institute, I met a lot of students from all parts of the world. Each student has his own culture, religion, thought and behavior. Of course, questions about the religions must have been released. The youth would like to know about the belief of the others; either Muslims, Christians, Jews or disbelievers. Perhaps each student has read in any book about the other religions but each one would like to know the truth from the other directly. Although there have been a lot of controversy since each one is prejudiced in favor of his belief, the relation between them was very friendly. They were eating together, playing together, making parties together without any hostility among them. The thing that has attracted the attention is that: most people have a bad idea about the Muslims. They think that the Muslims are aggressive people, deal with each other and with their wives by force as their religion orders, not lovely and not friendly. I remember for example; a friend from Norway, twenty years old, she had a very bad idea about the Arabs in general and the Muslims in particular. She said that the Muslims are aggressive but when she came nearer and dealt with them, her idea has changed and her best friends now are the Muslims!

On the other hand; a lot of similarities are found between the Christians and the Muslims. The Christians are very friendly, honest, honorable and many good characters were observed. Although I'm dealing everyday and night with the Christians either in the institute with the professors and the colleagues or in the street with the people and the friends, all of them offer their helps without looking at me as a Muslim. I asked myself: since the relation between the Muslims and the Christians is very friendly, why do we hear here and there about fights and wars between the Muslims and the Christians? Is that really the feeling of people? Is that their hobby to see the seas of bloods of children, women and old people in the streets? Is that their hobby to let each one leave his own house and live in the forests, in the darkness, in a cold weather, without eyes or with one leg and one arm? Shouldn't we live together in peace! This word which is the sweetest word in all the languages, without any fear and so love spreads among the human beings!

One of my colleagues told me about a short story, which happened in one of the Arab Gulf Countries not long time ago. In one of the companies, there was a party for all the members working in it. Presents were offered to the children. One of the foreigner's children of about eight years old whose father was working in that company was asked by the manager (the manager is by the way Arabian): "what will you do with your present?" (It was a toy pistol). The child replied at once that he would kill the Arabs by this pistol when he grows up! The child wants to see the bloods of Arabs flood as their oil does! And who advised the child to do that when he grows up?

What is the end of all people, either a very rich man or a very poor man, a king or a slave. The end of all is the dust, to be buried in a grave, to be decayed and decomposed. The worms don't differentiate between any level of the people. All are the same, all must be eaten by such worms! So; if we looked at this end, the end which puts all kinds of people under the same conditions, isn't it possible to live together in peace? And who is the owner of this universe? And who is the owner of this earth on which we are fighting and each of us tries to get more parts of the land to his property? Is He a one, two or three creator? If they are more than one creator; so why hadn't they delineated their boundaries on the earth and the heavens? And who owns the sole Sun and the sole Moon? And if they are really more than one; why hadn't they fought to get a large part of property and to show which creator is the strongest? On the other hand; to which creator do we belong? Do all the people belong to one creator or to different creators. If they belong to more than one creator, who belongs to whom? And why are the people similar in their physiology and external morphology? Why isn't there any variation in one group of people than the other? For example: a feature in one group to show that they are distinguished from the other group which belongs to the other creator!

If there is no more than one creator, why shouldn't the people obey Him? And on what things are they differing if the creator is one? And what are the exact rules, which this creator has ordered his creature to follow? And what are the rules he has forbidden for them?

And in this age of modern civilization and progress, the age in which the man has invented incredible things like for example the computer. The man who solved the secret of the moon and the sun. The age in which the man has discovered the oil from under the surface of the earth and invented instruments by which he could determine the exact position of the hidden oil. The age in which the man can travel from the north pole to the south pole in one day. The age in which the French scientist Champollion had discovered the secret of "Rosette stone". The age in which the man has made everything easy and possible, nothing now is impossible.

In spite of that; why shouldn't we try to solve the secret of the religions? The secret which renders us live together in peace and also guides us to the right way to the paradise. Why shouldn't there be one religion for all the people since they have agreed that there is no more than one owner. No more than one who has created this universe with its contents of people, animals, plants, insects, mountains, the sun, the moon, the planets and everything?

Is that really impossible for the man of the 20th century who invented all these miracles? In this case; all the people can live together in peace. No hostility, no wars, no bloods, no broken houses, no families in the streets without food, water, covering, in the dark nights of the cold and terrible winter!

Why isn't there one who tries to solve the secret of the three religions? One who reads the Holy Books, which are supposed to have been descended from this one Creator. And I wonder how they had been descended from one creator although there are many controversies!

All the religions order the people to do all the good works, of course because the Owner is one. So why is that difference especially in the matter concerns Jesus. He is considered by the Christians as a god or the human part of the go (father, son and holy spirit). The Muslims consider him as a normal prophet exactly like their prophet Mohammed and all the previous prophets. Let's ask ourselves: if Jesus is a god, so who sent the Quran? Is he another creator who says that Jesus is a prophet not a god? And if Jesus is a son of the same Muslim's God; so why does this God say in the Quran that Jesus isn't his son but is a normal prophet? Has He changed His mind about Jesus? On the other hand; what is the need for the God to send part of Him to speak to the people and why hadn't He sent one of the Angels to do such a job?

A lot of questions need to be answered by one who is not prejudiced against any religion. One who reads both Books (the Bible and the Quran) and tries to explain the difference and guides the people to best way to follow instead of this controversy and no one knows where the truth is. The truth which leads us either to the paradise or to the hell.

Everything is clear in both Holy Books, there is no need to think deeply as one thinks in the problems of physics or mathematics.

What paid also the writer's attention is a picture in the German language book which he studied in Goethe-Institute. This picture represents a Mosque and a Church and the two Holy Books (the Bible and the Quran). It is something very beautiful, perhaps the author of the German language book means by this picture that several students of different religions come to learn the German Language in Germany. But for the writer it has another meaning; it means to him an invitation for the people to leave the Holy Books to their Owner. To try to solve all the existing problems and wars in the world. To try to find the differences among the religions which had been descended from the Creator. So such differences must have been caused by some people several hundred years ago and in favor of their position or wealth. But in the 20th century, should we also follow those people who are responsible for all this hostility now?

The picture means also that we have to live together in peace and under one and the same bases because we will all return to this Creator. To try to solve our problems by ourselves and to remember the ancient people who lived thousands of years ago. How those people had been very strong and what their end was! An example of such people is the pharos who had built the pyramids and the excellent temples. Those strange kind of people who had been clever in all subjects of science: Medicine, Agriculture, Engineering, etc. Where are those people now and who are their inheritance? Where is their god whom they believed and where is their leader who thought that he is the god? Do you know the end of that leader and those people? Do you remember when the sea (Gulf of Suez in Egypt) had been separated into two parts to allow the prophet Moses and his men to cross to the other side and when that leader of the pharos and his men tried to follow Moses; the sea had returned to its original state and so the pharos had been drowned. At that moment; the leader of the pharos said: "now I believed the God of Moses." but when!

So let's put an end to our controversy instead of being punished by the same way which happened to all the former people because of what we are doing now of holding the wars and spreading the hostility among the people allover the surface of the earth.

And if the Lord had willed, He verily would have made the people one nation, yet they will not cease to differ. Except those on whom the Lord has bestowed His mercy; and for that he created them. And the word of the Lord shall be fulfilled: I`ll fill the hell with the jinn and the people together. (Quran 11:118-119).

And those who break the convenant of Allah after ratifying it, and cut what Allah has commanded to be joined and make mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs is the worst abode. (Quran 13:25).

Say to My servants to say those things that are best: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. It is Your Lord that knows you best: if He pleases, He grants you mercy, or if He pleases; punishment and We haven't sent you to be a disposer of their affairs for them. (Quran 17:53-54).
