PEACE 2000
(Mohammed Gameil)
About two thousand years have just now passed since the birth of the Christ Jesus and about 1420 years since the migration of the prophet Mohammed from Mecca to Madinah. This period has been full of many wars, seas of bloods flooding in the streets and the fields of wars. A period, full of hostility among the people of the three religions (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims), all of them fight for the sake of the God of our universe. Which God!? which God who orders the people to fight and not live together in peace? Is He really one creator or more than one creator? And if He is only one creator, why shouldn't we unite on one word? the word of worshipping Him because He has never ordered with fights but with peace as it is one of His names! And if we believe that we will all return to Him, so shall we put a straight way to recognize Him instead of being deceived in the Last Day when we meet Him and discover that He is not the god in whom we had believed and for his sake we had fought! Shall we solve the problem of the blind religious prejudice which isn't so difficult like the mathematical problems. Shall we solve it as we solved the secret of the moon and the planets.
No one tries to solve this problem! And each one is satisfied with his belief and insists on his opinion although we will all return to this Creator after death. And the wars are continued year after year for the sake of His name.
If there is only one owner to our universe, so this Owner must have one opinion and consequently the same rules but not changing His mind from time to time!
In this case, who is responsible for this controversy among the three religions? Is the God responsible for that? Or it is the responsibility of ancient people long time ago who put to us other rules instead of the original rules which the Creator had put in favor of their position and we follow now these rules by instinction and as we see our parents do! So those people have selected way for us to live in hostility for ever and so the wars will continue one after the other, one stops and the other starts and so on.
And when it is said to them: come to that which Allah has revealed and to the Messenger, they say: "Enough for us is that wherein we found our fathers following." What! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance?
O you who believe! Guard your own souls: if you follow (right) guidance. No hurt can come to you from those who stray, to Allah you will all return and then He will inform you of what you used to do. (Quran 5:104-105).
The result of these wars is that: our universe is becoming more polluted till it reaches the degree that there is no oxygen but enormous radiation and consequently all the creatures including the human beings, will be affected by such radiation. All will in turn die and so we will put the end to our world by ourselves!
Instead of putting the end to that world, is it possible to put the end to our wars?
Will we turn a new leaf with the coming of year 2000?
Shall we unify on one word, for the Creator to be happy for our union. Otherwise; He will be angry and so can destroy us all and bring new people who obey Him and do everything good. He is able to do this, this is not difficult for Him, we have to remember the pharos whose remnants are still standing in Egypt. Someone asks: "who and where are the inheritance of the pharos?" There are no people now in the world whose origin or ancestors were the pharos. This indicates a discontinuity in lineage as happened with animals throughout the whole geologic ages in the course of evolution. But with respect to the pharos whose age doesn't exceed five thousand years, this is totally unrelated to evolution. And which evolution without any change in the physiological and genetic characters!
So the absence of the lineage of pharos is a good indication for the ability of the Owner of this universe to remove us all if we didn't obey and worship Him.
The Lord is self-sufficient, full of mercy. If He will, He can remove you and in your place appoint whom He will, as He raised you up from the posterity of other people. (Quran 6:133).
We read all in the Holy Books about the story of such people whose king, the great pharaoh had considered himself the highest god. And his end as we know was that he had been drowned in the sea. What a god!
If He will, He can remove you, O people, and bring others. Allah is able to do that. (Quran 4:133).
I`d like to say that I'm not prejudiced against the other religions in favor of Islam as I believe these religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) as coming from the same Creator at different periods to different people. I only want to guide the people to the right way before the time passes and then we put the blame on ourselves for what we had done throughout our life.
So warn the people of the Day when the wrath will reach them, then the wrong-doers will say: "our Lord respite us (if only) for a short term, we will answer your call and follow the Messengers!" what! Haven't you sworn before that you will suffer no decline? (Quran 14:44).
So, instead of such controversy and the inability to select the exact religion which leads to the right way to the Creator; I have an idea, that is to put the three religions together and believe them all as coming from one creator to this universe. In this case we are within the circle of the right way to the paradise!
Do you know what does this mean? it means Islam as Islam's conditions is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Holy Books, His Prophets and the Last Day.
Say: we believed in Allah and that which He revealed to us and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ismael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes and that which Moses and Jesus received and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no difference between anyone of them and to Him we have surrendered. (Quran 2:136).
Also, I don't intend by this book to lead the people to follow Islam. No; everyone can select his way by himself. But I only say: "leave the religions to their Owner, worship Him and not follow the way of Satan" We all either Jews, Christians, Muslims or disbelievers will return to Him and He will settle His account with everyone in the Last Day. So we have to think in the right way of recognizing Him and not follow the way of people who misguided this way. It is not a football match that everyone insists on encouraging his team! By this way we can put an end to the wars arising among people living inside one land or people from different lands. People can then live together as one hand helping for the progress of our world and without any hostility but with Peace...Peace…Peace.
Say: "O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins, for He is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Turn to your Lord (in repentance) and submit to Him, before the chastisement comes on you: After that you will not be helped. And follow the best of that which was revealed to you from your Lord, before the chastisement comes on you suddenly while you perceive not! Lest the soul should then say: "Ah! woe is me! that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was among those who mocked!" -or (lest) it should say: "If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been among the righteous!" -
or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the chastisement: "If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!"
(the reply will be): Nay, but My signs came to you and you rejected them: you were haughty, and became one of those who rejected faith! (Quran 39:53-59).
The mortal of our world if continued in this way will be caused by two main factors:
(1)
The turning away of youth from marriage due to the happy life of the friendship relation and in turn the decrease of the human population. On the other hand; the marriage of women at a very late age (35years) which is not healthy for the children.(2)
The continuity of wars which have two destructive results: (A) the direct death of youth and men in the field of war, this leads to increase in the number ofwomen and decrease in the number of men. (B) an increase in the percentage of pollution in the atmosphere including the radiation and the harmful gases caused by these wars. In such case the future generation will be partially or totally deformed and consequently unable to reproduce and get children.As a result, we will return to a human law obliging each man to marry four women or more according to his ability in order to enhance and increase the generations and prevent the human lineage from extinction. And the people will carry out this law happily without argument!
Finally, I put some suggestions to end such wars on our earth:
(1)
The heads and good men of the three religions who are aware of the truths of the religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) can sit together and subtract such controversy in the rules which are supposed to have been descended from one God. They can then select to us one way to follow, the way which leads to the paradise.Say: O people of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship None but Allah; that we associate No partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, lord and patrons other than Allah.
If then they turn back, say you: Be witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's will). (Quran 3:64).
(2)
To live together in peace and each one worships the god he wants. But this is a passive solution because it doesn't lead to the paradise since everyone wants to know the truth to that God. On the other hand; Allah says in the Quran that our life will not be ended unless all the people on the surface of the earth believe in Him the Creator of that universe who has no human character, no son and no human being can see him.(3)
To put the three religions together and believe them all as coming from the Creator of this universe. But this means Islam and no one will accept it!O people! worship Your Lord who has created you and those before you; so that you may ward off (evil). (Quran 2:21).
The Messenger believed in that which has been revealed unto him from His Lord and so do the believers. Each of them believes in Allah and His Angels and His Scriptures and His Messengers, we make no distinction between any of His Messengers and they say we hear and we obey. (grant us) the forgiveness, Our Lord! unto You is the journeying. (Quran 2:285).
(4)
To leave the problem to the fortune-Teller in order to solve it with her shells and sand!This is a clear message for people in order that they may take warning therefrom, and may know that He is only one God and let men of understanding take heed. (Quran 14:52).
