Message Of Quran
Nawaz
The Quran reminds us that in reality humankind was one Ummah but this
unity was broken by various differences which the human beings created
among themselves surah 10 verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the
main purpose of sending God's message through various Messengers is to
restore back the balance and unity of humankind which once existed in
the earliest period of human history - Quranic reference 2:213 &
57:25. The Quran warns us not to differentiate among Messengers
Quranic reference 2:285 & 4:136, because all of them came from the
same source, Allah Almighty. But the followers of the Messengers Peace
upon all of them not only created differences among the Messengers but
they also created divisions among themselves within the following of a
single Messenger. As other people, we the followers of Messenger
Mohammad peace be upon him have also created divisions among
ourselves. We have done this in spite of the very clear order of Allah
Almighty to hold on to His rope together in unity and not be divided
among ourselves Surah 3 verse 103.
As a matter of fact, we mostly follow the illusions built by our
emotions surah 25 verse 43 and the ways of our ancestors surah 2 verse
170 rather than the Quranic reality. This is because whenever we are
confronted with the Quranic verses which clearly forbid differences
and divisions among Muslims, we find a scapegoat and reply that we are
not divided but we only have several schools of thought. In reality
though, these are not schools of thought but are schools of action.
Only a few examples will suffice to support this argument: differences
in what is forbidden and what is allowed by various schools as far as
food is concerned; differences in forms of prayer; differences related
to marriage and divorce etc. Everyone will agree that these
differences whether major or minor are not just in thought but very
much in action also. Majority of Muslims though like to believe in
ignoring these religious differences and divisions and carry on with
their lives. However our religious scholars are more interested in
maintaining these differences by creating a sense of virtual unity
that hides their sectarian differences. They prefer not to work for
real unity because it exposes their differences. In fact, they are
more interested in practicing virtual Islam rather than the real Islam
our Messenger peace be upon him and Sahaabaa practiced. This makes
every one feel satisfied,does'nt whether more or less.

Hmmm, let's think about that. If I'm God, and I want to give a message
to ALL men of ALL places for ALL time, what method of imparting that
message should I choose? Should I choose to speak solely to some Arab
in the 6th century, given the limitations of language and location and
time, or should I speak maybe to one "prophet" in every reasonable
location in every language known to man so that there is no problem
with translation, or, what the heck - I'm God, so I can do anything,
I'll just speak to every single individual simultaneously. That would
be fair.
Now, let's say God is a fake. He's just something I made up to get
people to do what I want. Having me as prophet is my only recourse,
since, of course, I'm only human. I just have to use my powers of
persuasion to try to convince people that although god COULD speak to
everyone in every language (that would be the fair way), he has chosen
to speak only to me. If someone asks why only me, um, maybe I'll have
them killed or something...
