The Religion of Truth and God’s Unity In this age, people express a strong aversion when they hear the word ‘religion’ and to accept the true religion is as if they were entering the jaws of death. A true religion is one to which the ‘hidden law’ testifies as well. For example, we put forth the concept presented by Islam known as the Unity of God, and claim that this is the true teaching of the Divine. This is because the teaching instilled in the very disposition of man is that of God’s Unity. A view of nature also bears testi- mony to this effect. God Almighty has made His creation individually distinct, but pulls them to a unified centre, which demonstrates that it was unity that was always intended. If one releases a droplet of water, they will see that it is spherical in form. The moon, sun and all the celestial bodies are round, and the spherical form necessitates oneness. Trinity On this occasion, I leave aside the discussion of countless gods because this con- cept is a clearly absurd and senseless belief. For if there were innumerable gods, as some believe, this would create havoc in the world. However, I would like to mention the Trinity. I have demonstrated from the phenomenon observed in na- ture that God is One. Now, if God were three, as the Christians assert, God for- bid, water, flames of fire, and the bodies in heaven and earth ought to have been triangular, so that the universe would bear witness to the Trinity. The light of the heart can never attest to the concept of Trinity. When Christian priests are asked whether people would be judged by belief in Trinity or Unity, in places where the Gospels have not reached, they have openly conceded that such people will be judged on their belief in God’s Unity. In fact, Dr Pfander has put this admis- sion to writing in his book. Now, in the presence of this clear testimony, I cannot understand why anyone would advocate belief in the doctrine of Trinity. Not to mention that these three gods are strange indeed, for each of them has different duties. In other words, each God in itself is deficient and incomplete, and each god completes the other.
