So Says The Promised Messiah (peace be on him) The gist of our faith is: 'There is no God to be worshipped but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. " Our paradise is in our God. Our highest delight is in our God for we have seen Him and have found every beauty in Him. This wealth is worth procuring though one may have to lay down one's life to procure it. That leader of ou rs from whom radiates all light. His name is Muhammad, he is the one, who has captivated my heart. Indeed, I am sold, entirely, on this light. Wholly and completely am I devoted to it. In my mind there are no reservations! He alone is the one that counts; while I amount absolutely to nothing. This alone is the basic truth, this alone the final verdict! I have been made to understand that of all the Messengers, the one who gave the most perfect and purest of teachings, full of wisdotn, and the one who exhibited in him the noblest of human qualities is the Holy Prophet Muhammad, our lord and master (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). If you want that God shou ld be pleased with you in heaven, unite and be one like two brothers of the same mother. Nobler is he among you who forgives the sins of his brother more than others and doomed is he who is stubborn and does not forgive. He has nothing in common with me. None of the true Muslims who ever liv ed maintained that force should be employed in the spread of Islam. On the other hand, Islam has always flourished on the strength of its inherent qualities of excellence. Righteousness means that a person should, to the best of his abilit y, discharge his responsibilities regarding his faculties and covenant of faith with God as a sacred trust. Also he sh ou ld pay full regard to what he owes to his fellow human beings and to all that is created by God as a trust imposed on him. That suffering which pleases God is better than that pleasure which displeases Him. That defeat which pleases God is better than the victory which earns His displeasure. I proclaim to all Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Aryas, that I have no enemy in the world. I love mankind with the love that a compassionate mother has for her children; even more so. I am the enemy of on ly the false doctrines which kill truth. Human sympathy is my duty. My principle is to discard falsehood. I reject paganism, wrongdoing, misconduct, injustice and immorality. The Holy Qur'an is a miracle the like of which never was and never will be. The age of its blessings and bounties is everlasting. It dictates of truth and human nature. The doctrines it propounds are so perfect and well founded that they are entirely supported by powerful and irrefutable evidence. Its injunctions are based on nothing but the truth. It s teachings are completely free from adulteration or idolatry, innovation and creature worship.
