Welcome to Ahmadiyyat, The True Islam — Page 59
− His Glory and Grandeur. The Holy Prophet kept repeating these words sa so forcefully that the pulpit started shaking and we were concerned lest it should collapse under him. (Musnad Ahmad) ± Hadrat Promised Messiah and Mahdi writes about the Oneness of as ± ± − God: "The mere lip-service of the Oneness of God does not attract the blessings that are linked with the true profession of Oneness of God, along with other essentials, i. e. the appropriate deeds. It is quite true that the belief in the Oneness of God is a strong pillar to which a true Muslim and every other person who really and truly fears God should hold fast, but there is another aspect of this belief also and that is the love of God. One should love God. The main aim of the teachings of the Holy Qur’an is that just as − God is One, without any partner, He should also be One without partner in the matter of our love. All the Prophets have been teaching the same thing; that has been the main subject of their propagation. ɼ»A ÜA É»A Ü ä Õ ì ê ä Ð ê ä There is none worthy of worship except Allah − La ilaha illallah teaches us to believe God to be One, and at the same time − − − it also implies that one should be perfect in the love of this One God. La − ilaha illallah is so beautiful a sentence, and so meaningful that the like of it − − is not to be found in any of the Scriptures, be it Torah or the Gospels or any other Book; no other Book contains so comprehensive a teaching. Ilah − means the Beloved who is worshipped. This is the fundamental point of Islam and it denotes complete and perfect love. It should be remembered − well that if one believes in the Oneness of God, but does not love Him, hisbelief is faulty and incomplete. " 59
