Worshiping GOD Alone:

Universal Faith

Our existence on this earth represents our last chance to recognize with our free will that God is our Lord and Master, and that He has no partner in His Kingdom (6:163). There is none that equals Him (112:4). We are here to be tested under different circumstances to redeem ourselves with our righteous works (3:186). Even though God put in each of us the instinct to worship Him alone (30:30), He sent further instructions on what He expects us to do, as a mercy from Him. Thus, God sent messengers and prophets that communicated to us His revelations.

Submission:

Same message for all

All messengers and prophets of God brought the same message: There is no god but God, and He is the only one worthy of worship. Therefore, whoever believes in this message, believes in the Hereafter and leads a righteous life, God gives them their recompense (2:62, 5:69). They are all submitters to the will of God. There is no social, racial or religious exclusivity in being a submitter. All submitters, men or women, are equal in the sight of God. What distinguishes them is

their degree of righteousness which is judged only by God (49:13). Therefore, one of the traits of the submitters is that they compete towards righteousness while respecting others (2:148).

God’s scriptures

The Quran is the Final Testament from God. It has been perfectly preserved in its original language, Arabic. It contains the most resourceful methods and exemplary stories for our salvation to Heaven; it is therefore a tool or recipe containing guidance.However, we learn from the Quran that previous scriptures, David’s Psalms, the Torah and Jesus’ Gospel are also beacons and guidance (5:46, 21:48). There will be people who will make it to heaven through these scriptures of God by worshiping Him alone, in spite of the innovations and misrepresentations that may have happened through time. In the same way, there are people who come to worship God alone through a “bad” translation of the Quran or the distortions in the religion of Islam (2:62, 5:69).

If a person’s heart is open to submission, God guides that person even if he or she is in the midst of an idol worshiping community, no matter what the circumstances are, as exemplified by Prophet Abraham and Pharaoh’s wife.

Only God can guide

We cannot guide anyone regardless of how hard we try, if the person is destined to be misguided. The bottom line is that God is the only one who guides people in accordance with the knowledge He has about them (28:56). Of course, that does not mean we should not do anything. On the contrary, we should do the best we can to spread the message, but should not despair or get upset if our efforts seem to be disregarded or ignored

by the people. God still gives us credit for taking the initiative by His infinite mercy (8:17).

Invitation to Submission

God gives us clear instructions to treat each other in the best possible manner, for Satan will try to drive a wedge between the submitters (17:53). When dealing with other people, God wants us to debate with them amicably and invite them to His path with wisdom and kind enlightenment (16:125).

There should not be any compulsion in religious conviction (2:256). People should have total freedom to embrace the only religion approved by God (3:19). That is the religion of peace and submission. It is the ultimate state of faith unifying all those who worship only the One God, the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

This is summed up with the basic message to us from God through His messengers and scriptures: Worship God alone, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mark 12:29-30, Quran 3:18).

[29:46] Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our godProclaiming

One Unified Religion

for All the People

All religions of the world — Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others — have been severely corrupted through innovations, traditions, and the idolization of humans such as the prophets and the saints.

God's plan, as stated in the Old Testament (Malachi 3:1), the New Testament (Luke 17:22-36 & Matthew 24:27), and this Final Testament (3:81), calls for the sending of God's Messenger of the Covenant after all the scriptures have been delivered. The main function of God's Messenger of the Covenant is to purify the scriptures and unify them into one universal message to this world from the Creator and Sustainer of this world.

This major scriptural prophecy has now been fulfilled. God's Messenger of the Covenant has arrived, supported by overwhelming tangible proof (see Appendix Two). The purification and unification process has begun. God's plan is supported by God's invisible forces, and the enormous dimensions of this divine plan is manifest in the recent exposure of false religionists, and the removal of such anti-freedom barriers as the Berlin Wall, the Iron Curtain, and the bamboo curtain.

Henceforth, there is only one religion acceptable to God - Submission. Anyone who submits to God and devotes the worship to God ALONE is a "Submitter." Thus, one may be a Jewish Submitter, a Christian Submitter, a Buddhist Submitter, a Hindu Submitter, or a Muslim Submitter.

The only religion acceptable to God is Submission. [3:19]

Anyone who seeks other than Submission as his religion,

it will not be accepted from him and, in the Hereafter,

he will be with the losers. [3:85]

A prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your kinsmen; to him you shall listen.

(Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15)

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen, and will put My words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him. If any man will not listen to My words which he speaks in My name, I Myself will make him answer for it.

(Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete - to be with you always: THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

(Jesus in John 14:16-17)

When THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH comes to you, he will guide you to all truth, and will announce to you the things to come.

(Jesus in John 16:13)

God's Messenger of the Covenant

Lo, I am sending My messenger to prepare the way before Me; and suddenly there will come to the temple the Lord whom you seek, and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? For he is like the refiner's fire ... he will sit purifying ....

(Malachi 3:1-3)

When God ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned besides Him, they rejoiceIn the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This is God's final message to humanity. All of God's prophets have come to this world, and all the scriptures have been delivered. The time has come to purify and consolidate all the messages delivered by God's prophets into one message, and to proclaim that henceforth, there is only one religion acceptable to God, "Submission" (3:19, 85). "Submission" is the religion whereby we recognize God's absolute authority, and reach an unshakeable conviction that God ALONE possesses all power; no other entity possesses any power that is independent of Him. The natural result of such a realization is to devote our lives and our worship absolutely to God ALONE. This is the First Commandment in all the scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, and this Final Testament.

Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is One God!

 Therefore you shall adore the Lord your God

 with all your heart,

 with all your soul,

 with all your mind,

 and with all your strength.   [Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mark 12:29-30, Quran 3:18]

 Let us meditate on God, His glorious attributes,

 who is the basis of everything in this universe as its Creator,  

 who is fit to be worshiped as Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient

 and self existent conscious being,

 who removes all ignorance and impurities from the mind

 and purifies and sharpens our intellect.  [Gayatri Mantra, Yajur Veda] 

While every religion has been corrupted by innovations, traditions, and false, idolatrous doctrines, there may be "Submitters" within every religion. There may be Submitters who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or anything else. These Submitters, collectively, constitute the only religion acceptable to God. As emphasized by the theme on the front page of this book, all Submitters who are devoted to God ALONE, and do not set up any idols beside God, are redeemed into God's eternal kingdom (2:62). A criterion of the true submitters is that they will find nothing objectionable in the Quran.

With the advent of this Testament, God's message to the world is now complete. We have now received the long awaited answers to our most urgent questions—who we are, the purpose of our lives, how we came into this world, where do we go from here, which religion is the right one, was it evolution or creation, etc.
