In the last sura revealed through prophet Muhammad, we read: [110:1] When triumph comes from GOD, and victory. [110:2] You will see the people embracing GOD's religion in throngs. [110:3] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer. This is wonderful news for the Submitters and Believers, and naturally, we are eager to see it happen in our lifetime.

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 be...

All the scriptures of God have the same basic and universal message reflecting the first and greatest commandment of all: “There is only one God.

You shall not have other gods besides Me” (Deut. 5:6-7). One of the scribes came up, and when he heard them arguing he realized how skillfully Jesus answered them. He decided to ask him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied: “This is the first ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength’ ” (Mark 12:28-30. See also Deut. 6:4-5). We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration: “There is no God except Me; you shall worship Me alone” (Qura...
