Islam and Sahaja Yoga

[Guest guest]

Dear SYs,

 

Of all the religions perhaps Islam is the most ostracized by reason

of history - forced conversions, kafir fundamentalism and prone to

violence.

 

" The Prophet had to face critics in his lifetime and continues to do

so until today. His enemies in Makkah had said that he was 'a man

possessed', 'a soothsayer', and 'a poet'. They condemned the Quran

as ' a forgery' or 'sorcery' containing old stories stolen by him.

Medieval Christian priests rightly saw the Prophet as central to

Islam and attacked him with religious frenzy. For them he was the

Antichrist. Stories circulated by the church projected him as a

debauch, a charlatan and the ultimate enemy of Christ. They served

to rally people, especially in the face of a seemingly unstoppable

Islam. If he did not exist he would have to be invented by the

church.

 

Dante placed the Prophet in the inferno in his Divine Comedy. For

Luther there were 'two archenemies of Christ': the Prophet and the

Pope. Voltaire's play Mahomet, written in 1742, was another

grotesque misinterpretation. The Prophet thus became the lightning

rod for all kinds of social, political and religious ills of Islam

as seen by the Christian West over the centuries. "

 

(Professor Akhbar S. Ahmed, pg. 27, Islam Today)

 

However, i was very fortunate as my birth was in Malaysia and the

Muslims there are amongst the most pious, humble and friendly

humans. Thus i can view them with a more passionate eye.

 

Moreover, since the Quran declares that God's messengers will spread

His Call to the Resurrection, as the SYs are doing today, it has

made acceptance of Islam much easier. Contrary to what Muslims may

one day raise as an issue for accepting Qiyamah, there is absolutely

no need for conversion - we SYs are surrendered to God Almighty by

submission to the Call of Resurrection. We are Muslims in the truest

sense of the word.

 

Since i have been born many a times, rebirth after rebirth on this

earth, i must have been Muslim in a few or more of my previous

lives. The followers of all different faiths must certainly have

experienced other traditions. It is only after knowing Shri Mataji

and meditating for years that it has been easy to accept all the

messengers and religions. As long as humans are religious will the

animosity and dislike for other religions remain. Only those on the

spiritual level - yogis, sufis, gnostics, kaballists - will be able

to overcome their inherited prejudices.

 

However, only the message of the Last Judgment and Resurrection will

force humanity to love one another unconditionally, the vision of

Shri Mataji projected through Sahaja Yoga. There will be no Hindus,

Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists or Sikhs, just humans following

the will of God Almighty. Nothing else will change the religious

masses, even after centuries of bloodshed, violence and hatred. This

change will be forced upon them for the sake of salvation, paradise,

afterlife or moksa. Humans need a highly rewarding incentive to

change - the promise of an eternal afterlife must be good enough.
