Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Dear Believers of the Last Judgment and Resurrection, i have extracted this quote from an Islamic website which points in the same direction that Shri Mataji has been pointing for the last three decades. " One of the constant themes of the Qur'an is that of the people that Allah has destroyed, because of their wickedness and rebellion, and the example to be taken from them. Certainly, there is a great similarity between those societies of the past and our present time. In our day, there are people whose attitude and way of life surpasses even the sexual perversion of the people of Lut, the deceitfulness of the people of Madyan, the arrogance and mocking of the people of Nuh, the rebelliousness and wickedness of the people of Thamud, the ungratefulness of the people of Iram, as with the comportment of various other societies that have been destroyed. The evident reason for all this moral degeneration is that people have forgotten Allah and the purpose of their creation. The murder, social injustice, treachery, deceit and moral degeneration in the age we live in has even driven some people to despair. But, it must not be forgotten that the Qur'an commands us not to despair of the help of Allah. Despair and despondency are not acceptable modes of thought for believers. Allah announces that those who serve him purely, without associating any of His creatures as divinities besides Him, and do good works to win his favor, will be endowed with power and authority. Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. " They worship Me, not associating anything with Me. " Any who are disbelievers after that, such people are deviators. (Surat an-Nur: 55) In a number of verses, it also says that it is a divine law that those servants who are faithful and live the true religion in their hearts will be made the inheritors of the world: We wrote down in the Psalms, after the Reminder came: " It is My righteous servants who will inherit the earth. " (Surat al-Anbiya': 105) We will leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My threat. (Surah Ibrahim: 14) We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong. Their messengers brought them the Clear Signs, but they were never going to believe. That is how We repay evildoers. Then We made you their successors on the earth so We might observe how you would act. (Surah Yunus: 13-14) Musa said to his people, " Seek help in Allah and be steadfast. The earth belongs to Allah. He bequeathes it to any of His servants He wills. The successful outcome is for those who do their duty. " They said, " We suffered harm before you came to us and after you came to us. " He said, " It may well be that your Lord is going to destroy your enemy and make you the successors in the land so that He can see how you behave. " (Surat al-A`raf: 128-129) Allah has written, " I will be victorious, I and and My messengers. " Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala: 21) Together with the good news announced in the verses above, Allah has made a very important promise to believers. He reveals in the Qur'an that the religion of Islam was sent to humanity to be superior to all religions. They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the disbelievers detest it. It is He Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the True Religion to exalt it over every other religion, even though the idolators detest it. (Surat at-Tawba: 32-33) They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths but Allah will perfect His Light, though the disbelievers hate it. It is He Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the True Religion to exalt it over every other religion, though the idolaters hate it. (Surat as-Saff: 8-9) There is no doubt that Allah will keep His promises. The high morality that will conquer perverse philosophies, distorted ideologies and false religious understanding is Islamic morality. The verses quoted above stress that the disbelievers and pagans cannot prevent this from happening. This period, in which Islamic morality will be established, will be in every way a time of love, self-sacrifice, generosity, honesty, social justice, security and personal well-being. This period has been called the Golden Age because of its similarity to depictions of Paradise, but, so far, such an age has never yet existed. This blessed age will precede the Last Day; and is now awaiting that time in which Allah has determined it will come. http://www.signsofthelastday.com/1_supremacyofIslam.html " So where are Her messengers who were supposed to declare this Golden Age to humanity for the last 30 years? Where are Her ganas who were to fearlessly announce Her Advent? Why is that even Her advanced age does not stir so-called realized souls to stand up and uphold the Dharma? Never in the history of humankind have so many behaved so cowardly in a civilized age, when the Savior stood all alone against an entire violent nation during the dark barbaric ages for the sake of Truth! Are we not ashamed of ourselves?!!!} jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
