What’s God’s Purpose of Creation? Islam? Christianity? Judaism? Hinduism?

What’s God’s Purpose of Creation? Islam? Christianity? Judaism? Hinduism?

In our own way, we have been trying our best to publicise the fact that Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi is the awaited Imam Mehdi.

Whatever way we have done it was like a cricket match in which you win the toss and elect to bat. You play the first inning and you have no total to chase. You just play and give the other team a target.

In a similar way, we have been trying to promote the divine signs and Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi’s doctrine of divine love. Now, the game has changed. There is another claimant in the market. This contender who claims to be Imam Mehdi is from Wahhabi cult: the notorious Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. Al Baghdadi has been promoting himself as Amir ul Momineen (Leader of the Faithful Ones). He has sent messages to different terrorist organisations to pledge allegiance to him and accept him as the promised Imam Mehdi.

We now know how to manoeuvre ourselves. We can look at what al Baghdadi is doing against the Quran and Prophetic Traditions, and then bring it forward to show it to the public. We can tell the public, ‘This is what Prophetic Traditions say and this is what he is doing.’

When you know the target, it becomes easy; you can plan it well. For example, the other team elected to bat and made 250 runs in 50 overs. Most probably, your plan would be that you need to make five runs per over, so you would tell your openers to spend as much time on the crease as possible and not to worry about the average. They would just need to stay there and guard the wickets. If you’re on the crease, runs come by, even if you don’t make efforts: wide balls, no balls, byes; there is no bowler in the world who doesn’t give you a loose delivery in one over. You have to wait for that loose delivery and hit a boundary. So your plan would be to go with the flow until 25 overs are done, and then go berserk.

In a similar way, now we know what he is doing and what credentials he has to present to the world as divine endorsement. One big benefit that we are going to reap from all this is that the entire world knows that they are terrorists and enemies of humankind. Even Muslims hate them.

Anybody who comes from God, comes to unite hearts. They come to make an everlasting bond between human beings and connect people with God.

However, what these lunatics from the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and ISIS are doing is totally against any religion. Forget about Islam; what they’re doing is totally opposite to any set of beliefs.

Forcing people to worship cannot be Islam. According to the Quran, there is no compulsion in the religion. You cannot force people to be good. In the eyes of God, hearts are shown and the real intent of the heart is shown.

The notion of spreading Islam under the shadow of a sword or gun is totally absurd.

Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi has brought down the gist of all religions.

There was a companion of Prophet Mohammad, called Abu Dhar al-Ghifari. He was a very close companion of the Prophet. He was not a strict worshipper; he would give more priority to keeping company of the Prophet Mohammad rather than spending any of his time in worship. Some other companions of the Prophet started to complain to Prophet Mohammad, saying, ‘He is very close to you but we have never seen him in Salat (prayer).’ Prophet Mohammad summoned him and asked, ‘Why don’t you offer salat?’ he said, ‘I do offer Salat.’  One of the companions said, ‘When we finish the Salat, we don’t find him around us.’ Ghifari said, ‘O’ Messenger of God, I heard it from you that the gist of Salat is in prostration. Even in the Quran, God said, “When you prostrate to me, it is like you are discreetly speaking with me.” When I have found the gist of Salat, why should I waste my time in any other activity? I prostrate, speak to God, and go home.’

Similarly, the main thing in every religion is God’s love. The rest is a set of rituals.

God is not going to benefit from how long your beard is or what perfume you’re wearing. It has nothing to do with God.

Love is something that would touch God’s heart. Love is a bond between your heart and God. When you are in love with God, you are in God’s eyes.

Practice of rituals and a religion is carried out for one reason: after having everything done which is known as rituals or worship, you become able to obtain God’s love in your heart.

If the practice of your religion does not produce a result of filling your heart with God’s love, then that practice becomes futile.

We are living in an era where people are looking for a shortcut. People want to become millionaires and saints of God overnight. They don’t want to go to the jungle and spend 24 or 36 years. We now have so many facilities like the iPhone, FaceTime and iMessage. It is very rare that people use desktops these days because the iPhone is doing everything. Since the advancement of technology, man has become really cunning and clever.

People are seeking a concise and precise way of obtaining God.

When you have an illness which is stopping you from your pattern of life, and you temporarily develop limitations and dependency, you want to get rid of it. You want to get well overnight. Pharmaceutical companies have learnt what a man thinks when he takes medicine; therefore, they advertise, ‘This medicine will work in five minutes,’ or ‘This medicine will work in ten minutes.’ You have to calculate human nature and human psychology. The moment people take medicine, they are counting; if it doesn’t work quickly, they say, ‘Throw this medicine in the trash bin. I don’t want this, it is not working!’

When you want to love God and obtain God, you go to a mosque, temple or church; you are worshipping God, but you don’t see any result. Those who are doing this because they must do it, and they have no set goal, will keep doing it. Those who really want to love God and obtain God’s nearness, the moment they start worshipping, they will ask questions. ‘When will I get near to God? I have been to the mosque five times a day and I didn’t feel him near.’ You want the results!

Let me tell you a very important thing which will let you understand why spirituality is the best medicine for you. Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi said, ‘You adopt any religion and you do good deeds: you worship, give to charity, and give alms, but the reward of this will be given to you on the Day of Judgement.’ The reward of any worship will not be given to you while you are still alive. It is in pending, in the pipeline.

For example, you go to the mosque five times a day. You study the Quran, Bible, Torah, Talmud, Bhagvad Gita and all Vedas. You go to a temple. You do charity work. You feed your neighbour and you feed your enemy. Do anything, but the reward will not be given to you in this world.

However, in spirituality, Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi said, ‘Adopt spirituality and start working on it; it is like pay-as-you-go. The more you purify yourself, the closer you will feel to God. The reward is given here.’

The reward which will be given to you against your worship and loyalty to your religion will be in form of you entering paradise; but the reward given to you when you are in spirituality will be given to you in form of God’s love and nearness.

When you have God in your heart, nothing is more attractive or appealing – unless you are a Wahhabi.

The Wahhabi mentality and Wahhabi doctrine: their aim is to have intercourse with virgin girls in paradise. It is a filthy, lustful doctrine. If they’re cutting throats of people, they’re not doing it for God; they’re not God’s warriors. God is not in need of them; if God wants to give death to people, he can do it without needing ISIS, Taliban or Al-Qaeda. When God does it, nobody complains to God. They say, ’It was a natural disaster.’ Look at how clever God is. He kills thousands of people and nobody says, ‘God did it.’ They say, ’It was an earthquake,’ or ‘Torrential rain, floods.’ If God wants to kill anybody, he will do it. Nobody will ever notice he did it.

You practise a religion and do everything good, but you don’t know what your end will be. When, on the Day of Judgement, it is decided whether you have achieved your goal of entering into paradise, your Book of Deeds will have been closed already. You will not be able to do anything good thereafter.

Spirituality is something that changes your character, that changes your heart. Here in this world, you receive the reward in form of becoming closer to God.

Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, the Awaited Imam Mehdi, has brought down spirituality. It is God’s plan; he does not want people to beat about the bush. Maybe God is clever and realised, ‘With the advancement of scientific technology, people have become so lazy; they want everything there and then. If I continue to behave with humanity in the same way I behaved with them 5000 years ago, maybe they would say, “We don’t want God.”’

God has changed himself because his market is running really low. God is not in demand anymore. God’s graph is going down, like oil these days. There was a time when oil was $158 dollars per barrel and now it is $28 per barrel.

A Christian wants to be a Christian. A Muslim wants to be a Muslim. A Hindu wants to be a Hindu. A Sikh wants to be a Sikh. A Jew wants to be a Jew. But thats not what they came here for!

Whether it is a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Sikh, they all came here to obtain God’s love, to recognise God. God said, ‘I created humanity, the entire universe for one reason: that they recognise me.’ This is God’s purpose.

All these individuals don’t seem to be bothered about God; they’re only bothered about their religions.

God has made some changes. He took the gist of every religion and now he has decided for humanity to practise love. The gist of Hinduism, Judaism and Islam is love; therefore, love is suitable for everybody. Whether you are a Jew or Christian, the principle requirement of every religion upon every single follower is that he or she must obtain God’s love. That is the culmination of every religion.

Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi has brought down God’s love; direct transmission from Lord Ra Riaz and his heart directly to your heart. You become a divine person and your heart starts to illumine with the candle of God’s love. When you love God, you cannot hate God’s creation.

That is the problem with every single religion today: they have forgotten the purpose of that religion. The purpose of Islam was not to make you a Muslim and make you loyal to your religion; the purpose of Christianity was not to make you loyal to Christianity.

The purpose of every religion was that you learn to love God and become godly.

You’re not becoming godly; you’re becoming rigid Muslims, Christians and Jews. That is not what God’s purpose was. God wanted everybody to love him, therefore this is God’s plan. In this plan, when humanity started, there was only one religion: Prophet Adam initiated humanity and he brought down love. There was no other religion when humanity started; it was one religion and one nation. Now, the Awaited One has come.

In between the two caliphs, Prophet Adam and Imam Mehdi, many prophets and messengers were sent; many religions were established. God is now weary and tired of all these religions and all these differences. God wants to return to the base, back to square one. There was only one religion, the religion of love, and one nation.

God wants the world to end on God’s love and humanity being one nation.

Words of Wisdom By Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi – Younus AlGohar

Words of Wisdom By Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi – Younus AlGohar

I would like to introduce the divine writing of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi.

Cover_of_The_Religion_of_God_by_Riaz_Ahmed_Gohar_Shahi,_Published_2012

The Religion of God (Divine Love) is the ultimate textbook on spirituality. This book was published by the Balboa Press in the United States of America. On the title page of the book is a piece of advice that reads, ‘This book requires unruffled concentration, attention, pondering and research from all religions, sects and every man. It poses a challenge to those who deny the existence of spirituality.’

This book not only talks about spirituality in unprecedented details, at the same time,it tells us the future.

It is so concise yet covers everything about God, prophets, saints, religions, you and me. There is nothing that exists that doesn’t exist in this book. It contains the untold mysteries and secrets of God.

Some books are just pastime; you read it, enjoy it and forget it. Some books guide you on how to live. But The Religion of God covers the past of God, the past of humanity, the present of humanity, the present of God, the future of humanity, and the future of God. It covers every single topic that can’t even be imagined; this is a super textbook on spirituality.

There may have been questions in your mind for many years for which you searched for answers, but realised that finding an answer is not possible. When you read this book, you will come to know that those questions which were stored in your mind are answered in The Religion of God.

The most important aspect of this book – which, of course, is the case of a divine book – is that when you read it, you feel as if you are connected with the author. You feel as if questions are popping up in your mind, but at the same time, answers are also popping up. The taste of the pudding is in eating it.

This book is the most valuable asset in the field of theology, spirituality and mysticism. No mystical truth is complete without it.

The universality of this book is such that a Jew and a Hindu will read this book and feel like [they are personally] being addressed. A Muslim will read this book and he should feel, although he hides it, that he is being addressed. An atheist will read this book and he will feel comfortable reading it; he will feel as if somebody is trying to sell him the idea of believing in God again.

An atheist will develop an attitude within himself that he is giving in to the truth that God exists; not because somebody is going to put forward a very solid argument, but because there are answers in this book which no religious scholar can come up with regarding the reasons why atheism came into existence. These people must have gone through an enormous amount of pain and turmoil; at the time of need, they called upon God and he didn’t reply to them or help them. So, as a result of this disappointment and feeling of being let down, they became rebellious and they completely denied the existence of God.

HDE Gohar Shahi has discussed sensitive issues and points in this book which may appear to be taboo subjects to a religious scholar.

HDE Gohar Shahi has been pretty much fair. When religious scholars write about God, it is like the have been bribed by God. They will keep praising God; they are biased. Being a human being, you will definitely be biased to God and prejudiced to a sinner. The Religion of God tell you about the existence and nature of God; it also tells you where God was not himself and people who were looking up to God were let down or disappointed.

So, when an atheist reads this book he will think, ‘Whoever this person is, he is not an advocate of God; he is a fair mediator, trying to make a bridge between man and God and in trying to do so, he is impartial.’ HDE Gohar Shahi is such a unique mediator between man and God that he pinpoints God when he is wrong and pinpoints man when he is wrong. The reader, if he is an atheist, will feel, ‘I am in a court which is unbiased, where the judge is impartial and this judge is not just impartial he is a universal mediator.’ 

If HDE Gohar Shahi convinces you to believe in God, you can simply call him the advocate of God.

In this day and age, a person alleged of a crime will need a lawyer, advocate or barrister to convince the judiciary system. Similarly, God needs a barrister today. Religious scholars who were meant to be advocates turned out to be pimps. HDE Gohar Shahi sees both parties, man and God with an equal eye.

This is such a wonderful book. It is available on Amazon. Those who live in Canada can get it at Chapters and in the USA, it is available at Barnes & Nobles. In the United Kingdom, you can order it from Waterstone’s or WH Smith.  

The Reason Man Becomes a Terrorist

Oftentimes, we hear in the newspapers, on TV, or on the radio that some people are being radicalised with some kind of hateful doctrine.

It is really interesting to know that in order for a person to become radicalised, they do not need a special hateful knowledge or doctrine.

According to God, God created everything in pairs: men and women, day and night, truth and falsehood, light and darkness, inner and outer, etc.

In a similar way God created knowledge and paired it up: the outer knowledge and the inner knowledge. It is the knowledge of the exterior and the knowledge of your interior, the inner dimension and the outer dimension.

His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi says, ‘The outer knowledge is incomplete without inner knowledge.’

A man is incomplete without a woman and a woman is incomplete without a man. The case is the same for outer knowledge without the inner.

HDE Gohar Shahi explains, ‘The outer knowledge hardens the heart. The inner knowledge softens the heart.’

When you are in pursuit of knowledge, you must obtain both types of knowledge. If you obtain outer knowledge and ignore inner knowledge, you will become [another] Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, you will become Wahhabi, Shiite or Sunni.

Words are very dangerous because when you speak words, your intention are not included in those words. Your words come out and the intention of using those words remains in your heart.

For example, someone is a prophet, the door is open and it is cold outside – so they say to their companion, ‘Shut the door.’ At the same time, another person is coming and wants to come in the house, but he thinks, ‘When they saw me, they shut the door.’ Nobody knows why the door was shut. The prophet asked his companion to shut the door because it was cold, not because he did not want anybody to come in. But people will just repeat the words said.

This is how the Quran is without Mohammad. You only have the words of God, not the intentions of God; this is outer knowledge. You have the spoken word of God but you do not know the reason and intention of God.

If you had the interior knowledge as well, that knowledge would have connected your heart with God; whenever you would read God’s words, God intention would fall upon our heart and you would know the real interpretation of God’s words.

You do not need a special doctrine of hatred to become hateful like ISIS. 

If you have outer knowledge of any religion but lack the spiritual knowledge which connects the heart with God, one day, you will become Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. You are on the way to becoming [part of] ISIS.

Without Sufism and spirituality, you are on the autopilot. The inner knowledge is very important. If you do not have inner knowledge, no matter who you are, whether you are Shiite, Sunni or Wahhabi, one day, you will become a terrorist. There are Shiite organisations involved in terrorism, but Wahhabis have gone one step ahead of everybody else; they are professional killers. Iran is a terrorist country as well.

Terrorism is not just about killing people. The fundamental definition of terrorism is to keep people under terror and badly affect and disturb their quality of life.

There was a time when you could travel in a car with your wife and children and the police wouldn’t bother you. At the airports, if you are with your children and wife they wouldn’t bother you too much. They thoughts, ‘If he is travelling with his wife and with small children, he can’t be a terrorist.’ But then, even women became terrorists and they used even children. So now, whether you’re travelling with your family, there’s no exemption. Times have changed.

If a woman was wrapped up in veiling, you would be scared that she can explode anytime. If a girl or woman would pass by you wearing jeans, you were relaxed, and did not think she was radicalised. But now, it is different. Terrorists are now giving new recruits a new manual in which they say, ‘Don’t change your name. Wear outfits like westerners. Don’t grow beards. Drink alcohol, sleep around.’ There’s no mark of distinction between the two. You’ll never know [who has been radicalised].

What happened in Paris on two occasions was death. But terrorism is that people are afraid of visiting Paris. They are under terror.

When you want to go somewhere and you sense a threat, you postpone it.. After the events in Paris and San Bernardino, there were so many hoaxes on airplanes; it was terror.

You don’t need a bomb or gun to terrorise people. It’s a psychological battle and it is very easy. 

So terrorists have been successful. We say, ‘We are not afraid, we stand united,’ but these are just words. Human beings have a psychological weakness in them: when they spot a danger, the first thing that comes to them is fear or attack.

To spread terror is in your nature. On a local level or larger level, you are a terrorist. The only way you can overcome your ugly nature is to adopt spirituality which will soften your heart and transform you into a good human being.

Utterances of HDE Gohar Shahi:

In the End Times, God will send forth one of the above mentioned souls. He will find  and  unite  them  together.  And  He  will  remind  them  that  they  also once loved God. All such souls whether or not they are religious will attend to his call, and flock around Him. He will grant them a unique name of God, which will pass through their hearts and settle in their souls. The souls will constantly engage with the repetition of that name (the soul will become  a  permanent  Dhakir).  The  unique  name  of  God  will  confer  on them a brand new enthusiasm, a new power and a new definition of love. The Noor (Divine Energy) of the unique name of God will reconnect the soul with God.

Dhikr Qalb serves like an intermediary ladder to obtaining Dhikr Rouh  (invocation of the soul), just as the rituals of Salat (a form of worship) and fasting are means of obtaining the invocation of the heart. If the soul of an individual has learnt to invoke God, he is among those who shall have no fear of accountability and the Divine Scale on the Day of Judgement. The advanced stages of invocation and worship of soul confirm his elevated 

rank. Individuals that are progressing in spirituality from the heart towards the  soul  are  among  those  who  have  entered  the  Religion  of  God or are about to enter it. Their means of guidance is God’s Light, not the books. God’s  Light,  itself,  keeps  them  away  from  committing  sins.  And  those who, even by striving or by learning about it, are deprived of this spiritual status, are not included in this Spiritual League. Heretics are those that, without invocation of the heart and the soul, consider themselves among those  in  this  Spiritual  League  or  imitate  them.  The  means  of  salvation for common folks is worship and religion. The means of guidance are the celestial books. The means of intercession are through the Prophets and the Saints. Many Muslims do not accept the fact that the Saints can provide people with intercession to God. However, Prophet Mohammad advised his companions to request Owais Qarni to provide his Ummah (following) with intercession to God.

If the body of a car is beautiful but the engine is useless, the entire thing is useless. There used to be a British car known as a Rover. It was not a reliable car, but they replaced the engine in that car with a Honda engine. After this, sales soared. Basically, it’s about the engine, not the body. One who fixes the body of the car is like a person who has the outer knowledge; one who fixes the engine is like somebody who has the inner knowledge.

Similarly, outer knowledge tells you how to keep your body clean, behave yourself and perform rituals of the religion.

But the inner knowledge will awaken the human instinct in you. The inner knowledge will bring out to the surface all the humanly attributes which have been granted to your soul by God. 

From childhood, we heard that being a man is greater than being an angel. But all our lives, in all our societies, we have regarded angels as greater than us. In books we are greater, but in practical life they are greater. When we came to see HDE Gohar Shahi and HDE told us about this, we realised that there is a special knowledge which will make man greater than an angel.

If you do not have that knowledge, you are not even great – forget about being greater than an angel. This is the knowledge of the heart, the knowledge of the soul and this knowledge connects you to God. 

Utterances of His Divine Eminence Ra Gohar Shahi

There  are  three  parts  of  exoteric  knowledge  and  one  part  of  esoteric knowledge (inner knowledge).

One  has  to  find  a  Moses  to  obtain  exoteric  knowledge  and  a  Khidr  to obtain esoteric knowledge from.

The  inspirational  voice  that  one  hears  without  the  presence  of  Gabriel is  known  as  Ilhaam.  The  knowledge  that  one  obtains  without  Gabriel accompanying it, is known as Sahifa (Divine Scroll) and Hadith Qudsee (conversation  with  God  without  a  medium).  The  knowledge  conveyed through the Gabriel is known as the Koran, whether it contains exoteric knowledge or esoteric knowledge, whether you call it the Torah, the Psalms of David or the Bible.

The religious scholars get away with their faults and errors by labelling it as politics. Faults and errors by the Saints are regarded and ignored as acts of  wisdom.  Faults  and  errors  by  the  Prophets  are  not  regarded  as  faults and errors.

The concerned souls inside the human body gain strength with whatever type  of  spiritual  practice  they  are  engaged  in.  And  those  that  are not engaged in any spiritual practice are dormant and senseless. And those that, through any means, have absorbed God’s name in their souls, their hobby is then constant remembrance of God (Dhikr-e-Sultani) and Rapturous Love of God (Ishq-e-Allah).

No wonder Iqbal said, ‘If you possess Rapturous Love of God, your kufr (ingratitude) is Islam (submission to God).’

Imam Mehdi will rejuvenate all the religions!

Mujaddid  (the  revivers)  emerged  within  Muslim  Ummah  in  the  post-Mohammadan  era,  and  they  revived  the  religion.  The  amendment  of these Mujaddid will become ineffective after the advent of Imam Mehdi. And Imam Mehdi will rejuvenate all religions in his very own way. It is mentioned in several books that Imam Mehdi shall found a brand new religion.

If an individual worships all his life, but in the end, he happens to oppose Imam  Mehdi  and  Jesus  Christ  (return  of  both  the  Personalities  to  this world  is  imminent;  Jesus  Christ  appears  with  the  same  body  as  he  was raised up with, and Imam Mehdi in the body with the terrestrial spirits of Prophet Mohammad), such an individual is hell-bound in the similitude of Balyim Ba’our, and he is as rejected by God as Iblis (the Devil) was.

On the contrary, if an individual lives all his life like a dog, but in the end, he happens to support and love Imam Mehdi and Jesus Christ, such an individual shall enter paradise in the similitude of Qatmir.

Some  of  the  religions  and  sects  say,  ‘Jesus  had  died,  and  his  tomb is situated in Afghanistan.’ This is a misleading propaganda. The tomb in Afghanistan is not that of Jesus Christ, but of a Saint whose name also is Isa. In that primitive age, what could have been the purpose of burial at such a far off place? They argue, ‘How was Jesus raised to the skies?’ We say, ‘How was Adam descended on Earth?’ Remember: Idrees (Enoch) still lives physically in paradise. Khidr (A mystical figure) and Ilyas (Elias) are present on Earth, and they haven’t tasted death yet.

The Muslim Reform Movement – A Realistic Cause?

The Muslim Reform Movement – A Realistic Cause?

Younus AlGohar passes his remarks about the realistic outcome of the Declaration of the Muslim Reform Movement, an initiative started by Muslims in Canada and around the world in response to the rise of Islamic terrorism.

Main points:

  • The cause is wonderful but it will not bring any change. Reforms have to come from the highest authority in Islam: God. It is not the duty of the people to reform Islam, but rather the duty of those delegated by God to make reformations.
  • In reality, what is written has not application, no implementation. It is not going to produce any results because the Muslim world will not accept this movement as an authority on Islam.
  • Certain points in the declaration are not reformations to be made in Islam but rather the opinions of individuals.
  • Islam cannot be reformed; it is damaged beyond repair. If reformations are to be made in Islam, they will be so lengthy that after the reforms, Islam will be changed unrecognisably.

Sectarian Division Pollutes the Concept of Imam Mehdi
19th January 2016|Articles

Sectarian Division Pollutes the Concept of Imam Mehdi

There are more than just one concept of Imam Mehdi due to sectarian division in Islam. The Shia (Iran) concept of Imam Mehdi is more like a fictitious story rather than being based on traditions of the Prophet Mohammad. Shia Islam has segregated from the mainstream religion and remains focused on the household of the Prophet Mohammad. Anyone outside the household of the Prophet is given considerably less or no importance at all. They believe the lost son of Imam Askari is the awaited Imam Mehdi.

Sunni Islam focuses on the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad and their concept of Imam Mehdi is strictly based on traditions of the Prophet only.

Wahhabis don’t accept the existence of the concept of Imam Mehdi. They, however, believe that a caliph will come to help them towards the end times.

None of the above mentioned concepts are realistic and authentic.

When a Religion Malfunctions
14th January 2016|ArticlesLecturesVideos

When a Religion Malfunctions

The world is full of problems and these problems are manmade. Some of these problems are the product of the world political structure and some of the problems are the product of desires of power, money and other worldly desires. Some of the problems are created by confusion among religions.

How a Religion Malfunctions

When a religion becomes spiritually deserted and is not spiritually nurtured by its founder and divinely anointed mentors, that religion becomes a monster. 

A religion has always been a very personal sort of thing; it is a connection between man and God. Islam is only about 1450 years old, as compared to others, it’s the latest religion and it is the last celestial religion. Christianity is almost 2100 years old and Judaism is more or less between 4000-5000 years old. Every religion, when the spiritual system expired in it, produced problems. When the divinely fixed validity of that religion expired, there came a by-product. For example, if you leave anything unattended, which is not supervised and maintained, it becomes corrupted.

Similarly, when a religion expires it simply means that it is not monitored by its founder spiritually. Anything that goes wrong with the philosophy of the religion and any adulteration made by its followers is not fixed by God or by its founder spiritually.

[The religion] becomes as dirty as a garbage bin. If there is a garbage bin and you throw all sorts of trash in it, when it stays that way, it becomes stinky. This is what happens to a religion when it has expired and it is not supervised by any spiritual authority, when it is not monitored by its custodian. When it is not maintained by God, it becomes a monster. It starts to malfunction.

religion is [there] to form the characters of its followers, teach them how to live in a society, maintain justice.

Nobody is to deprive anybody of their rights and there should be no discrimination, no killing and no dishonesty. With the help of the religion, you begin to respect everybody’s rights. For example, when we drive on the roads and we come to a mini roundabout, if you have passed your driving test in the United Kingdom, you would know that anybody coming from your right hand side has the right to pass first, and you have priority over the traffic which is coming from your left hand side. So, with this understanding, you reach a mini roundabout – and if somebody is not following these instructions, you start swearing. Why? It’s because somebody is depriving you of your right.

This deprivation of rights creates anger.

In the United Arab Emirates, you may be standing in a queue an hour, and all of a sudden, a white-costumed guy will come and jump the queue. If you tell him, ‘Why are you jumping the queue?’ He will say, ‘Because I am a national of this country.’ This is deprivation of rights.

When you live in a society [you have to follow the rules]. Before you are able to drive legally, you have to go through two different tests: the knowledge test in which you begin to understand what you can do and can’t do, what is safe for you and others, and what sign means what. When you have cleared the first test, then you take the practical test in which you are told about the rights of pedestrians. Pedestrian have more rights on the road than the drivers.

Knowledge is all about telling you what is good and what is bad. Now, it depends on you: if you are good, you will do good things and if you are bad you will do bad things.

In a similar way, religion is like a driving test. When you embark upon your journey in life, the first thing you do is go to school, pre-school, then high school and you begin to understand what your rights are, what you can and cannot do to others. But in the modern times, all these institution in the west are becoming helpless because moral and ethical values are not part of any curriculum. If you are studying science, you will become a scientist, but you don’t know how to live as a good human being, how to live happily, how to respect others and their rights. It’s because you don’t have the knowledge, you haven’t been trained. You don’t have the moral and ethical values, therefore, you only care about yourself and you become a self-centred person.

When you become corrupted, even with moral and ethical values, you become self-centred. You don’t want to follow the rules and regulations of life. 

If you read the Human Rights Charter of United Nations, you would think somebody wrote it after having read the Bible or Quran because it is so beautiful.

If somebody is in need, help them. If your neighbour is starving, go and give them food. If you don’t do that, then your relationship with your prophet or God, and your piety, will be greatly affected. This is how much taking care of a human being is valued in the religion.

But when extreme philosophies are introduced in the religion, when fanaticism plays havoc with the divine texts, when brains are hammered into with the wrong interpretations of the holy book, you become a monster.

You think you are in a race against all other human beings. You think you are the best, you are the holiest one and everybody else is an infidel. This is exactly what happened in the case of Islam.

I commented on one of the verses of Quran and the outcome of my commentary was that in the light of Quran, Christians and Jews are infidels. Now, a lot of Muslims are swearing at me but what I said is in the Quran, this is Islam.

Jews have a book called Torah, Christians have a book called Bible, Muslims have a book called Quran. Followers of these religions are called People of the Book. According to the Muslim faith, People of the Book can marry each other, they don’t have to change their religion. This means a Muslim man can marry a Jewish or Christian woman, or a Jewish man can marry a Christian or Muslim woman; this is in the Islamic faith.

What is being projected under the label of Islam is that Christians and Jews are your enemies and they are infidelsthis is a severe misleading and hateful propaganda conducted by Wahhabis only. 

If God is allowing Muslims to marry a Christian or a Jew, how can they make a Christian their wife or husband, not their friend? It is not even short-sightedness, it is blindness. Muslims should be more friendly to Jews because Jews come from [the lineage of] Isaac and Muslims come from Ismail; both Isaac and Ismail are brothers, so basically Jews and Muslims are cousins. Father of Isaac and Ismail is Abraham.

If you study Islam, you will come to know that in every worship, you have to send benedictions and salutations to Abraham and his progeny. If you don’t do that, your worship is not acceptable, according to Islam.

For example, Al-Safa and Al-Marwah [two hills situated in Masjid al Haram in Mecca] was where Prophet Abraham, upon God’s orders, left his concubine, Haggard, and his son, Ismail. When Ismail was really thirsty, Haggard left her son and went running in search for water. Now, it has become a ritual for a Muslim to run in that area like Haggard, and this is worship for them. 90% of the rituals in the pilgrimage of Hajj is in the memory of Abraham.

The appointment and anointment of Prophet Mohammad was the result of Abraham’s prayers to God. Abraham prayed to God that he wanted a son in this part of the Arabian Peninsula for the guidance of humankind, and it was heard. Every Muslim knows about it. All Muslims must respect Abraham as much as Jews do. Being a Muslim, if you don’t respect Abraham, you are not a Muslim. Look what they have done to Islam.

Terrorism Today

The Islam that we see today is not even a reflection of Islam, it is something else altogether. It is a monstrous set of beliefs. It has nothing to do with the doctrine of blessings which were given to the world by Prophet Mohammad. 

Wahhabis have become an international terror group and Iran is a regional player. They are both terrorists. Iran does not have that much money, so they are local players. Iran is fuelling sectarian hatred in so many countries in the neighbourhood. Iran has its paws stuck in Yemen, Pakistan, Bahrain and Dubai. There is a lot of influence in Dubai from Iran.

Iran is a regional terrorist. Terrorism in Pakistan is fuelled by two countries: Iran and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia a big player in the field of terrorism.

Iran is a poor, meek character, which is why the UK and US are able to put sanctions on Iran. Iran is a devil, but Saudi Arabia is a super devil. 

Bashar ul Assad is a Shiite and Iran is a supporter. Our governments become angry when they see Russia is helping Bashar ul Assad, but they never talk about Iran. Iran is helping Bashar ul Assad more than Russia is. Iran has created problems in Iraq, Iran has created problems in Lebenon. Hezbollah is backed by Iran.

There have been sanctions on Iran but what about Saudi Arabia? Everybody now knows that Saudi Arabia is the principle financier, sponsor and creator of terrorism.

ISIS is just one little outfit. Saudi Arabia is beheading more people than ISIS. They beheaded 41 people in one day, including one Shiite cleric. They are doing it in the same way as ISIS does, with the same philosophy.

Everything is the same. Raqqa is a city where ISIS has its stronghold and they have implemented their Sharia in that area. The religious police system they have introduced are holding guns and roaming around the areas looking at every single passers-by, like how many women are under veils and whether or not their veils are okay. When it time for prayers, they see how many people are going to the mosque; and those who are not going to the mosque are arrested and punished. Beheadings takes place in public. It is the same system as Saudi Arabia.

When will the western leaders become sincere in their efforts to crush terrorism and their principle ideology?

The Pakistan Army began an operation called Zarb-e-Azb, which even the US is praising – but right under their noses in Islamabad, there is a mosque called Lal Masjid and Molvi Abdul Aziz (the cleric of the mosque), who is a radical hate-preacher, is openly announcing that he is in favour of ISIS and Daesh. Recently, 140 girls pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Operation Zarb-e-Azb is only being carried out in the Northern areas, but are they the only ones who are terrorists? What about Punjabis? What about all people who live in Karachi? There was a time when Pathans were more into terrorism, but right now, Pathans have been outnumbered by Punjabis in terrorism. The Taliban in Pakistan are 99% Punjabi.

 If the Pakistani army is sincere in curbing terrorism, then they should declare a war against Wahhabism.

There are no more Muslims in this world, just Wahhabis and Shiites.

In this video he recollects how he was arrested and tortured, and how a series of highly implausible events led to his miraculous escape from certain death at the hands of Iranian authorities.

‘One of the Iranian policemen said to me, “I don’t know what is true or untrue, but I know there is a power behind you.”‘

Jews & Christians Are Not Infidels – Proved by Quran! – Younus AlGohar
1st January 2016|LecturesVideos

Jews & Christians Are Not Infidels – Proved by Quran! – Younus AlGohar

Wahhabis have been evidently proven to be a factory of disinformation about Islam, the Quran and Prophet Mohammad, and they have portrayed a very ugly image of Islam which is completely opposite to what Islam is in its essence. For example, they consider the USA, UK and Europe their enemies and Kuffar (Infidels).

Who is a Kafir (Infidel) and what is the true definition of a Kafir in the light of the Quran?

Let me first remind you: what Wahhabis have projected to the world is that all Christians and Jews are Kafireen (Infidels), and they have to fight and kill them. This is a misleading, anti-Islamic, anti-Quranic and anti-Mohammad concept. The Quran does not say that. First, we need to understand what Kufr (infidelity) is and who were the Kuffar who were addressed.

The Quran says:

قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرُونَ (١) لَآ أَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ (٢) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٣) وَلَآ أَنَا۟ عَابِدٌ۬ مَّا عَبَدتُّمۡ (٤) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٥) لَكُمۡ دِينُكُمۡ وَلِىَ دِينِ (٦)

[109:1-6]

‘Say, O’ Kafireen, I do not worship the one that you worship, nor do you worship the one that I worship. And nor will you worship what I worship. Your religion is with you and mine is with me.’

Even if the Christians and Jews, British, Americans, etc. were Kuffar, the ultimate message which we obtain from the Quran is that you tell them, ‘You practise your religion and I will practise my religion.’ That’s the end of the story! There is no lesson of intolerance. It doesn’t say I will kill you if you don’t practise my religion. These verses (109:1-6) are addressed to the confirmed Kuffar, because this is what the Quran has said.

Now, what I understand is that Abrahamic religions are monotheist religions. Judaism and Christianity are monotheist religions and Islam is a monotheist religion. Jews worship the same God as the Christians, and Muslims worship the same God as the Jews and Christians worship. This verse is not about Christians and Jews because it says, ‘I worship what you do not worship and you worship what I do not worship.’ Because Jews and Christians worship the same God as the Muslims, the infidels of Mecca whom the Quran mentions cannot be either Jews or Christians.

Then why do Wahhabis call Jews and Christians as Kuffar and attribute it to the Quran? This is massive corruption and a crime against God. Are Jews and Christians not Ahl-e-Kitab (followers of a books sent by the same God)? Muslims are bound by the fundamental principles of their religion to believe in all books sent by God, whether the book was sent to Abraham, Moses, Jesus or Mohammad. All four books were sent by God and Muslims must believe in them all. Judaism was a religion established by prophets and messengers sent by God; Christianity was established by Jesus, and Jesus was sent by God.

This verse is implying that there is a group of people, confirmed Kuffar, which did not worship the same God as Prophet Mohammad.

This idea that Jews and Christians are infidels and must be killed is a Wahhabi mischief and problem. The Wahhabis must be wiped out from the face of the world if you really want peace; they are worse than animals!

Prophet Mohammad is Not a Paedophile! – Younus AlGohar

Prophet Mohammad is Not a Paedophile! – Younus AlGohar

Younus AlGohar responds to rumours circulating the internet that Prophet Mohammad slept with a 6-year-old girl.

Main points:

  • Those who say Prophet Mohammad slept with a 6-year-old girl are placing an allegation upon him.
  • Abu Bakr Sadiq, Aisha’s father, gifted her to Prophet Mohammad when she was 6. She lived in his house but he did not develop intimate relations with her until after she reached puberty.
  • According to the system in Western countries, a 60-year-old can have sex with a 19-year-old if both parties are consenting. But 1400 years ago in Hijaz, the system was different.
  • Those who force someone to have sex with them is a rapist. Prophet Mohammad never forced any woman to enter into sexual relations with him. What ISIS is doing is brutality and it is not sanctioned by Islam.

The True Islam – Younus AlGohar
31st December 2015|ArticlesLecturesVideos

The True Islam – Younus AlGohar

The only form of true Islam that I know of is the Islam in which a Muslim strictly follows Prophet Mohammad and he seeks all sorts of guidance from Prophet Mohammad.

In true Islam, dependency of a Muslim’s spiritual growth and nourishment lies on his relationship with Prophet Mohammad. He understands that the source of true knowledge is Prophet Mohammad, not the Quran. 

‘Reach the essence of Prophet Mohammad. O’ fool, you do not know that Prophet Mohammad himself the religion.’ – Rumi

In our eyes, true Islam is that in which a Muslim’s Kaaba, source of guidance, knowledge and benevolence is Prophet Mohammad. One who leaves Prophet Mohammad and seeks guidance only from the Quran is misguided. Whoever has left Prophet Mohammad and follows the Quran only, will become a Wahhabi, Shia or Barelvi. Whoever makes Prophet Mohammad the source of their guidance, knowledge and benevolence will become a Sufi. Such a person will become a lover of Prophet Mohammad.

We admire the Islam in which Prophet Mohammad is the alpha and omega.

One who depended solely on the Quran, the Quran misguided them. However, for one who follows Prophet Mohammad, Prophet Mohammad said that to kill one man is to kill the entire humanity. Prophet Mohammad’s teachings do not allow a follower to let their neighbour go to sleep hungry. Prophet Mohammad forgave those even who were caught committing adultery. He sheltered them. Why wouldn’t a sinner refrain from sinning when Prophet Mohammad shows so much kindness?

Besides Prophet Mohammad, there is nothing good in Islam. If Prophet Mohammad is not in your Islam, then your Islam is nonsense.

True Islam is not meant to seek guidance from the Quran.

Similitude of the Quran can be given as a brick and cement. The difference between the Quran and Islam is the same as it is between cement, brick, sand and a building.

In simple words, the Quran was raw material and with that raw material, Prophet Mohammad built the building of Islam. It is like a teacher’s manual; it is not for the students.

If the Quran was meant to be given to the Muslim Nation, it would have been compiled and given the shape of a book by the Prophet Mohammad himself, but he didn’t do it.

Umar bin Khattab explained the nature of Biddah (Innovation). There are two types of Biddah: Biddah Sahiya (bad innovation) and Biddah Hasanah (good innovation). He caused the religion of Islam to fall into the ditch of bad innovation. So the Quran is raw material with which Prophet Mohammad built the building of Islam. The source of knowledge is not the Quran.

If it is Quran, for the sake of argument, then why did Prophet Mohammad say, ‘I am the city of knowledge and Ali is the gateway to it’?

So the lesson for today is that the Quran is not the source of guidance and knowledge.
