THANKS
TO A NATION AND ITS CITIZENS |
- To
acquire the knowledge of worldly affairs, we can refer
many books. But to track out our final destination,
we have insufficient sources. We need to refer to
the messages of our Creator with great quantum of
our intellect and conscience. From the beginning of
human race, the Creator has constantly sent down His
revelations, which I feel are fountain-heads of such
knowledge. Unfortunately, we do not have all such
scriptures in their original text with historical
evidences.
- But
history of the past fourteen centuries stands testimony
to the fact that the Last Testament remains uncorrupted
and in its original form till date, and in a language
still alive and spoken throughout the long period
of history. That is The Qur'an. But once again, we
find differences in its various translations and divergent
commentaries. To overcome this, we must refer the
original. If it is explored in its original, many
invalid ideologies attributed to Islam will fade away.
Fanaticism will find no refuge in Islam. Terrorism
will strongly be abhorred to. Dual nationality will
have no grounds. But if Islam is defined through wishful
commentaries of the Qur'an, all these burning issues
will never be put to rest, I am afraid.
- To
understand the Qur'an in its original language, at
my country, India, we have developed a course of 200
hours for sub-continental people. It enables a person
to start comprehending the real message sent down
by his own Creator. Here he is advised to do it independently,
using his own common sense, intellect and conscience.
I call all of you to the Words of our Creator. If
you want any help in learning its original language,
my friends and I will feel pleasure to serve you.
You may catch me on my Email also. I wish and pray
for a nation and its people, who have a system of
education with many commendable features, to take
a lead and quench their thirst from the fountain of
knowledge directly, and lead the world in this sphere
also. May The Lord help you and us, all to rediscover
the Ultimate Truth, Aameen.
-
I conclude this with a message of our own Creator
with this verse, originally in Arabic which reads
“And
be conscious of the Day on which you shall be brought
back unto The God, whereupon every human being shall
be repaid in full what he has earned, and none shall
be wronged".
(Holy
Qur'an 2/281)
