Wisdom From The Prophet Mohammed
‘The greatest Jihad is to battle your own soul, to fight the evil within yourself.’
‘Do not consider the smallest good deed as insignificant. Even meeting someone with a cheerful face is a good deed.’
‘Allah does not judge human bodies and appearances. He knows our hearts and soul and looks only at our deeds.’
‘Knowledge raises the low and ignorance brings down the mighty.’
‘Do not grow weary of your prayers because nobody has ever been destroyed through them.’
‘Be patient. It is the most important of all things. Learn from the past and labour for good.’
‘Attaching no value to the world means attaching no undue value to others. Attaching no value to others starts with attaching no undue importance to oneself.’
‘Reflection is the key that opens the inner doors to mercy. Do you not see? One first reflects and then repents!’
‘There are three indications of a person’s greatness: not complaining in the face of calamity, not groaning in the face of pain and not praising oneself.’
‘Learn what you will, but know that so long as you do not implement what you learn, Allah will give you no reward for it.’
‘Believers are those who are aware that God is watching them. Such servants restrain their desires and prepare themselves for the Hereafter. The hijr, an obligation that lasts until Doomsday, is the road that leads from ignorance to knowledge, from forgetting Allah to seeking Him, from sin to obedience, and from obduracy to repentance.’
‘Those who show patience when they cannot obtain something, contentment when they achieve it and fortitude upon losing it have awareness.’
‘Those who love prefer to please those whom they love instead of pleasing themselves.’
‘Those who believe in Allah are like pearls. Wherever they may be, that’s where they are beautiful.’
Allah is but one of the many words that are used in our world for God.
Islam is a word for total surrender to God.
Jihad is a word for the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin,
also for the battle against the enemies of Islam,
i.e. the total surrender to the will of God.
Totally surrendering to God is when we freely and willingly submit our whole being to God’s will and laws, for they are the laws of life. These laws are love and evolution, i.e. constantly moving forwards and upwards on the evolutionary spiral of life and growing into ever kinder and more loving, compassionate and tolerant God-like beings.
To me total surrender means conducting my life in ways that refuse to do anything that is not in keeping with the Divine laws, and the advice of my wise one within, my very own inner living God, Christ and Highest Self. I refuse to take advantage of others and suppressing them and their God-given rights, like freedom of choice. I say no to hurting and wounding anyone in thoughts, words and deeds, and anything else that is not in keeping with the Divine laws and my own true nature. That’s the way I want to conduct my life, not because someone says so and is trying to force me. These are my guidelines and I follow them voluntarily because that’s the only way I can be true to my real nature as a son/daughter of God.
Total surrender to the will and power of God’s laws is the final stage of all human development on the earthly plane of life. And in that sense alone will the word Islam – not the religion – soon be taking over our whole world. God’s kingdom will then be ruling supreme through love and goodwill, tolerance and compassion towards all races and lifeforms that share our planet with us. This can only come to pass because our world and everything in it has been saved and redeemed by everyone’s own Christ nature. And that’s the only way the Christ Spirit can bring it about.
I believe that one by one the religions that still exist in our world will disappear. The more they reveal themselves and their leaders for what they truly are, the less people are going to feel inclined to follow them and swear their allegiance to them. This will continue until all that is left will be the following:
There is only one religion, the religion of love.
There is only one country, the whole of Mother Earth.
There is only one race and chosen people, the whole of humankind.
There is only one gender, who is androgynous, whole and holy.
There is only one language, the language of the heart.
And there is only one God, the God of love,
The Great Father/Mother of all life
And the Spirit of the Universal Christ,
The Light of all lights and the Sun of all suns,
Their only born Son/Daughter.
They are one Holy Trinity, who is
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
