Islamic Review 1913 A.D.
Khwajah Kamal-ud-Din sermon 1913.
Islam is a simple faith.
A belief in One and only God, possessing all the conceivable good attributes and absolutely free from all frailties, IS THE FIRST PRINCIPLE.
Those who follow Islam are called Muslims or Musalmans, but not Muhammadans. They worship One God the All-mighty, the All-knowing, the All-just, the Cherisher of the Worlds, the Master of the East and the West, the Author of the Heavens and Earth, the Creator of all that exists.
The God of Islam is Loving and Forgiving, but also just and swift in reckoning.
He is the Friend. The Guide. The Helper.
EVERY PLACE IS SACRED TO HIM.
There is none like him. He has no partner or co-sharer. He has begotten no sons or daughters. He is free from passions, and is indivisible, impersonal. From Him all have come and to Him all return.
He is the Light of the Heaven and the Earth, the Glorious, the Magnificent, the Beautiful, the Eternal, the Infinite, the First and the Last.
The PROPHET of Islam was named Muhammad. Whom the Muslims must follow.
He was the LAST Prophet, and finally and faithfully preached and established the doctrine of the UNITY of God in a WAY that it can never NOW be shaken by any amount of PROGRESS of RATIONALISM.
Muhammad is highly reverenced by all the Muslims.
But is recognized as a MAN. As are other Prophets. Abraham. Moses. Jesus.
Who are ALL respected by Muslims as the righteous persons sent down by the loving GOD to GUIDE his children.
ALL the Prophets, whether from the EAST, or from the WEST, or from the NORTH, or from the SOUTH, brought the SAME common message from the Creator.
But their followers afterwards altered or corrupted it.
The Gospel of the Muslims is Al-Quran.
It teaches man how to hold direct communion with his Maker.
There is NO Preisthood in Islam.
Every soul is responsible for its own actions.
The holy Prophet has said,
Paradise lies at the feet of mother.
Islam forbids.
Is forbids IMPURITY of EVERY KIND.
Cleanliness of both body and mind, is ESSENTIAL to be MUSLIM.
ALL intoxicants are FORBIDDEN.
GAMBLING and the FLESH OF THE PIG.
SUICIDE is to be UNKNOWN among MUSLIMS.
Because, Islam ENCOURAGES rational views and scientific research.
This is done, by DECLARING that SUN and MOON and ALL the elements are SUBSERVIENT to human INTELLECT and will in a great measure.
And MAN can utilize them.
IF.
IF he discovers the SECRET of those laws.
According to which they work.
It is not true, what Kipling says.
That East is east and West is west, and never the twain shall meet.
The time will come when in European countries Eid-ul-Fitr and other Muslim festivals will no more remain novelties, and when the cry La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulallah will be heard from high minarets five times every day from European cities.
But the same message may be lost from where Islam came.
This is where they go wrong. They can't claim Jesus as a prophet, because to be a prophet means that you must speak the truth as delivered to the prophet by God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, Truth and The Life; No one comes to the Father except by me."
Satan has them try to co-opt our Lord in the minds of muslims in order to battle against Him by gaining converts. It will fail.
We already know the ending. We just have to perservere.
So they glorify suicide by dressing little kids in simulated explosive belts and have them in their parades?
They have their scriptures that implore them to lie to all the rest of the world of non-moslems. This article is full of examples of that.
- The Koran sanctions pillage, looting, ransom, and the rape of captive women as an incentive to join in jihad or "holy war"
- Mohammed kept one-fifth of all spoils of war for himself
- The Koran allows a man to have up to four wives -- at any one time. He can divorce a wife by simply saying so 3 times
- Mohammad had as many as 25 wives. One was six when they married; he was 54. He consummated the marriage when she was 9
- At least 27 people were murdered on Mohammed's orders
- Mohammed allowed temporary marriage "for three nights" or more, so that soldiers in the field could "marry" prostitutes
- The Koran assures the Muslim the right to own slaves by purchasing them or as a bounty of war. Mohammad had dozens
- Almsgiving and mercy is commended in Islam -- but the beneficiaries have to be Muslims only
- In Islam, the definition of what is "right" or "just" is not fixed, but changeable by divine decree -- enabling the most henous sins and crimes to be declared "the will of Allah"
- The joys and glories of the Islamic "paradise" are tangible and sensual and include sex with virgins -- and young boys
- As Mohammad progressed from visionary and teacher to warlord and ruler, his style and message became more depraved, violent and intolerant. It is these later "revelations" that are considered definitive by Islamic authorities when they conflict with earlier ones often cited for Western consumption
- The Crusades were a belated military response to three centuries of Muslim aggression against Christian lands and peoples
- Islam divides the world into the House of Islam (where Islam rules) and the House of War (where it doesn't). The two are permanently at war; there may be temporary truces, but peace will come only upon the completion of global conquest
- When Muslims are a minority community, the Koran permits them to adopt a peaceful attitude to deceive their neighbors, until they feel strong enough to dispense with the pretense
- The massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger in sheer numbers than the Holocaust
- Muslim persecution of Christians has caused suffering and death for millions over 13 centuries -- and continues today
- The myth of Islam's "tolerance" of religious minorities contradicts its teaching, history, and present reality
- Islam's "golden age" was parasitic on the Christian cultures and peoples it conquered, and ended when it "killed the host"
- In 1993, Saudi Arabia's supreme religious authority declared that the world is flat, and that anyone who disagrees is an infidel to be punished
- Like Communism, Islam cannot foster prosperity, and is always reliant on plunder or unearned wealth (e.g., from oil)
- Islam recognizes no distinction between temporal and divine authority; the only "legitimate" government is a theocracy
- America's "ally" Saudi Arabia remains the most intolerant Islamic regime in the world, where the practice of any religion besides Islam is as strictly prohibited as in Mohammed's day
- The first imam to deliver a Muslim prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1991, declared in 1997 that Muslims will eventually elect the president and replace the constitutional government with an Islamic caliphate
