In these times ruled by
avarice and vice, where racial injustice and economic exploitation enslaves
humanity, where women and children are forced into prostitution, good men
murdered by police and military death squads, and our youth go to an early
grave - victims of self destruction via gang violence, drug abuse and sexually
transmitted disease - there is no room for division amongst the poor and
righteous of this world over theological differences; no reason to fight
inter-religious wars. For in Truth, so long as we fight for justice, and our
Faith is genuine, we are allies. As the great Imam Ali (as) said:
"Allah admits to
Paradise anyone for sincerity of belief"
And certainly, in this
world of corruption, where all traditional cultures and beliefs are under
attack from the Godless Whore which is Babylon - there are only two divisions:
Those who seek to live upright, and those who do not.
Likewise, there is no hope
in racial or nationalistic divisions. For in this modern world, the grasp of
the beast encompasses every nation and people upon this earth. There is nowhere
to hide. No community is free of its evil influence. So there can be no victory
in isolationism. No salvation in sectarianism.
For while the downtrodden
of the earth remain divided over inherited political, cultural and religious
divisions - divisions which are not of their making - the system of Dajjal
marches forward in its quest for world domination and the subjugation of the
human soul.
Therefore, the time has
come for the downtrodden, exploited masses of the world to embrace an ideology
of unification, and form a movement that is both physically and morally strong
enough to do battle against the forces of evil that are destroying this Earth
(and all life upon it). One that recognizes the intrinsic flaw of single issue
causes, whose concept of justice is always selective (with each special
interest group fighting for the rights of those that fall under their personal
concern, while neglecting, or in some cases, opposing those rights for others)
- moving beyond such failed approaches to a logical and all encompassing system
of thought and program of action, which can and will succeed. One that cannot be
bought, nor led astray by temptation. One that is free of the vices that sedate
the mind and weaken the body.
The time has come for an
ideology and spiritual conception that is pure and righteous, without
contradictions or inconsistencies. One that judges all things by one standard
and emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability above all else. A
belief system, a way of life (tariqah, or "path") that lives by one
ethic, that all Life, by its very nature of existing within the Totality of the
Creator (Allah) is sacred, and must have the right to live out it's natural
state of existence unhindered by this modernist hell (which has placed wrong
for right, falsehood for truth, and downpression for justice). A movement that
not only deals with the external, but also the internal - realizing that a
physical entity of exploitation and tyranny, such as the capitalist system
(where all life is deemed an expendable resource), is merely an outward
manifestation of the warped values held by the people who run the institutions
that control our lives, influence our culture and destroy the earth.
That ideology of
unification is the Eternal Light of Truth taught by ALL Prophets, Imams, and
Saints throughout the ages. It is the primordial path of Submission to Allah
(known in different languages as The Tao, Middle Way, Central Column and Sirat
al-Mustaqim) that has been expressed by Adam, Zoroaster, Abraham, Lao Tsu,
Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and all 124,000 Prophets (may the peace of Allah
be upon them all) who were sent with a mission to uplift humanity and bring
salvation to the world. And though some people have caused division in this
singular message of Truth by breaking it into separate "religions"
and calling them by the name of one particular Prophet or people – be it
Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, or Christianity – in Truth, there
is no division. All Prophets have declared the Unity Of God. All Prophets have
spoken of Islam (or submission to ALLAH). Likewise, ALL true Gnostics and
mystics who live upright and believe in justice are truly the People of Allah,
no matter what label is given to them.
So let us unite around the
common Light of Truth that shines through all sacred scriptures. Let us come to
the realization that no matter what sect or denomination our parents have
raised us in, that we were ALL born Muslim (inherently submitting to the will
of ALLAH). That ALL Prophets have preached a singular unifying message of
Islam.
For there is no division in
ALLAH. No variation in divine Truth. Humanity is ONE. Creation is ONE. ALLAH is
ONE.
Only once we begin to enact
this Truth, moving past notions of separation, will we truly fulfill our
destiny as the People Of Allah - purifying our lives from the corruptive
influence of Babylon, and gaining the strength to slay the beast which is this
system of Dajjal.
