The journey to the Truth is not something that can be easily achieved without Divine assistance. There are too many pitfalls and multitudes of diversions. How can every individual – six billion in number - have direct access to God’s Presence and knowledge and still hold onto the precious rope of Oneness? What if a person confuses his own subjective desires with that of the universal Will?

This is where the dangers of multiplicity and the emergence of differences and separation are sure to begin if we don’t all have uniform laws and methods of understanding, which is why we need people who are authorised to receive and deliver the message of God and selflessly distribute it evenly, without bias or distortion.

So mankind has been blessed with chosen Guides and Messengers, sent by God to enlighten us and lead us on the path of truth and understanding. And the first message which every true Prophet and Messenger began with is the perfect call, to dismiss all concepts of false deities and gods and accept the existence of the One and Only Source of life and salvation – God, Who is without partners or peers.

 

Therefore we find the names of the great teachers and advocates of the one path, united in their mission to convey the message of Oneness, such as Moses, Abraham, Jesus, David and enumerated in the Bible and Qur’an.

Look at some verses of the Divine code given to Moses, the Ten Commandments, and you will see one, two and three are solely concerned with that one single point.

1- You shall have no other gods before me;
2- You shall not make for yourself an idol nor bow down or worship them;
3- You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God.

4	The Holy Qur’an, Al-Anbia (The Prophets) 21:25
