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.
We did not send any messenger before
you except with the inspiration: "There is
no god except Me; you shall [know and] worship Me
ALONE." 4
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.
