Again, look at the clear message delivered by
Jesus, Son of Mary, when asked what the greatest
commandment is:
Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, this
is the first and great commandment. And the second
is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. On these two commandments hang all the
law and the prophets. 5
From this we understand the message of Monotheism
(Tawhid) and the straight path which unites the
roads of all truer teachers of the Truth. As we
read min the very first chapter of the Qur’an
revealed to the Last Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him):
In the name of God, The Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer
of the universe;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Judgment.
You [alone] do we worship, and You [alone] we seek
for help.
Guide us on the straight path;
The path of those on whom You have bestowed Your
Grace, those who do not deserve Your anger; nor
those who go astray.
Analysing the above verses, we come to the conclusion
that all true messengers of God were unanimous in
their emphasis on the need to serve only One Divine
Being. And so all differences and conflicts between
people of different races and religions could be
greatly reduced if we returned to the original source
of unity and knowledge and followed the road the
Prophets carefully laid down – peace be upon
them all.
