The advent of the holy prophet Muhammad (PBH) was foretold in so
many pages of all the previous scriptures. He was finally unveiled
by the Almighty God, with a message to all the world (the holy
Quran). The holy Quran (as prophesied in the previous scriptures)
is the actual word of the Almighty God - Allah. It was revealed for
the benefit of all mankind: "Blessed is He who sent down the
criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all
creatures." (Q.25: 1). It is complete and comprehensive and in
conformity with the prophecy in the previous scriptures. The
Almighty Allah says: ."Nothing have we omitted from the Book."
(Q.6: 38) The message given to the holy prophet Muhammad (PBH) by
the Almighty Allah for mankind thus contains a complete code which
provides for all areas of life, whether spiritual, intellectual,
political, social or economic. It is a code which has no boundaries
of time, place or nation. Before Islam, religion was on the
authority of its own leaders, and was thus the avowed enemy of
reason resulting in making theology to be based on intricate
subtleties and credulous admiration of miracles. The holy Quran
came and took religion by a new road untrodden by the previous
scriptures in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy. It spoke to the
rational mind and alerted the intelligence. It sets out the order
in the Universe, the principles and certitudes within it, and
required a lively scrutiny of them that the mind might thus be sure
of the validity of its claim and message. Even in relation to the
narratives of the past, it proceeded on the conviction that the
created order follows invariable laws, as the holy Quran says:
"Such was the way of God in days gone by and youwill find (that) it
does not change (Q.48: 23). And again, "God does not change
people's case until they change their own disposition (Q.13: 11).
Even in matters of morality, the holy Quran relies on evidence:
"Requite evil with good and your worst enemy will become your
dearest friend (Q.41: 34). Thus for the first time in a revealed
scripture, reason finds its brotherly place; and toleration made a
corner stone of religion as the holy Quran says: "There is no
compulsion in religion."(Q2: 256) But warned t tyranny and
injustice are the two enemies of social solidarity and inter-
social amity.
The End of time will come all of a sudden. The holy Qur'an tells us
that it will appear to people as if they have tarried a single
evening on Earth. The knowledge of the final Hour is with the
Almighty God alone. When the Hour comes the moon would be cleft
asunder.The serious question at this stage is how prepared are we
for the final Hour; the exact timing of it, as mentioned already,
is only known to the Almighty God, the most exalted and has not
reveal it to any one. Mass production and mass organisation have
blinded mankind, societies and nations. Mankind has become so
engrossed in material things to the extent that they take no notice
of the signs of the final Hour that are now evident every where.
Instead mankind has chosen to waste precious time in ephemeral
things. A brave soldier, who left his sword behind in his house and
went out to fight with the scabbard: Indeed, any one who forgets
the Day of meeting with his or her creator, will go empty handed
into the Eternal Home and face the wrath of God on the Judgement
Day.
