Islam stands for peace. Ahmadiyya Muslim community presents the real picture of Islam.
The true victory of Islam, as is evident from the word 'Islam' (submission) itself, lies in our complete surrendering our selves to God and freeing ourselves of our egos and our passions. No idol, whether it is the idol of our desires, our our intentions, or the idol of creature worship, should stand in our way, and we should submit ourselves entirely to the will of God. After reaching this state of Fana (self-annihilation), we will attain baqa (the life of eternity) which will give our eyes a new light, our minds a new passion; and we will become a wholly new being and the same Eternal God will become for us a new God. This is the true victory, and one aspect of it is Divine ammunion.(the green announcement p. 28)
A MESSAGE OF PEACE
O my Almighty God, my beloved Guide! Show us the path which leads the righteous and the sincere to Thee. And save us from treading the path which leads to carnal desires, malice, spite and worldly pursuits.
Having done that, I draw your attention to the following: notwithstanding the hundreds of differences between us, Muslims, Christians and Hindus alike share one thing in common, i.e., we all believe in God, the creator and the master of the universe. Also, we belong to the same denomination of God's species and are referred to as humans. This requires that we become friends to each other, with purity of hearts and sincerity of intentions. We should dispose kindly to each other and be mutually helpful. in the difficulties pertaining to religious and worldly matters, we should exercise such sympathy towards each other as if we have become limbs of the same body.
A religion which does not inculcate universal compassion is no religion at all. Similarly, a human being without the faculty of compassion is no human at all. Our God has never discriminated between one people an another. This is illustrated by the fact that all the potentials and capabilities that have been granted to the Aryans have also been granted to the races inhabiting Arabia, Persia, Syria, China, Japan, Europe and America. The earth created by God provides a common floor for all people alike, and His sun and moon and many stars are a source of radiance and provide many other benefits to all alike. Likewise, all peoples benefit from the elements created by Him, such as air, water, fire and grain, fruit, and healing agents, etc. these attributes of God teach us the lesson that we, too, should behave magnanimously and kindly towards our fellow beings and should not petty of heart illiberal.
Friends! take it as certain that if any of our nations nations would not treat God's attributes with respect and will not shape it's conduct in accordance with the conduct of God, then, that nation will soon be wiped out from the face of the earth. Not only will it destroy itself but it will also jeopardize the future of its generation to come. The righteous of all ages have testified that following God's ways works like an elixir for the people. Moreover the survival, both physical and spiritual, of human beings depends on the same eternal truth that man should follow the virtuous attributes of God who is the fountain head of all that is essential for survival.
