To true believer: The true meaning of the slave of God

Submitted by Nuray (Kyrgyzstan), Apr 12, 2006 at 10:47

Dear True Believer,

The slave of God means one who believe in Allah and obeys the rules of Allah which brings happiness to people. Allah call the rules given in Quran as advice. Muslims only obey " the advice" We are not the slave of Allah physically but voluntarily.

Muhammed, peace upon him, was the messenger and the slave of Allah. He didn't convey any message against Allah. Then Allah sent Muhammed, peace upon him, to bring peace and wisdom to mankind and to overrule the corrupted books of Jews and Christians.

We Muslims don't associate ourselves with Allah. Therefore, we don't call ourselves as children of Allah. Allah has no image. How can God have an image? I am a creature. I need an image to be known by other creatures of Allah.

There is only one God, Allah. The source of Islam, Judaism or Christianity is the same. People are free to accept or deny it.

Haven't you ever seen Jews kiss, cry and pray walls in Jerusalem? Christians kiss the feet of the status of saints at Vatican. Muslims kiss the black stone in Kaaba. Believers just show their affection to holy objects. No need to exaggerate.

Islam is Islam. It is not possible to insult noble Islam but non-believers feel themselves better by doing so. This is the way how they deceive themselves and wasting their times.
