The World Government and Religions' Meeting Point
The Prophet Muhammad is one of the
Mighty Prophets and this means that his message exceeds the local
and the territorial limits and borders. It is a world-wide message
for the whole of mankind.
"We have sent you as mercy to all
the worlds; therefore, Allah has prepared for this task a great,
competent and qualified leader who can shoulder such an immense
task which has been left idle for hundreds of years. He has been
the last of the Prophets' trustees to be the savior and the sincere
with regard to what is dominating the world of injustice,
oppression and deterioration.
The notion of the rescuer, the
savior or the redeemer may look common among the nations and
peoples. Studies and researches which have been made on all
religions and creeds even the old ones have stressed that all of
them include the existence of the savior or the rescuer in all its
spectra from; therefore, every nation or people is waiting for its
redeemer to save it from the injustice and the oppression it is
living through as well as this same notion will emit hope and
self-comfort for the vulnerable on earth along the ages.
In fact, the matter of the rescuer
or the redeemer is almost clear to the three main represented in
religions: Jewism, Christianity and Islam. As for Jewism, their
redeemer, according to their belief will get out of Al-Quds from
Zion mountain.
This glad tiding is derived from the
book of Lsaiah; but Christians belief lies in the return of Jesus,
son of Mary which is the prevalent thought in their public and that
he is the promised savior.
In their literary works and writings
during the recent period that this time is the due time at which
most of the causes and motives have been completed for return of
Jesus as a redeemer and a savior of all mankind.
As for Zoroastrians they believed in
the return of Bahram Shah and the Indians their belief is in the
return of Vishnu but the Buddhists are waiting for the return of
their Buddha while the Mongols believe in the return of
Jenqhis Khan and this belief was found by the ancient Egyptians and
the Ethiopian Christians in the return of Theodor while the
Spaniards believe in the return of their king Rutheriq and the
like.
It has become clear that the idea of
the Savior is not restricted to people of religion only but also to
so many of the atheists and God deniers as well as some of
philosophers, writers and men of knowledge in the western world
verify the existence of that savior and they are also waiting for
his return soon according to what they have of proofs and guides –
among them is the British philosopher Bertrand Russel who
says:
"The world at large is awaiting one
reformer who will unite the whole of mankind under one standard."
As well as the physiologist Albert Einstein, the owner of the
theory of relativity who says: "The world of today will be
dominated by purity and peace wherein the people will coexist in
peace, reconciliation, fraternity and reform which are not far away
from achievement." And others of such and same caliber are so
many.
The Muslims and the
Savior
We have already known that the
savior or the redeemer is a title oriented by mankind in all its
spectra- of its religions, doctrines and creeds since ancient times
and up to now which will lead to a day which has been waited for a
long time at which justice and equality will be achieved and the
wronged will regain that he has lost from the wrongdoer. Good and
peace and discipline will dominate the world at large.
A question here arises: Who is
the Savior with regard to Muslims?
