Have you read the most important book in the world? There is a book that tells us where we came from, how we got here and why we are here. It contains the history of the world from the beginning, the names of our forefathers, their communication with their Creator, and the miracles that protected and provided for them. Most importantly, it holds the Truth within its pages, without which, mankind could be doomed to fall back into the Dark Ages.
There was a time when the Truth was withheld from the masses, when men were forbidden to read this Holy Book and forced to believe in fables, fallacies and ridiculous, perverted lies cooked up by those who wished to enslave and control them. It was a time of darkness, not just intellectually, but a spiritual darkness of the soul.
Man/woman is body, mind and soul and unless education addresses the spiritual, man will once again become intellectually darkened and lost in a world without any meaning or purpose.
Don’t be ignorant of what’s paramount to human existence on this planet. Many who have gone before you have suffered torture, crucifixion, and martyrdom to preserve and pass on this torch so that you and I could choose to live in the light. Illumination of our souls came at a heavy price, but some believe it was and is well worth that price; for what could be more important than the eternal enlightenment and salvation of our souls?
For millions of people around the world, their Holy Book is the Qur’an. In it there are some important truths, a couple which I will site here:
“O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary- distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.”
Quotes taken from The Holy Qur’an ; ‘Ali ‘Imran 3:45, 46
If one is a true Muslim, he believes in Jesus Christ. Thus, Christians and Muslims should consider themselves brothers and sisters in God. As Mohammad instructed his followers to believe in and follow all the prophets, including Jesus, then it is necessary to read the words of Jesus in order to know what He said. After all, how can you judge a man without hearing him first?
A true education and enlightenment must include regular reading of the Holy Bible. If you’re reading it in English, the King James Version is the most-enduring and poetic translation, although it contains a few old-English words. (There are less than a dozen words that would need to be learned in order to enjoy the richness of the King James Version.)
