Efforts have been made to better understand the human realities, who are all actually one family of ALLAH. As the Prophet, Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) declared at the very outset: “All creatures are ALLAH’s family; and ALLAH loves those most who treats His family well and kindly” – (Bayhaqi). “If you love your Creator, then love your fellow beings first” – (Pearls of Bukhari).
Indeed, we have been captivated over this wonderful universality of Islam that brings all humans irrespective of their religion, race and colour into one bond of brotherhood. It is of course, the distinctive characteristic of Islam, as taught by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him), that it combines within itself the opulence and grandeur of all humanity into one organ as a whole. Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) constantly preached the universal love and brotherhood as the emblem of the love borne towards ALLAH. “How do you think ALLAH will know you when you are in His presence? – Of course by your love of your children, of your kin, of your neighbours, of your fellow-creatures” – (Mishkat).
In whichever sense you draw your thoughts on it, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) have clearly given the message to humankind that they are all equal in the eyes of their Lord – they were not the wretched and abused but blessed and sustained by the One Absolute Truth of ALLAH. The different nations and different colours of men have no part to play in the very eyes of their God, ALLAH, the One and Only. He loves His servants, whether women or the men more than what one’s own mother can love.
“Announce, (O Muhammad, Peace Be Unto Him) unto My servants that verily I Am the Forgiving, the Merciful, And that My punishment – that is the painful punishment” – (Quran 15:49-50).
“So set thy purpose for Religion as a man by nature upright (“fitrah” natural religion of ALLAH) – the nature (framed) of ALLAH, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) ALLAH’s creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not” – (Quran 30:30).
Let us remind here again the universality of Islam as explained by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) that every baby is born according to the firtah (nature) of Islam (by submitting to ALLAH) – (See: Tafsir Ibn Kathir).
Indeed, it gives us the evidence that every human is blessed and was not damned and condemned, whether that be a man or a woman – the red of them or the black of them. Perhaps, it is only after they gain consciousness that they become the ‘Blessed’ by accepting ALLAH and His commandments or the ‘Damned’ by rejecting ALLAH and His commandments. So in reality, everyone is blessed until and unless they have not damned themselves in the eyes of their Creator by rejecting Him and disbelieving in His Prophets and in His Angels and in His Books.
Here the study we have conducted was purely to recognise the relics of the Hebrew and the Aramaic Bible in their pristine form which confirms us the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) and his universal mission, his being the last and the final Prophet and the Messenger of ALLAH,
