THE MESSAGE OF FALSE RELIGIONS
BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem
There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and
movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way
or the only true path to Allah. How can one determine which one
is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which
the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial
differences in the teachings of the various claimants to the
ultimate truth, and identify the central object of worship to
which they call, directly or indirectly.
Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false religion
is that Allah may be worshipped in the form of His creation.
False religion invites man to the worship of creation by calling
the creation or some aspect of it God. For example, prophet
Jesus invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim
to be his followers today call people to worship Jesus, claiming
that he was Allah or part of Allah AstaghfirulLah!
Buddha was a reformer who introduced a number of humanistic
principles to the religion of India. He did not claim to be God
nor did he suggest to his followers that he be an object of
worship. Yet, today most Buddhists who are to be found outside
of India have taken him to be God and prostrate to idols made in
their perception of his likeness.
By using the principle of identifying the object of worship,
false religion becomes very obvious and the contrived nature of
their origin clear. As God said in the Qur'aan:
That which you worship besides Him are only names you and your
forefathers have invented for which Allah has sent down no
authority: The command belongs only to Allah: He has commanded
that you only worship Him; that is the right religion, but most
men do not understand ". (Soorah Yoosuf 12:40)
It may be argued that all religions teach good things so why
should it matter which one we follow. The reply is that all
false religions teach the greatest evil, the worship of
creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can
commit because it contradicts the very purpose of HIS creation.
Man was created to worship Allah alone as Allah has explicitly
stated in the Qur'aan:
"I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship
me"(Suurah Zaareeyaat) 51:56.
Consequently, the worship of creation, which is the essence of
idolatry, is the only unforgivable sin. One who dies in this
state of idolatry has sealed his fate in the next life. This is
not an opinion, but a revealed fact stated by Allah in his final
revelation to man:
"Verily Allah will not forgive the joining of partners with Him,
but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whomsoever He
wishes" (Suurah An-Nisaa 4:48 and 116).
The beauty and the truth about Islam is that, it is the only
religion which affirms the ONENESS OF GOD and accept ALL
PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS OF GOD. AlhamdulilLah.
May Allah keep guiding us all and unite us in Paradise. Aameen.
