God’s Word and Work Abounds in Diversity: Use It to Establish Brotherhood & Sisterhood of Mankind

God gave exactly the “same” knowledge of the Divine System (Qur’an 42:13) to all the Apostles of all nations and tribes (Qur’an 10:47, 16:36) in their own language (Qur’an 14:4) in different ways. For example, He spoke directly to Moses, gave Jesus the knowledge of the Divine System in the womb of his mother and Prophet Muhammad (s) through Gabriel.

In addition to this, God states in the Qur’an (23:52-53) that “all the Apostles of God belonged to one community”. Therefore, in this community, they did not only receive the knowledge of the Divine System in different languages and in different ways, but God also gave them different sights/sounds (Qur’an 49:13) holy rites/ceremonies (Qur’an 22:34/22:67), church/mosque (Qur’an 72:18, 22:40) and Books.

Likewise, all the Apostles of God highlighted the different teachings of the Divine System. For example, Noah advocated the BELIEF in One God (monotheism). Abraham gathered that Faith without Works was dead. Hence, he SACRIFICED his wealth, health, pleasure, etc, to strengthen the BELIEF of Noah. Moses followed suit by highlighting the teachings of the COMMANDMENTS, Jesus by teaching LOVE and Prophet Muhammad (s) by teaching UNITY and UNIVERSALITY.

Therefore, the Divine System developed as follows:

NOAH:                B

ABRAHAM:          B + S

MOSES:              B + S + C

JESUS:               B + S + C + L

MUHAMMAD:       B + S + C + L + U

All Prophets established the Divine System by following the Creeds of Abraham (Qur’an 2:130) and the worldview teachings of Tawhid (unity and universality), (Qur’an 2:27, 13:21 and 13:25) in their own language.

The Creeds of Abraham teaches us to believe in God as the Creator, Sustainer, Protector, etc, of our Universe, free of all dogmas and doctrines of Religion, and follow the secular and scientific path of the creation, according to a “restrictive definition” of Secular and Religion.

Tawhid (unity and universality) teaches us to have absolute Unity: of God; of all the Books and Prophets of God; between the Word of God and the Work of God in Nature and the wider Universe; between the Word of God and the sayings and doings of the Prophets; between the world of God and the world of Caesar; and so on.

These teachings of the Qur’an declare that Abraham did not become a Muslim (one who submits to the Guidance of God) by reciting the Shahada. He became Muslim by embracing the Divine System. All the people of all the religions are required to embrace the Divine System in its pure form according to all their God-given Diversities in order to form one Standard way of life (AdDeeni Haneefan) for all humans, both secular and religion and one spiritual Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Mankind so that they can integrate, assimilate and marry people of all Faiths in their pure form and co-exist with their spouses and their families peacefully. This is the kind of Diversity God wants to see in the Divine System, both in this world and the Hereafter.
