Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Moral Values of Qur'an, a Commentary on Surah Hujurat Part 28 Faith in origin and end is the basis of all religions The original religion, which Almighty Allah initiated with the father of mankind (Adam) and ended with the messengership of Muhammad is to understand the beginning and the end.

﴿لا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ﴾ “We make no difference between any of His apostles…” [^1] The purpose of sending Messengers and of revealing divine Books from the scriptures of Adam upto the Holy Qur’an on Muhammad is faith in God, the Hereafter and good deeds. This is the whole of it. Ibrahim talked about God, Hereafter and good deeds and so also talked Musa, Isa and the Last Prophet. This is towards which people were called and invited by Torah, Bible, Zabur and Qur’an. ﴿وَالْعَصْرِ.

إِنَّ الإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ. إِلاّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ﴾ “I swear by the time, most surely man is in loss, except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.” [^2] Religion means faith and good deeds. All the messengers arrived for this purpose.

Faith in God, the Messenger and the Hereafter does not mean only confession by tongue due to some temptation or because of habit or mere outward expression and saying: Allah, Muhammad, Hereafter and Judgment Day are true; death is true. Inclination towards something amounts to having faith in it The meaning of Faith in Persian is, as mentioned in all the Qur’anic commentaries, is inclination or attraction. The thing towards which man gets inclined is due to faith in that thing.

Faith in God is inclination towards God. Today’s man has left God. He has no faith in Him. All the faith and inclination is towards the material world, wealth, affluence, financial power, status and position. All are running after these things. The Jew says I am in the community of Musa and my belief is in Torah. Rather, he also has strange claims. He says, “Ruling the world is our right and Paradise is also absolutely for us.” What do the Christians say?

Christians say: We are children of God and His friends. Paradise is our property and Isa lived in hell for three days so that no Christian may now go to hell, and all such nonsense. Muslims also say Paradise is for us. I am a believer; partisan of Ali the Wali of Allah and Paradise is reserved for us, not for others.
