What is Islam? Why do Muslims say Islam is peaceful?
This book speaks not only to Muslims, but to all humankind as well, about the tragic situation in the world today.
The remarkable words of the authentic Sufi master M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) address the endless conflicts in Jerusalem. His words show us what must be done to achieve true peace in Jerusalem, in the world, and in our hearts.
Each word in Islam, Jerusalem, and World Peace makes it our duty to work hard to illumine our hearts with justice, truth, love, and compassion instead of indulging in ignorance and hatred. It is a clear teaching.
Allah sent down His messengers and His angels to tell us to have faith in what He has said. Believing in Allah, accepting His commandments, and avoiding His prohibitions is Islam. We need to accept that serving Him, accepting Him with absolute certitude, gaining His ninety-nine wilayat, His miraculous qualities and actions, and putting them into practice in the right way is Islam.
It is not about attacking others. The war is waged by the self, within the self. This is the clarity of Islam. It is not for attacking others. We must correct whoever it is within ourselves that makes the mistakes. We must correct the mistakes of our minds. Correcting the mistakes in our own minds is Islam. Training the mind to act with God’s qualities, correcting it, and bringing it to the state of God is Islam. Learning this ‘ilm is the value of Islam. If you understand ‘ilm, you will understand and know what Islam is.
