The Muslim

When primitive man readily accepts religion over his personal hygiene, it is only wise to merge the two and make them one and the same for such a person. Christians have been told “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” but I do not suppose that our Muslim brothers presume that ablution does something more than ensuring their posterity lived in good health, long before they could discover that the real danger was not the displeasure of Allah, but the work of some creatures that were invisible to the human eye.

Your mistake then will be in not seeking higher truths (even as proposed by the Holy Qur’an) and breaking out of the mindset that ablution does something more than physical cleansing, and coming to the conclusion that it has no real spiritual consequences.

The Father has called you into a living relationship — not rules of worship.

There is no God for the Muslim, separate from the God of the Christian; all men exist by the will of the same God, who has purposed to draw them unto himself. The Father seeks his sons, even when they do not seek him.

It is time to leave the recitations, rituals and incantations behind for your brethren who do not know how to pray (for such is their purpose), and embrace a personal relationship with the Father as revealed by Christ. This does not require that you become a Christian, but you will do well to be a light unto your brothers, showing them the way of the Father, even through the Holy Qur’an. You will soon come to realize that God is beyond anything man can ever imagine, and our current concepts of him are crude at best, and no one book can contain him.

The religion (your personal relationship with God) which does not grow, is dead.
