The bells are ringing and people are singing and rejoicing. Guess? Yes,
it’s Merry Christmas time. Every year on the 25th of
December, Christmas is celebrated in almost all parts of the world by the
peace loving Christians. On this auspicious day, Prophet Jesus (PBUH) was
born with a message of goodwill for the humanity and to lead people
towards The Almighty.
The
task given to Prophet Jesus (PBUH) was the task given to all Prophets of
The Almighty---to make people realize and understand the duties and
responsibilities of `Good & Responsible Human Beings’ and to worship
only one God and that is The Almighty. Read the original holy books of The
Almighty and the message is right there---crystal clear.
Unlike
others, Prophet Jesus (PBUH) has gone to return again. This shows his
importance for the humanity. He will accomplish the unfinished task and
rule all over the world. He will provide the umbrella of love, care and
peace. Yes, no denial, this is bound to happen.
So,
Christmas comes with an important message of a very important personality:
Prophet Jesus (PBUH). Let’s follow the true message of becoming a `Good
& Responsible Human Being’ and prepare ourselves for joining him in
making the world a really peaceful place.
Don’t
just focus on converting people to your own religion and following. Even
dons, criminals and crooks have religion and following. The most important
thing than anything else is to create proper awareness and understanding
about the duties and responsibilities of human beings. We have been
created by The Almighty with a purpose and we must understand that
purpose.
The
most important question before us is `Are we really living and performing
as a responsible and good human being? No confusion and surprise. Only we
have and can give this answer because we know what we are doing or what
our intentions are.
Christmas
is not an ordinary occasion and time to celebrate and enjoy. Along with
the great happiness, joy and cheers, we must understand the realistic
message of this important day and make a pledge to convert more human
beings as `Good & Responsible Ones’ who can help each other in
creating a good society and system and turning the whole world into a
beautiful garden and a wonderful place.
In
this respect, every person and individual must try to take lead over the
other to do it first in order to please Prophet Jesus (PBUH) and The
Almighty. The problem is we keep fighting with each other on the issue of
conversion and beliefs. We are wrong but think it as right. We need to
change our thinking, approach and attitude.
There
are millions namesake Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and so
on. Are they all really `Good & Responsible Human Beings’? If yes
than why the world is turning into a hell with killings, devastations and
destructions everywhere. In the name of love, peace and God, hell is being
let loose and people being torn into pieces.
Is
this what Prophet Jesus (PBUH), Prophet (Moses), Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
or any other prophet of The Almighty wanted or taught us to do?
Everyone knows that the answer is DEFINITELY NO. When we understand
this then why not join hands and work for real love, peace and The
Almighty? We must always remember that this is our most important goal,
aim, objective, task or whatever you name it.
Instead
of following the right direction for real happiness and glory, we are
going in the reverse and wrong direction and right into the devil’s trap
and hell. Is something wrong with our brain, senses and thinking? I think
so. They are becoming in control of the devil and it is our job to get out
of that dangerous grip and control.
The
devil is powerful but becomes powerless if we become really good and
responsible and start promoting love, care and peace in the real sense.
Let
us wish Merry Christmas, Eid Mubarak, Hanukkah and Happy New Year (2009)
to each and everyone. It is time to share happiness of each other. Let us
enjoy, rejoice and cheer but also not forget our duties and
responsibilities. Only with this spirit we can live peacefully and love
each other. Thanks to The Almighty for all the blessings despite our
mistakes, wrongs and sins. We love You and need guidance only from You.
Make us understand the holy books and the very important message sent to
us through all Your prophets---There is only one God: The Almighty. Amen.
