The Universal Message Of Islam

greatness; now they started living in one shared greatness. That is, the greatness of God, who is greater than all. This is the greatest universality that Islam gives to a human being. Islam gives a person the belief in Tawheed. That is, God is One. He is the Creator of all. He is the Owner of all. He is the One who is running the system of the entire universe. Whatever a person gets is given by God. If God does not give, no one can get anything. This Tawheed is the foundation of Islamic universality. When a person accepts this complete Tawheed, in his view, all greatness belongs to only one God. All other things become equal in his eyes. The various differences among human beings start to look artificial. All the different kinds of walls raised among people fall down. The differences made between one person and another based on caste, colour, race, geography, and other such things are erased. Every human becomes a servant, and one God becomes the Lord of all. The belief in Tawheed creates this kind of global mindset in a person. The God towards whom one person runs, all people start running towards that same God. In front of whom one person leaves his pride, in front of that same God, all people become those who leave their pride. Without Tawheed, every person’s focus is different; with Tawheed, the focus of every person becomes the same. This is surely the greatest universality; there can be no greater universality in this world than this.
