Why is the religion of Muhammad (s) the greatest among all religions?
It is one thing for a Hindu to say ‘my religion is the greatest’
or for a Sikh to say ‘my religion is the greatest’
or for a Christian to say ‘my religion is the greatest’,
similarly a Muslim would also say ‘my religion is the greatest’
but that’s not what I’m talking about here.
I am telling you the reality that the religion of Islam is actually and factually greater than all religions.
This is the truth. Now, why is it the truth?
Why is Islam the Greatest of all Religions?
All the messengers,
from Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (saw),
have all shared their esoteric knowledge amongst each other.
For example, if God grants the prophethood of electricity to Murtaza,
the prophethood of gas to Ikhlaq,
the prophethood of water to Amjad,
The prophethood of mischief to Nadeem
and Farid,
and commands them to help each other out.
So this way, when one of these individuals requires electricity, they will ask Murtaza to lend them some electricity.
So now, the five messengers,
Adam was granted the prophethood of Qalb (spiritual heart),
Abraham of the Soul,
Moses of Sirri,
Jesus of Khafi,
and Muhammad (s) of Akhfah.
Now, Adam came in the beginning and he taught his people the Activation of the Heart as he had the prophethood of Qalb.
He had no problems, since that was the very first knowledge that was introduced; there was no other knowledge.
He rendered the knowledge of Qalb and departed in ease.
No other knowledge had been introduced.
Then came Abraham with the prophethood of the Soul.
Now, every nation must start from Adam.
Although Abraham brought the knowledge of the soul and taught his people,
however, before he begins with his knowledge, he must start with the knowledge of the heart through Adam,
which is why, ethereally, there is a pact [between Abraham and Adam].
Therefore, Abraham must inform Adam of all the people in his nation that have infirmed spiritual hearts,
and request Adam to spiritually heal them.
Regardless of what nation or prophet you belong to,
if there is a problem with the spiritual heart,
only the prophet that is the owner of that particular knowledge and prophethood can treat you.
For instance, if you are from the nation of Prophet Muhammad (s) and there is an ailment in your spiritual heart,
you would not be aware of this, it would be your spiritual master that knows about it,
and your spiritual master then contacts Prophet Muhammad (s) and says,
‘O Messenger of God, one of my disciples has an infirmed spiritual heart’,
then Prophet Muhammad (s) contacts Adam and requests him to treat the ailment.
For this treatment, a special permission is required;
the spiritual master, permitted by Prophet Muhammad (s), spiritually links with Adam,
and due to that special contact, the soul of Adam enters into the body of the spiritual master momentarily,
and then he spiritually treats his disciple and cures the ailment of the spiritual heart.
So, Abraham came and along with him came the knowledge of the soul,
however, he was dependent upon Adam for his help
Whenever there was an issue regarding the spiritual heart, he would have to request Adam’s aid.
Then came Moses with the knowledge of the third soul.
However, spiritual progression does not begin with the third soul,
so he also had to initiate his people with the knowledge of Adam.
If the problem has to do with the heart, then there is no progress [until it is treated].
What would Moses have to do in order to render his own benevolence upon his own people?
First, he would render the benevolence of Adam’s prophethood,
then the benevolence of Abraham’s prophethood,
and then it would be time for the knowledge of the prophethood of Moses.
Only then did one become a complete Ummati of Moses - when one’s Qalb, Soul and Sirri would be enlightened.
Only when all three of these souls would be enlightened would one become a complete Ummati.
Then came Jesus Christ, who brought along the knowledge of the fourth soul.
However, he too had to start with the knowledge of the Qalb,
because the first prophethood, the first sainthood, the very first instance of faith and the very first religion began with Adam.
Therefore, everything must commence from him.
First, the Qalb is enlightened, then the Soul, then Sirri, and then Khafi.
Then came Muhammad (saw), he brought the knowledge of Akhfah, the fifth soul.
But where must it all begin?
And what did the Prophet (s) say? 'O' Son of Adam...'
The Prophet (s) did not say, 'O' people of my Ummah',
he indicated [towards all of mankind] ‘O Son of Adam,
there is a lump of flesh in your body, if it is corrected, your entire body is corrected’.
This is where all knowledge begins.
So, this completes the five types of knowledge brought by the five messengers.
And they must help and support each other.
Why is the religion of Muhammad (s) the greatest among all religions?
It is one thing for a Hindu to say ‘my religion is the greatest’
or for a Sikh to say ‘my religion is the greatest’
or for a Christian to say ‘my religion is the greatest’,
similarly a Muslim would also say ‘my religion is the greatest’
but that’s not what I’m talking about here.
I am telling you the reality.
And do not think my religion is Islam.
My religion is Gohar Shahi.
I am simply telling you the truth that the religion of Islam is actually and factually greater than all religions.
This is the truth.
Now, why is it the truth?
I am not preaching Islam either.
I am not asking you all to become Muslims.
I am only saying what is true.
So why is Islam the greatest religion?
Because with the arrival of Muhammad (saw) all five knowledges pertaining to the five souls [of the breast] had been introduced.
Now, with the help of these five souls, you can reach the higher realms.
Before the arrival of Muhammad (s), the knowledge of only four souls was available,
before that, the knowledge of three souls; two souls and one soul.
Those who had the knowledge of one soul were content because they had attained a connection with God (through the heart).
They were not aware of the greater knowledge that was to be revealed later, otherwise they would have wanted more.
When Abraham came along after Adam, those that found knowledge of two souls thought themselves to be greatly fortunate,
because they now had two types of knowledge, so they thought their ranks were elevated.
Then came Moses with the knowledge of the third soul,
then came Jesus, they now had four types of knowledge, they thought themselves even greater.
And then came Muhammad (s), and with him came the knowledge of the fifth soul.
So now ponder, would the one who possesses the knowledge of one soul be closer to God or the one who possesses the knowledge of two souls?
Or would the one with the knowledge of three souls be closer, or the one with two?
Similarly, would the one with the knowledge of five souls be closer or the one with four?
Prophet Muhammad (s) brought the knowledge of the fifth soul,
and this is the reason why Islam is the greatest of all religions.
However, when does this religion become the greatest, and who is it the greatest for?
Only those who have acquired the knowledge of all five souls would be the greatest.
Those who have not acquired the knowledge of even one soul and call themselves Muslims, they are not the eminent ones.
Which Muslim is actually great?
The one who acquired the knowledge of all five souls.
For it is this that would grant eminence.
There is no other reason.
So, amongst Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Jews, who is greater today?
None, because the hearts of all are void of divine energy.
The ladder of honour would make sense if one had some amount of divine energy, another had more,
and another had even more; the one with the most [divine energy], would be the most eminent.
Hindus today are oblivious of the knowledge of Adam, they are even unaware of the name of their prophet.
They do not know that the name of their prophet is Adam Safi Allah.
If they are unaware of the name of their prophet, how would they be aware of the knowledge of their prophet?
Sikhs and Hindus are linked to the knowledge brought by Adam,
but they are unaware that the name of their prophet is Adam - they refer to him as Shankar.
Despite being linked to Adam they do not possess the teachings of Adam, so it is useless, isn’t it? You have not attained anything.
If you follow Abraham but you do not possess the teachings of Abraham, nor Adam, so what eminence have you achieved?
The Progeny of Israel was God’s favourite nation but this does not apply to the Jews of today.
How many of your souls have been enlightened for you to be God’s favourite?
You may call yourself ‘favourite’ but God’s favourites were those whose spiritual sensory system was awakened and enlightened;
those whose hearts shone with the divine light of Adam;
those who reflected the attribute of Abraham being the Friend of God;
those who reflected the attribute of Moses being able to communicate with God.
They were the greatest. They were the favourites of God at that time.
So if we are to say that we are great because we are Muslims,
my dear brothers, there is no doubt that God has sent Islam as the greatest religion,
and the Ummati of Muhammad (s) have been sent as the greatest nation,
but you must also understand the mechanism behind it.
Who were the ones that were eminent?
Greater than Adam’s nation was the nation of Muhammad (s).
Greater than Abraham’s nation was the nation of Muhammad (s).
Greater than Moses’ nation was the nation of Muhammad (s).
Greater than Jesus’ nation was the nation of Muhammad (s).
Why was it greater than Adam’s nation?
Because in the nation of Adam only one soul would commemorate God’s name.
We belong to Muhammad (s). We are the servants of Muhammad (s).
All five souls in our breast commemorate God.
This is the reason why God approves of us.
This is what made us the most eminent.
There is the Ummati of Abraham, who has enlightened two souls,
but we are the Ummati of Muhammad (s)
and we have all five souls engaged in the commemoration of God’s name. This is why we are eminent.
The nation of Moses has three enlightened souls;
the nation of Jesus has four,
but we are the nation of Muhammad (s) and all five of our souls are enlightened with the name and light of God.
This is why we are eminent.
Those who were truly eminent were called Muslims,
and those who are worthless are also called Muslims today,
and this is why the latter still consider themselves to be eminent.
However, if all five of your souls begin to commemorate God’s name today, then you shall regain your eminence.
Each messenger was sent with the knowledge of one soul.
The Akhfah is the fifth and last soul in the human breast.
There is no other soul after it. This is why prophethood was terminated.
Therefore, it was these souls that rendered eminence.
Today, a Sikh and Hindu, who have nothing to do with Islam, if they have enlightened all five of their souls,
then wouldn’t they be counted amongst the eminent ones?
This is the benevolence of HDE Gohar Shahi.
The eminence comes from these souls.
And if you have not awakened and enlightened them then even if you have a Muslim name,
even if you go to Mecca and Medina, if the aspects of your being that render you eminence are dormant,
then do not consider yourself eminent.
Eminent are those who have the element of eminence within them.
For instance, this long-standing concept of Muslims being the greatest, [they say], ‘We are the greatest of all’.
No, ‘we’ are not the greatest.
The greatest are those who have been bestowed complete enlightenment by God through Prophet Muhammad (s).
Eminent are those who have achieved complete enlightenment of the five souls.
And those who had become eminent loved everyone.
They would never belittle the Hindus, the Christians and the Sikhs.
They embraced everyone, the eminent ones. They loved everyone.
The greater one is, the more humble they shall be, they are never arrogant.
[They never say] ‘I am most eminent. No one is greater than me’.
This is what happens in the world, however, those whose spiritual sensory system is activated with divine light,
those who have the presence of God in their hearts,
those who have all souls of the breast enlightened,
such people never bear hatred for anyone.
They do not begrudge nor are jealous of anyone.
They love everyone.
They are never arrogant about their eminence either because the more eminent one is the more humble and down-to-earth they are.
Now, the Ummah of Muhammad (s) was the greatest,
however what made them great was taken away from them.
Now, what of their greatness?
You do not even possess the knowledge of Adam, why do you consider yourself an Ummati of Muhammad (s)?
So who are you?
You are not an Ummati of Muhammad (s),
because you have not attained the benevolence of his prophethood.
People talk about Faizan e Nabuwat but where is it to be seen?
Is the knowledge of the Prophet (s) in growing your beard or wearing a turban?
What is the benevolence of Prophet Muhammad (s)’s prophethood?
When the benevolence of divine light from the ocean of divine light in the Prophet (s)’s heart reaches your heart.
You haven't even seen the Prophet (s)!
So how are you eminent? Had you been eminent, would you be asking me about seeing the Prophet (s)?
You’re so eminent that you haven’t even seen your own prophet.
What kind of eminence do you have?
Those who have true eminence have inner serenity;
they close their eyes, lower their head towards their heart, and see God therein.
God is not far from them and they are not far from God.
They are the most eminent.
