God and the God-fearing
By D A Sait

This seemingly boundless universe, stretching far beyond our imagination and consisting of billions of stars, planets, solar systems and galaxies, has not come into existence all by itself. It has to have a creator, and that creator is God. Every nook and corner of this entire universe is governed by identical laws of nature. Hence there are not many gods but only one God.

The universe was brought into existence by the All-Wise God with some definite purpose and a set programme. Each atom of this universe be speak of order, discipline, organization and balance - testifying to some Great Mind that has shaped it.

Man was not born as a result of some accident. He was created as superior to all other creatures, to act as the vice- gerent of God upon the earth, blessed with intelligent and rational thinking. He has been given the power to choose between good and evil deeds. This freedom makes him answerable to God and his fellow creatures both for his deeds. His conscience guides his steps to discriminate between what is good and what is bad. He may commit sins and mistakes but is also capable of repentance and the ability to correct himself.

The God-fearing with a good moral character, whatever their race, are closer to God and dearer to their fellow-beings. Class distinction and untouchability on account of one's birth is a social curse and a crime against humanity. Every human being is clean by birth and one's touch does not make another unclean. One may mix freely with his fellowman and partake of meals with him, irrespective of his caste, clan or religion.

Woman is neither a devil's agent nor the root cause of sin. She is man's counterpart and completely his equal in the eyes of God.

She is to be respected no less than man. As mother she holds the highest position in human relationship and is worthy of the highest regard.

Hi Mr.Saitji,
Who are you? God's brother or appointed agent?
In response to the first three paragraphs of your article, my question is "How do you know". If you do not have a logical answer then the rest of your article is irrelevant.
Wonder why DH publishes such silly articles

I cannot imagine how anybody could say that all that exists is because of a creator called God and that there is only one God? Is that arrogance or ignorance showing up? If there is a God, why is it there are so many flaws in "his creation?". Oh yes, I get it. It is because that is his will, and man is superior to all beings, which means man can kill and decimate anything on Earth? Isn't that arrogance causing all the harm today (global warming, ethnic strife?) God or no God, Save the Earth

This is the basic essence of all the great religions of the world.if humanity were to strive and achieve peace, these are the foundations on which peace can be achieved.
