HAQEEQAT E MEHDI

When Allah created all souls at beginning, there was no religion. Then Allah asked “Am I not your God?” Souls unanimously answered “Yes! Why not?” Then Allah showed them pleasures of the world, mostly souls rushed towards it (it means they gave their attention to others but Allah breaking their earlier promise). But some souls did not give their attention to others but Allah and did not take interest in pleasures of the world. It was the foundation of their religion that called ‘Religion of Nature’. So, one class liked Allah only whereas the second one verbally believed in Allah but practically disbelieved or gave their attention to others leaving Him. Allah did not like that act of breaking promise.

After the creation of world, souls of both types had been coming to this world and acted according to their heavenly promise. Allah had been sending Prophets as per needs and circumstances who took books with them through which human beings have been reminded that promise. The souls, who selected Allah, attached with Prophets and fulfilled their heavenly promise by acting as per Prophets’ instructions. While the other class had not only refused Prophets’ teachings but gave them much difficulties also on educating about Allah. Though some souls of the second class accepted religions of those Prophets but holding infidelity did not act fully as per Prophets’ teachings. This type of souls was called hypocrites meaning thereby that externally they seemed believers of that Prophet’s religion but internally became away from the real act of that religion. Prophets called this type of souls as detective souls. It means that they were related to infidels but lived in virtuous souls.

There was also a third class of souls at beginning. Those were the souls who remained in dilemma about the pleasures of the world and Allah; and could not be able to decide about where they should go, either to Allah or pleasures of the world. Decision about the fate of this type of souls left upon their character in the world. If they joined any good soul, prophet or saint in the world then met with Allah and if they attracted by some disbeliever (false prophet or saint) then attached with the same class of souls.

As many Prophets came in the world became related to both types of souls in which they fought with disbelievers as per their own methods but could not finish them completely. In other words, those disbeliever souls could not be finished from the world. But when the Last Messiah will come in the world, he will totally remove the falsehood from the world and there will be remained only those virtuous souls who selected nothing but Allah at beginning and since all of them had one religion at beginning, therefore, the very religion of eternity will be established in Imam Mehdi’s period which is called in Quran as Deen-e-Elahi, Deen-e-Allah, Deen-e-Qayyam, Deen-e-Haqq, Deen-e-Khalis etc. Deen-e-Elahi is the soul of all previous Prophets’ religions and all the religions established through Prophets have got life from Religion of Nature i.e. Deen-e-Elahi and are roots of the same. There is no sect in this Religion.

This could be understood by this way also that, from Adam to Idris, all people has one religion. After that, Prophets went on to come and religions went on to form gradually. But when Imam Mehdi will come then, like Adam’s period, there will be only one religion of all. People, meeting with Allah through Imam Mehdi, will become one nation as per below verse of Quran:

• “People were a single nation.” (It means before coming of Prophets, people had only one religion). (Al-Baqra, Verse 213, Chapter 1, Part 10)

• Hazrat Abu Hurraira describes that Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: I am the closest friend of Jesus both in this world and next. All Prophets are brothers like cousins having different mothers but same religion. (Sehee Bukhari, Kitaab-ul-Anbia, Rakam 6)

• Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH) said: Religion will be ended by Imam Mehdi as it was started by me in the beginning. (Kanuz-ul-Haqaiq, Sayyuti, Al-Haavi lil Fatawa)

• Imam Baqar (RA) said that Allah will reveal his religion by Imam Mehdi prevailing it over the world, though idolaters dislike it. (Bahaar ul Anwaar)

• Imam Mehdi (AS) will unite all the sects and religions on the subjective name of Allah Almighty. (Arjah ul Mataalab)

It has been said commonly in all the religions and holy books that all people will have only one religion in the last period. It has also been said in all perceptions that everyone will have one faith in the last period and will follow one religion like one nation. This religion will be the essence of all religions. Quran says about this very religion:

“And you see people joining Allah’s Religion in droves” (Sura Al-nasar, Verse 2, Chapter 30, Part 35)

“So set your face with absolute concentration (and single-minded devotion) to the obedience of Allah. Nature of Allah is on which He has created mankind; the instinct created by Allah will never be changed. This is correct religion but most people do not know (these realities).” (Sura Al-Rome, Verse 30, Chapter 21, Part 7)

Remember that once a companion of Mughal-e-Azam Akbar has told about the religion of Allah, that Imam Mehdi will come in the end and combine all religions. On that he thought why not I should do this experience? He, picking up some teachings from Islam, Hinduism and other religions, invented a new religion and named it “Religion of Allah” (Lately known as Deen-e-Akbari). But since it was Akbar’s own thinking, therefore, failed and Hazrat Mujadad Alif Sani (RA) motivated a strong movement against it due to which reproached by King Akbar and became imprisoned. Ultimately Religion of Akbar remained only in historical books. But the religion to which Imam Mehdi will distribute would be from Allah. Therefore, it will be established correctly and with real sense.

In the period of Guru Nanak, Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs also became closer to each other but this situation stayed for some time (among just three religions) and then got its end.

Deen-e-Elahi is called Religion of Allah because Allah is neither Muslim nor Christian nor does he offer prayer nor have fast. He is exempted from all these things. His own religion is Ishq and love. He loved with his Beloved (PBUH). Therefore, Deen-e-Elahi is also called Ishq-e-Elahi, in which Allah Himself is Love (Ishiq), Lover (Ashiq) and Beloved (Mashooq). Deen-e-Elahi is nothing but love (Ishq) and love resides in souls, thus this is also called religion of souls. A person, whose soul gets love (Ishq), enters into Deen-e-Elahi, no matter of what religion his body relates. In the period of Imam Mehdi, all religions will become one after joining Deen-e-ELahi.

Imam Mehdi will come for introducing Deen-e-Elahi not for preaching any previous Prophet’s religion. However, it will be a special blessing from Allah that Imam Mehdi will be from Islam but his teaching will not for preaching Islam. Jesus will also come to him for entering into Deen-e-Elahi because, in this religion, both prophet and follower will equally be eligible entering into this religion.

Since Last Messiah Imam Mehdi will establish this religion of nature developing in the world, hence his teachings will be so nice that people from every religion will gradually come very close to him and everyone will accept it without any hesitation. Hence, there will be no clash or conflict on the name of religion. He will have access of every religion’s worshipping places.
