"Seek they then other than Allah's religion?  And to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned."
Holy Qur�an, Surah 3 verse 82

God�s True Religion reflects the very nature in which He has created all human beings, and whatever constitutes life, which is Submission to His Divine Will operating in obedience to His Divine Laws as seen from the Heavens above to the Earth below. There should be no arguments or disputes between Muslims, Christians and Jews over basic principles of Belief since all three Religions claim to believe in the One God and His Divine Unity, and embrace all the Prophets and Messengers that He has sent making no distinction between any of them. But yet there remain terrible divisions and shattering conflicts among the People of God which nullifies the Existence of God in any of them, because in discord God�s Power departs. It is Satan�s World which separates God from Religion and Science from Religion so that we have no Unified Force Field to integrate God�s Oneness and Divine Unity in concert with Total humanity.

"Say: We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord; we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit." (Surah 3, verse 3) This verse from the Holy Qur�an constitutes the expression of God�s True Religion. That which seeks to promote disunity and separation from one another, leading to the disintegration of the whole, is not from God, it is from Satan.

It is the Nature of God�s True Religion that should be studied by religious scholars and communities rather than distinguishing rivalries being promoted between the various names given to each Religious Creed, and School of Thought, for He, Allah, is Supreme as the Revelator and Generator of Himself through the Revealing of His Own Proper Name, which is ALLAH! When we separate this Revealed Holy Name of God into syllables and parts with its appropriate sound values, we hear and see the word, �All,� which means everything in Creation.

Further observation reveals the word, "Law" in the name A-LLah, This implies that the Name, Allah, means All and All and is "A Law" unto Himself which is the very Essence of the Divine Creation. In Arabic, we have all the words which constitute the Uniqueness of Allah�s Being which is "La-Ilaha-Illalah," meaning, There is no God But Allah. His very Name constitutes the Nature of His True Religion which means entering into a State of Peace and Submission to His Divine Will or Law.

Islam is given as the Name of God�s True Religion in the Revelation of the Holy Qur�an to define God�s Primordial State of Existence which comprises a state of Complete Peace and Harmony, the embodiment of His Natural Laws of Existence made perfect with the Utterance of His Name in consolidation with the Word Be, and it is! Taking the Prophets and Servants of God as objects of worship besides Allah, the Divine Supreme Being, is condemned by God as shirk or polytheism or idolatry.

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." (Surah 3, verse 84) Let us remember that the Name Islam constitutes the very Nature and Essence of God, Himself. To be a Muslim simply means to submit our will to the Will of Divine Law which is the Nature of Allah in which He has Created all human beings, whether male or female.

"And when Allah made a covenant through the prophets: Certainly what I have given you of Book and Wisdom- then a Messenger comes to you verifying that which is with you, you shall believe in him, and you shall aid him. He said: Do you affirm and accept My compact in this (matter)? They said: We do affirm. He said: Then bear witness, and I (too) am of the bearers of witness with you." --Holy Qur�an, Surah 3, verse 80
