We are a pathetic lot, humanity. WE argue, and indeed are willing to kill one another over differences contained in a cup full of water, while awash in a sea of commonality. We do all manner of cruelty to each other while hautily claiming to walk as an equal to God. Oh we bow low to the Deity, but in our harts we walk as kings, all knowing of the flaws of our enemies, while oblivious to the fallen nature of ourselves.
We reap hatred for that is all we bother to sow. Mercy, the mercy granted to us by the Divine, we covet for ourselves while dispensing war, murder, and vengance upon our brothrs.
And when, in due course we reap all that and more, what then? Do we, in vain, call out to God for mercy? The mercy we, with closed minds and harts, withold from our brothers? The mercy we shine upon ourselves alone?
Is God so closed that he cannot love a man unless some ritual be done? There is no God but God. As Chritians and Muslims and Jews we agree on this. There is no God but God. Yet we act the part of Gods when inflicting violence on our brothers and sisters in the name of a greater good that never seems to manifest itself.
To rot in hell is our reward. Killing and hating, and breading viciousness generation after generation. And still we call upon our merciful God. Oh that God is merciful for we all, Muslim and Christian, Jew and gentile, need that mercy for the unforgivable crimes we, in the name of God the merciful, have inflicted upon fellow believers.
God have mercy upon us. For if we wait for mercy to flow from our fellow believrs we will be waiting in vain. There is no God but God.
Peace be with you, Salam Al A'kum.
