There is no historical evidence to determine
the origin of our world. The age of this world is hypothetically set at 1.2
billion years. But the world existed in the past and continues to exist now.
All the human beings are progeny of Adam. We are
sons of someone and our father is someone's son. Similarly, our mothers had
mothers and this chain continues. Irrespective of differences of skin colour,
we all are progeny of Adam and Eve. Without them mankind would not have
existed. Colour variations depend on the climate of different regions. People
inhabiting in regions with hotter climates have darker skin colour. Regions which
receive less sunlight are inhabited by people with lighter skin colour. People
living on equator are relatively short. But all human beings have similar
features. Height depends on geographical difference.
There are two thinking patters in the world. One
flows from Adam. This pattern teaches obedience to Allah, God, Ishwar, Nirvana
and Bhagwan. The other originates from Satan. This encourages humans to disobey
the Creator of this universe. Allah sent His messengers to guide human beings
about these two good and bad life patterns or patterns which lead either to
heaven or hell. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was sent after Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac,
Joseph, Moses and Christ as blessing to all the worlds, to complete the
teachings of oneness of Allah (tauhid). He disseminated the message of Allah
and attested what all the messengers had said before him as well as the Holy Books
bestowed on them by Allah. He told the progeny of Adam that what he was
preaching was earlier preached by his brothers, the messengers of Allah. All
the messengers were his brothers and he was their brother. That he was a descendant
of Ishmael and Abraham was his grandfather. That Isaac was his brother and son
of Abraham.
Satan tried to cast doubts and suspicions on
the teachings of messengers which in fact were the teaching of Adam and Eve. He
was successful in his endeavor to an extent. On the other hand, Allah's
messengers continued to spread the knowledge given by Allah, God, Raheem and
Rahman to the progeny of Adam, Simultaneously, Satan who had rebelled against
his Creator put together a group of his followers that always endeavored to
divide Adam's progeny on the basis of misleading beliefs, racial hauteur, avarice
and difference of skin colour. This party of Satan tried to distort the teaching
of the messengers of Allah in the name of family, tradition using the weapons
of greed and avarice. But the true disciples of Allah's messengers i.e. Aulia
Allah (friends of Allah) always struggled to teach and preach true knowledge bequeathed
to them by their masters-the messengers of Allah.
Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) preached the teaching of Adam. After him
Aulia Allah(Allah's friends) invited people to Sirat e Mustaqeem i.e. right
path and right thinking pattern. They preached the knowledge taught to Adam in accordance
with mental capacities of human beings which kept changing with time.
The mission of Qalandar Baba Aulia is to preach that we all are
brothers. Our introduction differs in accordance with race and colour, tribe
and geography. But we all are sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. The perception
will produce love and affection among human beings and encourage them to
co-exist and avoid discord.
Allah's messengers laid stressed on the fact that Allah is one and He
wants humans to live with mutual love and affection. We all are brothers, sisters
and cousins to each other.
This is the mission of Qalandar Shaoor.
We pray that we all reside in our countries, cities and districts
and in deference to our relation with Ishmael and Isaac avoid setting each
other's homes on fire in deference ln or relation with Adam we protect our brothers
and sisters and follow the teachings of Allah's messengers. This world was made
for us as our home. We must adorn it with flowers and trees, protect it and
despite racial differences, consider ourselves progeny of Adam and Eve and behave
like siblings.
Allah created us expand and populate this world. He beautified it
will rainbow, sun, moon, colourful and flowers and butterflies, seas, river,
grasslands, and charming twittering birds. He enriched it with resources such
as copper, gold, silver and various gases. He endowed it with horses and camels
and helped build aircrafts, trains, cars and other communication systems.
Allah says, "Heaven is the abode for those who live happily
and obey us. And for those who are not content, who hurt others and violate
their rights, is misery. They should await hellfire".
Allah who is the real Creator and the Overlord, wants His creatures
to be happy and satisfied. But unlike other animals, Adam's progeny is
thankless, miserable and sick. Buffaloes do not wear glasses. It has not been
observed that birds and other creatures do not massacre their own kind. Sparrows
and fish stay happy and satisfied. Butterflies spread happiness and colours. Fireflies
fight darkness, ants and honeybees and other insects protect their species and
benefit other creatures. If a crow's corpse is displayed in the open, other
crows take strong exception to it and protest against the killing at the high
pitch.
But man is depressed and sad.
Man tries to erase the colours of this colourful world. Flowers spread
fragrance but man through his enmities and mischief makes the environment heavy
and malodorous. Allah desires his creature to remain happy and content in this
world and hereafter. This indeed, is the desire of our father, Adam and mother,
Eve. In fact, this is the desire of every parent. Allah's love for His creature
is more than the love of seventy mothers. We must also love Allah's creature.
