Message of Peace - Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

8MESSAGE OF PEACEImpossible as it is, yet by way of argument let us assumethat Jesus as did claim to be God. In that case, for him toconfine his beneficence to such a small circle as the House ofIsrael does not behove the magnanimity of God. Had he beenGod, was he God only for the House of Israel to the exclusionof all other nations? He is known to have suggested thathe had no concern for those who did not belong to theHouse of Israel.In short, the Jews and the Christians do believe that allProphets and Messengers have been appearing from amongthem, and that Divine scriptures were revealed to them alone.Thereafter, according to the beliefs of the Christians, theinstitution of revelation and communion with God endedwith Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) as though a seal hadbeen set on the institution of revelation from God.Unfortunately the Hindus of the Arya sect also entertain asimilar belief. Like the Jews and Christians, who restrict theinstitution of Prophethood and Divine revelation exclusivelyto their people and deny the honour of Divine revelation toothers, the Aryas also, unfortunately for the human race, haveadopted the same doctrine. They too believe that the blessingof Divine communication was never bestowed to any peopleoutside the domain of the Aryan race. Again it is India alonewhich, according to them, is exclusively blessed by God forthe selection of the four ‘Rishis’ from its soil; it is Sanskritalone, the language of the Vedas, which has always been themedium of instruction chosen by God. One can safelyconclude from this, that both these nations do not considerGod to be the Lord [Provident] of all the worlds. Notwithstandingthis, He is still proclaimed to be Lord of the Universe
