A Rival Unto Allah
April 27th, 2009
I asked the Prophet, “What is the greatest sin in the Sight of Allah?” He said, “That you set up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you.” I said, “That is indeed a great sin.”
~ Hadith, Bukhari Vol 6, Book 60, Number 4
Baha’is believe that all of the world’s religions really are just one; that there is no one way to get to God; that one religion is not better than the other; that the world religions are not, and should not, be rivals with one another. Baha’is believe there is only one God; that all of the world’s religions are actually worshiping the same God. It is our human interventions that make these different dispensations of God’s message to be rivals with one another.
