His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi’s Revolutionary Message for Humanity

The following is a translation of His Holiness Younus AlGohar's speech (video above).

What is a Revolution?

A revolution is something that changes the entire human history; it is a change in the course of history. A revolution changes the established mindset of people. It changes the cycle of ethical values, religious values, etc. that have prevailed and been in practice for centuries. Then, a historic personality comes and changes the course of history by introducing a new concept and method which humanity can practically apply upon themselves - and what previously happened is never repeated again. The new revolution then becomes the decree of life (Dastoor-e-Hayat).

Many people say the religious leader of Iran, Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, brought about a revolution. The changes he introduced were put into practice as long as he lived; afterwards, people went back to their previous ways. Therefore, this was not a revolution.

If it is said that Jesus Christ brought about a revolution, [if this were the case], then humanity would have forgotten the previous Messengers and their teachings and would only remember the teachings introduced by Jesus Christ. Only in this case would it be a revolution. Did Prophet Mohammad bring about a revolution? No he didn't. If he had, then the world would have forgotten all previous Messengers and their teachings; all would adopt the teachings of Prophet Mohammad and this would become history. 

The poet Alama Iqbal was able to suss out what would be the potential change that Imam Mehdi would bring and introduce to this world.

Alama Iqbal said, 'The world and humanity is in the dire need of somebody who can change the course of history and topple up the established thoughts of the world.'

Imam Mehdi shall introduce a new ideology that shall shake the foundation of all established religions and set humanity on a new path.

Every prophet and religion has stated that God is one and he is worthy of worship. But His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi said, 

'Worship is fruitless if one does not obtain divine love from it.'

Now is the time to focus on obtaining God's love rather than worship. In mosques, temples and churches, all are worshipping God - whether they call upon him as Allah, Bhagwan, Elohim or God, etc. Nothing new is happening. The revolution would be that humanity, which has become bored with the rituals of worship, will shun the practice of worship and turn towards divine love.

This is the Revolutionary Message that HDE Gohar Shahi is giving to the human race:

The Muslim claims, 'I am the best of all,' whereas the Jew claims, 'My status is even higher than the Muslim,' and the Christian claims, 'I am better than both the Muslims and the Jews, and the rest of the religions, because I am from the nation of God's Son.' But HDE Gohar Shahi declares that the best among all is the one who possesses God's love, though he may not adopt any religion.

Now, the course of history has been changed because God and God's love was attached to the religions. Religions taught divine love, but society has now come to the point where, despite extensive worship and religious practices, people are unable to obtain divine love. HDE Gohar Shahi has terminated the conditions set by religions and their importance through this message.          

If Muslims have any objections to this message, they should read the Quranic verse:

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

[7:34]

Every Ummah (nation) has an expiration date after which the Ummah is terminated.

How can we tell if an Ummah has been terminated? Upon termination, more people do not become Momin in that religion; sects are formed and it becomes subject to a great deal of mischief. People of the same religion accuse each other of being Kafir (infidels) and Munafiq (hypocrites), and carry out attacks on each other's mosques. If they were all followers of one Ummah, then why would people of the same Quran, of the same Kalima (Declaration of Faith) carry out such attacks on one another? We understand that religions have been terminated.

Muslims, Jews and Christians all adopt a religion to obtain God's love. Now, HDE Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi has given humanity this ideology to abandon the religions (because of which you are trying to degrade each other) and strive to obtain divine love. Why don't you obtain God's love, so that every man becomes greatest of all? If everyone obtains God's love then unity would be established. When everyone becomes equal, this is unification - and unification is togetherness.

Esoteric (Spiritual) Knowledge was a part of every religion, however the condition was that people had to first learn the Exoteric (Outer) Knowledge, through which they would struggle to obtain purification of the Nafs (Ego) and then acquire spiritual knowledge. But now when all celestial books have become subject to adulteration, what should people do? Prophet-hood and saint-hood has been terminated, so new Exoteric Knowledge cannot be introduced. Therefore, God has terminated this chapter of Exoteric Knowledge and has sent Imam Mehdi/Messiah/Kalki Avatar to dispense Esoteric Knowledge through His Merciful Glance (Nazar). The religions are no longer needed and this is the revolutionary message. Because Exoteric Knowledge has becomes subject to mischief, through this knowledge, one can no longer reach the ultimate destination - which is God. Hence, God has introduced a new system. The spiritual grace which was obtained through the religions, Exoteric Knowledge and then Esoteric Knowledge is now being dispensed through the Merciful Glance of HDE Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi! After being disheartened by fruitless rituals of religions, some people have left religion while others continue to engage in extensive worship. But because the religions are no longer valid, the devil has intervened and he instills the hearts of those who continue to engage in physical worship - without enlightenment of the heart - with negative vices such as arrogance and mischief. The madrassas (religious schools) have given rise to these devils and now their leader, the Anti-Christ (Dajjal), has arrived. The Dajjal is propagating what has been terminated by God and Imam Mehdi is propagating what God has now introduced.
