HH Younus AlGohar answers a viewer's question about Siraat-e-Mustaqeem (The Straight Path leading to God), what is the real meaning behind it and how you can obtain it.
Main Points:
-- The Koran mentions Siraat-e-Mustaqeem in the very beginning, however, what it is in itself is not explained. Siraat-e-Mustaqeem is not an action you carry out in order to obtain it. Siraat-e-Mustaqeem in actuality is the obedience of your Spiritual Guide.
- Wahhabis and Deobandis try to misguide people by saying the verse in Koran which mentions Siraat-e-Mustaqeem means that one should not ask prophets or saints for help because God is enough for them. However, HDE Gohar Shahi gave the true explanation: You cannot obtain guidance without God's help and God's help comes in the form of saints and spiritual dignitaries.
- God has created mankind for the purpose of his worship. People are already engaged in worship so why is it that their worship will be thrown back in their faces? Why is their worship not guaranteeing them entrance to Paradise? So, which worship has God created us for? It is not the physical worship you carry out with your body. Your body is not your reality, it is your soul.
- It is the soul which is supposed to engage in worship in order to fulfil the type of worship we were created for. How does one engage the souls in worship? With the help of God which comes in the form of Spiritual Dignitaries, they are able to access our souls, enlighten them, and connect them to God. It is for such people it is said 'Follow the path of those whom God has rewarded'.
- God's reward does not come in the form of wealth, it is reaching the station of Seeing God. Those who have seen God and his image has been stamped on their heart, sitting in their company will enlighten your heart and the Divine Light that is generated within the heart travels towards God, another rope of Divine Light travels towards your heart from God and the point where the two ropes join together is Siraat-e-Mustaqeem.
Hugh: So, we are going to do a second interview now and change the topics up a little bit. We are going to be talking about society, unification and peace. The last interview was about some of the problem so we’re gonna hopefully get to some of the solutions in this conversation.
Hildegard: Yes, and we seem to have the perfect magazine at hand called ‘Messiah Herald: Become the Master of Your Own Being’ and maybe I was jumping the gun a little bit half an hour ago but that, I think, really, is the hot topic today. Steve, talk to us about the magazine and the purpose behind it.
Steve: So, this is a monthly magazine that we issue and it is actually being spread all over the world now. And the beauty of it is because His Holiness Gohar Shahi has made spirituality accessible to everybody in this world. We see the increase in the material world, upgrades in technologies, this is an upgrade in spirituality. It makes it accessible to everybody. There is even a step in this month’s one where people can just download this from MessiahHerald.com or get it from the guise here or come to any one of our places and get this.
Page 12 has an actual step-by-step guide, how you can reawaken your heart. It is as simple as that. A 3 step guide that anybody can do. Doesn’t matter what religion or what faith you are. We have seen in the history that people have had to go away on missions, they have had to go sit around gurus, it is just not acceptable now. It is not possible that people can do this. All I heard of spirituality before is like the George Harrison - [inaudible] - the Beatles; you’ve got money, you’ve got time, you can go off and go to these retreats. It’s just not possible these days. So, His Holiness has beautifully made it accessible for all. I thoroughly recommend this magazine to all the viewers. As you said, it mentions about conquering yourself, self-awareness, knowing yourself to know God.
Hugh: I noticed on the cover of that one it says ‘Is the Promised Messiah Already Here?’
YAG: That is the question.
Hugh: What’s the answer?
YAG: Let’s find out.
Hildegard: Before we go there, if I just may. I understand you have a lot of workshops and you give lectures online. Here on this book it actually says ‘broadcast live, everyday at 10PM UK time’, tell me a little bit about how that works.
Steve: Yeah, 10PM UK time, His Holiness gives us that slot just teaching about love and spirituality. As you saw on Saturday, very up-to-date information, current news, current situations. And He thoroughly welcomes anybody to ask any questions. They can log on and ask questions and they will always be answered.
Hildegard: So, individuals can type into the chat and say ‘here, this is my issue, I would like your opinion’?
Steve: Certainly can and they do everyday.
Hildegard: This is like, really hands on.
Steve: This is what we need. This is a worldwide - we want everybody in the world to know about it so the internet is the perfect vehicle [for it].
Hildegard: Okay, so let’s talk a little bit about the coming of the Messiah. Because many religions have claimed this for thousands of years and they are always those who say nothing happens, or ‘2012 the world will end’, obviously nothing happened. [Inaudible] in the invisible world lots have happened. So, His Holiness, what is your take on the coming of the Messiah?
YAG: Messiah is related to the Jewish religion. It is the Messianic thought; there will be a Messiah. There is a lot of conflict on the word ‘Messiah’ because Christians think Jesus is Messiah and people from Judaism think there is another Messiah. And there was a problem when Jesus was arrested by the Romans, the Jewish scholars complained that Jesus calls himself Messiah, ask him who is he?
So, there is a concept of a Messianic figure in almost every religion. Hindus have this belief that there will a Messiah, a type of saviour, then Muslims have the same belief that there will be a saviour, according to their faith. And then, we have the Sikh community, they also have the same concept. So, this concept of an End Time personality, who, according to every religion will strengthen the religions. If it is a Hindu Messiah he will strengthen the Hindu religion and the followers of Hinduism. And Jewish concept tells us that the Jewish Messiah will acquire the Promised Land for them and strengthen the Jewish community. The Muslims also have the same concept of the End Times saviour.
Hugh: I am wondering, in a sense, if you have a concept of a Messiah - even if it is an alien Messiah, Hildegard -
Hildegard: That’s another discussion altogether.
Hugh: I think it’s the same discussion in respect that if we are expecting a Messiah to come and save us from our plight then, in a sense, we are putting our faith in an external factor versus taking responsibility ourselves for the situation we find ourselves in and doing something about it.
YAG: Actually, I got your point but the thing is it is not people who have concocted this concept of Messiah. If we had made up this story that we need somebody from extra-terrestrial; space, we are in that case putting our faith to external sources. But it is the thought which is coming from religions. Nobody has made up the thought, it is coming from religions. People who believe in religions they have this concept. People who are secular, do not believe in any religions, they are not waiting for any Messiah. So, it is a religious concept.
Hildegard: However, you are non-religious? The Messiah Foundation embraces all religions, correct? So, you are not looking for followers, you are non-religious. So, some people say, ‘Well, they are just preaching another Messiah; with all due respect we don’t need that’. We need somebody that helps us how to do our lives better.
YAG: That’s what we are doing.
Hildegard: So, that is in essence the mission. Where does the Messiah fit in? Are you helping me find the Messiah within myself, is the next question?
YAG: Oh my gosh, if somebody is not feeling well and I go there and give them medicine, and I heal them and everything, but they tell me, ‘Don’t talk about the doctor’, alright let’s not talk about the doctor. But, do you know what does a doctor do? That’s exactly what I am doing: giving you medicine, telling you your ailments, giving you medicine and healing you. So, the job of the Messiah is to spread love, unify the entire human race. And this exactly what we need to do.
Okay, let’s forget about the Messiah, let’s do the job if you want to put it that way. Spreading love.
Hildegard: So, correct me if I am wrong, the Messiah is just giving us a whole new boost of love so it is easier for the individual to transcend - we spoke about hate and anger before, I don’t want to go there anymore - but that is what the Messiah does?
YAG: To be honest with you ‘Messiah’ is just a title. It is the Divine Energy which is coming in the guise of the Messiah. You can say the Divine Manifestation. The manifestation or that Super Man behind the clouds. If he doesn’t want to show us His face, he has taken a guise of somebody called Messiah. But we shouldn’t be concerned about the personality, we should be concerned about our own interest. And our interest is to become enlightened and powerful and to have peace in our heart and all the glory of our persona. That’s all.
Hildegard: So, let’s talk about the personal transformation in those who - I understand you have travelled extensively around the world, you go to conferences, do many interviews, you have your online workshops and discussions. What are some of the experience people have shared who had been activated, had their hearts opened to love?
YAG: What I feel every time I visit a country, some of these people have no knowledge about their [respective] field, and some people, the knowledge they have is dangerous. So, lack of knowledge. They are not properly informed. The discerning knowledge which can put their mind right, the knowledge which can fix their heart, that knowledge is lacking in every field. We are helping people to have the knowledge with which they can enlighten themselves and find who they really are. We are not concerned about Messiah, forget about Messiah. If Messiah comes and he doesn’t benefit me, I am not waiting for such a Messiah. If Messiah comes and he doesn’t benefit my soul, if he doesn’t improve the quality of my life, I shouldn’t be waiting for such a Messiah.
If Messiah just comes for his own personal interest, let him come. I am not bothered. I am only bothered about my personal quest which is exploring myself. Making the quality of my life better and if this is done from any angle, from any source, from any religion or any secular school of thought, or from any person then that person is very close to my heart. Even if that person is not Messiah. We are concerned about the philosophy, the ideology of love and peace not the person who may be dispensing the ideology of love and peace.
Hildegard: Well, as it appears we have been living in the ideology where we are separate from one another and focus on our separateness, rather than our togetherness, our unity, we are one organism.
YAG: It’s time now that we travel from being separate to togetherness. It is time now for unification. Because together we are powerful, divided we are estranged.
Hildegard: I would like to use the analogy of a computer network. The computer network out there is not really helpful to me unless my hard drive finds a way to connect to it, right? So, can you give us a specific example of what you are teaching? Your online courses or when you are doing your talks and travels. What are some of the steps our audience could practise? Like we talk about seeing a doctor, you want to have some idea of what he can do: change your diet, drink more water, whatever the doctor may recommend. Do you have any recommendations?
YAG: Well, what I do is multicultural and multidimensional. There are many problems that I am dealing with at a time. For example, when I speak everyday at 10PM UK time, I am live on Facebook, Periscope and YouTube. So, what happens is, people from all over the world they ask me questions on YouTube Live Chat and I answer these questions. Some of the questions are about their life, some of those questions are about the authenticity of the religions and they ask me which religion is better. They ask me about their religion, what they are doing as a religious person if it’s okay. So, I give them my understanding and references from their books and I tell them whether or not they are right or wrong.
So, in a way I am dealing with different sorts of cases. The nature of these cases is different, everybody is coming from a perspective of life and different religions. But I am happy when their questions are answered and I see a ray of hope on their faces, it satisfies me and I tell myself that I am really making a contribution towards forming a better society in this world.
Hildegard: You mentioned dimensions. What is your take on dimensions? For there are those who say they simultaneously exist on many different dimensional world at once. People who have visions or see elves or tree-creatures or different life forms, or aliens. What is your take on what are dimensions? Because we are so, as you mentioned earlier, stuck on the third dimension. This is what it is all about and some people say no, after a near-death experience we know that consciousness moves on, I don’t really die, the body may die but like if I take off my grey sweater, I continue living.
YAG: You are right. There is no such thing as fuller death. This is a journey. We are here for a specific reason and the body that we are contained in, if you call this death when the body perishes, we can call it death but then again this body is not real you. The real you is your spirit and that spirit does not know death. We are constantly travelling and going through evolution: spiritual evolution, geographical evolution and celestial evolution. And like the dimension that you were talking about. We have 7 souls inside our body and the dimension that you will be more focused on depends on what soul are you aligned with concurrently.
If you are aligned with the soul which rests on the right side of our bosom, it will take us to a different realm. Maybe somebody else is aligned with another soul so his or her dimension will be totally different.
After you have explored all your realities and you have aligned with all your souls, and you have been to all the celestial realms, then comes You: a fuller, dimensional person who knows everything. And then, that person will come to the divine dimension, which is the dimension of God.
Hildegard: So, indeed, there is hope. The worst that can happen people lose their body, terrorism or no terrorism, and we can work on the true self by becoming spiritually more conscious and therefore we can have whatever happens outside ripple, like water off a duck’s back.
YAG: But if you lose your body before your time you will be deprived of obtaining this spiritual enlightenment in the lifetime you are given to [obtain it]. If you die before your time then whatever you were supposed to obtain in this world in that frame of time, you won’t obtain it. So, we must not lose our life, we must not just throw our life away to any reason.
Hildegard: And that is unfortunately very much the case today. When you hear of young people committing suicide, en masse almost, we have such tragic stories here and I know they exist in other places as well. What do you attribute that to? And I know you work with young people, please elaborate a little bit.
YAG: They have many, many different issues. Sometimes, our desires, for example, are good. For example, I don’t have a car and I want to buy a car, this is a desire but if I do buy a car it will improve my life. Okay, that’s good. Let him go have a car. Now, if what you desire is not good for you and it is really dangerous for you then you are in pursuit of that desire, somebody who is honest with you should stop you from there. Right? So, we have many different desires and when the desires are not fulfilled they commit suicide. So, there are different reasons for suicide.
Hildegard: Do you think the religions were designed to educate us on a spiritual path and have they done a good job of it? What’s you opinion on it?
YAG: Religion were designed to help people, but only those who were in the Primordial Time and chose to have a pure life and those who wanted the luxuries of the world, religions are not for them. Number 2- There is not one religion, which was designed by God, to suit everybody in the world. All these religions were designed to cater for the needs of one particular group of people.
For example, Islam was created for the spiritual needs of the people who inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. This is why strict religious laws were implemented; if you are [caught] stealing they chop your hands off. But if you do the same in USA or Canada or UK, this is barbaric. But for them, because of their temperament - people have different temperaments everywhere. So, not even one religion is universal, they are regional.
Hugh: But here we are now and we still have those religions and now with the world getting smaller and people are moving all over the world; different cultures living side-by-side with each other, you know, these religions are beginning to rub up against each other -
YAG: That’s why these religions are creating problems now.
Hugh: Yeah, exactly. So, now to get from here though, because many people feel very strongly about their religions. And you know sometimes I think there is nothing harder than a worldview for people to change. People are so invested at the way they look at the world, right? So, for somebody to shatter that for them it’s very unsettling. That’s what I think causes people to get into a terrorist mindset or to become radicalised. So, here we are in this world. We are trying to get into unification. Certainly, we are trying to get to a place where people can live peacefully alongside one another. How do we do that? How do we overcome this religious mindset that some people have?
YAG: These people who practise religion they practise it very strictly, they become shortsighted. They are like the frog of the well; they do not know what is outside the well. You cannot educate them. Every single person who practises a religion becomes intolerant. That person thinks only he or she is right people of other religions are wrong. There is no time for religion. You cannot change them.
Hugh: One of the things that disturbs me is that the terrorist incidents in Europe where people are starting to become less tolerant - this is my concern, I hope I am wrong actually - but I have seen it here in Toronto too where everybody has become a little bit radicalised. People are saying, you know, we can’t have Muslims in the country. There are actually some people saying that. And not willing to engage in a debate because they feel that engaging in a debate would be fruitless. So, my concern is that instead of people becoming more tolerant or more open to working alongside one another as these incidents happen the people of all cultures, of all backgrounds, start to become isolationists in their thinking; less willing to even think about having a conversation.
YAG: I mean, what is happening right now and the tolerance you are talking about where people are beginning to have less tolerance, I think that is pretty much natural. If I live in my house alone with my children and then we have visitors and they stay there for 2-3 months. One day I will feel that my privacy is being invaded and I will start to feel frustrated. Actually, this is what is happening now in Canada.
So many refugees are now coming and you feel that your values and freedom is being put on the stake and your way of life is now being jeopardised, and this integration and a lot of foreigners who are naive to this culture and your religious or secular values are pouring into your country. Perhaps, this is fear which is coming up as intolerance. The government should do something about it. They should only take as many refugees as your nation -
Hugh: I agree, but I don’t know if we can trust the governments to do the right thing. As I said, you know, if we think that the problem is even higher. And sometimes my suspicions, frankly, are that people at the highest levels are really trying to undermine the wellbeing of people, of families, of nations because - I don’t know what the real reason is - they thrive on chaos or misery or whatever it is.
YAG: [Laughs] That’s true. They are not concerned about right or wrong. They are just working on their political agenda. Whatever makes their opposition in politics stronger they will do that. I don’t think they are concerned about right or wrong.
Hugh: So, how do we get to unification from here -
YAG: Total unification is not possible. Unification is only possible among those people who are like minded. Do you understand?
Hildegard: That was going to be my question because you mentioned as we learn spiritually about all of the souls that are inside of us, we have to be willing to look at that. So, who is willing, is it in the makeup of the unique soul the human beings carry? Some of them are already predestined to “wake up”, and other those who are just waking up because they chose not to this lifetime around?
YAG: Not all the souls have this potential of finding love and peace. Not all the souls are equal in nature. Not all the souls are similar in nature. Only the souls which are similar in nature to each other will look for unification. Some people or I should rather say some of the souls are designed to look similar and familiar to each other and some others are totally opposite in nature. Those who are prone to create a chaos and promote hatred they will not understand any other language. They will only understand how to create more hatred and more chaos. So, you cannot talk about unification, love and peace among those people. They are designed to promote hatred.
Hugh: Then what do you do?
YAG: You cannot do anything!
Hugh: Because we are living in the same world as those people, right? Some would argue those are the terrorists, the bad guys, those are the people that maybe the good guys need to go to war with.
YAG: No bad guy will turn into a good guy, no matter what you do.
Hugh: So, what do we do with them?
YAG: We have to take precautions and protections. I am being realistic. I am not telling you stories to make anybody happy. I am telling you something which is very close to reality. Not everybody will love and not everybody will love the idea of promoting love and peace. There are people who are designed to promote hatred and you can never change them.
Hildegard: So, the people who became radicalised, like Steve was saying earlier -
YAG: They were different in nature.
Hildegard: So, their soul is different than somebody who has a desire to live in peace and harmony?
YAG: No soul on earth who has the potential of living with love and peace will or can be radicalised because their nature will not allow it. Only those are at the stake of being radicalised, who, in their nature are already radicalised by God. So, they have been divinely radicalised.
Hildegard: Wow! You are opening a whole new kind of -
YAG: The only person you can blame, and I am sorry to say that, but we are just puppets. The boss is responsible for everything.
Hildegard: However, we are not to - [inaudible] - responsibility then because human beings have known to make transformations. Maybe people haven’t been mass-murderers and haven’t been radicalised yet there are most certainly things that I have done that I am not proud of and then later on I felt better. I think that is human nature, right?
YAG: I think mass-murderers and these terrorists are all the same but they are doing it for a different cause. That’s all I understand.
Hildegard: Your foundation draws those who have a soul that is resonating with unification to begin with or else they wouldn’t even be drawn -
YAG: We are trying to reach everybody but the problem is those who, in nature, are already radicalised, when they ask a question they are already attacking on us; they are swearing at us, to them we are infidels. [They say] ‘What is love? There is no such thing as love in Islam.’ Alright.
Messiah Foundation International loves everybody without prejudice, without reservation of the colour of your skin. We love everybody. We are practically trying to raise awareness of practical love, spirituality, enlightenment. We love everybody and we would love to draw attention of people who do not love to love. We are trying and we know there are only certain people who are prone to love will be drawn to love. Not everybody will be drawn to love. We are striving, [I don’t know] whether or not we are thriving but we are striving.
Hugh: And it’s an ongoing project. So, people can go to the website, of course, and listen to the daily message, daily broadcast. And people can get the information on the website which is www.goharshahi.us. So, thank you everybody for tuning in.
In this discourse, Younus AlGohar clarifies why it is impossible for Ghazwa-e-Hind (The Final Battle of India) to take place in this era and what Ghazwa-e-Hind actually refers to.
Main points:
- The terrorists are using Ghazwa-e-Hind mixed with Hadith (traditions of Prophet Mohammad) to spread mischief. There is no mention of killing Hindus, Sikhs or any non-Muslims in Ghazwa-e-Hind.
- The word ‘Ghazwa’ is the name given to a battle that Prophet Mohammad himself was involved in. Can the terrorists say that Prophet Mohammad is fighting alongside them? Funnily enough, the terrorists who are implementing ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ are from the Wahhabi sect of Islam; they are those who vehemently reject the eminence of Prophet Mohammad.
- When Prophet Mohammad declared that there will be an attack on Hind (India), from that time until now there have been numerous attacks on India. The attacks that happened previously, were they not mentioned in the Hadith? This Hadith was narrated for those attacks. It is not valid for this day and age.
- Ghazwa-e-Hind has already taken place. When Islamic spiritual dignitaries took the responsibility of implementing Jihad bil Nafs (Jihad against the Carnal Self) in India. Prophet Mohammad would appear and, along with the spiritual dignitaries, help with the purification of the Carnal Self of people in India. This is the Ghazwa that needed to take place and it has already happened.

For the launch of our magazine, The True Mehdi, delegates from Messiah Foundation UK organised a visit to the Pakistan High Commission and Embassy in London, England where they distributed over a thousand copies to the public. A majority of passers-by took keen interest in The True Imam Mehdi and were pleased to see the spotlight article, Imam Mehdi is Not a Warrior. Many people noted that they had been given the wrong perception of the Mehdi but said that our message about Imam Mehdi was refreshing. They were happy to learn that Imam Mehdi will promote love and peace. You can read the first issue of The True Mehdi here.
Younus AlGohar responds to a viewer who objected to his statement about Prophet Mohammad being appointed to distribute what God grants.
Main points:
- The full Prophetic Tradition referred to mentions that God grants people understanding of the religion. The other part is that God is the one who grants things and Prophet Mohammad is the one who distributes God’s bounty.
- The viewer tried to insinuate that understanding of the religion is given by God directly. However, God is giving understanding of the religion through Prophet Mohammad. If you can prove that God directly gives someone understanding of the religion, then we will say that we are wrong.
- In the Quran it is said that God grants understanding of the religion to the Qalb (heart). Without Shahr-e-Sadr, without awakening and enlightening your Qalb, how will you get understanding of the religion? For Shahr-e-Sadr you need to adopt Prophet Mohammad’s spirituality.

Younus AlGohar discusses the concept of Shirk projected by Wahhabis and explains what Shirk really means in the eyes of God.
Main points:
- Wahhabis have distorted the concept of Shirk. Their propaganda has deprived people of the way through which they would have been connected to God. They say it is Shirk to ask for help from anyone besides God, including asking help from Prophet Mohammad and the saints. It seems much of their interpretations of the holy text in Islam is deliberately biased, based on a sort of childish grudge against the Prophet Mohammad.
- It is important to know the meaning of the phrase ‘Ghair Allah (Without God)’. This is where Wahhabis have gone wrong. To say, ‘Everything besides God is without God,’ is inaccurate because according to Islam, nothing existed besides God. When someone is connected to God, they become a friend of God. When this happens, the Quran says that God takes them out from Zulmat and gives them Noor.
- Zulmat refers to the path without God. Islamic scholars say that Zulmat means darkness and Noor means light. However, the Quran has Noor; if Noor meant physical light, why doesn’t the Quran emit light whenever it is opened? Noor is a divine substance; it is positive energy. Zulmat refers to Naar (negative energy). There was a time when man’s body was unclean and his souls were ignorant. When he was granted eminence, the Noor went in the body and took out the uncleanliness. When Noor went to the souls it awakened them and connected them with God. You obtain Noor through a spiritual guide.
- God has created this world as the Realm of Reason. There is a system and God uses mediums. For example, it is indeed God who gives us children, but in order to do have children, healthy sperm has to fertilise the egg and the woman carrying the baby must also be healthy. Similarly, a Prophetic Tradition states that it is God who grants, but Prophet Mohammad is the one who distributes what God grants. Therefore it is not Shirk to ask help from Prophet Mohammad.
- True Shirk, which God would never forgive, is not what Wahhabis project. God cannot forgive those who take their own Nafs as their Lord, even though they continue to practise the rituals of the religion. The Mushrikeen mentioned by God to be Najis (unclean) were those could never be free from slavery to their Nafs. People who commit Shirk that God does not forgive are those who perform Namaz without knowing its reality; they recite it but they are doomed because they do so without presence of the heart and they are simply showing off.

Younus AlGohar responds to radical anti-Muslims on Twitter and explains the truth about Islam and how it has been distorted today.
Main points:
- Every religion has a time limit on it, an expiry date. When a certain religion expires, what is happening today under the banner of Islam is exactly what happens. Some people just want to denounce Islam and some other people keep on saying terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Both are wrong: Islam when it was founded by Prophet Mohammad was not the same Islam as we see today.
- If a religion is not making you holy, that religion is not holy anymore. Today the problems we have in the world are because of these religions after they expired. When religions were founded and the spiritual systems were intact, they were helping people out and responsible for reviving human values in human beings. However, now these religions are bringing the worst out of everybody.
- There was a time when Judaism was the truth. Then there was a time when Christianity was the truth. There was a time when Islam was the truth. When truth separated itself from the religions, these religions became monstrous. We defend the original Islam which did not mean any harm to anybody. We condemn the Islam practised by Wahhabis and ISIS.
- To collect the Quran in the form of a book was never in God’s or Prophet Mohammad’s plan. Therefore many verses in the Quran we have today have already been abrogated by God. The original Quran was revealed onto the heart of Prophet Mohammad; therefore only Prophet Mohammad, the recipient of the Quran, would be notified of any changes. It would not be made public knowledge necessarily. There are two Quran: the Esoteric Quran and the Exoteric Quran. Esoteric Quran has everything to do with God and Prophet Mohammad. This Exoteric Quran has nothing to do with either Prophet Mohammad or God.
- The apocalyptic forecast of Prophet Mohammad regarding the end times has been heavily modified by Wahhabis. The concept of Imam Mehdi has been modified and they have begotten a new theory of hatred. They have given an unreal, false story of the worldwide caliph who will supposedly rule the entire world and turn everybody into Muslims.

Younus AlGohar raises important questions about the type of Islam that Zakir Naik projects in light of his blasphemous statements about Prophet Mohammad.
'If somebody is doing bad and you do not raise your voice against it, as a result of your silence, that man who is spreading bad things will feel encouraged. Prophet Mohammad said, "The greatest of all Jihad is to raise your voice against the tyrant king."
'If somebody tells you, "I'm a Christian but I don’t believe in Jesus," will you not ask him, "How on Earth are your Christian? If you don’t believe in Jesus, then what is it that makes you a Christian?" If you say, "I am a Muslim but it is prohibited for me to believe in Prophet Mohammad," not even my intellect allows it to accept it and keep quiet.'

Who knows how many of the ISIS recruits may be there among those Syrian refugees?
It is not easy to recognise a radicalised individual from among those Syrians who fled their country in an effort to save themselves from the atrocities of evil ISIS.
The Germans should examine all refugees and sort out all those who share the same ideology as those of ISIS. Trust me, it will help.
Younus AlGohar discusses how people can be deradicalised, whether or not Islam needs reforms and the extinction of Islam according to Prophet Mohammad.
Main points:
- Truth be told, it impossible to deradicalise anybody. What we can do is to stop the youth from falling prey to radicalisation. After they are radicalised, they become too rigid in their beliefs to listen to anyone.
- By the time you are radicalised, reverting becomes a matter of Ego. As a radical, you will have done horrendous things which a sane person would not do; if you were to revert, you would no longer be able to justify your actions under the banner of religion.
- The best policy on radicalisation is to make sure that citizens of the country are well protected and they are provided with counter academic reasoning. Radicalisation is principally based on wrong interpretation of the Quran. In most cases, joining terrorist organisations has more to do with fulfilling individual desires than serving God.
- If somebody says that Islam needs reforms after the 1400 years since it was established, it means they do not know Islam. Islam already had a system of reformation in which reformers would come to renew the religion and fix whatever had been modified in it by people. A reformer would be sent every 100 years and a Grand Reformer would be sent every 1000 years. However, today Islam is beyond reformation and repair. It is the spiritual knowledge that would repair the religion and man; however today the spiritual system is no more in Islam.
- Prophet Mohammad predicted the demise of Islam. He said, 'Only the name Islam will remain; the rest will depart. Nothing will be left in the Quran for except it's customary recitation.'
- Today, Wahhabis have hijacked the religion. They have spread wrong interpretations of the Prophetic Traditions and verses of the Quran. For example, they have misused Prophetic Tradition that states, 'Do not establish graves,' as an excuse to destroy Sufi shrines and conspire to destroy Prophet Mohammad's own grave. They have also twisted the words of another Prophetic Tradition to declare Yazid bin Muawiya (the murderer of Prophet Mohammad's family) as paradise-bound.

At Messiah Foundation International, we have a profound understanding of the factors that draw vulnerable youth towards radicalisation.
We strongly believe that radicalisation is principally based on wrong interpretation of the text of the Quran. People are being told fascinating, lustful stories to lure them towards Islamist organisations. In order to help prevent radicalisation, we are offering free classes for the public, in which attendees will be presented with academic reasoning to counter what radical Islamists teach.
Classes begin every day at 8:00 PM in our London office. To reserve your seat, please call us on WhatsApp: +447456280590

In response to persecution of and comments against the Ahmadi sect in Pakistan, Younus AlGohar discusses the rise of sectarianism in Pakistan.
This video is in Urdu.
Main points:
⁃In 1973, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto amended Pakistan’s constitution to declare that Ahmadis were non-Muslims. The problem in Pakistan is that no one understands the religion of Islam and the scholars sitting in mosques promote sectarianism. In regards to calling Ahmadis blasphemers: to accuse someone of blasphemy is a sensitive issue. If we are to look into blasphemy, Wahhabis and Deobandis in Pakistan are hugely blasphemous towards Prophet Mohammad and Islam.
⁃In Islam, purification of the Nafs (Self) is required to make the way leading towards God clear. To help Momineen (true believers) in this, God has made certain practices obligatory upon them. For example, fasting and offering Salat (a form of prayer) help to purify the Nafs.
⁃Momineen are those whose hearts are awakened and engaged in remembrance of God. For them, when they fast, their Nafs gets weak; instead of getting Naar (negative energy) from food as it normally would, it gets Noor (divine energy) from all the worship carried out by the individual. Similarly, Salat is suitable for Momineen only.
⁃The Quran says that Salat stops one from carrying out bad deeds. There are so many worshippers who regularly visit the mosques in Pakistan; despite this, people are corrupt in every aspect of life and in every sector. From the man who sells fake milk to the politicians looting the country, everyone is corrupt. How could this be when Salat was supposed to stop worshippers from committing bad deeds? The answer is that the Salat performed by people today is adulterated.
⁃According to the Prophet Mohammad, he doesn’t accept the Salat which is performed without presence of the heart. Salat is meant to be the point of culmination for Momineen. However, people in Pakistan are not Momineen because their hearts are not engaged in remembrance of God. Without presence of the heart, your Salat will not reach God. Salat will stop Momineen from committing bad deeds because when a Momin offers Salat, Noor enters his bloodstream from his heart and will go towards the Nafs. The more purified the Nafs gets, the less you want to commit sins.
⁃Prophet Mohammad said, ‘Don’t call a Kafir (infidel) a Kafir.’ It is important to note that the Quran advises Muslims not to follow those whose hearts are heedless of God’s remembrance. It further said that the criteria to recognise if somebody is openly misguided is if his heart is too hard to accept the name of God. It is not necessarily true that all those who come to mosques come with the right intentions. Fatwas are issued against innocent people and sectarianism is promoted in the mosques today; so how can guidance be obtained from such places? Muslims and Muslim scholars today do not know how to become Momin; for that, you need a Perfect Spiritual Guide who can revive your heart with God’s name.
