FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK (Part 10)
                                Salvation

But any that in this life
Had repented, believed and worked righteousness,
will have hopes to be among those who achieve salvation.
                                                    (Qasas 28: 67)

Nay, - whoever submits his whole self to God
and a doer of good,
He will get his reward with his Lord,
on such shall be no fear,
nor shall they grieve.
                                                    (Baqarah 2: 112)

To the righteous soul will be said:
"O thou soul, in complete rest and satisfaction!
Come back thou to thy Lord,
well please thyself, and well pleasing unto Him!
Enter thou, then, among My devotees!
Yea, enter thou My Heaven!
                                                    (Fajr 89: 27-30)

.....those who believe and do righteousness,
we shall soon admit them to Gardens,
with rivers flowing beneath,
to dwell therein forever
God's promise is the truth
and whose word can be truer
than God's?
                                                    (Nisaa 4: 122)

    And whose words can be TRUER than God's?  The promise of ETERNAL SALVATION
is from God Almighty for none can promise eternal life except God alone.
God's love for is overflowing.  His Love for us is more than the love of a
mother for her child.  He gives us life and the way to salvation.  God says,
"O My servants who oppressed your own souls by sinning, DESPAIR NOT FOR THE
MERCY OF GOD", no matter how hopeless our spiritual condition is - DO NOT
DESPAIR.  Reach out to God!  Believe in the ONE and ONLY GOD and uphold the
moral life as revealed in His Revelations to all mankind - SURELY GOD WILL
GRANT YOU SALVATION.

***KNOW that Islam is a universal religion as a way of life.  It governs every
aspect of human life, from individual's behaviour to living in community, from
social and economic principles to political system, from government justice to
international relation, and above all, from relation between human being to
human being up to relation between human being and his creator, the One and
Only One God.

***KNOW that the term traditionalist, conservative, extrimist, fundamentalist,
radicals or similar labels DO NOT originate from Islam.  In Islam it is either
to be a Believer or a Non-Believer, either to be a True Believer or a Hypocrite,
either to practise Islam as a whole or leave it all.
