I agree with both Jennifer and Wael, but what is alarming Karbala is that u dont see her beliefs to be in contradiciton with Islam. In addition to what Wael introduced to u, how about this point:
<b> because God dwells in all humans.
</b>
This is when the disaster of incarnation actually begins. This is, to the best of my knowledge brothers and sisters pls correct me if I m wrong, foundation of Hindu beliefs in particular, as far as I recall, a guru claims this, correct Wael.
Allah Does not dwell in any human Karbala.
<b> تعالى الله عما يصفون </b>
You are correct sister, but it was not one <b>ONE SINGLE </b> guru who claims this. In fact, India is often called the land of <b>‘god-men’</b>. This is due to the plenty of the so called spiritual masters or Gurus in India. My ex boss (<i>who is also Indian</i>) believes that God dwells in every human being. One of these masters, his followers even claimed that he is God himself, his name was <b>Bhagwan Rajneesh </b>
According to this Rajneesh biography, we read the following:
In May 1981 he went to U.S.A. and established a town called ‘Rajneeshpuram’. He later fell foul of the West and was finally arrested and asked to leave the country. He came back to India and started a commune in Pune which is now known as the ‘Osho’ commune. He died in 1990. The followers of Osho Rajneesh believe that he is Almighty God. At the ‘Osho commune’ in Pune one can find the following epitaph on his tombstone:
<b>"Osho – never born, never died; only visited the planet Earth between 11th December 1931 to 19th January 1990."</b>
Astaghfurullah.
Let me remind everyone, that monotheism is an integral part of <b>every major religion of the world </b> and if you examine carefully their scriptures, you will clearly see that all scriptures exhort mankind to believe in, and submit to One God. All these scriptures condemn the association of partners to God, or the worship of God in the form of images etc.. but sadly, the followers of these religions violated the teachings of their own scriptures and have set up partners to Almighty God.
Alhamdulelah, Islam has come to free us from such ignorance, Alhamdulelah who made us Muslims.
Say: "O people of the Book!
come To common terms as between us and you:
<b>that we worship none but Allah</b>;
<b>that we associate no partners with Him</b>;
<b>that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah</b>."
if then they turn back,
say ye: "<b>Bear witness that we (at least) Are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will)</b>." [Qur’an 3:64]
Salam
Wael.
