SACRED
THOUGHTS
1.
First
of all some sayings of Prophet Muhammad translated by Kabir Helminski.
*You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will
not believe until you love one another.
* Give greeting to everyone among you.
* I was delegated as a prophet to perfect moral virtues.
*Good character is half of faith.
*God is merciful to those who show mercy to others.
*Power consists not in being able to strike another but in
being able to control oneself when anger arises.
The three best things are: to be humble amidst vicissitudes
of fortune; to pardon when powerful; and to be generous with no strings
attached.
2.
Love
God , and he will dwell with you. Obey God, and he will reveal to you the truth
of his deepest teachings.
3.
Take
away God and religion, and men live to no purpose, without proposing any worthy
and considerable end of life to themselves.
4.
True
religion and virtue give a cheerful and happy turn to the mind; admit of all
true pleasures, and even procure for us the
highest.
5.
If
you are not right toward God, you can never be so toward man; and this is
forever true.
6.
The
moral virtues, without religion, are but cold, lifeless, and insipid.
7.
Religion
is the tie that connects man with his Creator, and holds him to his throne. If
that tie is sundered or broken, he floats away a worthless atom in the
universe, its proper attractions all gone.
8.
Religion
is the best armour in the world, but the worst cloak.
9.
Spiritual
anarchy is not likely to work either for the happiness of the individual or for
the welfare of the society.
10.
There is only one religion, though there are a
hundred versions of it.
--------
PUNCHLINE: If men are so wicked with religion,
what would they be without it!
