The Ghouse Diary: Who created Religion

Who created Religion - Man or God?

Religion can be seen from two perspectives; God and Man. I have interviewed and met many people who were not conditioned with any religion or any versions of God. Both were alien thoughts to them, however, it helps us see Religion from a different point of view.

One view holds that Religion is man’s attempt to understand God and the nature, about life, death, sickness, incomplete things in life, the love or hate for each other and where we fit in the scheme of things.

The other view can be seen as an expression of God’s love for his creation. Creation can be broadly categorized in to matter and life.

Every piece of matter that has evolved or created is designed to have its own balance, whether it is Jupiter or the moon or other objects of nature, they were designed to remain and operate in balance without any interference.

Whereas humans were not put on auto pilot like the matter, instead we were given the freedom and ability to think and find our own balance.

Even though the creator gave (or evolved out of necessity) the free will to humans, the goal remained “harmony” or “balance” among humans and its environment. Just like the mother loves the well being of her children, teacher wants every student to excel, a chef wants every patron to enjoy his or her food, and the creator wants every one of us to live in peace and harmony.

It was this love of God that he chose to restore trust in the society through peace makers, prophets or messengers to give us guidance, in the form of religion, wisdom or tradition so we can live in the “Kingdom of heaven” where no human has to live in apprehension, anxiety, discomfort or the fear.

These thought are derivatives from Bhagvad Gita, Bible and Quraan.

oncerned by the divisiveness, he saw the need to bring Americans together and founded America Together Foundation committed to building a cohesive America, indeed it is in response to ACT America which is bent on pitching one American against the other. We will be holding series of educational programs, conferences and workshops to address the issues that divide us such as Civil Right, GLBT, Quraan, Abortion, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Racial Profiling and Stereotyping.

The Annual Unity Day USA is in its 7th year now, it is a purposeful event to bring Americans together, on this Unity Day, we the people of the United States of America of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture and background will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, unity, prosperity and wellbeing of our nation.

Thanksgiving Celebration is in its 15th year showcasing cultural diversity.

The 5th Annual Reflections on Holocaust and Genocides is to learn and to acknowledge and reflect upon the terrible things we have inflicted upon each other and commit to avert such tragedies. Through this event non-Jewish people have consciously learned about Holocaust for the first time, it was also for the first time that people of 14 faiths came together to join in to commemorate the Holocaust that commemorated within the Jewish Community for years. They are not alone anymore in their anguish, we are all in it together with them, and it is a Muslim initiative to effect a positive change.

The programs, seminars and workshops conducted by the Foundation for Pluralism have become a part of the America Together Foundation. While the Foundation for Pluralism continues championing the idea of co-existence through respecting and accepting the otherness of other, the commitment to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam through the World Muslim Congress continues.
