The savior

The good tiding has come along with every single Divine religion; all Messengers of God have heralded it; followers of all Faiths, men and women of all races-throughout the history had and have all their hopes pinned on the savior and his emergence. The name by which he is referred to? That is of trivial importance, be it Sooshiance, the Mesiah, Son of man, or Mahdi. Most important is the fact that all faiths have given news of his coming the ultimate and genuine savior.

Oppression and injustice phenomena that have their roots deep in the history of man kind are in fact hurdles that impede the pace of man in his evolutionary trend. They are abnormalities doomed to be rectified. They might last long, but are not everlasting.

The idea of emergence of the ultimate savior of the world and mankind is as old as the history of religions and religious beliefs. Yet, the development of the last century, and what the world is going through, have brought it to the center stage. Human knowledge and science has hit a record high and is on (daily) increase. Deliberations on cooperation, peaceful coexistence, global integration, and international order are abundant. Yet these fascinating make-ups have not been able to cover up the griefs, atonements, and sufferings of a major population of world at the hands of the so-called great powers. Oppressed nations and communities who have had their natural and God-endowed rights denied and tampered with by tyrants or usurpers who are further encouraged by the silence, apathy, and inaction of world bodies “Security councils”, and self-proclaimed promoters of freedom and human rights have one by one forfeited their hopes of salvation at the hands of boastful governments and organizations. Instead, they have deepened their belief in Divine Faiths and are longing for the long awaited one; the one that shall bless the world with justice and prosperity for all.
