State of Mankind Introduction into Qur'anic Universalism.
How God sees us, how we see ourselves
by Arnold Yasin MolA detailed 30 page study of the Qur'anic inclusive message which calls for a cooperation between all people on earth who want to create and maintain peace and welfare. The Qur'an induces people on two levels. Al-Islam is the universal and natural thought and behaviour system (al-Deen 3030, 262, 4133, 364) which represents a pluralistic ethical value system that induces cooperation between different groups among mankind. While al-Iman are the people who accept the truthful origins of all religions and the Qur'an, are responsible for maintaining peace (amina) and encourage dialogue and justice among all the groups. As expressed in this essay
"The potential of the Quran as a universal guide towards peace and progress can thus manifest itself more clearly. It unites mankind in purpose and direction, while respecting their differences."

We will show them Our signs/messages (ayatinaa) in the horizons (alafaaqi), and within themselves/beings/lives (anfasikum), until it becomes clear (yatabayyana) to them that this is the truth/the right thing (alHaqqu). Is it not enough that your Developer is witness over all things?

And they claim, "None will enter Paradise unless he is a Jew or a Christian." This is nothing but their wishful thinking. Say, "Bring your proof if you are truthful." No, whosoever inclines to peace with his whole being for God (aslama wajhahu lillahi), while being a person who improves the state of mankind (muhsinun); he will have his reward with his Developer. There will be no fear over them, nor will they grieve.

Who is better in saying than one who invites to God, and perform deeds that create justice and peace (3milu saliha), and says "I am one of those who gives over to peace (al-Muslimin)."
