At times of great peril, we turn to a supreme being, God for help. Our concept of God may be different, but most religions believe there is one Supreme Being. My religion Islam teaches that God is one and has no partner. Belief in the Unity of God is essential to Islamic credence. The Holy Quran teaches that God sent Prophets to different nations with a central message: The unity of God. (16:37) Over time, It is the people who stray from these teachings and create false idols and start worshiping them instead of the One Supreme God. God is not white nor is he black. God is not male or female.
Further elaborating on this, the founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Messiah has said, “The God of Muslims is not stone, star or a dead person, on the contrary, it is the All-Powerful God Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; Who is Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining.”
This absolute Unity of God also leads one towards unity among human beings. As Muslims, when we stand in congregational prayers five times a day at every Mosque, we are all standing in unity regardless of one’s color or financial standings. The fourth Caliph to Messiah Ahmad, His Holiness Mirza Tahir Ahmad says in his book ‘An Elementary Study of Islam’, “This gives birth to the universal concept of equality in Islam, which is its distinctive feature. Hence from the vantage point of God, all human beings, wherever and in whichever age they were born, stand equal in His sight.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.
The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice, and peace. Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.
