is why a denier of Tauhid, even if he is a paragon of virtue, cannot<br />
attain salvation. Hence, these people should first ask themselves:<br />
which of these Books has done the most to promote the<br />
concept of God’s Oneness, upon which salvation depends. Can<br />
the Vedas boast one country in which they have introduced the<br />
Oneness of God? Can they point to one tract of land on the<br />
face of the earth where the Rig, the Yajur, the Sham and the<br />
Atharvan have established the concept of Tauhid [Oneness] of<br />
God? The only impact of the Vedas we see in India is in the<br />
form of fire-worship, sun-worship, worship of Vishnu and<br />
creature-worship—the mere mention of which is repugnant.<br />
You may survey India from end to end, everywhere you will<br />
find Hindus engrossed in creature-worship. While some worship<br />
Mahadeva, others sing hymns in praise of Krishna and yet<br />
others worship idols and images.<br />
The case of the Gospels is no different. There is no land in<br />
which they became the means for spreading Tauhid. On the contrary,<br />
its followers consider monotheists unworthy of salvation.<br />
Their priests give monotheists tidings of a dark inferno where<br />
there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. According to<br />
them, only those will be saved from it who believe that God suffers<br />
death, suffering, hunger, thirst, pain, and that he entered a mortal<br />
body and became flesh; otherwise, there is no hope of salvation.<br />
In other words, they believe that the paradise of their imagination<br />
will be divided among the two great nations of Europe—the<br />
British and the Russians—while all monotheists will be cast into<br />
hell for the crime of considering God to be free from every fault<br />
and imperfection.
