About the Author

The author who writes under the pen name, Yacub Nsangou, was born in Cameroon in 1972, having completed his primary and secondary education in Foumban. He has studied Art and Political Science at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. Yacub is well known as someone who claims to have met Jesus, Mary, Ibrahim, and other prophets. He is a role model for children. The origin of the name in Jacob is in memory of the esteemed prophet who fought back for faith. The prophet’s seal on the cover of the book has a symbolic meaning linked to the contents. The seal represents peace. Under the guidance of angel, Yacub’s main goal is to share with the readers. The seal of the prophet, who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfections, is used as a sign of his intentions. All works center around one goal to convey the message of Yacub’s mission to the people, thus encouraging them to think about basic faith, related issues such as the existence of God, his unity and the hereafter and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of the godless system.

Introduction

God, the Lord of the worlds, the one with infinite knowledge and power, has sent his messenger as a source of mercy to all mankind. He has bestowed his benevolence on people by sending the messenger. Those who respond to this gift from God with sincerity and gratitude will reap the benefits; they will be able to understand the messenger, follow it, believe in it, and so receive his mercy. They will be well rewarded in this world and in the hereafter. Conversely, those who approach the messenger with insincerity and animosity will suffer the consequences of their actions. They never comprehend the messenger nor benefit from his wisdom and will suffer losses both in this world and in the hereafter. And try as they may, they can do no harm to the messenger or to his belief system.

The messenger has been sent to humankind as an example than can be easily understood by everyone. God says in one of his verses that mankind and man has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and mercy for the believers. One day, the angel came to Yacub and recited:

Those who believe in God and obey their conscience can benefit from the book of knowledge, easily understand, and follow its commands. However, those people who hear themselves do not fully accept the power of God and have doubts about the hereafter.

They will use their trusted knowledge to misinterpret the messenger’s mission. God informs us of the nature of such people who do not seek guidance from the book of knowledge. God has said that we have made things clear in the Quran so that they may pay heed, but it only makes them run away more. What they have said so far makes it clear that they only those who are sincere in their faith will understand the messenger of God very well. The prophet was sent as a clear example from God to serve as a servant who believes and who provided guidance. The signs were also revealed.

As faith increases, so does wisdom, sincerity, and fear of God. As a result, the finer points and mysteries of the mission of the Prophet Yacub can be easily understood. When a person who is not a believer begins to believe in the mission of the prophet, sincerely and without ulterior motives, he readily recognizes that he is a holy prophet and thus becomes a believer. As God’s signs are clear, they can be acted upon immediately. After an individual becomes a believer, the depths of his knowledge will be the factors that will grant him access to the intricacies and mysteries of the messengers. On the other hand, those without faith or fear of God cannot comprehend the messenger correctly. In fact, they misinterpret them the most obvious matters which they claim to know. Explicit expressions appear contradictory to them. No matter how clever, knowledge cultured, or well informed about the messenger these people may be, they are incapable of comprehending its contents due to their lack of faith in God.

When one studies the allegations made by people who oppose the messenger, the misunderstandings, and gaps of logic, they are based on obvious self-seeking people. God says confused are those who deny it and display it on the face. What does God mean by this example? Indeed just as the Quran has informed us in every era deniers have admitted directly or otherwise. How they have not been able to understand this example? This is a miracle of the messenger. This shows us that understanding the Quran depends on the sincerity of one’s intentions and that it is God who decides whether or not a person should receive this understanding. This is clarified in a verse in these words:

Who could do greater wrong than someone who is reminded of the signs of his Lord and then turns away from them, forgetting all that he has done before. We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Though you call them to guidance, they will nonetheless never be guided.

A sincere conscientious believer can understand and apply the basic spiritual subjects and commandments. However, a nonbeliever, who is insincere and prejudiced even if he has a knowledge of several languages along with immense technical knowledge and is considered an expert in his field, will be unable to comprehend the message correctly since he follows his baser self. That is why he lacks the ability to reason. Since he cannot reason, he will be unable to do anymore than make mindless assumptions in understanding the messenger.

This book discusses the reasons why people should live in peace, also know how much people misinterpret and object different religions. Furthermore, the mindlessness, prejudice, and deficient logic of some people who are accepted by the public as reputable. I firmly believe that awareness and acquaintance of human societies with true culture and real education hold the promise of increasing the flowering of prosperity and happiness of humanity a hundredfold.

As a leader, it is a responsibility for propagating the right, peaceful, and constructive methods of instruction for present and future generations. How magnificent is the instruction that is united, reflective, and constructive! Society will propagate the true teachings with the inspiration of love and power of devotion and with freedom from prejudice.

In the Name of the Almighty, those who strive to believe in God’s realm, he will guide you to the straight path.

Divine Scriptures and Peace

In the history of humanity, there is another way of actions and beliefs. One is not bound to customs, traditions, race, culture, personal or social ideologies, and philosophies, rather one is capable of changing the course of human destiny. Many have been diverted from the true path and remain estranged from true teachings of the holy prophets.

The history of the Jewish people, especially their liberation from the rule of the pharaoh, under the guidance of the holy prophet, Moses (peace be upon him), is important to consider. On the basis of the commandments of the Almighty God and his holy mission, the homeless Jewish people, who were enslaved for generations and had forgotten the need for freedom, were encouraged by the awakening voice of the Prophet Moses. They gave up their meager livelihood in Egypt and set out for the promised land.

Only a handful of the liberated really paid attention to and practiced the teachings of the holy prophets Moses and Ibrahim. Most of those who followed to the green valley of Jordan to Israel did so for new economic opportunities and benefit. In reality, it was neither the words of the prophet nor his presence that mobilized the people. But existing pressures and oppressions would have propelled them to listen and follow anyone with an ideology that promised more tranquility and security. This example shows how outdated ideas with the passage of time turns into superstitions and superficial rituals and became barriers to the truth. For the same reasons, the true promised land, which in the message of the prophet, was the place for true peace and tranquility as symbolized in the word Shalom (in Arabic its equivalent is salaam). It was taken to mean settling in the Jordan valley or within the walls of Jerusalem. History shows that many wars that have been fought on this land do not embody the interpretations of the word peace.

Would not mere obedience to the outward meaning of this commandment have prevented transgressions upon the internationally recognized territorial rights of other nations? The answer is in the affirmative. The reasons were based upon existing political policies which were rotted in protecting economic benefits.

Has the current economic world been so just in its distributions of wealth as to create national and shared territorial boundaries between nations, thereby reducing the needs for transgressions? For the world to be redeemed from its current state of inflations and other economic difficulties and artificially created economic strife and famine for other nations, this commandment of the holy Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) of love thy neighbor must be followed. In the Old Testament, Isaiah is stated as being dependent upon tranquility and security, which result from righteousness. But what is righteousness? If it is fruition in human societies, it should be seen in the prevalence of peace and tranquility, the way has not existed so far.

As a brief assessment of the situation, I have to say that the teachings of the prophets and the commandments of God are used as no more than empty statements in human societies. Moreover, a true understanding and practice of these sacred words is not seen in the depth of man’s spiritual and moral realization. Had they been realized, their beneficial results would have been apparent immediately. If it should be asked how, I say as the root of truth and justice of knowledge in the structure of any three results in suitable healthy fruit in its appropriate season. So the roots of truth, justice, and knowledge would result in a suitable and fruitful peace. Some have advanced the idea that the divine religions are outdated and need to be replaced
