Introduction
• All religions are prepared for the 3rd Coming of Adam
• Islam talks about The Imam and Mahdi
Prof. Young Oon Kim

• For Jews the Messiah is the long-awaited man "anointed of God" to
provide the chosen people and the world at large with a just, durable
and peaceful social order in accordance with the Torah and God's
ultimate purpose for mankind.

• For Jews the Messiah is the long-awaited man "anointed of God" to
provide the chosen people and the world at large with a just, durable
and peaceful social order in accordance with the Torah and God's
ultimate purpose for mankind.
• For Christians Jesus was the Messiah (Greek: "Christ") who came to
fulfill that hope, teach men the religion of love, serve as an example of
what God expects of His children, cleanse them of original sin, joint
them toward the kingdom to come wherein God's will would be done on
earth as it is in heaven.

• Since the first advent did fully accomplish this, traditional Christianity
looks forward to the return of the Messiah to complete the restoration of
the world.

• Like many Christians, not all Muslims expect an end of the world in the
immediate future. However, Sunnite doctrine teaches that at some
future time, a Mahdi will come to establish the kingdom of God on earth.
Shi'ites believe that this Mahdi to come will be the hidden Imam they
have long awaited.

• For Muslims the Imam-Mahdi is a figure with a function
comparable to that of the Christian Messiah.
Thus, like Judaism and Christianity, Islam can be called
a messianic faith.

Both Sunni Muslims and Shia are awaiting a person
whose is referred to as Al-Mahdi (Mehdi)
Shia call him Imam Mahdi because they are expecting
him to be their 12th
Imam.

2. Nubuwwah, the Prophethood,
3. Qiyamah, the Imamate, Justice, and Judgment Day.
The Shi'ite do not believe in complete predestination,
or complete free will.

and predestination.

Shi`ite Muslims hold that there are five articles of belief:
4. Adalah (Justice): The Justice of Allah.

I testify that there is none worthy of worship except
Allah and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah."

"Surely, those who believe (Muslims) and those who
are Jews and the Christians and the Sabians (old arabic people),
whoever believes in God and the last day and does good,
they have their reward with their Lord and there is
no fear for them nor shall they grieve." (2:62)

FAQ:
UNIFICATIONISM AND ISLAM:
MUTUAL RESPECT AND
JOINT EFFORTS TO BENEFIT THE WORLD

Overview of Unificationism and Islam:
Unification teaching recognizes the Prophet
Mohammed and the religion of Islam that is
based on the truths revealed through him as
pivotal in God’s providence of restoration.
That is, Unificationism believes that, as with
other major faiths of the world, Islam plays
a particular role in guiding the human family
into a relationship of unity with God and
harmony among races, nations and peoples.

Because Islam is the newest major faith on
earth, older religions say nothing about it
and offer no guidance to their followers
regarding how they should view Muslims
and Islam.
This is one of the root causes of the great
misunderstanding between Islam and other
faiths, especially Christianity, and the conflicts
that characterize many of the relations Islam
has with other religions.

Unificationism, however, looks at the full
landscape of God’s work to uplift and save
people everywhere, over the centuries of human
history, from the perspective of the world today.
This means that Unificationists are taught the
value of Islam and Muslims, and seek to
actively work with them to achieve
inter-religious harmony, world peace
and a better life for all.

A good number of Muslims are active in
Unification projects, and a good number of
Unificationists are active in supporting
Muslim projects.
And Unification organizations and individuals
have initiated and participated in a wide range
of inter-faith initiatives with Muslim scholars
and leaders.

The Jewish-Palestine conflict in light of DP:
As discussed in the Principle, Ishmael, the elder of
Abraham's two sons, could not receive God's blessing
when Abrahams position a father of faith was passed
to Isaac, the second son.
Abraham made a mistake in the sacrifice of birds and
animals but through his determination to restore that
mistake he offered his son (Isaac) as sacrifice.

In the original dispensation, Abraham was to lay a
foundation of faith after which Ishmael and Isaac would
lay a foundation of substance.
God's blessing would then have been given to
Isaac and Ishmael.
Because Ishmael was not responsible for losing his
Providential position in Abraham's family, and the
blessing that came with it, God's promise to bless
him became a commitment to be fulfilled in time.

Ishmael, like Jakob, became the father of the twelve
sons who became the patriarchs of 12 tribes.
These 12 tribes, cousins to the 12 tribes of Israel,
were progenitors (ancestors) of the Arabs.
The Ishmaelites inherited the burden of a blessing denied,
which created a historical base for resentment towards
the Israelites.

The Prophet Mohammed
God has raised up many prophets, whom He has inspired
with truth and wisdom, and the courage to share their
understanding with others.
This is an evolving process: as human beings grow in
understanding, God is able to reveal more and more of
His will and truth to them.
Thus, Mohammed was sent by God as a prophet to shed
light on areas of human ignorance and to build on the
contributions of earlier religions in moving humanity
towards a world of love, justice and goodness.

The Koran
The Prophet Mohammed received revelations from
the angel Gabriel which were assembled into thesuras,
or chapters, of the Koran (or Qur’an).

Other schools of sharia, including those of the minority

live in the darkness of ignorance about God, they
need laws to guide them towards maturity and

The Fall of Man and Original Sin
The Koran describes the disobedience of the first man

Unificationism understands this disobedience to mean
specifically that Adam and Eve failed to obey God’s

as a man and woman separately, before being joined
together by God as a married couple blessed with the
fullest endowment of God’s love.

conflicts of the world today.

Essentials Of The Unification Principle
by Thomas Cromwell

As discussed in Chapter 12, Ishmael,
the elder of Abraham's two sons, could not receive
God's blessing when Abraham's position as father
of faith was passed to Isaac, the second son.
Abraham had made a mistake in the sacrifice of birds
and animals,
but in his determination to restore that mistake he offered
his son as a sacrifice.

and Ishmael.

Because Ishmael was not responsible for losing his

blessing that came with it, God's promise to bless him
became a commitment to be fulfilled in time.
Ishmael, like Jacob, became the father of twelve sons,
who became the patriarchs of twelve tribes.
These twelve tribes, cousins to the twelve tribes of Israel,
were progenitors of the Arabs.
Mohammed
and Islam

The Ishmaelites inherited the burden of a blessing denied,
which created a historical base for resentment towards
the Israelites.
Mohammed
and Islam

The most important people to be embraced by
Christianity in the crucial fifth and sixth centuries
were the descendants of Abraham's sons,
Ishmael and Isaac,
because they had been chosen to lead the restoration.
The shortcomings in Christianity meant that it could not
work with either the Jews or the Arabs to build a foundation
for true parents.
Mohammed
and Islam

Because of the problems associated with failed
responsibilities in their own history with God, the Jews
entered a long, dark era of suffering.
Meanwhile, God sent a prophet to uplift the descendants
of Ishmael, whose blessing had not been realized
since God had first promised it to their ancestor Abraham.
Mohammed
and Islam

The Mission of Mohammed
God chose to bless the Ishmaelites directly and set up a
providence to complement and counterbalance
Christianity by sending the prophet Mohammed to the Arabs.
Historically, Islam is the only major prophetic religion to
appear since Jesus gave birth to Christianity.
This makes Mohammed the last of the Abrahamic prophets.
Mohammed
and Islam

Mohammed's mission was to purify the lineage of Ishmael,
to separate it from idolatry and to provide it with a clear
understanding of God's truth so that it could fulfill a
providential role in preparing for true parents.
In this way, Mohammed would lay a foundation for
true parents with Ishmael's descendants, bringing them
directly into the orbit of the central providence of restoration.
Mohammed
and Islam

The Mission of Islam
Since God is one and His will is one, the mission for all
religions is also one, to lead fallen humanity back to God.
Since fallen nature can only be removed completely
through true parents, all religions work to prepare
humanity to receive true parents.
Judeo-Christianity and Islam should cooperate like two
brothers (Isaac/Ishmael) working together to prepare the
way for true parents.
Mohammed
and Islam

Mohammed and the Koran
Mohammed was born in 570 and spent the first forty
years of his life preparing for his prophetic mission.
Surrounded by the idolatrous people of Mecca,
in western Arabia, he sought the truth of God,
which was revealed to him by the angel Gabriel.
Mohammed
and Islam

The revelations he received were presented to him
as the culmination of the prophetic tradition reaching
all the way back to Adam.
They accepted the revelations of previous prophets
and then added a body of instruction covering major
theological issues and spelling out clear guidelines
for a life of faith.
These revelations were given to Mohammed over a
21-year course, beginning in 610.
Mohammed
and Islam

Islam and Christianity
Jesus' course resulted in a spiritual victory and
therefore the expansion of Christianity was on a
spiritual level;
the victory of Mohammed was spiritual and physical
and therefore the expansion of Islam took place on
the spiritual and physical levels.
Mohammed
and Islam

Islam and Christianity
Differences between the two in the spiritual dimension
reflected the two men's different missions,
Jesus having been sent as the messiah and true parent,
Mohammed as a prophet to prepare for the coming of
true parents.
Since Christianity and Islam had parallel missions in
preparing a foundation for true parents, there should
have been a cooperative relationship between them in history.

Mohammed was a successful prophet and

Mohammed
and Islam

Lessons from Mohammed's Life Course
Conclusion
However, Islam was blessed by God not merely to
fulfill His promise to bless Ishmael, but, more importantly,
as part of His overall dispensation of restoration.
Therefore Islam's mission can only be completed in
conjunction with God's work in other religions, especially
Judaism and Christianity.

about the return of Isa bn Maryam [the Christ]. I tried to meet the leaders
of Mecca, but they always doubted, feeling that they were being deceived
by Satan. It even became a matter of mockery among them.
• I know that many leaders will not believe you, but will you also disbelieve
me like them?
• Tell them to stop shedding God's servants' blood for nothing but tribal
purposes. Ask them whether they know the grief they are causing God.
Tell them it is now time for the real Messiah on earth, so they must
follow him. Tell them to follow Moon for their as well as our benefit.

Spiritual Messages from the Prophet Mohammed 2001
• Allah, God is the Parent of humanity.
If examined carefully, the original source of all doctrine or truth is one.
What religion would teach people to revere evil. Although their methods
might differ, their fundamental purpose is to pursue goodness.
Because God is the original being of absolute goodness and love, and
every religion teaches about love.

religions together and unite them as one. When it is done, God can
finally rest.

The book is faithful to the Principle.
United Visions is firstly a Principle text.
It covers all the chapters of the Divine
Principle,
About 15 percent of the book is directly
from the text of the Divine Principle.
United Visions is entirely based on the
Qur'an. the Bible only rarely.
Thus, it respects the revelation of the
Qur'an as the foundational truth upon
which the Principle can be taught.

There are hundreds of billions of spirits in the spirit world.
Billions of spirits are on the attack to take hold over the
physical world.
Neurosis is one resultant phenomenon of this reality.
After the year 2000, people will be able to communicate
with each other spiritually.
Whether they communicate with evil or good spirits,
they may fight even if they are ordered not to make war.
Arab Spring – Arab turmoil, possible explanation

This time could come, but the mission of the Unification
Principle is to prevent this.
A tall tower produces radio interference.
The phenomena of neurosis are like that.
The most fearful thing would be if only evil spirits mobilized
and attacked the physical world.
What would happen if that were case?
Regardless of the number of people on earth,
they would all be attacked by evil spirits.
