Islam beyond the differences..
The majority of our people are Buddhists, but they are Buddhists in name only. They are not practising Buddhists and actually they are almost unmindful of their religious knowledge. The main reason for this apathetic attitude may be due to the fact that Buddhism presents a high sounding and complicated philosophy and give nothing practical. It is thus beyond the reach of an average person who remains busy with the problems of this worldly life. He cannot understand it nor can he implement it.
It is not so with Islam. The teachings of Islam are simple, straight-forward and quite practical. It governs all the departments of human life. It moulds the thinking of man and when once the thinking becomes pure, pure actions will follow spontaneously. The teachings of Islam are so simple, easy and practically that every one can understand it. It is not the monopoly of the priests as in the case in other religions.
There is great future of Islam in Japan. Some difficulties may be there but the same are not insurmountable.
Firstly, an organised steady and vigorous effort should be made to acquaint people with the teachings of Islam. Our people are becoming materialistic day by day but they are unhappy. They have to be told that the real peace and contentment lie in Islam, which is complete code for life and gives guidance for all walks of life.
Secondly such people are required to do this work whose own lives set an example before others.
Unfortunately the type of Muslim students who come to Japan from different Muslim countries are no example for us to follow and we cannot gain any advice or guidance from them. Most of them have adopted the Western way of life and they know nothing about Islam due to their being educated in the European established institutions.
If Islam is to succeed in Japan, as I am quite sure that one day it will, all Islam-loving people should think over the problem and make sincere and concentrated efforts in this behalf. Such of the Muslims who are true believers and whose lives can be an example to others, should visit Japan and teach the people here. Our people are thirsty for peace, truth, honesty, sincerity, virtue and all that is good in life, and I am confident that Islam and Islam alone can quench their thirst.
We need absolute Faith in Him to do the job and we pray to Him to grant Faith to us. Islam means 'peace' and no other people than the Japanese require peace more. Real peace can come to us by accepting the religion of peace. Peace with all mean and peace with God. The brotherhood in Islam is a unique principle and in it truly lies salvation for the mankind"
