139persecutions under the Roman Emperors. Then comes the great Constantine and proclaims liberty for the Church; but after the decisions and the Trinitarian Creed of the Nicene Council in 325 A.C., the Unitarian Muslims [1] were submitted to a series of new and even more cruel persecutions by the Trinitarians, until the advent of Muhammad (pbuh) .3- The nature and constitution of the Kingdom of GODThere is a royal Islamic anthem sung aloud five times a day from the minarets and the mosques in every partof the globe where the Muslimslive.This anthem isfollowed by a most solemn worship to Allah by his faithful people. This royal Muslim hymn is called Ādhān (Āzān). This is not all; every action, enterprise and business, however important or trifling it may be, is begun with the words bismi ’lLah, which means “in the name of Allah,” and ends with an AlHamdu li’lLāh, meaning “praise be to Allah!” the bond of faith which binds a Muslim to his Heavenly King is so strong, and the union between the Sovereign and His subject so close, that nothing, however powerful or seductive, can separate him from Allah. The Quran declares that “We are nearer to God than the hablu ’lWarid” (50. 16), which means “the life-vain.”Never was there a favourite courtier who, in his sentiments of affection, devotion, obedience, and respect for his beneficent monarch, could ever equal those, which a Mussulman entertains towards his Lord. Allah is the King of the Heavens and Earth; He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in general. He is the King and the Lord of every Muslim in particular, for it is a Muslim alone who thanks and praises his Almighty King for all that happens and befalls him, be it prosperity or adversity.[1] Jesus Christ has never authorized his followers to call themselves “Christians.” There is no better title for the early Unitarians than “Muslims.” –A.D.( the author)
