Questioner: A Christian’s concept of Allah is different from a Muslim’s concept. So if a pious Christian does things for Allah…
Huzoor (rh): Yes, in fact, whatever the concept may be, in such calamities, when one does good acts—I mean acts for the sake of Allah in any way—then that ultimate understanding of God is always the same in the human mind. They don’t then differentiate between this and that, or between one god and another. Just one unbreakable, unsplit idea of God appears in one’s mind, and that motivates it. This is human psychology. Even non-believers, when they pray at the time of crisis, pray to the same God. So, at the time of such crisis or emotion, the real God reappears in the mind of everybody. Otherwise, they create imaginative gods and things and worship them. But, as I have mentioned, when you love somebody or want to do a favor to someone out of kindness, you never split the concept of God into that God, and that God, and that God. Automatically, the same God comes to your mind.
