SECTION 1 How I embraced Islam -----------(Message of Islam)
My elder brother once brought a video footage of something looking like ancient structures, their remains of civilization and playing in computer in home and I watched a portion of it -- but I couldn't understand a thing of it --- what its about and what does this represent -and I wasn?t bothered about it. I thought it was something about ancient civilization video -that has grasped my brothers' interest. It was what I later known as Mecca and surrounding area in olden days video footage-
Later on the days my brother started bringing books of Islam (mainly Hadiths -- Prophets sayings and conducts)
then series of books that he started bringing in home from his friend -- that grasped my attention and I many of times I had fancied something interesting about the books that he brought, so I took the great interest in reading those books..
I was fully engrossed in reading them yet what could I learn from all those books that Islam has many good moral, social values, code of conduct and ethics for all humans.
And I thought all religions in one way or other representing such good human laws, beneficial for all-And that all religions in one way or other impart qualities of morality, peace, righteousness, good virtues, obedience, respect and love ---- for our fellow human beings ?
That was all i could anticipated and regarded Islam to be like ?
Then it started on, when I used to had series of talks with my elder brother regarding
Religion, Concept of God, Islamic teachings, laws etc, but Primarily Belief in One God and Day of Judgement.
More I used to talk with my brother more I felt he carries a unique point one way or other which I hadn?t come through or heard before.
Most importantly in my initial knowledge of Islam - what grasped my utmost attention
Is that God- whom muslims worship is (Unseen) - like someone our mind cannot comprehend and eyes cannot visualize the image ?for which God my attention is drawn into- has to be the God (the creator of the universe)
Later on days, I came to know about of what was for me a crucial thing or became the turning point in my knowledge and understanding of Islam.
My brother during the conversation he said for a person to become a muslim, he must declare testimony of faith --- i.e., in arabic testimony of faith (La ilaaha illah laah Muhammad Rasoollaah) ? I knew of something like this or heard these sentence before (as regards to declaration of faith in islam) -- but didn?t knew its translation of words or its actual meaning. I became aware of the meaning in true sense from books that I had read or from what my brother had told the meaning of these words (testimony of faith ie There is no God but One God and Muhammad is the messenger of God) for what I clearly understood in and such as ? that There is no God besides God and Muhammad is His Messenger. It was for me simply unbelievable statement from what I understood the religion of Islam. The real authenticity and universal truth lies in these words just paying attention to these words and understanding the gravity of it, the true essence of Islam lies-
(There is No other God besides God) Hence, none is worthy of being worshipped besides God ?its real meaning-this single line is sufficient to disapprove all the other major beliefs of the world ?and I associated myself to islam from thereon.
It started my journey of Islam from thereon -I associated myself to the islam ---but not even to the surface level as such. because It turned out to be after a period of time of few months or so I was feeling detached to it. something wasn?t fully cleared to me that I hadn?t yet started practicing Islam-like offering prayer, fasting, etc and also in my thoughts Islam seemed to had become distant and unknown aspect in my life. And thats because something was gravely missing in my understanding of Islam through the passage of time of one year and so. It seemed to me that I had detached myself to Islam and I was not even bothered about it, only through my lack of knowledge and understanding. Because I hadn?t yet read the holy book of Islam - not even the single chapter of the (Qur?an)- the source of Islam.
Till then, I was aware of the Islam from outside sources other than Quran ---I had read some verses of Quran here and there ? in books of Islam and articles on the internet yet not convincingly understood the real essence of Islam, like the way Qur?an presents its message.
Something which I needed to make myself fully aware of the Islam is nothing but Qur?an ? Holy Book of Islam
So that I would never feel that I was going away from it and it would be then knowing everything I ever wanted to know ---
SECTION 2 Qur?an ---Holy Book of Islam
The real message and true essence of religion of islam in incorporated in Qur?an --- there is no other source which can make things crystal clear about God, religion, human laws, moral behavior, social justice, equality, economic laws etc- other than Qur?an ---
When for the first time I was reading this holy book, I was fully aware that this book will unleash the supreme aspect of Islam in best possible way--- because I think for truth to become prevalent in the world or to atleast become part of my life, something unexpected and unimaginable was needful to make it possible----the source of which became the Qur?an.
Reading through the Qur?an in the beginning (From Chapter 1 To Chapter 5) in few days period? I had taken sometime for realization the exact nature of teachings in Qur?an--- unexpected or unique point hasn?t been unleashed from my understanding point of view till chapter 5. While infact the authenticity of the message I couldn?t understood in real sense, I couldn?t grasped the real message, all the other factors related to it ----
While the fact of the matter is that there are 114 chapters in Qur?an and each chapter of it astonishingly represents supreme level of uniqueness, that uniqueness and foremost Qur?an law is undeniable truth and it must be followed by all.
If you know there are rules and regulations, or code of conducts, or injunction, or laws, discipline ? whatever you can say.
But one thing is sure that Qur?an is certainly presenting many laws and their implication that has to be followed by all human beings in many of its verses, I have given the example in the following words about Qur?an?s laws ---
First of all one should know that Qur?an?s Message is generally referred to all the human beings. Its implication is for everyone. There is no discrimination at all one can find in its message and that it is meant for all. And its implication of laws is for all ---- keeping in the contents that every individual has its own circumstances, capabilities of mind, limitations and hurdles as long as person is mentally sound to understand it.
It is but a reminder for the worlds-------(Qur?an 3887)
It is but a reminder for the worlds.
For whomever of you wishes to be straight------(Qur?an 8127,2
SECTION 3 QURAN?S LAWS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
Quran?s Injunctions Myself And True Believers Many others may raise a point Against Qur?an
Prayer, Fasting, charity I understand the gravity and Everyone has opinion to make
etc essence of the message and that?s difference of opinion can
And I always try to abide by only cause conflicts between all, but
all the rules and teachings at the same time there is room to be
of Qur?an. maintained between conflicts ? its
for peace and brotherhood between us
there is no law on earth greater than peace
brotherhood, co-operation and coexistence
there has to be a desire solution
that needs to be find out that which is
common for all and suitable for
all so that peace and harmony
can be maintained.
As for me, I can understand that what is best for me would never be best for other person. There is difference of thinking, opinion and choice --- and it has to be there,-what implication I have to follow according to Qur?an is suitable for me while it may not be not suitable for many others ? and this difference of opinion and perception is bound to be there ? even though source is same and it is meant for all.
But most importantly, Qur?an is not based upon rules and regulation or code of conducts or any earthly law. Unique aspect of Qur?an is generality of its message, its as much general for you as it is for me and for any stranger person.
I have written about some Qur?ans injunctions above ? There is one irresistible law in the Qur?an which draws our attention, remind us hundreds of times for it is the principle of all laws.
And its implication is to be maintained by all.
Acknowledgement of this law is itself acknowledgement of Islam --- you are within the realm of Islam ?if you are giving acknowledgement to this universal law and abide to it strongly ---
Once you are within the realm of Islam ?you may start going against it ? after reaching to the threshold of truth ? it you may starts to raise doubts if not applying understanding/common sense. Unless person is a sincere and honest person he or she can never ever think of going against Qur?an because Qur?an Principle law is undeniable fact.
SECTION 4 The Principal Message of Qur?an is General For All
For example
Hypothetical Scenario ---
Suppose there are two types or categories of peoples in this world ---
Half of the World Population possess Common sense ? and they comes in the category of ? ?The Guidance of God?
Other Half of the World Population doesn?t possess Common Sense ----- and they comes in the category of ---?Misguided, Ignorant, Unaware And Ungodly?
But if we presume that you and me are on the Guidance of God?But if am going to interact
With those who are misguided people ? they may not agree that they are misguided in the first place--- they will say they are the most guided people in this world infact better guided than the others. How to get solution of this hypothetical problem? ------so what was for me common sense before is not common for all at all. But what is needful now ? more than applying common sense here, sincerity and honesty is required to solve this hypothetical scenario
Sincerity and Honesty to accept that --- What is Common Sense may ironically goes against his own belief, his parents belief and society he lives in, friends and relatives, family life, and everyone else.
SECTION 5 FOREMOST LAW ---UNIVERSAL LAW IN QUR?AN ?UNIVERSAL TRUTH- COMMON SENSE ? OBVIOUS TO BE KNOWN ?AND UNIQUENESS OF QURAN ---
There are plenty of verses which I can assure you about Qur?an being unique in its teachings
The uniqueness of Qur?an?s teachings is that no person can even think the other side of it, for example, if iam not in total agreement with its teachings ?I should have points that can prove my validity ? or atleast which can show other perspective it---while there is no alternative for the truth declared in Qur?an (That?s why Its ?Universal Truth?)
.....And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so be aware of God and obey me.?
God is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him, this is a Straight Path------------(Quran 350,51)
And your God is but One God, there is no God but He; the Almighty the Most Merciful---------- (Quran 2163)
Your God is one God. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are denying, and they are arrogant-----------(Quran 1622)
As for those they call on besides God, they do not create anything, but are themselves created
----------------(Quran 1620)
That is because God is the truth, and what they call on besides Him is falsehood. And God is the High, the Great----------(Quran 2262)
And God judges with the truth, while those they call on besides Him do not judge with anything. Certainly, God is the Hearer, the Seer-------(Quran 4020)
That is because God is the truth, and that which they call on besides Him is falsehood, and that God is the High, the Great.-------------(Quran 3130)
That is because those who disbelieve followed falsehood, while those who believe followed the truth from their Lord. God thus cites for the people their examples-----------------(Quran 473)
Say Do you serve other than God what cannot harm you or benefit you? God is the Hearer, the Knower-------------(Quran576)
And do not call besides God any god, there is no god but He. Everything will fade away except His presence. To Him is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned-----------(Quran 288
These verses mentioned above represent principle law of Qur?an and which is universal law
It is that simple and understandable thing, that doesn?t require a second thought to accept its general message as Ultimate truth ---
Anything besides above mentioned verses would alienate or deviate a person from God?s Guidance.
The question of having doubts about universal law of Qur?an ? doesn?t even arise ?and it doesn?t even require a person?s honesty or dishonesty-or anything else other than acceptance of common sense and to believe in it..
Because, As for me, it is not even a belief or something which I should believe so that I can follow it ? These verses and message it represent is clear and evident ? that this is the ?Straight path? --- and ?Guidance of God? because it is as clear as how we see, hear, listen, night and day, darkness and light etc ---nobody will ask me ?do I believe in seeing, hearing, talking? As I got these organs and senses, then its normal that I would never be a blind as long as my eyes showing clearly what is apparent, clear and evident?And its normal that I would never fool around myself and acting or pretending to be a blind as if iam blind (from understanding point of view)
And I remember, By the time I had read the first 10 chapters of Qur?an for the first time itself, I was shaken up, it opened my eyes to the truth, the way its giving the message, I was speechless, I couldn?t believe what I was reading is so great, that its making all things clear and apparent. I have so far in my life read the Qur?an 7to 8 times completely with understanding And hundreds of times in parts or portions
The importance and gravity of its message hasn?t got any lesser for me through the passage of time till today. (praise be to God)
And Quran, certainly is questioning to those who are going against the universal truth ?in such manner-
And the example of those who disbelieve is like one who repeats what he has heard of calls and shouts; deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not understand--------(Qur?an 2171)
You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and flee.
Nor can you guide the blind from their misguidance. You can only make those who believe in Our revelations hear you, for they have surrendered--------(Qur?an 2780,81)
And there are some of them who listen to you; but can you make the deaf hear, if they do not comprehend?
And there are some of them who look at you; but can you guide the blind, if they do not see?---------(Qur?an 4243)
You cannot make the dead listen, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs.
Nor can you enlighten the blind from their straying; but you can only make those who believe in Our revelations listen, for they have surrendered--------------(Qur?an 3052,53)
Say ?The bad and the good are not equal, even if the abundance of the bad pleases you.? So be aware of God, O you who have understanding, that you may succeed---------------(Qur?an 5100)
And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Quran alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion-----------(Qur?an 1746)
For example -----If a person wants to follow the ?Guidance of God? -----First and foremost thing is that, he must first --?Believe in God? in the sense that he must acknowledge the fact that God is the only supreme being that deserves my recognition, acknowledgement and worship.
How can a person claims or pretends to be that he is on ?Guidance of God? by not even acknowledging God?
By following the ?belief system? of forefathers, parents and under the pretext, influence or belonging to other peoples beliefs, society, cultural influence etc? how can someone falls prey to ?vain desires? of himself and of others ?desires? and still claim that his belief system is based on truth?
Because As far as my understanding goes, No Being can become ?God? or never Be ?God? (even Its ?According?- To All human Beings in world) ?unless God Himself gives authority---
-And Qur?an exactly said- that God has never given any authority to anyone to follow any other way Besides His own way and guidance.
And acknowledgement and worship is solely for God.
And this is My path, a Straight One. So follow it, and do not follow the other paths lest they divert you from His path. That is what He has enjoined you to that you may be righteous---------(Quran 6153)
What you serve besides God is nothing but names which you have created you and your fathers, God did not send down any authority for such. The judgment is for none but God. He ordered that none be served but He. That is the true system, but most of mankind do not know--------(Quran 1240)
What you serve besides God is nothing but names which you have created you and your fathers, God did not send down any authority for such. The judgment is for none but God. He ordered that none be served but He. That is the true system, but most of mankind do not know--------(Quran 1240)
Here are our people, they have taken gods besides Him, while they do not come with any clear authority. Who then is more wicked than one who invents lies about God?-----------(Quran 1815)
And they serve besides God what He did not send any authority upon, and what they have no knowledge of. And the wicked will not have any helper--------------(Quran 2271)
Because there can be no other way besides God and His Guidance, its not even comes in imagination of mind
to even think of anything besides to what is apparent in Qur?ans message, in terms of belief and authenticity.
I can?t help but wonder ? how true Qur?an can be for having such general, universal and profound message.
SECTION 6 UNBELIEVERS(NON-MUSLIMS) TOO BELIEVE IN GOD (GODS OF THEIR OWN NAMES AND DESIRES)
And its not like that- that Unbelievers or Non-muslims doesn?t believe in God or ?God is the creator of all things in Universe? or nor its hard for them to believe in God ---- Qur?an making the point clear by saying when you put question to unbelievers too, they will quickly give response by saying ? This whole world and universe is God?s creation?
The Question is now what?s holding them back to follow God?s guidance And give acknowledgement to God only?
When God?s guidance has come in the sight of Qur?ans message, establishing the universal truth and how greatly it does, can only be express through the words of Qur?an---
As I explained before, sincerity to accept that which is common sense and that which is obvious in entire universe----is questionable for unbelievers and non-muslims?
And if you ask them ?Who created the heavens and the Earth, and put the sun and the moon in motion?? They will Say ?God.? Why then did they deviate?-----------(Quran 2961)
And if you ask them ?Who sends down water from the sky, thus reviving the land after its death?? They will Say ?God,? Say ?Praise be to God.? But most of them do not understand---------(Qur?an 2963)
Who is more evil than one who fabricates lies and attributes them to God, or denies the truth when it comes to him? Is there not a place in Hell for the rejecters?---------------(Qur?an 296
And if you ask them ?Who created the heavens and the Earth?? They will Say ?God.? Say ?Praise be to God.? Yet, most of them do not know-------------(Qur?an 3125)
Say ?Who provides for you from the sky and the land? Who possesses the hearing and the eyesight?, and who brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and who controls all affairs?? They will Say ?God.? Say ?Will you not be righteous!? Such is God, your true Lord. So what is after the truth except straying! Why then do you turn away?-----------(Qur?an 1031,32)
Say ?I am warned not to serve those you call upon other than God? Say ?I will not follow your desires, otherwise I would go astray and I would not be of those guided.?-----------(Qur?an 656)
SECTION 7 ALL IMPORTANT AND NATURAL ----UNIVERSAL TRUTH
So far in this Article ? I brought before you ?Universal Truth mentioned in Qur?an? ---From only few of the verses of Qur?an ?Qur?an has lot of these verses. Infact whole Qur?ans message is going in the Sequence of ?Universal Truth?
Now I want to Categorise ---?Universal Truth? in terms of Importance and Acceptance ? even though I know its All-important, natural to accept. ? but still I have to start from somewhere-----
NATURAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE ?UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Even If there had been ?No Islam-No Qur?an ---even then it was natural to accept ?Universal Truth? ---Just imagine yourself into Hypothetical Scenario?in which ? you are alone in this world? ?no other being with you, only you and you want to follow God?s Guidance ? but since there is no Islam-No Qur?an available ---i don?t think you would associate anyone with God in worship (worship others besides God)?even if you do ?you would know that?s your fallacy belief, created by you- that?s not the ultimate truth ?because Universal Truth is that- None has the right to be worshipped or worthy of acknowledgement besides God--- (La ilaaha ilal laah)
IMPERATIVE, COMPULSORY, AND OBLIGATORY IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE ?UNIVERSAL TRUTH
When Guidance Has come From the Qur?an (Holy Book of Islam)---awareness to acknowledge solely God also came through the message of Qur?an And Universal Truth established on earth ------And this truth was not established from the time of Qur?ans Revelation ?or through Prophet Muhammad (last Prophet of God) lt established from the very first human being itself- Adam (peace be upon him) himself is the first messenger of God (According to Qur?an)?
And what prevented the people from believing when the guidance came to them, and to seek forgiveness from their Lord? Are they waiting for what happened to the people of old to come to them, or that the retribution be brought to them face to face?----------(Qur?an 1855)
And judge between them by what God has sent down, and do not follow their wishes, and beware lest they divert you away from some of what God has sent down to you. If they turn away, then know that God wants to inflict them with some of their sins; and most of the people are corrupt------------------(Qur?an 549)
He is the One who sends down to His servant clear revelations, to bring you out of the darkness into the light. God is Compassionate towards you, Merciful.--------------(Qur?an 579)
So that truth will be manifest, and the falsehood will be confounded; even if the criminals dislike it.-------------(Qur?an 8
We have sent down to you clear verses; only the evil ones would disbelieve in them------------.(Qur?an 299)
O people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a guiding light---------------(Qur?an 4174)
MAKE DECISION-- DON?T BE LATE?OR IT MAY WILL BE TOO LATE
what you want to do ---will you not believe ?God? and accept the universal truth? ? what so strange about this? I can?t believe
that someone can go against ?God? and universal message ?iam emphasizing here because its all-important and natural to believe? And
Mainly because Qur?an message is based on ?God? And His ?Guidance? so that you become ?Believer of God? . And Don?t be among the disbelivers even after when... (WHEN GOD HAS SENT GUIDING LIGHT FOR MANKIND)
FIRST AND FOREMOST/ COMPULSORY/PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE EXISTENCE/AND MOST IMPORTANT THING IN OUR EXISTENCE IN THIS WORLD ------- IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE ?UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Universal Truth is All-important, Natural to Acknowledge ---Just Awareness of the Universal Truth makes huge difference because then it naturally destroys and perishes falsehood from the root level itself---The person who is rejecting ?God? and still sticks to? Falsehood? in this life ? will ultimately go to hell ? and the punishment of Hell is so severe and horrible, that one cannot imagine its gravity ---Punishment of burning in fire, drinking of boiling water etc -- For (Rejecting ?God? And For Unbelievers of ?God?)
And the Day the disbelievers are displayed to the Fire ?Is this not the truth?? They will answer ?Yes indeed, by our Lord.? He will say, ?Then taste the retribution for what you had rejected.?----------------------(Qur?an 4634)
Here are two opponents who have disputed regarding their Lord; as for those who rejected, outer garments made from fire are cut out for them, and boiling water is poured from above their heads.
It melts the inside of their stomachs and their skin. And they will have hooked rods of iron.
Every time they want to escape the anguish, they are returned to it. Taste the retribution of the burning-------------(Qur?an 2219 to 22)
I can ?copy and paste? Qur?ans verses regarding Hell and its punishment furthermore to an extent of atleast 50 pages but its too heavier punishment and terrible retribution ? its terrible to even think about it--- my message in this article is regarding ?universal truth? that is to ?believe in God?- (I will cover the topic of punishment in other articles- god willing)
I just want to make this clear is in this ? to believe in God- that which obvious, understandable, natural, and common sense ---anything besides would make you disbeliever. ?And for disbelievers there is terrible punishment forever? ---And the Believers of God and those who believe in truth ?they are not liable for punishment ---infact believers of God and those who doing righteous good deeds are liable for Heaven ?which is all-comfort, blissful, etc ---
..As for those who believed and do good works, they will be in the paradises of bliss. They will have what they wish from their Lord. This is the great blessing?????(Qur?an 4222)
SECTION 8 UNIQUENESS OF QUR?AN
FOR EXAMPLE There is ?Universal Truth? which is ultimate and not dependent upon any other factor --that means Universal Truth is Ultimate and independent? So I will now give sequence to ?Universal Truth? - step by step in 10 points mentioned below-
Universal Truth Is not Dependent on All human beings --- it is the vice versa infact
Because it is Universal Truth ?it should not be dependent on any human being or even all human beings ?infact all human beings should be dependent on universal truth ---
And whosoever strives then he is only striving for himself; for God is in no need of the worlds------------(Qur?an 296)
O man! It is you who stand in need of God, whereas He alone is self-sufficient, the one to whom all praise is due---------- (Qur?an 3515)
To God belongs everything in the heavens and the Earth. God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy--------------(Qur?an 3126)
If you reject, then know that God is in no need of you, and He dislikes rejection for His servants. And if you are appreciative, He is pleased for you. And none shall bear the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of everything you had done. He is fully aware of what is inside the chests---------------(Qur?an 397)
Universal Truth is not dependent on Good Deeds or Bad Deeds of Human beings ---it is the vice versa infact
Universal truth is greater than anything else, if its not dependent on all the human beings ?It won?t matter who?s doing what good deeds or what bad things (Acceptance of Universal Truth is Foremost) ---so universal truth is not dependent on good deeds infact all good deeds (righteous deeds) are dependent on ?Universal Truth?
Say ?Shall we inform you of the greatest losers??
?Those whose efforts in the worldly life were wasted while they thought they were doing good!?
These are the ones who rejected the revelations of their Lord and His meeting. So their works were in vain, and We will not give them any value on the Day of Resurrection----------------------(Qur?an 18103,104,105)
And if they deny you, then Say ?I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are innocent from what I do, and I am innocent from what you do.?------------------(Qur?an 1041)
As for those who reject, their works are like a mirage in the desert. A thirsty person thinks it is water, until he reaches it, he finds it is nothing; and he finds God there and He pays him his due, and God is swift in judgment---------------(Qur?an 2439)
Universal Truth is not dependent on Explanation/Discussion/Argument/Debate/Justification/Reasoning --it should be clear and evident to all.
Universal Truth is not dependent on explanation/discussion/argument/debate/reasoning -so much so that ?There should be no room for explanation/ discussion/ argument/debate/justification/reasoning
They argue with you about the truth when it has been made clear to them; as if they were being herded towards death while they are watching------------(Qur?an 86)
And from mankind is he who argues regarding God without knowledge, and he follows every rebellious devil???(Qur?an 223)
Say ?Do you debate with us regarding God? He is our Lord and your Lord, and we have our work and you have your work, and to Him we are believers.?---------------(Qur?an 2139)
?.Say ?I believe in all that God has sent down from Scripture, and I was commanded to be with justice between you. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds. There is no argument between us and you. God will gather us all together, and to Him is the ultimate destiny.?-----------------(Qur?an 4215)
Universal Truth is not dependent on Proofs/Miracles/Supernatural Events/
Infact there are many scientific proofs and mathematical proofs in Qur?an and even some verses presents some information which 21st century science hasn?t reached to the point so that it can be verified at present time ---what I really know that there are hundreds of scientific proofs and in mathematical calculations also ? and each one is a miracle on its own ?I don?t need to write all of those scientific proofs because they are all just confirming ?Universal Truth? and also-Because I know Qur?an itself is a biggest proof and Miracle of Miracles And as I said Universal Truth is not dependent Proofs/Miracles/Supernatural Events --it is the vice versa ?All Miracles/Supernatural Events are dependent on Universal Truth.
And if We had sent down to them the Angels, and the dead spoke to them, and We had gathered before them everything, they still would not believe except if God wills. But most of them are ignorant-----------------(Qur?an 6111)
And We have cited for the people in this Quran of every example. And if you come to them with a sign, those who rejected will Say ?You are bringing falsehood!?------------------(Qur?an 305
Do they wait until the Angels will come to them, or your Lord comes, or some signs from your Lord? The day some signs come from your Lord, it will do no good for any soul to believe if it did not believe before, or it gained good through its belief. Say ?Wait, for we are waiting------------------(Qur?an 615
Universal Truth has to be Completely Pure/Not even an iota of Falsehood/ And Has to be Secured/Uncorrupted.
Surely, those who have rejected the Reminder when it came to them; and it is an Honourable Scripture.
No falsehood could enter it, presently or afterwards; a revelation from a Most Wise, Praiseworthy-------------(Qur?an 4141,42)
And this is a blessed reminder which We have sent down. Will you be deniers of it?------------(Qur?an 2150)
Indeed it is We who have sent down the Reminder, and indeed it is We who will preserve it-------------(Qur?an 159)
Universal Truth is not dependent on Prophets/Messengers. Infact Prophet is a Human being --(chosen by God). God chosen man amongst the man to become ?Prophet? ? Receiver(prophet) of God?s given Guidance And Conveyer(Messenger) of God?s given Guidance.
Say ?I am no more than a human being like you. It is inspired to me that your god is One god, therefore you shall be upright towards Him and seek His forgiveness. And woe to those who set up partners.?-------------------(Qur?an 416).
God chooses messengers from amongst the Angels and from amongst mankind. God is Hearer, Seer---------------(Qur?an 2275)
Are they surprised that a warner has come to them from amongst them, so the rejecters said ?This is something strange!?------ (Qur?an 502)
Are you surprised that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from amongst you to warn you, and that you may receive mercy??-----------------(Qur?an 763)
Universal Truth is not even dependent on ? Any Subject Matter/Any Sequence. Infact Qur?an is a Book of Conversation or Dialogue presenting the Universal Truth itself.
If you will read any other book on earth, it would alteast have a Subject Matter and following that Sequence of Subject matter and accordingly It furnishes information, knowledge, etc.
Qur?an contains 114 chapters(surahs) and each chapter(surah) has a particular name -----But name of chapter is not subject matter of that particular chapter itself, its not based on that chapter name Qur?an message is followed. Name of the chapter is just the single essence of the message of that chapter.
Infact Whole Qur?ans message is following the Sequence of Universal Truth ?which you can confirm it after reading it.
Universal Truth is not dependent on Subjects Matter/Any Sequence, it is the vice versa, And Whole Qur?an is in the Sequence of ?Universal Truth? And What must be followed After ?Universal Truth? (that too must be according to ?Universal Truth?)
Infact Qur?an is a Book of Conversation or Dialogue Because Every Verse in the Qur?an is a separate verse)--That?s why I am able ?Copy-Paste (only few verses of Qur?an) and could form this article and present the Universal Truth (message of Qur?an)
---And I was not even required to write this article because those who have read the Qur?an sincerly knows it is the Universal Truth and Word of God.
Those to whom We have given the Scripture know it as they know their own children; and a group of them hides the truth while they know. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt----------------(Qur?an 2146,147)
Those to whom We have given the Scripture know it as they know their children. Those who lost their souls, they do not believe--------------(Qur?an 620)
Shall I seek other than God as a judge when He has sent down to you this Scripture fully detailed?? Those to whom We have given the Scripture know it is sent down from your Lord with truth; so do not be of those who have doubt----------------(Qur?an 6114)
Universal Truth = Message of Qur?an
Iam too a human being like you, my thinking is also lay man?s thinking ---But I have READ THE QUR?AN so I got to know Universal Truth only from the Qur?an And I also know that Universal Truth = Message of Qur?an
Whole message of Qur?an is equal to Universal Truth ?its similar, co-equal, independent, ultimate and supreme same as message of Qur?an is independent, ultimate and supreme And infact Only ?One Single Verse of Qur?an? is sufficient and equals ?The Universal Truth? (if a person only thinks about it) And Qur?an contains 6000+ verses and and is in perfect sequence to Universal Truth.
DEFINITION OF GOD = EXACT UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Say ?He is God, the One,?
?God, the Absolute,?
?He does not beget, nor was He begotten,?
?And there is none who are His equal.?............. (Qur?an chapter 112)
?God is one (He is one and only) He is absolute (Self-sufficient, independent---All are dependent upon Him) He does not beget ---He has not given birth to anyone, nor is he Born ---And 4th line is None who are his equal (there is none comparable to Him)
These 4 lines above mentioned are touchstone from which we can know ?all false beliefs of Gods in every religion or exact universal truth of Islamic belief of God ---That?s why it is the definition of God (because no one is worthy of acknowledgement and worship besides God, So No being can be fit into these 4 lines besides God ?These 4 lines clearly indicating No one befits to be God besides God ---so its definition of God.
Who could send the Qur?an to Mankind other than God?------Infact Qur?an is Word of God/Revelation from God/Guidance from God/Message from God.
And Qur?an is a Book of Guidance for Mankind, whose message is ultimate and supreme
Message of Qur?an is Unique (those who have read the Qur?an knows it), Independent message ? but only dependent upon God to produce such a book, completely based on ?God And His Guidance?
The revelation of the Scripture is from God, the Noble, the Knowledgeable---------(Qur?an 402)
It is but a reminder for the one who takes heed.
Sent down from the One who created the Earth and the heavens above----------(Qur?an 203,4)
The sending down of the Scripture is from God, the Noble, the Wise-----------(Qur?an 391)
O people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a guiding light-------------(Qur?an 4174)
And this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds---------(Qur?an 26192)
We have sent down to you the Scripture for the people with truth. Then, whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray goes astray to his own loss. And you are not a keeper over them--------------(Qur?an 3941)
This Quran could not have been produced without God, but it is to authenticate what is already present, and to give detail to the Scripture in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds-------------(Qur?an 1037)
Is one who knows that the truth has been sent down to you from your Lord like one who is blind? Only those with understanding will remember---------(Qur?an 1319)
SECTION 9 BLIND FAITH/FALLACIOUS BELIEFS/DARKNESS
HINDUISM
Hindus primary belief is that - Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh,(concept of trinity of Gods)/ God is one but in the form of brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh (TRINITY) And concept of Incarnation(God coming in human form on earth) in and such as Ram, Krishna, Buddha, etc ----
Defining Gods in forms and concepts, stories and myths. Giving different forms, shapes, pictures, idol worship and so on and so forth---Hinduism is more of a ritualistic belief. it is a combination of rituals, beliefs, stories and myths. And there is no ending of these rituals and beliefs. You can get gods in varieties of shapes and forms as per your desire in hindusim.
What I really know is that it is such a mystical and fallacious belief ?because I need to do lot of research just to know who is who and what is what in Hinduism which I will never do because I don?t want to get confused myself.
Hinduism is a ocean of false beliefs and practices because in any way you can look at ?its mystery unfolded or mystical belief and whats pathetic and foolishness about this belief ?there is no reasoning attached to this belief- that?s why I said its a mystical belief and If I will go into reasonings for this belief ?it would be greater foolishness from the part of me because falsehood is in all varieties available in this belief (it is a cycle of falsehood) and that which is apparent, clear and evident for me.
Because I know ?God has given a human being such a system(mind) in which there is bydefault--- thinking, common sense, understanding, reasoning, knowledge, information, etc so if we stops to think, use common sense, apply reasoning,?then whats the difference remains between donkey and a man?
First of all, I don?t believe in reasoning, as I got common sense and understanding, the question of reasoning doesn?t even arise. And if I have to reason with anyone then I will first reason with myself to know ?what is right and wrong and what is truth and falsehood.
One can do reasoning considering falsehood to defend it or support it, Infact tens and thousands of reasoning, justification to support the false belief and being convinced about it.
But Universal Truth is above all and not dependent upon reasoning or justification.
And the question of reasoning doesn?t even arises as far as Qur?an is concerned, because Qur?ans message is ultimate truth, supreme and undoubtedly word of God ? I can still copy-paste more than thousand verses below which I know its ultimate truth ? Only one verse is sufficient for me now to make you litte more aware.
Say ?O people of the Scripture, let us come to a common understanding between us and between you; that we do not serve except God, and do not set up anything at all with Him, and that none of us takes each other as patrons beside God.? If they turn away, then Say ?Bear witness that we have surrendered.?-------------------------------(Qur?an 364)
SECTION 10 READ THE QUR?AN
Whenever I have presented Qur?ans verses(in this article so far), never think that Qur?an only says this what you have just read till now, (the verses of Qur?an). Yes ofcourse, Qur?an says this but besides this also Qur?an has so much To convey - that I need to ?Copy-Paste? whole Qur?an for someone who hasn?t read the Qur?an ?-Because it is not the whole Qur?an in totality or entirety----
Because I have just based this article on the topic of presenting ?Universal Truth? ----covered only basic or primary belief of islam (La Ilaaha illah laah).
Read the Qur?an if you haven?t read it, Read it, if you want to know everything about it -
To know what you want to follow in this life, or Even to know what you don?t want to follow in this life ?Read the Qur?an.
Don?t go against message of Qur?an until or unless you have read it full.
And My intention to write this article was only that I tried to present the Islam in simplest way as per my understanding ?I haven?t yet presented the Qur?an as how wonderful the Qur?an is as per my understanding --- This much knowledge I shared with you was the starter point of my belief and practice of islam (submission to God) it has become my way of life--- My Understanding of Qur?an message grown loops and bounds in the past 6 years----And my attachment and bonding to message of Quran(word of God) continues.. (praise be to God)..
And I am feeling glad that I have written this article, because I feel greater happiness when I utilize the verses of Qur?an- because all through out writing this article, I have a feeling - ?that Iam missing out so many verses of Qur?an? because I know ??Qur?an is a book of Complete Guidance? ---I will continue my journey and my expression of life utilizing more and more verses of Qur?an in coming articles (God willing) to make my faith stronger and for giving me utmost happiness.
Following are the topics I wish I can cover in future as per my understanding (God willing)
Code of conducts for human beings
How Prophets conveyed divine message
Disbelievers attitude to refute the truth
Scientific and Mathematical Miracle in Qur?an
Day of Judgement
Heaven And Hell
And I don?t need to do any research to cover these topics?my content is already there with me (ie Qur?an)
About Me
As far as I could remember about myself from my childhood days. I know myself to be a jolly, fun loving and cheerful kid, I would often indulge myself in things being petty though but delightful for me And yes childrens have their own way of finding joy from anything and I used to be a kid who would keep himself happy all the time and something everyone loved being in a joy of childhoold -- the attraction of innocency and simplicity are the characteristics of childrens.
I real essence of childrens that they have so much in them infact as its like a child represent a whole world within himself--though may not apparant but inside in their thoughts -- world which is growing, wanting to know, so that he would be once become participant of outside world -- As for me, those were the days of my childhood where I could understood whole lot of myself, my nature, and my soul from my early days of my childhood.
There is no particular incident requires to be mentioned here from my childhood days or nor in my teenage days-
Except the fact simplicity, honesty and innocency are the basic characteristics of my nature that is deeply rooted from my childhood days.
As far as my background- i was born in ulhasnagar(small town) it is in the outskirts of Mumbai city (India). And In a hindu family.
Basically, my parents aren?t much religious but the traditionally following all the basic rituals of hinduism, and I was among participant of all kinds of rituals and festivals of Hinduism from my childhood to my maturity ie till the age of 21.
Hinduism was for me, from my perspective from beginning itself is more like a tradition than a religion.
Tradition of worshipping different Gods such as?Ram, Krishna, Ganpati, etc but that is a religion of Hinduism and a part of life for me too till I became aware of aware of Islam (submission to God) and Universal Truth (Qur?an) ? Differentiation of falsehood and truth became apparent for me, when I came to know about Islam.
But In true sense I was introduced to Islam (from some of the articles that I had read initially) just like so far you have read this article of mine, similiarly I was introduced to Islam by a muslim friend lives in my neighbourhood and He was the one who had given me books and articles of Islam.
The meaning of the word ?Islam? (submission or surrender to God), and meaning of follower of Islam (person who surrenders to God is called muslims)- were itself surprising for me in a sense I wondered something is there in this religion which I should know about?
My elder brother first converted to Islam and I used to had talks with him regarding God and Day of judgement etc.
Again something which was obligatory to me was reading the Qur?an to know everything about it.
And By the time I had read first 10 chapters of Qur?an at that period of time, Even before I could continue reading 11th chapters and so on. It was sufficient for me to know that it is the ultimate truth or universal truth I started to offer my regular prayer (salat) to God.
And I started following Islam thereafter.. My name is Manish Dadwani (converted to Islam and changed my name to Naeem Dadwani (my muslim name now) six years back i.e., that was the year 2003.
And Its been six years from now that I have been following and practicing Islam.
Iam now 27 years old ie (ie present year 2009) And as I said before --- My Understanding of Qur?an message grown loops and bounds in the past 6 years----And my
