If "Only Allah", then "Allah Alone" is our watchword

Salaam drfazl, and the rest
Thanks for your detailed reply to my questions.
As far as I can sense, you have gained deep wisdom from The Creator. Although my mind perhaps would like further elaboration on some answers, or is not really satisfied, I also know that it is the mind in it's disconnectedness which lures us away from Allah, or at least this is my current understanding, and I shall not fall prey to my mind to demand further answers in absurdum. I will not ask more details about the cow. There are already plenty of such threads here on this forum... and they lead no-where. I will take your posts, and ask Allah for increased understanding. This I know works, because I see it demonstrated in my life continuously. I will ask Allah to open my eyes further, to truth and reality. It's a lifelong journey back home to Allah and reality, and I really love this journey... it gives meaning to life.One of my favorite prayers to Allah is to show me the truth, let me be able to handle it and let me find joy in it and love it. It has done wonder for me so far.
Thank you again for your kind replies.
Peace and best wishes! -
Salam zulf,
As and when I post on various topics under this thread just keep reading it. Naturally without any difficulty you would feel getting imbibed into the essence of Quran and all hesitancy shall be overcome in due course for I post each one with prayer.

Make Not Allah Hate Us
Allah hates those who speak things that they do not do while they claim to be believers in humility1. Arguments develop only because there is no personal proof in practice to what we say. Those who engage in exchange of vanities - it is a loss to both the parties with shaitan as the mediator leading both the parties to the inevitable dispute, ending up parting ways in enmity. If we fear Allah's displeasure upon us, we would prayerfully take utmost care to utter any word we say shall have to be pleasantly communicative to the hearts of those who possess the listening ability with comprehensiveness. Such would only add to the nice and subtle opinions already put forth if they have one of their own. With such a gathering, small or big, Allah is with them2 complementing their niceties increasing their peace and wisdom; and make them disperse in search of Allah's bounties with salam3; and glorifying God for having gathered for us such wonderful people as participants and audience.

O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that you should say that which you do not - 62.2,3
-
There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be - 58.7
-
And when the prayer is thus ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful - 62.10

Make not Allah hate us - 2
The soul houses the RUH of Allah through which Allah sends down His revelation to the soul distinguishing the righteous path from the path of error to those who seek guidance from Allah alone; it is such of them whom Allah is pleased with and upon them He sends His Grace. Who are these people and how they earn the pleasure of Allah? The purity of one's soul is preserved as long as they seek and receive the guidance from the RUH, guarding each soul. Regarding every matter of dispute and every situation of gloom in the heart, they observe patience in the Name of Allah, and listen to the Lone voice speaking to them clearly, "You shall not suffer either confusion or depression at any point of time." Such people are well aware that this is the voice of their God because they believe He alone can deliver such distinction clarity with regard to the future.
Their patience, their belief, their listening, their obedience, their submission to their RUH - all such qualities are due to their reflection and reasoning in all matters of life in their souls with questions such as what, why, when, whence and how? As these questions are well entrenched in their souls as believers that they are, and who do not ask the queries to or take the guidance from the outside world, they are listened to only by their God. Only now God answers each of them with a beautiful guidance to suit each one's natural ability to follow His course, individually, without the need for anybody's help.
At any given time there are very many people of this standing round the globe; Allah chooses the best among them for the Gracious living by His Mercy to make him live before his people as a formidable Sign from Him; and there are messengers of this order in every town, every capital and in every linguistic population, chosen by His Grace endowing them of His Wisdom for all time to come. Allah is the Best to judge as to who to choose for guiding a misguided people. Such people do come to their people with message of admonition and glad tidings with clear proof and wisdom from their God; though the people receive the message in their souls with awe, the evil of their envious behaviour overtakes them, making them reject with arrogance, the message and admonition wholesomely. Lo! they know not they had rejected their own souls, shuttering down their gateways for heaven inviting the curse and the wrath of Allah upon them. This is the worse they could do in their entire lives. Their abode is hell and disgraceful punishment.
"The worst is what they have earned by selling their souls-- that they rejected out of sheer envy, the Graceful Guidace that Allah sends down on whoever of His servants He pleases; so they have incurred upon them wrath upon wrath; to such rejecters is a disgraceful punishment." 290

Earning the Grace of Allah
Allah's Grace is not forbidden to anyone. The grace of Allah will not go unrewarded for all the good works one does in his entire life however trivial or small or indistinct it might be, even if its size is of the seed of a mustard and also, even though the good work he has done is a long forgotten one. In this way there cannot be a sigle living individual who has not done even a single good deed by way of his mind, or of his words, or of his actions during his life. Allah's grace is bestowed upon the heart of the receiver of the reward thus strengthening his faith upon faith, sharpening his distinguishing ability, making him stand firm in the cause of righteousness thus elevating his positions by the time because of the constancy even in such good deeds of nano miniature scale. They would be well contented and satisfied in life with gratitude for whatever their God had provided them. These people always do wonder why God had given them so much when they had done nothing meritorious in the path of God. What they had done is this they had not envied others when they flourished by their God's Will, and they always guard them from the evil and say "O my God, I seek refuge in You from the evil of the envious when he envies."
There are most people who openly do a lot of seemingly good deeds but unacceptable to God; they are of jealous ones the evil of which undoes all the good works they had done. This evil nature of every person is not only an obstacle to his elevation but to the grief some situation all his life. The more one envies a person who is very well off by his God's grace, the worse is the adversity he would suffer in his life. And the more the envied person ignores the jealous for the sake of God, they would be given even a grand kingdom. Such are they the people of Ibrahim, the idol worshiping society who were normally looked down upon as 'rejecters' by the so called 'muslims'. Allah dislikes them who take up the mantle of judging others in any manner. In this way the 'muslims' are the foremost sinners among the entire human kind. They are the ones standing as model for others why God had deprived them of His Grace.
"The worst is what they have earned by selling their souls-- that they rejected out of sheer envy, the Graceful Guidace that Allah sends down on whoever of His servants He pleases; so they have incurred upon them wrath upon wrath; to such rejecters is a disgraceful punishment." 290
"Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace? But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom." 454

Where and How to invest to harvest?
If you loan for the sake of Allah a beautiful loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. And Allah is Intent in Assessing and Forbearing.
The word 'Beautiful' implies wide ranging application such as fair, handsome, lovely, soothing, comforting, graceful, caring and so on. Allah says your giving loan to the fairly needy and very respectable individuals during their testing times, is the loveliest and most handsome of the investments. Such of them can only be identified by the signs of their restraints for they would uphold the dignity of Allah by not seeking any help from the people in such a way the ignorant ones would account them wealthy. To identify such people what is needed is the grace from Allah, His wisdom and the criterion or the distinguishing ability as the most essential Benevolence from the Most Astute; but by such of His Grace, it is impossible to invest a beautiful loan that would erase all our sins and multiply our gains wisdom wise for the best lives in both the worlds.
Where to Invest and How to Invest for the Harvest! May Allah Guide and Help Us.
Say
"O Allah, increase us in our wisdom; we call on You and we only seek You; Guide us in the Straight Path; the path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your favor and not of those who incurred Your wrath and who You have left astray." -
Where and how to invest to harvest - 2 ?
Who is he that will Loan to Allah a beautiful loan? He would increase it manifold for him, and he will have a liberal Reward.
A beautiful loan means giving with a sense of duty from the remains of our wealth to those who are in need and to who if we give would be pleasing to Allah so that our hearts would have solace in it for all time to come. When Allah is pleased with such, our stature would be such that
- We would be given the wisdom to pick the right kind of soul who patiently would expect Allah's help alone and about whom Allah is pleased with and upon who His Mercy is resting.
- We would personally reach out to such needy with all our help so that none besides us and the needy would ever come to know of it.
- We would not fix a time frame for returning the loan; yet we would free them from any pressure with regard to loan because we know our reward for this is with Allah.
- We put our trust in only Allah and pray for the one who has received the loan.
- Even though we are in need under unforeseen circumstances, we would choose to pray God for us and for them for patience and steadfastness in honouring the goodly loan for His sake.
- We would be helped by Allah in such a way, we would be made to forget the loan we had offered to any goodly soul.
- This is because God meantime by His Grace already had rewarded us with His Ampleness.
- Further, Allah would embark us upon even a higher pedestal.

Disease and Poverty
These two are the penultimate test from Allah for those who claim to be Muslims before they are admitted to heaven or thrown into hell. By calling oneself a Muslim we shall know by that he says, "I believe in the only God for the needs and the requirements of his entire life. I am satisfied that He alone is sufficient for me and I do not seek any help from anyone besides Allah until my soul and life is captured by Allah." The more one claims to be a Muslim, the severe the test for him from Allah. This is because he says so when he is in shirk with or without his know; and he is saying and posing what he is not which is most hateful in the eyes of Allah.
And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, and until such time He makes clear to them what to avoid - for Allah hath knowledge of all things.
The guidance from this ayat is if we want disease and distress free life in this world say not and pose not what you are not; and fear Allah to call oneself or pose oneself as a Muslim when the judgement regarding this about each one is with Allah. Show your faith and fear only to Him.
No beard, no cap, no Arabic names. This basic is necessary to allow Allah Himself to teach what fear for Him is and how to lead a faithful life.
Any input is welcome

Thanks for the fine posts!
The more one claims to be a Muslim, the severe the test for him from Allah. This is because he says so when he is in shirk with or without his know; and he is saying and posing what he is not which is most hateful in the eyes of Allah.
I have found that the things we call tests, which can be adversities, sad events, trouble and problems etc, are partly consequences of what we believe and do, but also reminders and invitations to accept Allah as the only Source and Provider of everything. Allah is not unfair, and doesn't let things happen by accident or random. Hardship is a wake-up slap which is a tremendous blessing, because it gives us a chance to see that we need to learn something and correct something in our world view. Hardship, or test, is Allah's blessing and opportunity for us to learn and purify ourselves. If we take the opportunity, then we can grow and improve. If we don't learn from the lessons, we'll have more lessons, again and again, because Allah is The Mericful... but in the end we'll get burnt out and broken... because we refused and failed to learn when the chances were given. Allah and life is not unfair... even though it can be very tough with misery and sadness.
The degree of severity of the tests, in my understanding, depends partly on how much you can handle (and only Allah knows how much that is) and partly on how hard you are resisting the potential positive change. The more resistance you have inside, the more misery you'll have. These seem to be directly proportional to each other. Furthermore, resistance seems to stem from the mind... and when the mind is allowed to alone control a person, while there is no "heart" that can sense the presence and reality of Allah, then there will be much misery in life. The "heart" can pick up Allah's guidance, while your mind is blind.
Declaring infront of Allah that you are muslim is one way of saying that you ask Allah to guide you. Since you want guidance, you also acknowledge that you need help to be purified, and this is another way of saying that you have things to learn. Having things to learn (like learning to rely on Allah..) means you need lessons, which in turn and essence are challenging situations to overcome and go though. I believe Allah says in the Quran that those who claim to believe will surely be tested. I personally see this in two different ways. One way is what I have already mentioned, that since the conscious path toward purification has started (by claiming to believe) then we have to go through all those things that we need to learn... and they'll appear as more or less unpleasant circumstances = tests. The other way is that we need to show that we are honest and sincere in our claim of faith, and that we indeed are ready and determined to walk the talk... that we really mean business. This will show if we are hypocrites or not. And Allah never puts more burden on anyone than he or she can handle. Allah is after all not unfair. So, saying that the test is too much to handle is a lie, in the sense that it IS possible to handle it, even though our mind might disagree. We can handle much more than our poor mind wants us to believe. The question is, do we give up, or do we strive hard toward purification while asking Allah for strength and guidance? Which way do we choose? Allah is indeed The Merciful, but rarely do we realize this.
All we have to do is to accept Allah's invitation to purification. Allah will give us the means, ways and strength to pull through... but we have to have the intention and vision. We should not be quitters, especially when it gets hard. Allah's help is always there (and totally necessary for us), and that is in reality the actual lesson we need to learn. And it is important to understand that it is a process that cannot be rushed. We cannot expect to shed our fears, resistance and negativity over night. We need to be patient, work steadfast and just practise relying on Allah. It's a process...
Peace y'all

Your post speaks of your determination to stick to your faith in the Almighty Power and Its Prowess that carries you forwards and towards eternal ascent in all its fineness. A bit of preening one or two points based on the ayats shall remove the obstacles of 'fear of hard tests' such as follows
4147 What would Allah gain with your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is Allah Appreciative and Knowing.
9115 And Allah would not let a people astray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them what they should avoid. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things.
202 We have not sent down the Quran to you to cause you distress
3935 That Allah will turn off from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward the best they used to do.
3953 Say "O my bondsmen who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah for Allah forgives all sins for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
2438 That Allah may reward them with the best of what they did, and increase reward for them of His bounty. Allah giveth blessings without short supply to whom He will.
2570 Except for those who repent, believe and behave justly - for them Allah will replace their distressful deeds with graciousness. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
3 135 And those who, as they involve in evil or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore righteousness from their evil - Who shows righteousness save Allah? - and will not knowingly persist in their evil ways.
3136 Those - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow.
2286 Allah does not charge a soul beyond its capacity. It will have the good it has gained, and it will bear the evil it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten the righteous path or committed evil. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."zulf, if you could include certain of the ayats I have cited above and redo your post removing the obstacle 'fear of hard test', it would be perfect. Those who believe in Allah and stand steadfast, they have no fear nor worry is the word of promise from Allah. Awaiting your complimenting post.

Stay away safe from all adversities
Appreciation is valuing by perception of someone's good nature or quality; and the depreciative assessment against a person starts with his failing character. The character of a good natured person would only reflect in his show of gratitude to the source from where every bit of a good thing should he cherish soulfully. If one is a believer in God, he would give thanks surely and almost instantly to such a Source, the God! If only we show our thanks to God, He says What would your God gain by punishing you if you are grateful and believe? And ever God is Appreciative of your good nature and He is Most Generous and All-Knowing as to what to recompense you with.
If our show of gratitude is to the mark of earning His pleasure, then from this moment up, all our miseries are over to the beginning of the Lasting Day.
The way to show our gratitude is never look down upon some with pride; nor would you look up at others with envy; rather, have compassion for those suffering in adversity seeking for their forgiveness and shall not pass comments on them lest we would invite the displeasure or wrath of our God.
This is because, God says If an affliction should touch you - there had already been destined for others similar afflictions. And We vary its timing among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and to choose witnesses from among you; - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers.
Further, here is the warning from the Almighty as to why we shall seek forgiveness to those who are suffering a trial period Fear a trial which will not strike exclusively those who have wronged among you; and know that Allah is severe in penalty.
The best and the easiest way to guard us from all adversities is to seek forgiveness for anyone who is in a testing situation for, no one knows if he is going to be the chosen witness by Allah. Seeking forgiveness for such is an intercession from us to Allah. Since by such intercession we dutifully and with due remembrance only followed Him, here is the reward for such an intercession
Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden therefrom. And ever is Allah , over all things, a Keeper.
salam, All.

Which is a Halal Food?
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605037.msg321210#msg321210
Glorytothegracious,We shall not eat bad foods or spoilt foods for if we eat we fall to sickness. The Curer is the One who cures you, though there are self-claimed 'curlers, healers, doctors, specialists etc'. All these words are associations to "The Curer, The Healer, The Speacialisr or The Best". All the Best Names on earth are those what man attributes to himself, while they belong only to Allah. Thus there are many many Names of Allah, attributed to men very plainly such as King, Governor and so on without a prefix 'servant of The King, servant of The Governor, servant of The Honorable, servant of His Highness. Thus if our fear is that we shall not associate partners to Allah with reference to All His Beatiful Names, never qualify and call a man with the best of adjectives, or in other words, equate not these filthy people to His Highness, the Majesty of Allah.
We fall sick after eating bad foods or spoilt foods; after the sickness has set in, it is only The Curer cures removing the evil of the foods. Allah says while I, The Purifier make the foods pure for you, and make them Lawful to you to eat thereof, and why do you not invoke My Names O the Curer, O the Purifier, O the Lawful, O the Forgiver, O the Provider, O the Relenting, O the Knower, O the Truthful. What made you believe the organic or halal shop owners, while I am the Trustworthy, The Mumin.
Allah says nothing shall prevent you from eating before touching every food on your platter while remembering of My Names suitably invoking it where necessary and eat while you fear Me alone without fearing the food or worrying about the source from where they came. Because to do so is sin before Allah. If a food refuses to agree with your digestion, your call is upon O the Rectifier.
What has been made as unlawful foods are clearly prescribed thus the dead, the pouring blood, the meat of swine and those foods upon which other than Allah's Names are pronounced. A day to day example for this is we thank and wish each other for providing food at home feast or a feast hosted in restaurants without giving Thanks to Him, The Most Appreciative and without seeking His Forgiveness and His Mercy for our entire future to come.
Finally to invoke the Names of Allah, remember this. In all your needs are His Names. And remember not to grope for Allah' names.

If we want Heaven
We shall not have affection for our fathers or our sons or our brothers or our relations if we find them opposed to Allah and His Messenger. Upon such of us - in our hearts, Allah would inscribe faith and support us with His RUH. And He would admit us to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein we abide eternally. Allah would be pleased with us, and we would be pleased with Him - we are the party of Allah . Unquestionably, the party of Allah - we, are the successful.
There are those three things we shall take into account Allah, His Messenger, His RUH
If Allah is with You and His Ruh is with You, then His Messengers such as Ruhul Quddus(Gibreel, The Messenger who convey the Purest Words from Allah), Ruhul Amin(Mikhail, The Messenger who show the Surest Way by the leave of Allah), are also with You - in Your Heart. Nothing is away or outside of you, if you want to be led to heaven in both here and in the world after.
Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gibreel - it is he who brings down upon your heart, Allah's Command and by His leave , confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers." Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and Gibreel and Mikhail - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.
If we mind and remind ourselves, these two are our true real time Prophets, Messengers for the rest of the world - the worlds' life time.
Your valuable inputs welcome...

Salam zulf,
Who is Jibril? And who is Mikhail? Ruhul Quddus and Ruhul Amin are the two names of one and the same angel Jibril, or different names of the two different angels?
Except Allah none possesses multiple names to Whom belongs all the Beautiful Names in the heavens and in the earth - be they prophets, or messengers from among the men or from among the angels - none has more than one name.
Allah's RUH is with each human being. To enliven it, and to protect it two angelic messengers are assigned to it, Ruhul Quddus and Ruhul Amin.
As each RUH receives the Will of God as His well-measured Wish, this is the Haj ordained upon his soul. Thereat, the Wish induces and influences each one to set out on his Haj. And our whole life is destined to be set upon this Pilgrimage, until our life departs for His abode for good.
Say Ruhul Quddus has brought this from Allah with the truth, that it may secure belief, and as a guidance, and as good news for those who are pleased with Allah. 16102
Here, Ruhul Quddus breathes the Purest Words of Allah into the hearts of the believers to strengthen their belief in the will of Allah that becomes their Haj i.e. their wilful wish of life. In it is the guidance for their entire pilgrimage towards fulfilling Haj; and in it is also the promise of good news from Allah that He would help them and protect them in completing their Haj. There is only one life for us; and there is only one Haj for each of us. Thus Ruhul Quddus, the angel Jibril, brings down the Purest Words of promise from Allah for our entire life on this earth. Every good news is brought down to us with Truth from Allah with signs and revelation to strengthen our belief in all the Wish He had blessed us with through Ruhul Quddus.
If you look at this ayat Ruhul Amin has descended with it... 26193
The ayat is preceded by the guidance, and repeated warnings which Ruhul Amin revealed to the misguided people by the leave of Allah, before finally the destruction of the communities took place as they adamantly persisted in hot pursuit of their desires in exchange for The Haj - involving in all falsehood.
When Allah mentions about the two angels namely Jibril and Mikhail; and while Jibril is Ruhul Quddus, the other angel Mikhail should be none other than The Ruhul Amin.
While i obey Allah I follow these messengers in my life.

The Religion of Nuh for All The Worlds
Certainly We sent Nuh to warn his people to guard before painful affliction would befall them. He said, "O my people, I am but a plain Warner; call upon Him alone; and follow me."
Here the painful afflictions are diseases and poverty. These are but a Warning from Allah, before by His command any catastrophe destroys us en masse. Today we suffer from societal disorders and social disharmony to individual afflictions both mentally and physically. All the knowledge of men such as physical, physiological, pathological, psychological, psychotic, meditation, yoga, spiritual therapies have come to a stand off. All these have been proved to be a farce before the gruesome picture of deliriously deleterious world populace. Each one's state of balance is dwindling because of their increasing incoherence and in coordination between their intuit and intellect. All the therapies of physiological cure, and subjects of mental stability hypothesised and prosthesis-ed by the men proclaimed 'doctors and nobel-laureates' in the field of all material knowledge and mental philosophies had gone down the drain thus far and would meet the same fate any far.
The severe warning from Prophet Nuh has come you are reminded again, Mind is your life and None shall secure it except Allah; and hence call upon Him alone and none besides Him.
4213
It is this life has Allah ordained upon Nuh and unto us. Yet it is hard for those who are wrong-doersAs long as we don't call upon for our mental derangements and physical diseases besides Allah, The Curer, The Almighty, there is no suffering or adversity of any sort that would afflict us or our family or our descendants. It is time we are done with the doctors who say We save your lives! In Prophet Nuh is a perfect exemplar for all people of peace and prosperity.

The wind of Grace
2548
It is He who sends the winds as good news before His grace; and We send down pure water from the sky.Note Winds always carry the sounds of communication; or the breeze of messages; sounds in the wind are audible to the ears; but the messages in the breeze are only perceptible to the mind; there is an air of relief and solace to the breast when some good feel embraces us, as it breezes past. There is not a single breath in our breathing that does not carry winds of message to our hearts; the winds are solely about the future; and again, the winds are always sayer of good tidings. You are a believer in the glad tidings if you keep up your freeness of mind in relation to the messages your hearts have perceived; and your firmness in your resolve takes you closer to God and godliness for you have acquired this ability to understand His Communications; and it is Him who has elevated you in degree for He took account of your efforts, however meagre and minimum it is, to preserve the God-given calmness during times of perplexities. Thereat the Grace comes down upon the people having such hearts like the water pouring down from the sky on a barren land, that is sure to produce greens of splendor all around.
Patience during testing times is the sure winner of both the world's wealths. The more we endure since the breezes of message has touched our hearts, it is because of His bestow we are able to go past the difficult situation; and this is passing in our testing times. The reward for such passing is the victorious life that shall never see worry or fear in both the worlds; they shall have what they wish for; and whatever they ask of is with them in abundance and with all its freshness.
When we see it is beyond us to endure any further, God knows well our standard of perception and our degree of endurance; and it is that surely He will not test us beyond our tolerance threshold. Whoso endures more and more it is because of allowance of His wisdom and therewith the forbearance; He allows this in a measure to whoso He is pleased with only to grace them with as much as they are worth for His bounties, which would last forever.
From such perception, the best of prayers for each of us would be
"O God! Increase us in our patience and help us pass the test of time; Raise us in degrees and ranks in tolerance and wisdom; make our lives easy and smooth during the times of endurance."
Read the above verse thus
It is He who sends the WINDS as viable MESSAGES before delivering His GRACE; and We bring down the CREATIVE LIFE FORCE from the sky.fazlur rahman

The 'Sakar' Hell
And The 19Sakar is the starting of the Hour of one bang of a 'Resounding reverberation' in the hearts of the evil-mongering for what they had been involved in their entire life. It is the start of the Hour of their retribution, by Allah. That is the beginning of the heaviest of all burdens to be borne by the hell bound; and no respite from, nor easing out of, nor delay of their punishment will ever be there for the rejecters. The Hour of questioning when each unjust would face the wrath of their God direct as to his ungrateful rejection and abuse of every good thing God had bestowed him with. The wrong doers would be placed on a steep precipice of his own pride from where he could neither move nor could he climb down except to fall to the abysmal depths of hell, the Sakar. He was contemptuous towards Quran all through his life for he could not find in it that would suit his vain desires; he hated, rejected and turned away from it - and became one of the proud; he dismissed Quran as void; and he proclaimed it to be just a figment of imagination by a man. Surely such are 'Sakar-bound'.
Sakar will neither spare nor overlook any of one's misdeeds and abuse, however small or big it could be; he would be in total wreck and an utter derangement.
The guards of the hell wouldl be malayika, the angels,19. As believers one shall believe Allah, The Lasting Day, the nineteen '19' angels guarding the Sakar hell, who shall never allow the dwellers of it escape the torment of fire.
O you who believe! save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones; over it are angels stern and strong, they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them, and do as they are commanded. 666

How to Read Quran
The languages are based on the things, events and the words of the past by which we shall understand nothing of tomorrow and upon which alone our lives exist. The rest of our lives is only tomorrow and we live only for the future; and we are not living in the present as it is already passing by; neither do we live in the past. Hence the dead past, and its knowledge, and its languages and their vocabularies are bygones, unfit for the future. Thus millions of libraries, billions of their books, and zillions of their readers are like dead and decomposing, and, until and unless they look up to the wisdom of the future, the ways of all walks of life are vanities.
There could be only One Book, the Book that reminds us of our conscience, the power of which connects us with the Creative power of the universe, The God. The God's Book, any Veda is The Book of God provided its language connects us to the language of mind, sense, conscience and The Creative Power. Any human language with its syntax and grammar application to understand Veda is farcical. Such linguistic approach towards Veda, makes them barbaric cannibals fit for hellish lives in all the worlds.
If one's heart is for Quran, shun the scholars of arabic and their dumb application of the arabic language and its physical grammar that lead to absolute misunderstanding messing up the past, the present and the future. But seek from the only Teacher, Allah, the All-Knowing, who shall convey His message to his mind and sense, for application of it in its pristine pure form throughout his practical life in both the worlds, by being with Him all the while.
