    Beyond Religion -> Sunnatullah

    Say, "O disbelievers,

    I do not worship what you worship <- Prostrate to God Alone, accordingly, any god/religion.
    Nor are you worshippers of what I worship <- Prostrate to Allah & Adam (Humanity), Sunnatullah.

    Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship <- Religious People & God Alone Concept.
    Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship <- Upright man (Muslim) - Unity, regardless of religion etc.

    For you is your deen <- Religion - Right or wrong - Fire Element - Sectarianism.
    and for me is my deen <- Deen - Unity - Sunnatullah - Justly balanced - Fire/Earth/Air/Water.

    Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion. So as Muhammad, not a Jew/Christian (religion).
    nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
    but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
    a Muslim <- defined by the above ayat - an upright man - obedience and justly balanced.
    and he was not one of the polytheists <- Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

    Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim
    are those
    who followed him
    and this Prophet
    and those who believe
    and Allah is the guardian of the believers
    (367-6

    And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 other than Islam <- Religion of Islam vs. Deen of Islam
    it will NEVER be accepted of him
    and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers
    (385)

    The Qur'an confirms other books, including hadith and other religious or man made books etc.

      These words (label) may be removed from the Muslim's minds ...

      Right Wrong

      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png Replace with http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png

      Justly balanced Unjust
      (maslahat = mudharat) (maslahat alone or mudharat alone)
      (to all living creatures) (for any selected sects or group of peoples)

      to humanity / living creatures

      (regardless of religion, sects, race or ethnic origin, belief, age etc.)

      From the above, we can see that the Qur'an teaches us how to balance and achieve justice ..

      It is the "Ihdina assirata almustaqeem" (16); "..and you become three kinds.." (567)

      Why it is about balance and just?

      Because ...

      We cannot change to what is right (just) in the fire element. -> unjust to the air, water and earth.
      We cannot change to what is right (just) in the air element. -> unjust to the fire, water and earth.
      We cannot change to what is right (just) in the water element. -> unjust to the fire, air and earth.
      We cannot change to what is right (just) in the earth element. -> unjust to the fire, air and water.
      We cannot change to what is right (just) in all these elements.
      We cannot change what is wrong (unjust) in all these elements.

      However, we can balance the major and minor "right (just)" in all these elements.
      ie. right 1 + right 2 + right 3 + right 4 and so on...

      ...

      Can 0% or less than 50% wrong (unjust) be achieved?

      Nope, because all these elements exist in all living creatures.

      It is Sunnatullah, and Allah is The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604.

      Therefore, our real issue in life is why human are fighting each other and standing for what is right or wrong? (refer here)

      Our real issue in life is why not stand up for human unity, based on what is just and balance?

        Here is a wild suggestion.

        How to incorporate the Qur'an into any countries or laws?

        1. Forget about Islamic labels or identities (favorite issues to the Mushrikeen - sectarianism), and do not mention or represent the "religion" of Islam. Islam is not a religion. Focus on what is prohibited in the Qur'an and deals publicly with the question of how to improve the way of life (deen) of all human beings / living creatures.

        2. List all the "DO NOT" in the Qur'an.

        3. Study all religious texts and list all the "DO NOT" in their texts - named it whatever you like - eg. One World Religion Act, Humanitarian Acts etc. Avoid any Islamic names or identities.

        4. Study and master the rule in the "common laws and equity", and any other man-made laws. They cannot reject what is just to human beings, and especially, what come from the man made laws and their religious texts.

        5. Compare the "DO NOT" lists from both the Qur'an and their religious texts.

        6. List out all the "DO NOT" which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an.

        7. List out all the rules of equity or laws which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an (the "DO NOT" list).

        8. Prepare the draft bill/argument/debate to Parliament - or write books - or as a draft agreement between NGOs - or build website giving free draft agreements etc.

        9. Enacted as laws (not necessarily named as Islamic laws - the name is not important - avoid anything Islamic).

        The strategy can also be applied to any company or society constitution etc.

        Important institution = NGOs related to the research of laws and humanitarian etc.

        Peace.

        It is preferable for the objective to be related with something not causing "mudharat" (harm) to self, others and all living creatures; and according to their faith.

        The priority between .. "prohibition" vs. "command".

        What is "prohibited" (prevention/protection/preservation/justly balanced to human beings) should be given priority over what is commanded by Allah (compulsion to other religions or disbelievers, raise resistance).

        They said
        "Will You place upon it one
        who causes corruption therein <- mudharat
        and sheds blood
        while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?"
        (230)

        So there is no "to promote" in the objective, but "to prevent" (deen, dayn, debt, duty not to cause mudharat, duty to protect).

        they will be shown to you

          For you is your deen <- Sectarianism - based on "religion" etc. - a bigot - God alone concept
          and for me is my deen <- Human Unity - based on "deen" - righteousness - fairness
          (109)

          Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion, so as Muhammad. Nonsectarian.
          nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
          but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way

          and he was not one of the polytheists <- Sectarianism
          (367-6 Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

          Comparison (refer here)

          Hasty generalization <- sectarianism, religion, bigotry

          Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for A (unjust).
          Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for B (unjust).
          Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for C (unjust).
          Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for D (unjust).

          Therefore...

          Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for
          E (way of life - deen)
          F (way of life - deen)
          G (way of life - deen), etc.

          and..

          What about that is justly balanced in the Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc ?

          Sectarianism, according to one definition, is bigotry, discrimination, or hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group, such as between different denominations of a religion, class, regional or factions of a political movement.

          The ideological underpinnings of attitudes and behaviours labelled as sectarian are extraordinarily varied. Members of a religious or political group may believe that their own salvation, or the success of their particular objectives, requires aggressively seeking converts from other groups; adherents of a given faction may believe that for the achievement of their own political or religious project their internal opponents must be converted or purged.

          Sometimes a group that is under economic or political pressure will kill or attack members of another group which it regards as responsible for its own decline. It may also more rigidly define the definition of "orthodox" belief within its particular group or organisation, and expel or excommunicate those who do not support this newfound clarified definition of political or religious 'orthodoxy'. In other cases, dissenters from this orthodoxy will secede from the orthodox organisation and proclaim themselves as practitioners of a reformed belief system, or holders of a perceived former orthodoxy. At other times, sectarianism may be the expression of a group's nationalistic or cultural ambitions, or exploited by demagogues; Wikipedia

          Sectarianism is
          bigotry
          discrimination
          or hatred

          arising from
          attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group
          such as between different denominations of
          a religion
          class
          regional
          or factions of a political movement

          Bigotry is

          the state of mind of a bigot

          someone who
          as a result of their prejudices
          treats other people with
          fear
          distrust
          hatred
          contempt
          or intolerance

          on the basis of a person's
          ethnicity
          religion
          national origin
          gender
          sexual orientation
          disability
          socioeconomic status
          or other characteristics

          A bigot is

          a prejudiced person
          who is intolerant
          of any opinions
          differing from their own

          or intolerant of people
          of different
          political views
          ethnicity
          race
          class
          religion
          profession
          sexuality
          or gender

          The origin of the word bigot and bigoterie (bigotry) in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". This meaning still survives in Italian, in the cognate word bigotto. The exact origin of the word is unknown, but it may have come from the German bei and Gott, or the English by God; Online Etymology Dictionary; see also Nobody wants to be called a bigot

          Discrimination is

          the prejudicial
          and/or distinguishing treatment of an individual

          based on their
          actual or perceived membership
          in a certain group or category
          "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated"

          Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
          is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced; ie. fairness vs. a bigot

          And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 other than Islam
          it will NEVER be accepted of him
          and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers

            Can a sectarian be a successor or a Khalif?

            Can a sectarian (a bigot) be a judge to other/all human beings?

            Indeed, We have revealed to you
            the Book in truth
            so you may judge between the people <- purpose of the Qur'an
            by that which Allah has shown you
            And do not be for the deceitful an advocate
            (4105)

            Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts
            to whom they are due <- all human beings, including all living creatures
            and when you judge between people
            to judge with justice
            Excellent is that which Allah instructs you
            Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing
            (458)

                    Why Allah guides the prostitute to the straight path?

                    Why Allah guides the thief to the straight path?

                    Why Allah lead astray the Ulemas?

                    What really matters to Allah?

                    What is Allah like to see from us?

                      1 Being absolutely right for the level of 1 year old baby <-- limited by our senses, abilities etc.

                      Similarly, this can be applied to certain life conditions, psychological backgrounds, personal traits, ethnic, educational backgrounds, and etc. These are all variables, and the overall consequences are the Sunnatullah, Absolute Justice.

                      Therefore, does it really matter of being right or wrong?

                      Does the above pattern of being right or wrong really matters to Allah?

                      What about those who live 1,000 years ago, where there is no proper educational system, or where people unable to read the Qur'an? Can they survive and become a real Muslim? Can we apply the same concept of right or wrong?

                      What is the actual standard to become a Muslim?

                      there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                      http//s14.postimg.org/tp4not4vl/glasses.png

                      There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                        For example, how can anyone expect to be free from this Shirk?

                        If we based on the concept of right or wrong, then no one would ever survive (without the help of Allah)...

                        And set forth to them a parable of two men
                        for one of them We made two gardens of grape vines
                        and We surrounded them both with palms
                        and in the midst of them We made cornfields

                        Both these gardens yielded their fruits
                        and failed not aught thereof
                        and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst

                        And he possessed much wealth

                        so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him

                        I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers <- Shirk? This is what most people
                        https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif would say. Greater wealth,
                        And he entered his garden https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif knowledge, skills, family etc.
                        while he was unjust to himself, He said <- On the issue of justly balanced within ourselves.
                        I do not think that this will ever perish <- This is also what most people would say.
                        And I do not think the hour will come i.e. not come within the next few hours, days, years etc.
                        and even if I am returned to my Lord <- Same, and most people believe they will be in Paradise.
                        I will most certainly find a returning place better than this Proof that he believe in Allah and the
                        Hour will come, but not in his lifetime.
                        His companion said to him while disputing with him

                        Do you disbelieve in Him <- Shirk?
                        Who created you from dust
                        then from a small seed
                        then He made you a perfect man?

                        But as for me
                        He, Allah, is my Lord
                        and I do not associate anyone with my Lord <- Who is "anyone" in this story context? Self?

                          And you become three kinds

                          Then the companions of the right <- just
                          what are the companions of the right?

                          And the companions of the left <- unjust
                          what are the companions of the left?

                          And the forerunners, the forerunners <- justly balanced (Sunnatullah -> just + unjust)
                          Those are the ones brought near

                            In the name of Allah

                            the Beneficent
                            the Merciful

                            All praise <- What for?
                            is due to Allah <- Deen, dayn, debt, due

                            the Lord of the Worlds <- Does human beings really witness this? How many?

                            The Beneficent
                            the Merciful

                            Master of the Day of Judgment

                            Thee do we serve <- serve comes first (obedience), only then eligible for help
                            and Thee do we beseech for help

                            Keep us <- Is there really a free will? Or influence on our free will?
                            on the right path <- Who hold the key to the right path?
                            The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors
                            Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down
                            nor of those who go astray

                              100% 0% 0% -> Muslim -> -100 <- Faith equal to "Love Monkey"=No faith!

                              http//s22.postimg.org/zaua8dhr1/monkey.png

                              Proof that there is no faith... not yet.

                              The test.

                              Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                              By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                              until you spend (benevolently)
                              out of what you love
                              and whatever thing you spend
                              Allah surely knows it
                              (392)

                              And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
                              Say What you can spare
                              Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
                              that you may ponder
                              (2219)

                              Who can sadaqa all his property for Allah?

                              Try practicing this for 7 continuous years without failed.

                              Do you feel worry?

                              Hard to accept?

                              If yes, then there is no faith.

                              It is quite simple.

                              The believers
                              are only <- exclusionary principle and the definition of believers
                              the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger
                              and then doubt not
                              but strive with their properties
                              and their lives
                              in the cause of Allah
                              It is those who are the truthful.
                              (4915)

                              Unquestionably, the allies of Allah
                              there will be no fear concerning them
                              nor will they grieve
                              (1062-64)

                              Do the people think
                              that they will be left to say,
                              "We believe"
                              and they will not be tried?

                              There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                                there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                                What really matters to Allah?

                                What is Allah like to see from us?

                                The struggling and going is the goal, and it doesn't matter where we start (or end), as long as we start somewhere and keep on improving our life and strengthening our faith.

                                The actual requirement in the Qur'an is for human beings to learn, understand, and reform continuously for the better (istiqamah - changes from within ourselves comes first - roots of a tree).

                                It is the process of understanding that matter, not the end results (comparison - how can one expect to be free from shirk within a short period of time? Impossible!). Therefore it doesn't matter or less relevant to Islam if peoples wear Hijab or not, since it is not the real issue in Islam. In fact, it is the most irrelevant issue to the society (it is personal issue - 5105).

                                Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah
                                are the deaf and dumb
                                who do not use reason <- The importance of reason, and not becoming a robot (blind follower)
                                (822) (trees without roots - how long can it hold straight on the ground?)

                                And before it was the scripture of Moses
                                to lead and as a mercy

                                And this is a confirming Book
                                in an Arabic tongue
                                to warn those who have wronged
                                and as good tidings to the doers of good <- Is this the reality of our life? Is it true? If not, why?
                                Indeed, those who have said
                                "Our Lord is Allah"
                                and then remained on a right course
                                there will be no fear concerning them
                                nor will they grieve
                                (4612-13)

                                Do you not see
                                that ships sail through the sea
                                by the favor of Allah
                                that He may show you of His signs?
                                Indeed in that are signs
                                for everyone patient <- the standard or main requirements, patient and grateful
                                and grateful <- Alhamdu
                                (3131)

                                Indeed, Allah is with those
                                who fear Him
                                and those who are doers of good
                                (16128)

                                Those who believe
                                and do righteous good deeds

                                there is no sin on them
                                for what they ate

                                if they fear Allah
                                and believe
                                and do righteous good deeds

                                and again
                                fear Allah
                                and believe

                                and once again
                                fear Allah
                                and do good deeds

                                with Ihsan (perfection)

                                And Allah loves the good-doers
                                (593)

                                Except for those who repent
                                correct themselves
                                hold fast to Allah
                                and are sincere in their deen for Allah <- requires understanding
                                for those will be with the believers
                                And Allah is going to give the believers a great reward
                                (4146)

                                There is not upon the weak
                                or upon the ill
                                or upon those who do not find anything to spend any discomfort
                                when they are sincere
                                to Allah and His Messenger
                                There is not upon the doers of good any cause
                                And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
                                (991)

                                And cause not corruption upon the earth
                                after its reformation
                                And invoke Him in fear and aspiration
                                Indeed, the mercy of Allah
                                is near to the doers of good
                                (756)

                                Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward
                                of the doers of good
                                (9120)

                                    Depends on the Level of Shirk

                                    Those with "one heart" (no heart) will never commit Shirk
                                    Shirk or Faith requires "the right elements of" Iman and Amal to be presence
                                    Therefore
                                    Condition = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                    Similarly = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                    Iman + Amal = Shirk/Faith
                                    |
                                    And rely on Allah
                                    and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
                                    Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior.
                                    (333-4)

                                  The struggling and going is the goal, and it doesn't matter where we start (or end), as long as we start somewhere and keep on improving our life and strengthening our faith.

                                      The process of returning to Allah.

                                      Willingly (obedience) or unwillingly (disobedience) empty our heart to Allah

                                      The repentance accepted by Allah
                                      is only for those
                                      who do wrong
                                      in ignorance <- conditions for repentance - two conditions
                                      and then repent soon after
                                      It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness
                                      and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

                                      But repentance is not
                                      of those who
                                      do evil deeds <- conditions for repentance
                                      up until, when death comes to one of them, he says
                                      "Indeed, I have repented now,"
                                      or of those who die while they are disbelievers

                                      For them We have prepared a painful punishment

                                        What is reward and sin?

                                        tools to enter paradise and avoiding hell?

                                        It is obvious that we cannot avoid sin
                                        It is the unavoidable things in life..
                                        No matter how good we are ... how hard we try..
                                        We will always committing sins and shirk (eg. refer here)

                                        sin = dust

                                        http//s16.postimg.org/r0fyr5g51/dusty.png

                                        However, it is always easier to standing up for good deeds
                                        It is easier to become a righteous person
                                        It is something that are accomplishable

                                        reward = soap

                                        http//s18.postimg.org/c03hpnyw9/soap.png

                                        Therefore, the actual system (or the awwaliyah) of the Deen of Islam is not really about avoiding sin

                                        BUT it is more about becoming a righteous person

                                        It is about benefiting humanity and kindness to His creation

                                        Becoming humble and understand human beings and other living creatures...

                                        It is Allah who will purifies us from our sin and shirk, no one can <- main reason why we need Allah (al-Fatihah)
                                        and.. based on our good deeds and level of righteousness

                                        Therefore, our real objectives are becoming a righteous person, while striving hard and praying to Allah for forgiveness.

                                        Praying to Allah to show us the right path, and purify us from sins and shirk (since we can never avoids shirk).

                                        Prostrate to Adam!

                                        The relation between reward and sin .. which one is dominant in ourselves?

                                        benefiting humanity, or on the issue of "right and wrong in religion"?

                                        http//i40.tinypic.com/28slzs0.png

                                        avoiding sin = right/wrong = fire element

                                        ?Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.? (refer to al-Anfal22)

                                        It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil
                                        If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men
                                        the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui
