    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).

    Paradise

    Minimum Level for Unity in the Society (Foundation)
    (Acceptable by all living creatures as justly balanced - Unity - Society will improve from this level)
    No compromise
    |
    Hell

    O you who have believed
    DO NOT ASK about things
    which if they are shown to you
    will distress you <- Things that will cause resistance in the society. No unity! Mission failed!
    But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed
    they will be shown to you
    Allah has pardoned that which is past
    and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing <- It doesn't matter right or wrong, Allah will forgive!

      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
      a Muslim <- Muslim = an upright man - a Muslim is defined by the above ayat
      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 the matrix?

            Qur'an as the Confirming Book

            Look for similarities to unite the society

            Words (label) to be removed from the mind of any Muslim

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

            Islamic Constitution

              For the purpose of description and easy understanding on our current level of faith...

              Philosophy on the level of understanding/obedience to the Qur'an

              Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN

              Such has been the course of Allah that has indeed run before

              And We said O Adam!

              and eat from it a plenteous (food) wherever you wish
              and DO NOT approach this tree <- an example of the "DO NOT" prohibition (unintentionally).
              for then you will be of the unjust
              But the Shaitan made them both fall from it
              and caused them to depart from that (state) in which they were
              and We said Get forth, some of you being the enemies of others

              And (as for) those
              who reject Our communications <- the "DO NOT" prohibition
              and turn away from them haughtily
              these are the inmates of the fire

              They were touched by poverty
              and hardship
              and were shaken

              and those who believed with him said

              Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near

              And when they meet those who believe, they say
              We believe
              and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say
              Surely we are with you, we were only mocking <- it means intentional disobedience, the "DO NOT"
              Allah shall pay them back their mockery Munafiqoon (disobey silently)
              and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy Mushrikeen (disobey openly)

                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.

                  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

                          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.

                                  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

                                  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

                                        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)

                                        What is Sadaqah?
                                        Is it physical material?
                                        Or being faithfully Truthful for the purpose of Allah?

                                        Peace

                                          As per my current understanding it is something related to what we spend on the path of Allah.
