    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

            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?

              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?

                      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

                      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?

                        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)

                            |
                            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

                            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.

                              Transition from the first realm (womb)
                              (cutting umbilical cord - our path - bay'ah - to reconnect)
                              ie. the importance of blessings from our parents - duty)
                              http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                              http//s9.postimg.org/4t3bkmt5r/twohearts.png

                              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
                              (417-1

                              Transition from the first realm (womb)
                              (cutting umbilical cord - our path - bay'ah - to reconnect)
                              ie. the importance of blessings from our parents - duty)

                              And your Lord has commanded
                              that you shall not serve (any) but Him

                              and goodness to your parents
                              If either or both of them reach old age with you
                              say not to them "Ugh"
                              nor chide them
                              and speak to them a generous word
                              (1723)

                                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.

                                        (you spend)

                                        (they (should) spend)

                                        You can enlighten us with your understanding or perspectives.

                                        (29417)
                                        (truthful)

                                        Peace,

                                        Being truthful is not giving away to the poor some physical material say, money or other worldly things of pleasure. Before helping the poor with materials of this world, it is pertinent to know how to identify as to towards who Allah directs our charitable lives to turn to.

                                        Allah pins down the wrong doers and the transgressors with disease and poverty in order that they humble themselves before God and obey diligently His ordainment. The obedience that a believer shall truthfully observe and abide by is, to spend in the cause of Allah in richness and in poverty from whatever they possess when a righteous situation demands. Generally people will get angry at even normal household expenditures while in financial straitness; that is the testing point from Allah to see how they behave and how much they believe in Him that they would be justly recompensed in accordance with their patience; and He sees how much they remember the promise of Allah that for every good deed or endurance in the path of righteousness they would be endowed with a reward ten times more; and that it would be doubled and that it would grow in multiples thereof.

                                        Allah loves those who restrain their anger during the times of constraints because of their belief in the truth and loves those who pardon the people. They spend towards righteousness generously from their limited allowance without miserliness, only to please Allah. And Allah too is pleased with such of them and for them is His Grace and Providence. They shall neither worry nor grieve. Towards this end each one shall strive truthfully spending his life and stand as a model of inspiration unto others, to establish the Truth.

                                        3134 Who spend in the cause of Allah during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good.

                                        However Allah might show as proof to the people of the community, the steadfastness of the very truthful and enduring believers by testing them under His direct supervision. For others their plight might seem as a mighty and a grave situation indeed, but it is Him who made their situation seemed so easy in their minds until He made them tide over it, rewarding them a grand lasting victory. Allah is powerful over all things. Allah would make their whole life a charitable sign to others that the promise of Allah is true they would neither suffer worry nor would they grieve over the losses. To make so is easy for Allah.

                                        And the Living Sign of Allah's grace for others is the life of them who find it difficult to be liberal in the cause of Allah, yet unable to move about freely in the land. An ignorant one would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their sign. They do not ask people persistently. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it. 2273

                                        Spending our lives in the cause of Allah, each one proving a word from Him in this world to help believe the poor ignorant people, is the truthful poor due upon us, in this life.

                                          To a certain extent, the above conclusions might have some truth in it, but your explanation is deviating and does not explain the word "sadaqah" in the context of Sura (392) and (2219); i.e. our discussion.

                                          Further, being "truthful" is more about doing from what you understand about life and its relation to the Qur'an. There is no target for becoming a True Muslim, and there is no need for us to copy what other peoples are doing or follow some motivational books without understanding and experiencing its true meaning (including the Qur'an - refer to 625 and 5577-79).

                                          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.

                                          How a child can grow into an adult within 1 year?

                                          How to grow into timber trees from seeds within 24 hours?

                                          It is not the Sunnatullah and there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                                          Hijab is not the actual requirement in the Qur'an.

                                          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!).

                                          Life and our understanding is a process, and so as how we should live "our lives in the cause of Allah".

                                          It is a journey and there is "truthfulness" in every stage and situation of our life

                                          .. as long we keep on improving and strengthening our faith according to the Qur'an.

                                          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 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.

                                          Peace
