Finding God in the Brain

A DEITY FOR EVERYONE

You Choose

When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.

Types of Idols

Calf, statues as idols.
Worshipping other gods (is worshipping the devil).
Jesus as idol.
Jinns as idols
Yet, they set up beside GOD idols from among the jinns, though He is the One who created them. They even attribute to Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Be He glorified. He is the Most High, far above their claims.
Children as idols.
scientists as idols.
politicians as idols.
pseudo-science as idols
satan (directly) as idol
physical appearence as an idol
"Intercessors" as Idols. From the Quran, it is obvious - there is no intercession by anyone on the Day of Judgment.
Property as an idol.
The dead prophets, messengers and saints as idols.
God's servants as idols.
Ego as an idol.
This is a common form of idolatry. Most humans, because of their ego cannot bring themselves to worship God, nor can they make their opinion subordinate to God's opinion spelled out in the Quran because of their ego. If we disobey God and His messenger, we are committing idol worship even though there is no image in front of us. This is because we would be giving our opinion more importance than God's words.

Have you seen the one whose god is his own ego? Will you be his advocate?

Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, GOD sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by GOD? Would you not take heed?

Upholding religious Sources other than God's words, as an idol.
Religious leaders and scholars as idols.
Creating sects in religion is idol worship.
You shall submit to Him, reverence Him, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and - whatever you do - do not ever fall into idol worship. (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.
Dividing believers is idol worship.

Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!" GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers.

I submit to the One God, there is none beside him worthy of worship.

Peace hawkninetynine.

Idol worship? They deny they are taking on other gods! Why? Because of "arrogance"!

5123 By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is as true as the fact that you speak.? ( And hear and think and live?)

5148 And We made the earth habitable, ( We will not be able to escape to any other planet in this universe?) a perfect design.?

5151 Do not set up beside GOD any other god. ( Do not follow blindly made up religions/ ways?) I am sent by HIM to you as a manifest Warner.? ( Again, you should trust in GOD ALONE!)

5152 Consistently, when a messenger went to the previous generations they said? Magician or Crazy?.?

5153 Did they make an agreement with each other? ( To ridicule/prosecute GOD s messengers!) They are transgressors.?

5154 You may disregard them; You cannot be blamed.? ( Everyone is free to make their own decision!)

5155 And remind , for the reminder benefits the believers.? ( Remind them that GOD created them to test their loyalty to HIM?)

5158 GOD is the provider, the Possessor of all power, the SUPREME.?

5150 You shall escape to GOD. ( If you cannot escape anywhere else? and submit to HIM!) I am sent by HIM to you as a Manifest Warner! ( It is up to you now?)

There is no escape from God except back to Him.

I submit to the Lord of the universe.

Peace.

peace good logic,

You are correct, arrogance is the principle that causes aversion to submission.

When we said to the angels, "Fall prostrate before Adam," they fell prostrate, except Satan; he refused, was too arrogant, and a disbeliever.

He said, "Therefore, you must go down, for you are not to be arrogant here. Get out; you are debased."

Thanks for the reminder.

I used to wonder, when God addresses the Prophet, or somebody, or, when Angels say during narrative to someone "...your Lord"
for example
Do you not recognize the fact that GOD possesses the kingship of the heavens and the earth; that you have none besides GOD as your Lord and Master?
"GOD is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path." ... there are many more of course...
... I used to think that it might also refer to the part of God in us, which would probably reside in the brain or in the heart, or in the soul...

Really good question, we would have to disect your question.

Is this a start?

He is the One who perfected everything He created, and started the creation of the human from clay.

Then He continued his reproduction through a certain lowly liquid.

He shaped him and blew into him from His spirit. And He gave you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains; rarely are you thankful.

What is his spirit?

Peace

Spirit=spirit...

As Wittgenstein said, the things about which is impossible to speak, one should not speak about... (if I remember well...)

Peace GODsubmitter,

Understood, I certainly don't have the answer the question maybe somebody else does.

GOD AND STRESS

by Shahid Athar , M.D.
Stress is the most common aliment of modern age. It has been implicated in the causation of peptic ulcer disease, coronary heart disease, depression, auto immune disease, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer. In milder form it manifests in form of unrest, violence, at work, school and home. Common medical problems like tension headache, insomnia, and obesity are also attributed to unusual stress. None of us are free from stress but some deal with it better than others.

Stress results from the following factors

a. Fear of the unknown and trying to see through and control the destiny.
b. Losses in our life of people and things dear to us and our inability to recover those losses.
c. Inner conflict between our heart and mind between what is known to be the truth and our failure to accept it as truth. Acceptance of truth may require changing our habits and way of life which we may adhere to for some reason like pleasure, joys, taste, pride in race or heritage etc.

Let us examine how Quran deals with such situations.

Our losses are a trial for us

"Be sure we will test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives, but give glad tidings to those who are steadfast, who say when afflicted with calamity To God we belong and to him is our return. They are those on who (DESCEND) blessings from God and mercy and they are the once that receive guidance. 2155

Thus in Islam, we do not have concept of the ownership of goods and life. Everything belongs to God and returns to him. So if we don't own that thing why mourn our loss?

a. Our destiny is predetermined. We do not have control on that part. What we have control over is a limited free will, that is our actions, our choice to do good or bad, to believe in God or not to believe in Him, but we have no control over tomorrow's event not related to our actions i.e. whether my wife will have a son or daughter, whether his/her eyes will be brown or black, or whether I will have an accident or not tomorrow. Worrying over such things is of no use.

If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his Creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.

Peace
