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

Why has Allah created heaven and the earth while He knows well who we are?
6.107 Had Allah willed they would not have called upon other than Him; We have not assigned you as protector over them; neither are you a guardian over them.
People generally have this question why has Allah created heaven and hell? And why has He created the good and the bad? And why did He give us the mind to choose? For all these questions the above verse is the clear answer for those who receive the discerning from Allah. To everyone if this ?one way? question is asked whether you want a much better and a more beautiful life or a heavenly life tomorrow, they would say Yes. On the other hand if they are asked if you want a much worse and more frustrating life tomorrow, they would say No. Again, when they are given to choose between hell and heaven, they would choose the heaven in a flash; and on the same lines their choice would go between the good and the bad. It is the ?bestowed-predisposition? by which Allah has set the mind that constantly pushes a man to the better and more beautiful life by the moment. Allah the creator of our lives always reminds us of this future which He has in store for us; and all that Allah wants us is to believe His words if we are truthful in our belief in Him. But we choose to disbelieve it; and with all our consciousness against The Conscience, we follow our despicably disgusting standards and means of our ?lifeless knowledge? to shape up our death ward and deadly future by our own hands, instead of the surrendering by will to the promised heavenly life, by Allah, the Creator - thus we, with our heights of pride, we claim that the future is in our hands, disclaiming and denouncing God, the Creator, the Enlivening. It is outright rejection of Allah while we know well; and hell is the abode of such people; Allah has left them to their doom without a protector, without a helper and without a guide - He has removed the discerning ability, the Furqaan from their Ruh; now their only question all their lives will be is, ?why has Allah created the heavens and the hell while He knows well we, the highest of creations, we, the humans will opt only for the hell rejecting against Allah?s Wish and Command that we should strive for the heaven, all our lives?? Such people form the majority population; if we are to sit with them discussing or arguing over this, then we will be of them 4/140.

Both You Muslims and Non Muslims!You Only Insult ME, ALLAH 6108
And insult not the God@ they call upon other than Allah lest they will insult Allah in enmity without a thought - thus We have made such deeds fair-seeming to every community; then their return is unto their God; then He will inform them of what they used to do.
@ All people believe in the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, All Knowing - One Almighty Creator; such Attributes, and Many and Countless Attributes are there as His Names; If all Names are to be held altogether, and to be revered, The One Word is, ?Allah? - All Glory Be Unto Him. The Names of Allah are the individual attributes of who is termed as the ?Rubb? in Arabic or termed as ?The God? in the general tongue; the attributes of Allah, the Rubb is set as the Conscience in every soul; Rubb is always plural denoting all the endless names or the attributes of Allah which means the One God of all Rubb and there is No Rubb other than the Only Allah.
People in general fall into two categories one section believes in Allah without perceiving or knowing their Rubb i.e., Allah?s Attributes, the God?s; in other words they merely chant the word, ?Allah? without their conscience working for them; this means, they are idol worshiping the ?sound? of the word, Allah. So this section of the people cannot hear, though they have ears; cannot see though they have eyes; and cannot understand though they have the hearts, to follow the Words of Allah His Glad-tiding or His Warning! This section forms the Muslims at large. And there is this another section they believe in (the Names or the gods or the Rubb), a few or more of the Attributes of Allah, The One God - but have failed to bring all the ?Goodly-Attributes? together to bring into ?The Oneness? i.e., ?The invisible feel of Allah?. So they materially visualised the truthful attributes, made each of them into symbolic idols and conjured up multiple ?gods-beliefs? to each and every one of the endless Rubb, the Names of ?The One God?, thus felling themselves to Polytheism. They are failing to take the note attributes and qualities have no form or shape but it is ?The Feel? from their Conscience which is ?The Soul? of every human. When the idols are removed form their minds and absorb them all into the soul as feel, they are with the real God, Allah.
Conversely, the so called monotheistic muslims do not practice the attributes(the Names, or the gods, or the Rubb) of Allah in their daily life; neither do they value nor care for those attributes, the Rubb. Allah has many Names and call on Him by His Attributes, beautiful(7/180). For example, O Rubb, the Most Forgiving; O Rubb, The Most Gracious; O Rubb, the Most Merciful; O Rubb, the Most High; O Rubb, the Most Wise and so on. We are to call upon our Rubb thus, remembering His Name concerning to the specific glad or dire situation and we are not to associate partners to Him by calling upon the human being either to praise them or to seek for help and protection form them. The difference between the muslims or the non muslims is not much at all; both are associators except for their rebelliously steadfast points of views. Here is just one among the numerous example to show how Allah addresses Himself with One of His Rubb, Ar Rahman 21.42 Say "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from (the Wrath of) (Allah) Most Gracious?" Yet they turn away from the mention of their Rubb.? Allah calls Him not as Allah, in this context but as the Most Gracious, The Rubb. 22.77 ?O ye who believe! humble and surrender yourselves, and call upon your Rubb, God - and do good, that haply ye may prosper.? Here as believers in The Rubb, we call Him as to the context O The Most Wise, The Most High. Allah says, call Him by His Beautiful Names and leave them alone who are wrongfully neglectful.
Unfortunately we do not remember our Rubb, but simply call Allah without remembering His Names as our Rubb; In this way muslims in general neither worship Allah; nor do they revere their Rubb. And coming to the non muslims they have made their Rubb in to idols and fall a prey to their inventions. Muslims and non Muslims are not on different platforms but on one and the same.
In 6.108 Allah puts both these groups together as one and the same and says to them both do not insult others? Gods, for they are the names of Me, One Allah; they are idol worshiping the one or the other of the Names of Allah, the Rubb; if you do so, without a thought they would insult Allah as a whole, which means they inadvertently insult every name of Allah, calling evil names. Allah is Merciful upon both you parties; if you still insult their gods, their rubb, then know that you insult one or the other Names of Allah and for this I will make you ignorant of what you do; I have allowed this evil work fair seeming to all communities and will set you upon each other to meet your own catastrophe.

bravo
Also, it seems that many so called atheists are actually, in their atheism, rejecting and refusing the worship of sounds and idols, and rightly so. Unfortunately, many then conclude that there is no divine dimension. I suspect that those who worship sounds or idols actually confuse and distract people from looking for the reality below the radar. People are confused by the madness and hypocrisy of the sound and idol worshipers, and are as a result too quick to, erroneously, dismiss all things divine. The baby is out with the bathwater.

Salaam,
I would call those who are "atheists" (dislike the term) both succumbed to the world, and listened and become deluded by available no "higher power" arguments. Few actually think for themselves but follow the stream and their social environment will affect them.

In some aspects, atheists and religious people are sort of the same... one is deluded by "science" and one is deluded by religion. Science is not supposed to judge about things beyond its scope. Thermometers are not supposed to judge about the quality or poetry. Using science to disprove Divine Allness is like using the pH-level of an orange to prevent corruption in afflicted nations.
Science cannot be used to feel the aspects of Allah. Religion can however be used for the shutting of doors, locking of minds and blinding of vision. The religion of science and the religion of religion are two very stagnant and non-living things.
Sensing, experiencing and acting is what we should do. In this way, there is a possibility to grow and learn to see. Just look at the indoor plant in the pot in your window. It knows in what direction to turn. There is no doubt. It not only knows how to face the sun rays, but knowing and doing is the same. Knowing and doing is part of its being and expression. We humans though, refuse to turn to the Source, out of madness. We have made it so complicated for ourselves, when it could be the simplest thing in the world, the most natural thing. Reality is too simple for us to grasp easily.
Most people think they see, while they are blind. Perhaps me too. It's a struggle. The greatest of them all.

Salaam Zulf,
Regarding what you said about not being able to feel Allah through science. I think I have to disagree a little with you there. Science has helped me understand a lot on how the realm works. And then I speak of the dynamic functionality of the world. For example, quantum physics was helpful in understanding that the world is actually merely energy (or what to refer to it as). If you make an atom disintegrate (fission) or make a nuclei through fusion, what you gain is an energy discharge. This is how fission/fusion reactors work including the theorized cold-fusion reactor. Although I have heard of a new kind of engine which exhaust would be water (h2o) through a fusion of oxygen and hydrogen. The fusion would create a power surge.
Anyway, what is most interesting is the fact that fission or fusion would cause a discharge of energy. It shows the actual integrity of the atoms because if manipulated and thus disintegrated or joined they would show their charge. It is crazy such a power these phenomena cause.
That is why I would say science can make one believe in GOD. I became with faith through my own contemplation of the exisence rather than religious doctrines and then science played a big role in making me realize the fact there is a "higher power". Sadly people claim that you cannot combine faith and science, but I say you can. Science simply reveals the nature of GOD for the perceptive. I have never been very faithful to religious doctrines and their interpretations of texts and I sense now it has been rewarding. Being sceptical about every single bit of Quranic Arabic knowledge and interpretation was a clear advantage.
Sorry drfazl for polluting your thread with jinn knowledge. I would like nothing rather than being dissolved from the flesh. It is the signs of Allah that are intriguing.

Salam zulf, MoF
For us it is struggle, but to Allah it is easy; let us call upon our Rubb O The Most Easy, there is none to show us the path of Easiness save Thee. When we turn away from Allah,The Most Easy, there are Business everywhere in the process of which we become only busybodies invoking and worshiping all shaitans ante to every Name of Allah, our Rubb.
O Allah, The Most Easy, guide us in the Path of Easiness; not business of the misguided rotten people of the world.

Salam,
No Problem Man of Faith; there are good Muslim jinns who also belong to us and we good Muslims belong to them. Salam to all of them. Whichever direction or discipline or the science you turn to, there is the Sign of Allah 2/115; some has to go through a struggle to finally find the easy path; some get into the easy path straight away; there is not one direction but countless. To cite, Atheism is the best direction to reach the path of God.
There is no pollution here, MoF; not at all.

The strength with the scientific method is that it is evidence based. This is how you deduct reality. Unfortunately, people use science to promote their own opinions. They extrapolate and say things that science actually doesn't say.
Science and Divinity are not in disagreement with each other. However, Religion and science may very much be in disagreement with each other, because Religion can be anything you want. Religion and Divinity may also be in disagreement with each other. Religion is often fables.
Science never negates Divinity. Some people may be convinced by science about Divinity, while others will never be convinced, by anything.

Scientific evidence only satisfies either one or the other of the five special organs such as eyes, nose, ears, mouth and skin of man but cannot provide its evidence even to all of them let alone if the scientific evidence pleases the live senses of each of those organs; Divinity lies in the Signs of Allah as it creates life and produces liveliness. On the same lines science is akin to the 'material-religion' of ritual worshiping gymnastics without life and liveliness and thus both science and religions are deadly. The Signs create righteousness in you and makes you wholesomely a sensible man.
The important difference between "Sign of Allah" and the 'science of man' is that one has life in it e.g all the creations of God; whereas man's invention is lifeless and are already decomposed decays even at its conceptual stages. Sign is total and wholesome, while the science has to evolve through the millenniums and 'zillenniums' yet, they cannot catch up with the life source. They are dead and false. Science never negates divinity for it accepts and has to accept in the end its worthlessness before the creative strength of the Signs of Allah.

Cannot hunt in the land But lawful to hunt in the sea
5.96It is made lawful to you to hunt in the sea that which is useful to you and the voyagers; and to eat thereof. But it is unlawful to you to hunt on the land at times when you seek purity to your soul; so fear Allah; and unto Him you will be gathered.
What is the difference between hunting in the sea and hunting in the land; hunting in the sea is allowed and lawful because you and the voyagers on the ship are on a journey to the distant land far away from your homes; your voyager ship shall have rooms for storage of the foods only to contain in just amounts; and the sea is ninety percent more enormous than land and its depth and vastness is incalculable; Allah has graced the sea with such bounties that however much you hunt in it, you cannot pump the sea dry but retire yourself, tired. It is allowed for you to hunt in the sea but unlawful it is to hunt on the land which produces the foods fairly, and justly, and freshly and seasonally - and in bountiful measures for all the people in the world by the command of Allah; one cannot plunder in the land and deprive the rest of the people of their righteous bounties of the land through hunting and squandering - especially when you seek purity to your soul from Allah, in His path.

Follow Not Mullahs and MoulvisLest we become pagans
7.3 Follow that which is revealed to you from your God; and do not follow any guide@ other than He; very little do you reflect.
@ When it comes to following God and His Book, follow only that which is very clear to your conscience as Revelation of the Truth while in contemplation and introspection; this is the Guidance from the God, direct. This is God?s Way - for only God can teach you His Way; if any one associates allies to God and follows other than Him, they are the polytheists and pagans. Unfortunately very little understand this Guidance while most of them follow their priesthood and their forefathers, thus straying away from their God?s path.

Quite on the contrary... neither science, not religion is deadly.
Science provides a methodical approach to study and analyze what we can observe; while religion provides a methodical approach to keep us reminded to have faith in the unobservable. They are complementary to each other. Together they give us the ability to explore the heavens while keeping our feet firmly on the ground.
Deadly is our greed, envy, lust and pride... which provoke us to make the science and religion an excuse to be unfaithful to our God gifted senses of right and wrong.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Salam Arman,
If only we use the God gifted sense of appreciation of the right and the wrong, we can definitely differentiate and distinguish between the Signs of Allah and the science of man.

You can follow a person with spiritual insight. It is just that you must choose this person wisely
If he asks you to follow a religion, strange Pagan practices and/or something materialistic it is not the right inspirational source.
I mean, drfazl deems that his view of Quran and the ALLAH phenomenon to be right and tells people to follow him. He would contradict himself if he says no guide can be followed since he tries to guide people into what they should do. Avoid Modern Medicine etc.
But you have to consider very carefully what it is you follow.

I have not been preaching anyone; nor have I been airing out my point of opinion from any remote understanding but that I am citing example of my own how believing in the Signs of Allah above anything else makes one strengthen his insight and broaden his scope to live his moments beyond all science of man. I am stressing and ascertaining the Truth from my living that the Signs of Allah and the Guidance of the Quran is True and there is no human efforts to match it at any given point of time. Again, I am not preaching anyone here for preaching is that which one speaks out as good things when he himself cannot practice it.

Salaam,
I think your idea of preaching is a bit preconceived. You can teach and also practice what you say even if it happens to be a rare phenomenon among sectarians. Spiritual teachers such as (Isa) did so. Nothing wrong in being a spiritual guide, if you are up to the task and do not merely speak out of own selfishness. One has to be one with ALLAH to do it successfully which means to do as you teach.
You inform people relatively often on this forum and in ways you are trying to teach people, so you do it as well. It is a kind of preacher.
People who are here on this forum and voice their opinions regarding various matters are directly or indirectly preaching, even if it is not their intention. Just airing your opinion in a clearly opinionated way shows preaching. If you are here, promote an idea and seek to make people accept the proposal, then you are indeed preaching.
The question is instead who is a good vs. bad preacher, i.e. voices information, or disinformation even though it might be unintentionally.
Salaam

Salam,
I believe in Allah alone even to guide the people for, Allah guides whom He is pleased with; those who believe in all humility there is always one above every 'knower' come under the grace and guidance of Allah (12/76 but over every possessor of knowledge is one knowing). Stand as an inspiration by your living, by the leave of Allah and then speak of what you do and of your own example is what Quran prescribes. Quran does not speak about preaching but doing by Allah's leave. From the perspective of Quran I believe in Prophethood and Messengership - but not in priesthood. I will not banish myself by being a preacher.

Beware of the Chosen People for the Book
7.52 Surely We gave them the Book@; We have revealed it with insightful discernment - a guidance and grace for those who believe.
@ We gave ?them the Book? - who are ?them? here refers to is those 7/48,49 who were given the Book as guidance and grace from Allah and who nevertheless did find themselves in hell. The Book is meant to have their wisdom strengthened through the insight, discernment and revelation therein. But they took the verses of the Book for jest 4/140 and for vain arguments 6/68, treating its verses with their false, prideful worldly knowledge, mostly tending toward the freakish, delusive atmosphere. Such is the plight of certain of the chosen people 7/169; 42/14 whom Allah has identified in Quran. Today such people swarming around us are the self-styled religious scholars, the clergies, the spurious leaders of various religious doctrines. They give out ?fatwas? in this world and for the next world, denying and belying the Truth that to Allah belongs the Last Day and to Him is the Hour of judgment.
