    Don't we agree that we are in this controlled environment just like in a testing ground to see who is the best.
    When scientist make an experiment they don't interfere until the experiment is over right ?

    This can explain then why so much horror happens on this planet. Rape, Murder, Loss of health and etc.
    Just look at the animal kingdom. Everything is made to consume each other. Dont you think is interesting ?

    There are animals designed in a way where they HAVE to kill another animal to get energy for survival.
    Dont you think this design is interesting. So to be able to prolong its days on this Earth the animal has to murder the other animal?
    As the batman movies say "You die a hero or live long enough to become the villain"

    Salaam/Peace Hansolo,

    first of all, our Lord AL-LAH clearly and unmistakably teaches us that
    "the life and social behavior & interaction of animals" and "the life and social behavior & interaction of Humans" MUST be totally different,
    we should NEVER imitate the animal kingdom, in this respect, at all.

    Because this is the whole purpose of "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" here

    QURAN TESTAMENT 2/30 = 6/133 = 71/13-14 = 76/1

    that we have thus physically/mentally/intellectually Evolved by the Immense Grace of AL-LAH unto us
    and thereby now have the full capacity/understanding/ability to fight against all "animalistic instincts"
    that may still be remnant in all of us,

    and thus when/if we totally cleanse our selves/souls (=nafs) here from all "animalistic instincts,"
    we may thus be physically/mentally/intellectually Perfect Human Servants of AL-LAH, forever.

    =QURAN TESTAMENT 12/53 = 91/7-8-9 = 95/4-6 = 75/3-4 = 36/54-58

    But if we do not fight against all "animalistic instincts" that may still be remnant in all of us,
    and do not totally cleanse our selves/souls (=nafs) here from all such "animalistic instincts," we may have to be among
    such utterly condemned Humans then, forever,
    here

    ==========
    179- We have committed to Hell --(when/if they insist on their ignorance and arrogance till the last breath of their normal life here 4/17-1--
    many of the Jinns and the Humans;

    (because) they have hearts with which they do not want to understand (the Word of AL-LAH),
    and they have eyes with which they do not want to see (the Word of AL-LAH),
    and they have ears with which they do not want to hear (the Word of AL-LAH).

    (Consequently), they are like animals (=i.e. essentially living by their animalistic instincts; eating and drinking like pigs,
    or beating up and raping others like monkeys, or entrapping and robbing others like serpents and jackals, etc.),
    indeed, they are (thus) most Astray.

    (Because) these are the ones (who choose to remain totally) Indifferent/Unaware (of the Word of AL-LAH). (=10/7-8 & 30/52-53)

    QURAN TESTAMENT 7/179

    And on the other hand, we should also never forget that

    =================
    38- And there is not a "dabbat" (i.e. =every "creature, including all animals&quot on the earth, nor a "bird" that flies with its wings,

    but all of them are Congregations that are --(specifically, with regard to their biological/genetic design here)-- similar/same as you (=amthalukum).
    We did not leave anything out of the Scripture; then to their LORD they will be gathered.

    QURAN TESTAMENT 6/38

    119- .... And the Word of your LORD has thus been issued
    I will fill Hell --(when/if they insist on their ignorance and arrogance till the last breath of their normal life here 4/17-1--
    with Jinns and Humans, all together!

    QURAN TESTAMENT 11/119

    So, thereby we may clearly understand that

    --(because of their sins before coming to this World here)-- after they have to live and die in this Worldly Test (=i.e. Jungle) here
    all "dabbat" i.e. =all animals (=i.e. lions, tigers, horses, mules, pigs, monkeys, serpents, jackals .................. etc. therein
    and all "birds&quot will Not be requited in the Hereafter for their animalistic behaviors here --(because they did not have
    intellectual/mental capacity to understand and observe the Word of AL-LAH here)--

    so, all of them will thus be forgiven and gathered by our Lord AL-LAH

    in Paradise, in total Serenity/Peace/Security therein, forever,

    because Hell will be filled --(here in this case again now =22/72 & 85/4-10 & 4/17-18 & .......)--
    only with Jinns and Humans, all together,

    as clearly emphasized in the above Verses.

    Remain in peace/salaam.

      This is something that we indeed need to reflect on very much because succumbing to Satan is easily missed by oneself.

      List of points that reflect Satan in humans

      1. Follow/imitate others
      2. Materialism (gatherer = animalistic behavior)
      3. Imagination (when it comes forth superstition against logic)
      4. Go with the flow (lack of contemplation due to absorption into this word)
      5. Self-centricsm
      6. Violent/aggressive behavior or finding violence entertaining
      7. Sexual preoccupation
      8. Greed
      9. Fear
      10. Jealousy

      All of this together makes us forget our true purpose.

      Be well

          And the true purpose is...? muscle

          The true purpose is 'to be'. Gain independence within "God" rather than a mindless slave by Being One. The only way to that is by pursuing spirituality (the Spirit seed of your Nafs in order to grow) and rejecting the bodily.

          Like Shakespeare said "To be or not to be is the question". Strengthen your being, tell yourself to do be confident (amenuwa). Strive hard to be cognizant of who you are. If you grow that awareness then you will also feel your origin and not only merely believe and it only takes finding yourself. If you find yourself you will also find your origin and then you will be a part of it. That is to be reborn while you are born, the only way to escape (salvation) is to be born twice in a lifetime, and only the witted will understand what I am writing. And that is because your body is a host to a seed of another origin, but it takes cultivating the seed and soundly take care of it and not be deluded this world is something for you or that the afterlife has any resemblance to this.

          There was once a wise man who said that this seed is like a mustard seed, the smallest of seeds yet it becomes the most amazing tree. One has to understand that parable in order to understand its meaning. But since I was determined to put it black on white for once in history, it refers to that the spirit if undeveloped is minuscule like almost non-existent, but if it is soundly tended then the spirit will see no boundaries. Most Nafs's are like seeds who land on the ground but never grow because they choke due to weeds like thistles and the weeds choke the meager little seed and its cultivation so that it never expands. In the parable, the bodily (what is in the world) is the weeds and other obstacles and have always been in this parable, but I tell you now. Those hamper the spirit from development and will keep the seed like the minuscule seed it is and it will fade away eventually in lack of development and because the seed is degraded in time. The same soil will host several cycles "of other plants" (the useless plants which do not more than hamper the development of the seed) during the degradation. Life itself is a parable and is clear from who takes pleasure from it all and the bodies were made for evaluation and sifting and so the final delivery is delayed so to allow everyone that will bear fruit and so does not the one whose quality is absent in the produce (extract taken from Quran - the real interpretation of).

            And you can learn a great deal from the Jedi in the fictitious Star Wars. They tell that you should focus on the Force (Spirit) while channeling away the external world, and it is basically what you are to do in reality. You must avoid everything negative that comes from the bodily you. You should NOT strive for

            Domination
            Hierarchy (because you are one with the Force (Spirit) and those unfeeling and feeling of the Force)
            Recognition
            Greed
            Materialism
            Jealousy
            Passion
            Egoism
            Anger
            Hatred
            Revenge
            Punishment

            And you should not listen to your emotions but listen to the Force (Spirit) that flows through you. Everything of your emotions is biologically generated and must be controlled logically. Clarity of mind, your mind must not be clouded by the dark, all the emotions and the bodily impulses will lead to the dark side.

            That is a philosophical analysis of the Star Wars saga. The Angels/Controllers of the world made this motion picture to be a channel of insight. Basically everything it says is accurate on how the world works and what leads to disaster. Remove the effects and entertainment with things that could be possible "by a matter of Being". The aim for a Jedi is very close to what a Man or Woman of Faith has to accomplish, tranquility of mind and its purification. This will expand the mind to endless levels.

            Ya-Dal-Ya = (Jedi ) ) to touch, aid, do good, be beneficent, show power and superiority, a hand. By his agency/means.
            With a willing hand, out of hand, having financial ability.
            In acknowledgement of the superior power, in ready money and not in the form of deferred payment, considering it as a favour, on account of help, (payment should be made by the hand of the parties themselves without the intervention of a third party and without reluctance.
            baina yadaihi - before him, in his presence hit, between his two hands.
            ulill aidi - men of power (lit. gifted with hands)
            suqaita fi aidihim (idiomatic expression) they repented, the idea seems to be that they hit their fingers in grief and contrition.
            Handy, Might, Power, Superiority, Benefit, Possession, Favour, Generosity. The idea behind those expressions is that the (way of) use of the hand is the real source of the superiority and power. Under his authority, upper hand, arm, foreleg of a beast, handle of a tool, wing of a bird.
            ma qaddamat yada - that is what thou hast deserved.

            I inserted words within some of the parentheses. It is quite interesting that they are called Jedi in Star Wars and have so much in common with this Arabic word. Like with everything "God" is expressed in what we do, knowingly or unknowingly, but it is better to be independent and thus aware of one's participation and share.

              Yup that's how the ancient israelite's cosmology looks like..
              I give the wonderfully drawn illustration below which fits perfectly with your description..

              http//wp.patheos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/files/2012/11/Ancient-Hebrew-view-of-universe.png

              And that narrow path, labeled the "Gate of Heaven" is well guarded by Angels, the Devil commonly uses that narrow path to sneak into the heaven and ear drop the ongoing discussion in "Heavenly Conference". The angels uses the stars as missiles / projectile to drive away the Devil..

              1516-18
              It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders; And (moreover) We have guarded them from every evil spirit accursed But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).

              376-10
              We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side, Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty, Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.

              675
              And we have, adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

              728-9
              (Demons are speaking)'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. 'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.

              Reminds me of this article
              http//quran-mystery.blogspot.nl/2015/12/quran-speaks-about-firmament-of-heavens.html

              And the following documentaries

                132 God, Who raised the skies without any pillars that you can see

                3110 He created the skies without pillars that you can see

                i think ancient people who created the maps and images like this. they forget the verses like this... otherwise they will never claim things like that... confused

                  My humble understanding of the Quran says that Life is a short distraction to see who will follow the way of God... i.e Reconize the Unity of God and do good in life while putting your trust in God alone, ask forgiveness (because you might sin), repent, enjoy what you've been given in this life (even if it's a short distraction), be thankful etc...

                  This though doesn't seem very pretty, or "spiritual"... just bunch of to-do's...but I believe It is the way to gaining spiritual growth. Because spiritual growth isn't gained by knowledge or philosophy or reading all sort of texts or arguing over lexicons. It is gained by commitment and patience and remembrance of God.

                  Thus, you allow God's light in your Heart.

                  P.S Hansolo, if you read this, please understand that gaining spiritual growth won't happen by watching youtube videos or reading all sort of crap around the internet. At the end of the day, you still face your devils and I'm sure you do, and that is the true challenge of life. Do not fool yourself and think you can "obtain" spiritual growth the way you obtain "knowledge".

                    An English translation of the Quran - 2255 God, there is no god except He, the Living, the Sustainer. No slumber or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who will intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His Throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the Most High, the Great.

                      We should not enjoy what we have been given in this world. It has been given to us as a deceptive trial and the one who can abstain is strong-minded.

                        The water you shower with, the cold wind touching your skin, the sky, the smell of fresh air, the peacefulness of the morning and night, the safety, the sanity, the knowledge, the physical abilities, a good talk with a loved one, tasty food in a warm room...

                        I do enjoy these things. Many enjoyable things, if enjoyed without considering God, may lead to deception.

                        Though, We still enjoy what is naturally enjoyable. Always in the context of the life test.

                          Greetings and Peace, all group

                          832 Say "Who has made forbidden the nice things that GOD has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?" Say "They are meant for those who believe during this worldly life, and they will be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection." It is such that We explain the revelations for those who know.

                          ALLAH knows best.

                          peace

                              Greetings and Peace, all group

                              832 Say "Who has made forbidden the nice things that GOD has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?" Say "They are meant for those who believe during this worldly life, and they will be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection." It is such that We explain the revelations for those who know.

                              ALLAH knows best.

                              peace

                              It is not about forbidden, but it is a matter of what is recommended to do.

                                It is just that what is natural is the deception in this world.

                                3185 Every human being is bound to taste death but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full - whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion/self-deception

                                One is easily bound to the wordly things. But one has to remind himself. That is the remembrance of God. Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy.

                                  But does it not make us slaves?

                                    This is what I said
                                    One is easily bound to the wordly things. But one has to remind himself. That is the remembrance of God. Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy.

                                    One is easily bound to the wordly things Temptation, Devil, Ego, Difficulty to control. Lack of gratitude. Wanting more.

                                    But one has to remind himself That is the key to facing such states. The multiple Salat we make. Those small moments you look at something and remember God. Giving away of what you have. etc. All those moments of stepping outside of the box.
                                    2153 O you who believe, seek help through patience and through the contact prayer, God is with the patient ones.

                                    That is the Remembrance of God Indeed. That is how you grow spiritually. Gradually.

                                    Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy Taking in consideration all the above. That is from God. And that is all in the context of the life test.

                                    Now which part suggests what you suggest ?

                                      We should not enjoy what we have been given in this world. It has been given to us as a deceptive trial and the one who can abstain is strong-minded.

                                      Be well

                                      I think we should enjoy what we are granted from God, this will lead to being thankful.
                                      Solomon enjoyed horses (racing?).

                                      There are some verses though about indulging. Indulging so much in what we are granted that we forget the remembrance of God. This is danger.

                                      Salam

                                        But does it not make us slaves?

                                        yes because we are infact slaves of God... 1/5

                                        its another thing if a deluded person(kafir/mushrik) think he is a part of God. going against 112...

                                          Salam,
                                          we aren't slaves, but servants.

                                          One important difference between these two words is that slaves have no choice while servants do have a choice, which goes in line with this verse;

                                          2256 There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been
                                          clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes
                                          in God, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will
                                          never break. God is Hearer, Knower.

                                          Salam
