    I don't think you are correct about that. Check Surah 112.

    You mean to say following establish it?

    Surah 112 1

    He, who doesn?t engage in worship is following an ultimate reality, use your rational and express

    Surah 112 2

    The course needs to be repaired and directed to one, who doesn?t engage in worship.

    Surah 112 3

    Neither he has introduced a new idea, nor he could.

    Surah 112 4

    There is no other ultimate reality in likeliness for him.

      Where did you get following and ultimate reality? I checked the root word of Ahadun (&#1583 and doesn't say anything about ultimate reality or following.

                  Forgive me if i got this wrong but alssamadu is in masculine noun singular form. If it was a verbal noun it would have been umd (&#8206. I got this from Wikitonary by the way.

                    Seems you didn't pay any attention to the following in red.

                    One can discuss with which equivalent word of the Language that it is translated in to use. Furthermore, one can't understand the Quran until understands that real meanings of Allah is "one who doesn't engage in worship". Current traditional meanings of words in translation were chosen or invented to fit understanding of Allah as "one and only deity for worship". Hence, this meaning of Allah impedes ones mind from looking at any other root meanings of a given root.

                            I don't exactly have a understanding of worship. If you are referring to the word ibadat then to me it's to serve or serving through good & righteous deeds. And as for word God i am very skeptical of the object of worship. I learned that the proto-indoeuropean root word of God has some dispute.

                            Inner Light and Meditation

                            Once the Indo-Europeans had used the consonant d, symbol of light, to denote the divine (divya) and god (deva), they then used the d to mean to bear light within the human soul and they consequently formed the root dh to think in contemplation or contemplative thinking.

                            From dh came the word dhti devotion, prayer or meditation, which, in Latin, corresponds to the word fides faith

                            (Please, note that the development of indoeuropean dh > latin f is very common.

                            from https//en.wiktionary.org/.../AppendixList_of.../g%CA%B0

                            Oxford English Dictionary

                            "god (gd). Also 3-4 godd. [Com. Teut. OE. god (masc. in sing.; pl. godu, godo neut., godas masc.) corresponds to OFris., OS., Du. god masc., OHG. got, cot (MHG. got, mod.Ger. gott) masc., ON. go?, gu? neut. and masc., pl. go?, gu? neut. (later Icel. pl. gu?ir masc.; Sw., Da. gud), Goth. gu?(masc. in sing.; pl. gu?a, guda neut.). The Goth. and ON. words always follow the neuter declension, though when used in the Christian sense they are syntactically masc. The OTeut. type is therefore *guom neut., the adoption of the masculine concord being presumably due to the Christian use of the word. The neuter sb., in its original heathen use, would answer rather to L. numen than to L. deus. Another approximate equivalent of deus in OTeut. was *ansu-z (Goth. in latinized pl. form anses, ON. ss, OE. ?s- in personal names, ?sa genit. pl.); but this seems to have been applied only to the higher deities of the native pantheon, never to foreign gods; and it never came into Christian use.

                            The ulterior etymology is disputed. Apart from the unlikely hypothesis of adoption from some foreign tongue, the OTeut. *gubom implies as its pre-Teut. type either *ghudho-m or *ghut?-m. The former does not appear to admit of explanation; but the latter would represent the neut. of the passive pple. of a root *gheu-. There are two Aryan roots of the required form (both *glheu, with palatal aspirate) one meaning to invoke (Skr. h&#363, the other to pour, to offer sacrifice (Skr. hu, Gr. , OE. y?otan YETE v.). Hence *glhut?-m has been variously interpreted as what is invoked (cf. Skr. puru-hta much-invoked, an epithet of Indra) and as what is worshipped by sacrifice (cf. Skr. hut?, which occurs in the sense sacrificed to as well as in that of offered in sacrifice&#8217. Either of these conjectures is fairly plausible, as they both yield a sense practically coincident with the most obvious definition deducible from the actual use of the word, an object of worship.

                            Some scholars, accepting the derivation from the root *glheu- to pour, have supposed the etymological sense to be molten image Gr. &#957, but the assumed development of meaning seems very unlikely.

                            From the Oxford English Dictionary.

                            I dont know very much about the particular stem, but I think that it is obvious why gheu(&#601 (invoke, call) and other root *ged- (unite, join) come from the same seme since when you call, people get united and joined and gathered. This *ged- also became gut in German and good in English. You still use it in the English words "gather" or "together".

                            In any case, I could only give a proper linguistic approach myself about the Greek "theos" and latin "deus", but I think your issue is about the English "god".

                            Also you must know there are other approaches which reject the above widely accepted etymology ( check http//search.proquest.com/.../168623f5623c2cb08baa8.../1... ), although personally I dont see any problem in the acceptance of no laryngeal development.

                            Note Proto Indoeuropean is a family of languages that consists on more than 100 languages (from German and Latin to Sanskrit or Armenian). These languages are supposed to come from a language (Indieuropean) talked around 4500 BC in Central Asia and spread until Europe in several migration waves. Those people had several names but the general one is Aryans. Take into account that the PIE reconstruction project is not only a project held by linguistics, it is a huge attempt that counts on genetics, archaeology, anthropology and geology)

                              I don't exactly have a understanding of worship. If you are referring to the word ibadat then to me it's to serve or serving through good & righteous deeds. And as for word God i am very skeptical of the object of worship. I learned that the proto-indoeuropean root word of God has some dispute.

                              Please explain further in red what do you mean? Try defining concept god in your words. At best in one or two sentences. Anything that can not be defined this way is not a real concept.

                                I'm gonna try but bear with me because i am not good at explaining. Serving requires actions and i have seen a lot of verses in Al-Quran about justice & righteousness

                                4135
                                Ya ayyuha allatheena amanookoonoo qawwameena bialqisti shuhadaalillahi walaw AAala anfusikum awi alwalidayniwaal-aqrabeena in yakun ghaniyyan aw faqeeran faAllahuawla bihima fala tattabiAAoo alhawaan taAAdiloo wa-in talwoo aw tuAAridoo fa-inna Allahakana bima taAAmaloona khabeeran
                                O you who believe, stand with justice as witnesses to God, even if against yourselves, or the parents or the relatives. Even if he be rich or poor, God is more worthy of them, so do not follow desire into being unjust. And if you twist or turn away, then God is Expert over what you do.

                                And as for concept of God, well i am not good at explaining but he is not just a god, He is the one God who is The Creator of the heavens & the earth like in 5924

                                5924

                                Huwa Allahu alkhaliqu albari-oalmusawwiru lahu al-asmao alhusnayusabbihu lahu ma fee alssamawatiwaal-ardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeemu
                                He is God; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Noble, the Wise.

                                I hope this answer your question. To me Allah or God or Dios or whatever language you are using, use it to refer to The Creator. Salamun Aleykum/Peace be upon you.

                                  Why do you need to keep referring to a scripture? Why can't you use your own understanding to describe concepts you have? Please just enumerate numerically 1, 2, ... the good and righteous deeds that you understand and perform every day.

                                  For god, just say "it is creator" or "it is I worship five times a day or for whom I fast" or "for whom I will kill anybody". It is only if we can get our concepts crystal clear our deeds will become correct.

                                    But why can't i base my concepts from the Quran? There is nothing wrong with that. Bold part is what i am trying to say.

                                        How certain are you about the concepts currently presented in Quran as the correct concepts? Pleas share your basis for such a certainty?

                                          How do you help needy and poor? What do you mean by good towards family? Do you think one needs a divine scripture to be good towards ones family?
