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

Peace Dr Fazl,
All Glory, Dignity, Honour to Allah alone.
Throughout Quran, Allah upholds womanhood in a most dignified manner.
Each and every word of your post is so dignifying and should be cherished. Layers and layers of clarity and truth.
I can feel that you have lived it and it has come out of your experience. You are walking your talk and it is not mere preaching.
I can bear witness to the fact that, yes the question arose in my mind and my conscience answered. As a result today I am seeing far fetching results for listening to the conscience.
The question was - which is better a casual fling or a permanent, good, and mutually sincere feel and caring relationship. Conscience answered yes genuine, long lasting one, and my own, that which should be chosen by Him. Truly, this restrain, is a result of God's protection and guidance. The fruits of - patience, holding out for the one that is soul-matched for a person, - out-runs everything else when the end result blossoms and manifests.
in Gratitude,

Peace Dr Fazl,

Musa (Moses) said "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then gave guidance"- Form and nature
- I should not use an object. It should be useful to me
Can you please clarify.
gita
Peace
gita,He said "Our God is He Who gave to each thing its nature, and Who then gave the guidance.
Each thing God had created all things and has been creating anew and afresh each and everything in the heavens and in the earth and in everything in between for man. And then He gave them all the guidance to grasp our attention to it and teach us as to how to make full use of them for our best benefits. For example, a mango tree As it grows before us from under our feet, it makes us wait and catches our sight when it bears its flowers; then it draws our mind towards it as it transforms into an unripe mango; it does not produce any smell of the fruit which means it does not invite us yet to taste it. Later, its green tinge changes into pinkish yellow and then red, giving out a pleasant smell inviting us to it, and then further it ripens and calls us to savour the fruits of its bearings. Now we eat it. And say All Glory Be To Allah, the God of the universal Creator.
All human inventions are not inventions of man but because of the teachings by the entire nature, as to how to use everything wholesomely, or by its unit bits, or in its varying combinations - by Allah's leave and command and as Allah guides each of them to yield and mould under man's hands, in order that man understands to comprehend them into an idea and into concepts, and then to man's inventions from the start up to the point when he ends, tired of it. Yet, there is more and many more to what man had comprehended and idealised. Only his pride ends his comprehension which otherwise should have lead to torrents of current creations with liveliness and should have even proceeded further and beyond all comprehensions and inventions, by Allah's grace.
Everything in nature always awaits to teach us more and more by His leave, and by His guidance and command.
1884 Verily We established his power on earth, and We gave him the ways and the means to all ends.

Never engage in debates But engage with the Signs
217
Before you, the messengers We sent were but men; to them We gave inspiration If you cannot comprehend this, ask those who possess comprehension.Allah gives inspiration of the ayats of Quran to those who earnestly read to apply the essence of it in day to day life; and to those who would prostrate to such guidance of the revelation as they commit to practise it earnestly. This attitude is the best of all deeds in the making. Allah rewards such people with His wisdom.
1222 And when Yusuf came of age, We gave him distinguishing ability and wisdom. And thus We reward the doers of good. 313 As guidance and mercy for the doers of good 3780 Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
Revelation of Wisdom and Distinguishing Ability by Allah guides them through the revealing Signs of Quran and they live by them as only a Sign unto others. Such foremost people are there in every community, however minuscule the numbers of their community members are. Yet, unless one is pious and of pondering ability they cannot identify such signatories as near and dear as their kith and kin. The ayat 217 is a clear Sign from Allah that the Signs of Quran is not for the verbal debates but the revelation to follow, falling to them in sujud(prostration). Never engage in debates but engage with the Sigs.

Quran A Reminder; An Admonition; A Glad tidingQuran is each one's wholesome biography
2110 We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your sense. Then will you not reason?
Quran has reason in its ayats, sense in its words, remembrance with reference to each one's life and resemblance to one's situation at any point of time. Every individual's life discreetly, is the entire context of Quran, if only we understand Quran is the Guidance for those who believe in it.
We would lose our life's guidance as a whole, if we do not go by the above but turn away from it to look into the dictionary meanings and the grammar way to give a rigid and literal reading, leaving no room to reflect upon each of the ayats, as reflection of our works in our life so that we are reminded, admonished and given the glad tidings.

Zulf,
because nobody can guide someone else, especially not by force
And one cannot force even himself in the straight path for it is Allah who would conduct him if he truthfully submits and surrenders to Him wholesomely. Though it is hard to have that prostrating Will, it is easy to Allah that He endows upon us such 'sujud'ful mind, if only we entrust.
because each of us has his or her own world, distinct from anyone else's world
My sincere thanks for your summary.

Skies and the EarthHeaven or the Hell-fire
2116 We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play.
We do live, and have been living, and it is likely we would forever live our life, in play. We had not tilted our heads up to see the sky that which is made up as a heavy fortress of greatest mass that shall give the people the appearance of that of a cloud when a piece of it comes dashing on to the ground; and such a sky is filled with blazing fire and powerful guardians. The vain scientists postulate without shame, their assumptions with pride that the sky is a open space; this is because they do not possess the Luminous Book nor were they granted the wisdom of Allah. And the people generally are even more playful while they are seriously studying heal-over-heads, the astronomical vanities to add to their part of pride.
The word Play may be viewed having the following sensitive meanings as sport, competition, envy, vying, enmity, gamble, vanity, ignorance, indifference, pride, destruction, brute, contemptible, condemnable and as living in Hell-fire. We can not afford to ignore the reason for the creations; and what the Truth is about the two grand creations, the skies and the earth. Unless we seek from the Most Wise and the Most High, the wisdom of them, it is absolutely impossible for man to know that it is not for the man to understand or comprehend through their scientific playful brute ignorance coupled with arrogance. Hell alone would be the end to the human proceedings because they chose to know the TRUTH, themselves without the help of the Creator.
3827 And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in vain. Such is the thought of the disbelievers. And unto such disbelievers is the curse, of the Fire!
Without the sky and what is between it and the earth, the earth would have been extinct. And but for the earth which is to house man, the sky would not have been created by Allah. The earth is looking up to Allah for the sky to bring down its coolness, warmth, water and breeze for its own thriving, for the sake of man. And Allah has created from the sky down to earth and everything in between with a purpose to register each man's deed of good and bad - to reward them and to deal with them justly. He has created the malayikas to seek forgiveness for man and to drive the jinns away from even nearing the believers, thus saving the mankind from the hell-fire. All that Allah the Creator of the heavens and the earth wants from man is to constantly seek the wisdom of the heavens and the earth and all those creations in between the two, without let up in mind.
3191 Those who remember Allah while standing or sitting or lying on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, and say "Our God, You did not create this without purpose; exalted are You; protect us from the torment of the Fire.
We shall glorify Allah, justly calling on Him with every Attributes of Him. In the context of the present article, we call upon Him with such of His Attributes O the Creator; O the Most Wise; O the Teacher; O the Guide; O the Forgiver; O the Saviour from the Hell fire! You are the One who could enlighten us about the skies and the earth and everything in between. You are the Guide to conduct our intelligence through them all; You are the Forgiver of our sins; You are the Most Patient and Enduring when we get tired of remembering You or when we turn away from You in our ignorance and impatience. You had not created these in vain as our knowledge of ignorance teaches us; bear with us and raise us to the need of the Hour.

I need guidance from allah, prophets, the well informed and the servants of the most merciful.
When i read the posts of our forum members, one thing i found, some are rejecting guidance from the people who are following the righteous path.
2559 He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed.
What we understand about this part of verse saying "well informed"? Whether it is from allah or humans? It is humans.
Who are the servants of merciful or from whom we should get guidance?
Please go through 2563 to 2574
From these ayats we can easily understand who are the right people from whom we should get the guidance. These right people during their prayer to allah they say ," O allah make us a guide for the righteous people ".
Allah guides us all through right people from the beginning of this world till its end. But we people reject the guidance from the chosen ones.
What would our lord ask for other than supplication?
What for is this forum,is this only for chit-chat? People share their experiences to be an example to others. Where is the 'force' here to comply to one's ideas ? People will choose what is right. -
Listen And Surrender To Allah as He Speaks His Words To You All
2125 And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no God except Me, so worship Me."
The note of the above ayat is that Allah chooses messengers among such peoples who have reached the rock-bottom in despair. Allah asks the messengers to say to the people that He is with each of them reassuring I am with you; it is my good news to you that which you receive in your hearts as wahi; and you shall never earn this using your material living systems of any walk. There is no God besides Me; so put your trust in Me and surrender to My Way with humility.
The ayat can be redefined as the following
2125 And We sent not before you any messenger except to say - Listen to the wahi of Allah in you all "No God but Me; surrender to Me."
Whoso believes in wahi being constantly sent down upon him and perceives this inner voice as direct word of Allah, would surely surrender to His God and thereafter would not associate anyone to Him; and God would place him in His Straight Path.

Cry Before Silence
2127 They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.
2127 They would not advance before His Will; and they do as He Wish.Blue Literal reading
Green Perception of RevelationNote The God of the skies and the earth and everything in between - Allah, sends His Wahi upon His Ruh which He has breathed into each man when born and made it His SOUL to rest in his heart for good, till his last breath i.e His RUH, His very first Breath that kick started His breathing and life, is captured back by the Malayikas by His Command.
That first breathing is the All-Encompassed Creative and Functional Energy of All Universes combine, that which is your Soul. At that very moment 'Be!' from Allah is set in it that keeps moving your mind forward to His Will, in every unit of your breathing. Our only duty in this world is to make our minds become humble slaves before the word of Allah, as He keeps breathing His Will upon your Ruh as Wahi. Surrender to His Wahi.
What His Wahi is It is the Will of your God, Allah, to elevate each of you to the Throne of the universe and then upon the Universes according to the grades of your belief in His Wahi, steadfastness in it, humility before it, servitude towards it, and the degree of your guarding against disbelief. Disbelief is the end product of every indiscipline of all the worldly knowledge, combine.
His Wahi is His Will sent to our Ruh is only as an Insight, the absolute Wisdom from Him, the God of the Universes. Our Insight receives this as, 'out of the worlds feel' that can not be figured out through any of your every means of external sights, the physics and the science all put together. They cannot have a glimpse at even a Sign of the Wahi. Out-of-the-worlds feel that rests in our Souls reveals to us that we are perched upon the Arsh, the Throne of the worlds. Sadly enough when you, with your pride of the earthy knowledge - speak dismissing one's own Insight; and mocking at the believing people before them and ridiculing them in their behind, they are coming down falling heavily from the skies face down to the ground.
This is because such disbelievers advance their cry of their science and noise of their technology high above God's calm and revelling Insight and His Composed Signs of peace and tranquillity He would bestow upon the believers's Ruh, by the power of His Will.
Science should keep crying and trying to its highest decibels until it shrieks to a grinding halt when it advances before the Signs of His Wisdom; and when the Hour of Wisdom comes, there ends all the matters and materials of men. The knowledge becomes extinct and the doom is cast.
932 They desire to blow out the Wisdom of Allah with their mouths, but Allah dawns His Wisdom upon, while the disbelievers hate it.

2127 They would not advance before His Will; and they do as He Wish.
In any one's mind are the best and the worst things expected of his future at any point of time. The worst apprehension comes from one's own evil and devilishness; and all hopes in his mind of the best rewards is because of the word from God, The Most Able. There are thus compelling situations impending on us or advantageous environment protecting us. The hateful condition is what we had earned by our belief and faith in the evil; and the 'free mind' is what we had wished for, and that which we had well-anchored in our souls as His Will is sent down upon us.
Whoever follows the Will of Allah as his wishful need and thereafter stands steadfast without undermining it, never doubting its possibility of existence, believing his ill-informed education against it with arrogance, would suffer what he believed in; and know that God had not wronged such people a bit. For example, the ill-fed medicine says to a patient, "There is no cure for your disease and you have to live the rest of your life, consuming medicines struggling for life, until you die." The disbeliever takes the evil to his soul; while he accepts such evil word from the ignorant doctors, there is always his God's words that say to him, "You shall get rid of all your afflictions by My Will; it is easy for Me. Be Patient and abide by Me believing Me and My Promise alone." Thus there are two opposing forces in the mind. One, is the God's words, the Most Competent that spring from the Soul and the other is the evil force, the external material education ringing death knell on the soul, saying, "You will die; there is no way for survival without the disease ultimately killing you; and that is for sure!"
When the promise of God comes to them through the malayikas as wahi that says, 'there is no disease at all and you shall live healthily until the prescribed Hour arrives at you. But you advance and leap on to the deadly words cast upon you through the condemnable education of man. Thus the malayikas give you glad tidings against the ignorant education you possess about your High blood pressure, your kidney failure, your lung failure, your liver failure, your heart failure, your diabetes, your gynaecological problems, your cancer diseases and so forth. When you are a disbeliever in such good news because you valued the medical education high above God's words, you say denounce and dismiss the malayikas who reveal to your mind saying, 'Mind you, these are the God's words of good promise; and God's will be done! If you disbelieve this and advance with the promises of people's education, then you do so to your soul's destruction.' Those who disbelieve, should advance before Allah and His malayikas. And they, the malayikas disown them in return by the leave of Allah, not pleading with Allah any more for them in intercession. When the doom befalls them, they would not delay capturing their lives, smiting their faces and their backs saying to them, "Taste the hell fire because you were disbelievers and did wrong to your own souls."
2127 They would not advance before His Will; and they do as He Wish.

Detail the Space into Heavenly Bodies and Ascend To The ThroneOr Get Derailed Into The Depths Of Abyss.
2130 Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
2130 Have the disbelievers not seen that the skies and the earth were in unified entity and we detailed them and that we caused all living things from water? Do they not then believe?blue Normal and literal meaning
Green understanding the meaning with sense"Unified Entity" is being 'a being'; 'being' is the sign of totality of all things, existing in absolute abstractness; and exactly this is how the entire visible creations today - the skies, the earth and everything in between, the heavenly things - were once in a state of being. Likewise there is this entity ever present in abundance inside the present space, and out of such conceived spaces, if any known to us. All Glory Be To God, The Creator.
We are 'beings' in human nature, created and placed as an entity in the Soul or the Ruh of Allah. It is the Throne for the highest being, Man, whence he could command formations from the abstract unified entity, the Space by the leave of Allah, the Creator. Man could command what is in the skies, what is in the earth and all that which are present in between; and he could form in to existence, newer and many more lively beings to serve him, as per his wish and will from that spacious universe by a word 'Be' from Allah into being, i.e, bringing forth the abstract being to living manifestation and the life from the dead by the grant of Allah, the Almighty.
Being soulful is Human being and that should he believe and abide by the Grand Command of his RUH, the unified force in the space would cleave apart in to further formations and as detailed living things. Water is the living source of man and as the first measure of grant, Allah would allow the 'being in human' the power to command the Air and the Water; the water in the sea and in the clouds above him; and in the water on the land, and within the rocks to sprout as 12 springs as was given to the Prophet Musa to see as Signs from Allah.
811 As a reassurance from Him, sent down water from the sky upon you, that thereby He might elevate you, and detail you from the fear of Satan, and make strong your hearts and firm your feet thereby.
Here we see how Allah guides us through the Prophet Nuh
7111 He will send rain from the sky upon you in continuing showers
7112 And give you increase in things and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.
7113 What is the matter with you that you do not attribute to Allah due grandeur?Cleave asunder the space i.e, the unified entity into living manifestations, if you are a believer in the Creator. "Make this universe heavenly abode", is the command from the Mighty Creator, for the man as long as his stint in this world lasts with a word 'Be' from Him.
7216 And Allah revealed that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant water.
Would you then believe?

Turn Him Not Aside ForThe Return Of His Mercy
2142 Say, "Who can protect you by night and by day from the Most Merciful?" But they turn aside the remembrance of their God."
Remembering one's own capacity ignoring The Provider, takes him in the direction of losses of his gains; remembering one's own intelligence, makes him ignore his misgivings; believing in one's own education, leads him to his dead end; believing in one's own hard physical efforts leads to his frustration and despair; relying on one's own physical health makes him physically and mentally a sick person; believing in medicine for his fitness poisons his blood and thriving; believing, remembering and relying in doctors for life and living make them too heart-sick and despondent.
Such are the lives of most, digressing their entire lives towards hopelessness. This is because they turn away from the remembrance of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind; and while Allah by His compassion and mercy forgiving their mistakes and sins and while by His Grace and Benevolence, gives them a long rope, all their lives by night and by day, the ungrateful and arrogant heart-sick people spend their life time glorifying their own knowledge and prowesses. Now the time for most has come for the questioning of all those who lived their lives remembering less and less of Allah and who glorified people as The Laureates, The Noble
211, 2. Closer and closer to mankind comes their Hour of questioning yet they heed not and they turn away. No reminder comes to them anew from their God except that they heed not to it, and while they mock at it.
Let us remember and revere from this day more of Allah's Attributes the Compassionate, the Benevolent, the Merciful, the Kind, the Forgiving, the Able, than our own characters of Pride, before the Hour arrives on us. If Allah ever stops seeing us due to our continued turning away and indulgence in arrogance and in extravagance, that is it The Hour has Finally Arrived For Us. Who would then save us but for The Return Of His Mercy upon Us? Do we not reflect then, by day and by night, and Revere Allah, the God of the universes?
2142 Say, "Who can protect you by night and by day from the Most Merciful?" But they turn aside the remembrance of their God."

2224 And they had been guided to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.
2224 And they had been guided towards the Purest Words, and they were humbled in the path of 'All Glory Be To The God Of The Worlds'.
Blue Literal translation
Green Meaning by perceptionEach and every just needs of our life is of the diktat of Allah; and the purest word from Him is that that it is with Him is the Justice and the Way. Each one stepping out of the Guidance, wanders in his own way aimlessly and striving mindlessly. The aim of such of these is, to get well settled with enough money that would feed him for generations. They had failed to understand God's guidance towards life is well above all the money, the worst enemy of all human nature - thus their striving is purposeless and aimless.
In every aimless direction, each meets with a dead end at any point in his works from the scratch to his heights of glory. One's aim shall be, by the order of God is to follow the peace and holding the peace firm in the Mind while seeking from the most Glorious in one's Soul to further the peace towards its prosperity till the Last Day. But when the mind is for the money, and the luxuries it could fetch, then mind is lost to the desires based injustices in opposition to the Pure Guidance from His Soul, from The Most Glorious.
Our works for the worldly pleasures and wealth brings us pride and envy, the twin inseparable woes to the hearts. This means we had fallen apart from the path of The Most Glorious i.e, pride and envy gives us the feel we are above all the humble and pious people. With these two evil nature we are not in the path of 'All glory to be to the God of the universes. Therefore we cease to be under the mercy and kindness of Allah with our twin woes. Henceforth we would be cast aside and left astray with torment and bewilderment.

The books on science, A castaway debris
2231 Inclining to Allah , not associating with Him. And he who associates with Allah - it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds or the wind carried him down into a remote place.
2231 Do not associate anything with Allah but bow to Him; And he who associates with Allah - it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched away by the birds or the wind carried him far off into a remote place.
The above two parts in blue shall have to be understood from what Quran defines as Allah is the word that comprises All the Best Attributes in the heavens down to earth. And all things in the entire universe praise His Glorious Attributes while surrendering their entire selves only to Allah. He is the Creator and Ruler of all His creations seen and unseen to our eyes; and known and unknown to our knowledge, the science. If we believe in the science with pride, we leave out the prime hidden source of life - high and above the materially lifeless and the prognostically deathward science. On the other hand if we believe in Allah we would be taught by the All-Knowing Teacher, the hidden life source behind every creation on/in the universe and their details of their servitude to the mankind. Believing in and careful reasoning of this one ayat, by Allah, shall throw for the believers, the light upon the unseen hidden power source behind each and every creation, the enlightenment by which you can have mastery over the creations of the Universal things and Universal happenings.
3120 Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His enlightenment, through insight and out-sight? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or the Enlightening Book.
Never associate your scientific knowledge with, or equate them to, or hold them high above the Teaching of the All-Knowing. If any one feels so proudly, or behaves so arrogantly, he is already a cast away debris.
