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

Salamun alaikum.
I seriously doubt if you can prove with facts that the current generation is suffering from more "physical" diseases compared to any time in the past. Rather the life expectancy data world-wide says the opposite.
Diseases and Life expectancy from the Quranic Perspective
Arman,salam.
The under mentioned are a few of the million-diseases with symptoms and syndromes that are persistently chronic and intermittently acute; and them being causative factors for the mortality of the suffering mankind in total, globally. I am not blowing anything out of proportions. Rather I am exposing the truth deliberately overlooked; and the cooked up statistics that form the basis of the documented medical facts and illustrated figures.
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, neurodegenerative diseases; Autoimmune diseases growingly affecting almost any organ; chronic tonsillitis, appendicitis; thyroiditis, hormonal imbalances; psoriasis; IBS; cancers; heart diseases cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic cardiopathy, cardiomyopathy, idiopathic diseases; Myalgia, polymyositis, encephalomyelitis, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); chronic hepatitis; cerebral palsy (all types); any chronic pain syndromes and especially post surgical pains; chronic osteo-articular diseases osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis; gout; chronic renal failure, chronic Kidney Disease; almost any and every gynaecological problem; chronic respiratory diseases asthma, chronic pulmonary diseases, pulmonary hypertension; Deafness and hearing impairment; Hypertension; Diabetes mellitus; Endometriosis; Blood Pressure; Fibromyalgia; Epilepsy; Mental illness; Osteoporosis; Periodontal disease; certain anaemia and other haemoglobin disorders; Lyme Disease; psycho somatic disorders; and almost all hereditary disorders including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and many more.
With such terminally leading diseases and many more endless in list manifestly showing their symptoms, and some in remissions; and some in exacerbations; and some in the making, thus with hidden symptoms and syndromes, and every patient dying of the diseases being diagnosed shows the high mortality rate with added adverse effects and afflictions due to drugs and medicines that makes wholesome affliction. And this is the picture at a glance of the world ill fated population as a direct result of what their own hands have wrought upon themselves by believing doctors on par with the All Knowing, All Encompassing, Almighty.
Allah says And We sent to no city a prophet except that We seized its people with poverty and diseases that they might humble themselves (before the All Knowing, All Encompassing).Your God is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task now for what they earn, He would have hastened on their afflictions; but theirs is a life expectancy from which they will find no escape.
Our understandings concerning the Truth do change from individual to individual; here we are only exchanging our point of view; not discussing even. Your input is most welcome. At one point in this exchange of points, either you or I might stop responding which means 'For you is Yours!' and 'For me is Mine!' That means we respect each other.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Salam brother.
The verbose names of diseases that you mention - most of them have been there all along; they have merely been named in recent times - by the very medical scientists whom you discredit. In current world if any city is experiencing the wrath of Allah - that city has to be one in the Middle East or Africa - medical science is hardly the root cause for these. The only major medical epidemic in today's world - Ebola is prevalent in communities which are mostly outside the reach of modern medical care and the disease originated from the natural world - a fact that farther weakens your claims. Had Ebola surfaced 500 years ago it would have taken a major global death toll - like many epidemics in the last millennium. Praise and thanks to Allah who has given men the knowledge and technology to prevent, contain and cure diseases like this.
Regarding the point of exchange where we seek our own path - for me that point is now. Best of luck with your journey.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Even though, I did this to myself Dr Fazl, this has been a beautiful lesson and experience because it has brought me so dear and near towards Allah then I have ever experienced in my life.
Brother tpna,
You had been tolerating, by the leave of Allah, all your affliction either small or greater; Allah gives you of His tolerance and forbearance and He is the Reckoner of the time determined and the period of your patience. You will receive your goodly reward from the Reckoner; and you have been receiving the greatest gift of Allah - more and more of your faith in Allah alone. When Allah blesses you with worldly comforts also sooner or later, become more and more humble bringing down your pride below your feet, and say All glory be to Allah, the God of the worlds. Now tpna, it is time to have an ayat or two to verify and to get satisfied upon the ayats of Allah.
"The sacred period is for the sacred period; and for violations is just retribution. So whoever exceeds on you, then exceed on him in the same way that he has exceeded on you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him."
"The Sacred period is for the Sacred period." The sacred period in your life is that period of your patience observed for the sake of Allah believing in His Forgiveness and putting the Trust in His never ending reward; and to you Allah promises "I am with you all the time, until last day. tpna, you are growing in your peace of mind and health and your sacred period is extended and furthered. Fear Allah more, that you shall not lose your patience whatever be the inducements (entertainment, pop culture, sports, gossip, mocking, back biting and involve in social gatherings/parties/drinking...etc) and utterances (A very close friend (only friend) of mine called me yesterday, and he said that one thing he does not like about me, is that he feels I am anti-social (my parents say the same thing). from the closer friends and far away people. All we have to do is to seek forgiveness for your far and near from Allah. Patience is the last word of Allah to those who follow the prophets and the messengers. Here it is
"And certainly even the messengers were denied before you, but they were patient over their denial, and they (the people who followed the messengers) were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words of Allah. And there has certainly come to you some information about the messengers."
And hence tpna, if you are harassed it has happened to even messengers before you; and certainly this message has come to you about the messengers for your peace and solace. Be reminded of this portion of Allah's admonition "And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you turn away from your straight path, if they can."
For the rest of your post the explanation shall follow soon..

All praises is due to Allah, The Turner of People's Hearts.

O You Under The Bed Clothing!
The line in the verse 73.20 goes like this .... Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that ye count it not, and turns unto you in mercy ....
Any verse in Quran does not refer to 'Muslims' but to mankind; Allah has created Night and Day for the mankind to enlighten and reassure them by the Night; and enliven and prosper by the Day. The Night is created for us to rest therein and to seek forgiveness for all that we had done during the Day against our conscience, The Book. We are accountable for what we had committed during our Day time; and it is time we sought His Mercy. The Night proceeds with the purification of our conscience, by The Book, until a period during the Night passes by cleansing us of our addiction to evil. So for each and every one of us there is a period of awakening in our conscience before the sleep overtakes us. Early to bed as the Night falls thus gives mankind chance for this retreat in order that they are pruned and primed by the Nights. You cannot fall asleep without this retreat for a wonderfully short, short sleep. Your night is over when Allah says 'wakeup, enough of it!' When you are thus awakened, the time may be deep into the Night or the early hours; never go back to sleep without getting up, remembering Allah dutifully and with gratitude; if you are sure it is Allah who gives you sleep, then it is He who wakes you up now. If we honour Allah then it is that we wake up, refresh us and bring to our memory His grace upon us as much as possible and praise His Glory for all the good He has bestowed upon us during the Day and during the Night, all our lives.
In this way Allah says some of you stand steadfast in My remembrance during the times of wakefulness, in gratitude - Night or Day, except for the naps now and then as per My allowance to you. Therefore you are not the ones who calculate the Night and the Day. And until this day Allah had forgiven you for this and has turned to you in Mercy.

The Covenant Of Thur
2.63"And remember when We raised ?Thur? above you and took covenant from you and said, ?Have a firm hold on to what We have given you and ponder over it. So that you will become pious.?
Allah has raised ?Thur? above us before taking the covenant. The Covenant has the following agreement we shall have a firm hold on to what Allah had given to us over it. It is not ?A mountain?. But a word of promise of mountainous proportions from Allah that you will have power over it; and in the Name of Allah see all the benefits and beauty it has for you; its bountiful splendour I have showered upon it for you; they shall listen to your heart and echo your heart in action (34.10); wherever your hearts want falls from it, small or big, it must produce it then and there; when you want spacious pathway up the mountain, it shall pave way for you; all the splendor and beauty must flourish in their varieties according to your wish in the Name of Allah - it must echo you. You can make the mountains displace (13.31), make them fly and disperse them like the dispersion of clouds (27.8 into thin winds. You shall throw the mountains up in the sky and make them bang into each other and fall like a heap of sand and dust and spread it up without ups and downs thus erasing their very traces of their existence before. And you raise your plains into mountains that shall obey your wish, in the Name of Allah.
And thus, if you are a believer, believe that you need Him for the wishful liveliness of your wilfully obedient heart into which He had already breathed His Ruh, as His Wish and Will. And in the Name of Allah, the whole world, the skies and the earth shall echo it in our service and with subservience. Henceforth, have a firm hold on to the ?Thur? - The covenant of Thur.

Bar the Religions; Bat for Religiousness
"But whoever join a people, between who and you there is equanimity; or those who have come to you not willing to oppose you, nor willing to fight their own people ? for had Allah willed, He would have turned them against you; and, at that, they would have certainly fought against you. If they stayed away from you without fighting you, and wish peace with you ? then Allah allows not a way for you against them (4.90) "
This verse speaks about how a believer in Allah should conduct and behave with the rest of whole population who are not believers in Allah; feel the hearts of the people irrespective of one?s religion, religious appearance and ritualistic religious practices. The above verse endorses the righteous attitude to be practiced religiously dignifying your conscience that which satisfies The Most Religious, Allah.

Fulfil Allah's Promises
Allah will fulfil our PromisesFor the mankind's redeemed life on this earth, what Allah places before it is, to adhere to an agreement between Him and the mankind. The only proviso in this agreement is We are to fulfil Allah's Promises; and He will fulfil our promises.
"Fulfil My promise and I will fulfil your promise 2/40."
We are to remember what the promise was for our living on this earth by His bountiful Grace. The only agreement is that we are to fulfil His Promise; and in return, Allah's Promise upon us is His Grace, Bounteous.
Let us all listen and remember first what Allah Promises to us Every lively, beautiful and lasting Wish you harbour in your breasts all through your ives, are breathed into you by Me; and these are My promises to you which we are expected to fulfil.
And how to fulfil Allah's promises is to put the whole Grace, Blessings and Bestows back in His Trust without a moment's pause. Allah promises paradises from Him in exchange for our wealth and lives He gave us 9/111. Are we willing to whole heartedly accept to this deal of Allah, in its purest form? When our hearts surrender to this, then it is that we have surely kept His Promise; and Allah will Keep up His Promise Yes! Paradise for us in this earth and Paradises for us in the Next World too.

Brother Rahman, let us give up the flesh and get absorbed in Allah.

Being in Prayer all the time is Prayerfulness
And it is 'Timed Ordinance' until death.Allah sends down His Will upon the hearts of mankind, without let up through his every inspiration throughout life; and every 'Will' is bounties of His Treasures, never to let go off our hands; as the treasures of His Bounties are revealed to us, it happens as a flash and at that fraction of the moment our hearts become still and peaceful. We just feel this peace of mind very, very transiently, due to which either we lose the 'Light of Revelation or The Wahi' then and there or stay in that thought appreciating the Revelation for a very short while and then forgetting or dismissing it out unmindfully as worthless imaginations; this monumental loss is because of not being in the constant remembrance of Allah or being prayerful. In every fraction of our each inspiration, we are revealed of the Will of Allah with 'Peace or the word of Salam' from Him. This 'Salam' will be much felt by us off and on, at times of great stress due to fear or anxiety when we will be always prayerful, remembering Allah constantly in our each breath.
It is Allah who says 'Salam' to you during your apprehensive state of mind and we seek the same that which is proposed to us by the Almighty, turning to Him; how we seek the peace is where we deviate. If we are prayerful then we reply to Allah as this "O Allah there is none but You who can give me Salam; I surrender myself to You for peace; make me a Muslim unto You alone; and strengthen my 'Iman - the belief in Your word of Promise and make me a Mumin unto You alone." And only to this abject surrendering or prostration or sujud to the Will of Allah we receive the answer from Him. Allah is nearer to us than our hearts; and whoso believes in this and being in prayerful state all the time, shall intercede with Allah on his own behalf. Allah answers the call of such callers who call on Him.
On the contrary those who do the ritualistic prayer, they are like deaf, blind and dumb to His time of revelation or we ignore His call on us. Allah is ever watcher over our hearts and He cannot be cheated through the body languages of ritual prayers. Their prayer is a show unto others, while Allah is ever cognisant of what is in the breasts of each of us. Mankind is unlikely to falter in responding to the Call of Allah and shall not miss out on the time, if only they stay prayerful in their souls.
For example Allah ordains upon us, ?Keep up your humility for Me over your anger!? it is a timed ordinance ? unless we are believers and have fear for Allah we are likely to fall a prey to our own satanic influences and become angry with others. Timed prostration to the Will of Allah, or being prayerful, or the prayer conscience is lost there. If we fear Allah there is no need to fear about anything or any one in the world. Peace and protection from Allah follows us wherever we go for Allah is ever Keeper over His bondsmen.
4.103
Thus when you are strengthened in your faith, keep remembering Allah while standing, or sitting, or resting on your sides; and when the peaceful situation arrives surrender to His Will in time; surely to ?prostrating to His Will? is a timed ordinance upon the believers. -
Allah is Grateful, Appreciative
If you indeed love to acquire of the beautiful attributes of Allah such as
- Forgiveness of Him and
- The abstract Power of Him
Then upkeep the following
- Do good to others openly or secretly; and
- Forgive the wrong doers
What a great way to attain of the two attributes of Allah?
4.149
When you do a good openly or secretly or forgive the wrong @ ? for Allah indeed is Most Forgiving, All Powerful.@ Those who do such righteous deeds, their hearts are gratefully blessed by Allah of His attributes ? Forgiving and Mightiness.

If Muslims Fear disgrace and social kick out, Follow Isa
Whoever believes in Allah and His messengers and differentiate not between any of them, soon He will give them their reward; and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Merciful 4/152.
Any one who fears disgrace, severe punishment and social kick out as the so called muslims do suffer today by what Allah has fore warned and decreed upon whoever ?adheres? to one messenger and turns away from another messenger, then follow Isa Taurat, Injeel 3/55 as is said in the Quran, so that Allah will make such Muslims exalted above every disbelieving Muslims, Jews, Christians and Sabians 2/62 in the world. Allah will Forgive the muslims and show them His Mercy.

Tranquility to you brother Fazlur,
I think amen's real meaning would actually appeal to your preaching and state of mind. That is acceptance and affinity. Hence to accept Allah is the "amen b'Allah" phrase, but very so by joining the realm and hence be of affinity with the prophets, decrees, angels and all the good people.
Remain faithful to our Rabb

Pledge belief in Isa, the Prophet
All through your life 3/554.159
And surely, none of the people of the Book shall die without believing in Isa, before he dies. Yet on the Last Hour, he would be a witness against them.People whose hearts die in disbelief, long before his death ? they die because of their anxiety, apprehension and fear against the peace and tranquility ensured by Allah all through their lives; thus they had killed themselves long before their real death; at the time of their true death, on seeing it before their eyes, the truth re-emerges from their souls saying Wish a rebirth! At this, they will surely long for it, and they would say If we are given another lease of life, we will become of the believers and do good deeds. But it is not to be so. In every one, at the time of death this truth will be glaring before them, making them dearly wish for a new life, believing in it totally ? it is because of the existence of the Truth, Isa, the son of Maryam, the messenger and the prophet of Allah had demonstrated by Allah's leave when he made the dead rise from the grave, the greatest Sign and the proof from Allah for the absolute belief. Whoso wish for a new lease of life because they were a disbelieving ones in Isa, the messenger and the prophet even as they possessed the Book, will cry on the Last Hour for a re-birth.
2530 But Isa, of the messengers would stand witness against them and say "God, my people had abandoned this ayat 3/55 of Quran."
Prayer O Allah, the God of the worlds! Make me a believer in Isa; and make me a believer in all of the prophets; and I am not to be among those who differentiate among the prophets.

All Diseases are due to our Eating
The Halal foods, made Haraam for us.4.161
And We have made the good foods We had allowed for them earlier as disagreeable to the Jews because of their sins; and because they obstructed most people from following the path of Allah.Most people in the world are suffering food caused problems; they cannot eat what they want because most foods do not agree to their digestion; this is because knowingly or unknowingly or wantonly we are hindering others from Allah?s way, as the Jews are doing. This is such a great sin before Allah that He had made most lawful foods as forbidden to us for life. Set right your heart in that we henceforth shall not argue intensely over Allah's ayats, for it is the work of the disbelievers. It makes most onlookers with an idle mind follow this way or that way, missing out on their own Allah's path. This is hindering the others from following Allah's Way. And in almost all religions there are divisions and sects made by the religious heads who divided one Mankind into various human races effecting hindrance, dissension and deviation.
In our hearts is the disease; and there are no physical or physiological diseases.as modern medicine describes; they will diagnose the diseases but not one disease can be cured; your digestion will never get set right for every food is haram for us; we are to starve to stay high and dry; we call it slim and fitness. Shun the people; turn to Allah in repentance for having followed one sect or the other or the way formulated by so called religious leaders; and We will see Allah as Most Forgiving, Merciful.

Correction to the ayat number referred to in the above post.......
4.161 4.160
And We have made the good foods We had allowed for them earlier as disagreeable to the Jews because of their sins; and because they obstructed most people from following the path of Allah. -
What is Halal? What is Haram? 53
Forbidden to us are the carrion, the blood, the swine flesh, what has been hallowed to other than God, the dead by strangling, the dead by beating, the dead by falling, the gored to death, and the devoured of the wild ? except that which you slaughtered@; and the execrable are ? that which are slaughtered on the altars; and the raffled by the divining arrows. This day, the disbelievers have lost the way from your guided path; so do not fear them; fear Me alone ? and this day, I have perfected your righteous path; and I have fulfilled My bestow upon you ? and for you I have chosen ?Peace? as the path. But if any of you without sinful intention forced to consume out of hunger, Allah is Oft Forgiving, Merciful.
@ The Blood is haram or harmful because at any given point of time it contains urine and evil materials with their live evil energy; therefore all the 24 hours the blood is subjected to the kidneys for continuous cleansing process; the livestock when slaughtered by neck properly with a sharp knife that causes no abrasions or crushing of arteries, all blood from their bodily parts flows out of them with minimal remnants of blood in them; but apart from this way of slaughtering, any other way or method of death to livestock, as mentioned in the above verse, whole blood remains as clots and jellies in their fleshes and in all of their minute blood vessels which is forbidden, for their fleshes now contain urine, evil materials and their live evil energies, which will cause all forms of allergies from skin to bones; and indigestion problems and later on liver, lung and kidney failures. People think that the bone marrow is tasty but hey are haram too; based on the fact that we have listened herein because it is one of the organs of blood production; the other organs is spleen ? these both parts of the cattle are haram; likewise the kidneys and the entire gastrointestinal system lodge in it the excreta; haram are the blood organ, the heart and the lungs; What remains as lawful to our bodily system is the flesh of the cattle and nothing else of them.
And above all the skin of the birds are again the biggest excretory organ with its perspiration and radiation of heat energy; normally we consume the roasted skin of the barbequed or the grilled chicken; it is better to avoid skin of the birds to stay healthy.
