MosquesThe Baith ul Haram
9.107 And those who erected Mosque@ to cause evil, to help in transgression, to create schisms among the believers and to make it a refuge for those who rebelled against Allah and His messenger, say, ?By Allah, we certainly intend not but good? - but surely Allah witnesses against them as ?liars!?
@ Today there are these ?mosques? of various denominations much greater in numbers than the religious divisions itself, that rebel against Allah?s decree that you shall not fall into schisms 6/159; each of these mosques are shelters to those who transgress and wish dissent and divisions in the path of Allah and who defied the guidance of His messengers. And Allah says to us not to stand in such mosques; and further Allah guides us to the real mosques which is definitely a gift of God to us all. The houses we have constructed is a gift from Him to us for, from the beginning of its foundation we lay every stone with reverence and piety for Allah; and after the construction, before we enter into it, we seek Allah?s protection and enter in it with fear for Allah and with prayers, remembering and invoking every one of His Names. And the households remember Him and chant His Names at times of crises. They restrain from evil and maintain purity at heart while calling upon Allah during distresses - and Allah says, ?There is Your House, as a gift from Me.? Therefore we are to stay and make our houses as mosques - as the ?gift of Allah? and stand firm in it by His Names, fearing Him - thus purifying The House i.e., make each of your houses ?Bait ul haram?.
9.108 Therefore never stand in the Mosque ever; but assuredly there is this Mosque - The House of God constructed in piety from the beginning which is absolutely worthy for you to stay; and those who dwell in it wish cleanliness and purity. And Allah does love the people, Pure.
9.109 Who is best - The one who constructed with piety, seeking Allah?s contentment as foundation or the one who sought his own over-riding pride as base? And it will fall into hell along with him, crumbling; and Allah does not guide the wicked.

The Day 1 Of Ramadhan
Read 2.185 and clarify first to a great extent possible on our own; and do not ask others; do not follow any one other than what Allah reveals to us in our thinking process; if we know when we think on our own, there is none hearing our thoughts except Allah; He would inform us most questions we ask Him i.e., when we ask within ourselves; when we have some question in our mind it is Allah who sets forth our thoughts in ascent. It is an endless journey for the thought process leads to questions such as why? what? when? where? how and so on, without a pause. If we are believesr that God will listen to and answer our prayers, then will He not answer when we ask Him to show us His path? Will He deny His path to us? What is our answer? He will not deny. Yes this is the answer from Allah to us all. So we follow Allah; and not the people around us.
We shall go on asking questions within us for which Allah alone shall answer, if Allah knows we would only follow Him when the answer comes from Him...
2.185
The month of Ramadhan is that in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever envisions let him fast therein, and whoever is ill or on a journey - then on other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that to which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.Concentrate on the blue highlight alone.
A month comprises of 30 days of the calendar year of 365 days; you can take one month comprising of consecutive 30 days out of the 12 months; or you can pick up 30 specific days of utmost important to you to show your gratitude to Allah, out of the 365 days. These important days are such days when Allah reveals a verse of the Quran to you or a part of the verse of Quran that clearly elevates you to a better level of understanding about the various verses during the course of your life through the years.
When one needs guidance it means he expects some difficult situation ahead or he is presently seized with it; as believers we shall know 'no guidance is better than God's'. And Allah's direction to us is go to the Book and read it for the guidance; and while reading keep in your mind your stressful situation i.e., you are 'citing' and 're-citing' your own situation with total application of your mind to the Guidance i.e., the Book of Allah. This 're-citing' is called 'Reciting' as you 'Read' the Book for Guidance. The meaning of Quran is 'Read and Recite' while awaiting only Allah's guidance.
Let us Read the following verse as we Recite each of our own situation to it 6.63 Say "Who is it that delivers you from the darkness of land and sea, when you call upon Him in humility and silent terror and when you said 'If He only delivers us from these we shall truly show our gratitude'?"
33.17 Say, "Who is it that can protect you from Allah if He intends for you an ill or intends for you a mercy?" And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or any helper.
When we surrender to God while reciting the Book, it is He who gives us the wisdom and it is He who transforms the wisdom into functional knowledge with clarity and clear proof that guides us wade through the difficulties without a difficulty. So whoever sights the revelation of the verses as they re-cite Quran, let them fast on that Days of Ramadhan.
Each individual has his own stress and strain; one's suffering is never the same as that of another; and so for each the guidance differs; and the Book is the guidance to all the people of all the worlds; and the timing of the delivery of the guidance to each is with Allah - and when it is delivered by Allah, that is the day when of the Quran is revealed to you; and that is the Day One of your RAMADHAN.

The Musjid ul Haram 10.87
10.87 So We sent down Our Command to Musa and his brother ?Both of you build for your people houses in the city; and make your houses, ?the Qibla? - the direction of worship! And in it establish the Command of your God firmly - and give glad tiding to the believers.?
Qibla - The Direction of Worship. The houses in which we are given shelter, rest, food, peace, love of life and solace to the heart 106/1-4 are the gift of Allah to each of us; they are not our houses but Allah?s Grace. And by Allah?s leave keep your houses pure for Allah and safeguard them from shaitans? allurements; and let the households fear Allah all the time they abide therein. They are the God-given sanctuaries for the believers wherefrom they set out during rain and sunshine 106/2. And wherever you are - seek in your prayers to Allah, directing all your faces and thoughts with all your hearts 2/126, 144, towards the purity and safety of your houses and of the households - thus keep them aloft as your ?Bait ul Haram?. And observe in it Allah?s command in total surrender and in abject subjugation - sujud, in your Bait ul Haram so as to transform it into the Musjid ul Haram.

Firaun's body or The Firaun himself?
10.92 ?But on this day, We will preserve about you@ for the generations that will follow; surely most among mankind are negligent toward Our Signs.?
@ Today there are claims that the ?mummy? of Firaun was found to have been in Egypt; and it has been found out to be among the preserved mummies until recently before the scientists and the archeologists conceptualized that the salt content of the mummy proved it was the body rescued from the red-sea some six thousand years ago - yet it is immaterial from the Quran point of view. We know all about Firaun until this day and we are able to witness many, many more ?Firauns? in the arena of the world leaders who bomb and blitz the nations, cities and towns and every village; and kill and silence the peace loving innocent children, the women, the young and the old and capture and torture them in no man?s lands. The world has to be saved from the Firauns; at least for Musa there was a sea route to cross across to a safe land; but now only there is the sky route to mount upon. Believe in Allah more and fear Him more; He might cleave asunder the skies for us and make the wisdom dawn in us to excel every living creature on this earth by His leave, the Most Exalted. This is the Sign of Firaun that Allah has preserved for us; the body of Firaun will not speak anything; but what Allah has revealed about Firaun proves to be true, that we witness the likes of Firaun everywhere. Only the prayer of Musa and Harun 10/88 to Allah will save us, if we are true in our claim to be believers And Musa said, ?Our God, You have given to Firaun and his chieftains the embellishments and wealth of this world and therewith O our God, they make them stray away from Your path; our God, destroy their wealth and straiten their hearts; and they will not believe until they suffer a chastising punishment.?

11.41 Finally when the oven overflowed@, We said, ?Embark pairs of every livestock in the ship - except upon whom Our word has foregone, embark in it of your family and of the believers.? Except for a very few most did not believe with him.
@ Overflowing oven denotes such period when the flourishing wealth and the great numbers of the disbelievers made them overwhelmingly rejoice in their transgression and oppression(23/54,55,56) (9/25) (57/20).

Prophets were never killed by the disbelievers And Allah has never let down any of His Prophets
11.59 Such are the Aad - they rejected the Signs of their God and schemed against His messengers@; and they surrendered to every froward potentate.
@ Though Allah has mentioned Hud as their prophet, it is well concluded from the ayat above that there were messengers sent for them nationwide for every tribe (14/4). Every prophet brings the Book with them along with the Book that preceded him, purified of the human hands. Its example is mentioned in 3/3, 48; 5/11. Thus every nation belied their prophets and the Books they brought with them that which were given to the previous prophets; and plotted against all the Signs of Allah with a view to stripping them off and killing their prophethood and reduce their prophets to mere liars. Since Allah has said every prophet is no other than humans like any of us except that they are inspired through wahi - the intuition, which makes them a prophet or a messenger; so the disbelievers plotted against each of their prophethood in the first place (21/3; 23/24, 33, 3. And this is evident from the many ayats where Allah asks the disbelievers why then they had killed the prophets before 2/61,91; 3/21, 112, 181; 4/155. Going by all these verses it is not to be construed that any of the prophets were killed physically by the disbelievers but they only belied the Books and the Signs or the verses therein and thus tried killing their prophethood. Every prophet was saved by Allah from physical killing, the example of which is given in the narration of Prophet Isa (4/157).

Reap the Best out of your Dreams Follow Prophet Yusuf
12.38 ?I am following the righteous path of my forefathers Ibrahim, Ishaq, Yaqub; it does not befit us associating anything to Allah - this, a Mercy upon us and upon all the people from Allah; but most men show not gratitude.?
12.39 ?O the two companions of prison! which is good - presence of different gods differing, or Allah, the One God, Supreme??
12.40 ?Those whom you worship besides Him are but what you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent down a proof for them; No one has the Authority, except the One, Allah; and He has ordained that none shall be called upon but Him - this is the straight path. But most men understand this not.?
From 12/38-40 is the essence and part of the Book, Al Quran given to the Prophet Yusuf, which he delivered to the prisoner companions, before the interpretation of their dreams is decreed by Allah; one of the two prisoners has accepted the prophet?s message while the other differed. This admonition goes on in the prison, for a term appointed for them; finally the Judgment Hour arrives for the two and Allah passes the decree upon both through His prophet, Yusuf. If only the other has not differed with the prophet, His decree would have been different, and the explanation of his dream would have been beautiful. He would not have been crucified, but freed for a prosperous life as one who would have fed the birds, rather than the birds feeding on him. We have to follow the prophet Yusuf by adhering to the three ayats 12/38-40 to get all beauteous things in our lives from our dreams and save ourselves from the disastrous consequences of our dreams. Before Allah?s decrees is passed on our dreams, we shall take care not to differ with our prophet Yusuf.
12.41 ?O my two companions of prison, one of you will serve his master with wine; and the other will be crucified and the birds will eat of his head; the matter is decided whereon ye twain enquire.?

Shirt against shirt
12.93 ?Take this, my shirt@ and put it on my father?s face and he will regain sight; and bring all your kindred to me.?
@ Yusuf gave his shirt he wore at a time when he was sold to Aziz of Misr as an innocent child, whose bodily fragrance his father could never forget and asked his brothers to put it on his father?s face to smell his presence; only this will ascertain his father, that Yusuf, his dear son is alive and make his father become lively from his gloom of grief with his sight now brightening. The shirt gains prominence here because, it is one of the shirts of Yusuf upon which his brothers smeared false blood to make his father believe that Yusuf was eaten by a wolf.

Follow Prophet YusufFall not to eye specialists!
12.96. Then when the bringer of good news, cast the shirt on his face, he regained his sight@. He said, ?Did I not say to you, I know from Allah that which you do not know??
@ Old age sight defects are due to worry, sadness, fear about gloomy future, continued grief over the loss of what you had doted. If one has old aged sight defects, he shall by the leave of Allah get relieved of all the above emotions to get his or her sight back.

Do you think you're doing some good deed by telling the elderly or people with sight problems to reject the technologies that Allah has taught people which can help them improve their vision and live a better life and be grateful to Allah? Allah takes credit in the Qur'an for putting the ships on the sea, these are all creations of Allah. Medical treatments, glasses, and other technologies like hearing aids and other things have helped people lots, and people should be grateful to God for them. I find it really quite sinful to tell people to reject medicine if they are sick, when it is Allah who is behind all these technologies which can help people. Prosthetic limbs, metal plates, certain medicines, and much more.

Welcome!
I think I am doing the best not only to the elderly people but the youngest ones too. I was only quoting of the Sign 12/96 from the Signs of Quran.
Has Allah taught the technologies, that works on fire? Show me an ayat to confirm your assertion. I think Allah has created all living things out of water 24/45 is what Quran says about creations. All fiery things are from jinns and the jinns are the masters of the fiery technologies. And most mankind have become companions to his illusionary misadventure 6/128 - their missionaries of machineries. Show me an ayat now to assert your claim that Allah has asked you to turn away and follow your technologies that run on fire and not return to Him at all, before we proceed to the rest of your tales below.

(Yes, "ships" run over the sea water, but they are a "technology" usually credited to humans, but Allah takes credit for them, and "All" things are created by Allah, the good and the bad.)1620
"Created Nothing"Allah the acclaimed inventor of everything also takes credit for "fire" here
3680and has used the element of fire in several ways, such as in the case with Musa, and then extensively in hell, making "garments of fire" and other things.
Jinn are made of a fiercely hot fire the way humans are made out of clay, that doesn't mean "Jinn are the masters of fiery technology" and "humans are the masters of clay technology", nothing like that has ever been said in the Qur'an, but instead Allah is seen repeatedly taking credit for "All" meaning everything in existence, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, fire, water, clay, art, technology, ships, shops, economy, everything is the invention and creation of God, nothing else creates anything. Even if a human is credited with a discovery or invention, it is God who made it so, it is not a human who created anything at all.

Do not be like the people who credit jinn as creators. (I know you don't worship them, but you are attributing creation to them when Allah is the sole creator, they did not create or produce any of these ideas, God alone did, even if jinn were involved or humans were involved in getting ideas or taking actions it is God doing All, All is from God, All creation, Everything, there is no other producer, inventor, or creator of anything good or evil, be it thoughts, actions, events, technologies, or anything else, and Allah is the one who operates them in every detail, if a technology does not work one day it is Allah who is causing that, and if it does work, it is Allah who is causing that. Islam is about eliminating from yourself the tendency to think wrongly and fall into shirk, attributing creation to other powers when there are no other powers, everything is powerless to act it is God alone who acts and performs everything, is the only power, holds up the birds, and grows out the beards, makes the electricity flow through the wires, the jinns can not do anything, nor can the humans, it is Allah doing everything, the jinns and the humans only do what Allah wills, willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly, as God chooses and decides everything).1620
They can not create anything.2868
They can't choose, decide, or determine anything.7630 and 8129
They can not even WILL to do anything, they can not even DESIRE a thing except if Allah wills them to desire it, even the desires are a creation of God.There is no power but God, there is no strength but God, there is nothing to fear but God, there is no creator but God, there is no hope but God, there is no savior but God, there is no harm but God, there is no refuge or escape but God, there is no place, no sanctuary, no haven, no peace, but God, but God, but God, but God!

That does not mean the rejection of God's medicine, just like God gave Noah the knowledge to build a ship rather than simply making him and the animals fly in the sky or walk on water which also was possible. God gives the technology too, it is a creation of God, so if someone is sick they should not reject the medicine and suffer out of foolish arrogance, rejecting the gifts of God which have helped humanity.
This is why it is wrong to tell someone to die when they have the option to take the medicine and thank God for the medicine, as it is God who produced it and informed people by whatever means, and God who made it work. Not jinn, not humans, but God alone.
To say to God "no! I want it this way, not another way" is just arrogance, and even that arrogance is from God too, and the misguidance as well, and thinking you are right, and whatever else. Same goes for me.
"No! I won't take the medicine! I want you to give it to me a certain way!"
It isn't right, and it isn't right to tell people to do that either or make them doubt that God alone is the power, the creator, the giver of everything, the inventor of everything.
Even if evil things are invented by a human or anything else, it is still God behind all of it. The Qur'an repeatedly makes this evident in so many statements, but even if it hadn't it is the case if anyone uses their common sense and logic and has a correct concept and is not prone to "shirk" or the "sharing" of attributed powers or acts with other than God as creators or performers.
We are in a situation where we are entirely under the control of God even if we don't realize it, the jinn included, and you are using a technology based on the "fire" of electricity and electrical signals right now. So don't be silly about these things, but will you listen? I doubt it really.
You probably have some grudge with me, and I also don't like how you've approached me multiple times, so don't worry about convincing me of anything, because if you say ANYTHING other than "All is from God" and ANYTHING other than "Allah alone holds sway, power, and control over everything" and ANYTHING other than "Everything that is, is the will of God, there is no other will but God's will and no other strength or power but God's power" and ANYTHING other than "God alone control harm and benefit, good and evil", I will not concede to it insha'Allah, and I will not perform idiotic logical errors which are shirk.
So either abide strictly by what I am telling you from the Qur'an, or else you are denying that "All is from God" that "God created everything" that "God controls everything" and much more. You are attributing other creators, other actors, other wills besides the will of God

and so on and so forth.
So don't think I am mocking, and don't think you can ever "beat" me at what I am teaching, which is pure non-shirk.
This is not a competition where out of envy or anything else you might think it is wise to attack me or try to "teach" me anything while not paying attention to what I am saying.
What I am telling you is for your benefit and the benefit of all the people watching, but anyone who says "Jinn created this, it is not from God, when you are sick reject medicine for this reason or any other reason" this is both senseless, wrong, and full blown shirk, spreading both disease spiritually and physically.
I also understand if you do not change your stance to what I am telling you, it is due to God who has constrained you just as God has constrained me, but this is something to realize, not to be proud of that God has put the curse of shirk into the mouths of some people or into their understanding. It is a dreadful thing, and God is the one who should be feared, and only God can save you and save your mind.
I'm very sorry if it sounds harsh, and you'll probably come up with some annoying or insulting reply, and I really don't care at all except that you're increasing in sin if you don't simply say "Yes, Allah alone is the creator and the power, the jinn and the humans have not really invented anything, and the technologies (good or evil, harmful or beneficial) are all from God ultimately and entirely, there are no partners with God".
Then we are on the same terms, and you are saying something right. If you defy that, then you are performing shirk, and sufficient is Allah to me, anything other than what I am saying or similar will not insha'Allah be acknowledged by me or "respected" in the least.
You know why I'm so vicious man? Because I DESPISE SHIRK. God has put such a hatred in my heart for shirk that I can understand the violence performed by Ibrahim in his demonstrations. Shirk is an abomination, and it is not out of love of God even, but hating lies and hating self-deception that I wish for the destruction of shirk and all the followers of shirk.
You should be vicious like me too towards the same things, rather than being mean to me or harassing me or annoying me. If I'm a devil with fangs and wild eyes, it is the throat of shirk I will tear open and let its black blood spill and spit it back in its ugly face. Lies are despicable, especially in a world where we already have so much trouble, we don't need lies and liars on top of it.
So your options are as follows
Either conform to what I am saying or
Deny what I am saying (you are performing shirk then openly).
If you want to make me angry, it is easy, simply pronounce blasphemies and utter shirk, and watch me roar and be filled with rage.
If you want to make me happy, simply say "Allah alone is the power, there is no power but Allah, no creator but Allah, all inventions belong to Allah, all deeds go back to Allah, Allah can harm us, Allah can benefit us, nothing else can harm us or benefit us, everything in the heavens and the earth and all that is in between, all creation, it all is from Allah, there is no other giver of experiences, information, events, thoughts, deeds."
If you do not do this, then you are not making me happy.

9.24 - Say .......then await a command from Allah; and Allah guides not the sinners.
in this two verse Allah guides us that He will not guide the evildoers/sinners. what i understand from it evildoing or sinning is my rejection/ shirk of God. so when i reject, i shirk God. then i'm not guided by Him but He only allows me in my defiant rejection. it does not mean God blessed the evil, He brings chances for me to mend else i have to meet the end - hell fire.
freedomstands, in all of your posts, i find you stand in Allah alone, except that your saying good and evil also created by Allah. in that i slightly differ, good from Allah blessed and the bad from my rejection, allowed by Allah not blessed by Him. man's invention and creation which brings destruction, evil, hardship, pain, etc., are his rejection / shirk to the One God. i bring one of the verse as a source for my this understanding
2.26 - .....With this He sends many astray; and guides many in the straight path; yet, except the evil ones He shall not let go astray.
our criterion helps in identifying the signs of good and the evil to choose. our today's situation is the result of our choosing in the past. what we choose today is going to be our future; good or bad.

freedomstands, in all of your posts, i find you stand in Allah alone, except that your saying good and evil also created by Allah. in that i slightly differ, good from Allah blessed and the bad from my rejection, allowed by Allah not blessed by Him. man's invention and creation which brings destruction, evil, hardship, pain, etc., are his rejection / shirk to the One God. i bring one of the verse as a source for my this understanding
2.26 - .....With this He sends many astray; and guides many in the straight path; yet, except the evil ones He shall not let go astray.
our criterion helps in identifying the signs of good and the evil to choose. our today's situation is the result of our choosing in the past. what we choose today is going to be our future; good or bad.
peace
Let us see if we can bring our difference to 0 so that we are in line with one another.
When one says "it is from me" they are basically saying a few things
"I have the power to alter what happens, thus influence God and God follows after me"
"God does not control everything, but relies on another power, which can be called Chance, which means "it can go this way or it can go that way", and thus God is not the Ultimate Determiner, but Chance is, therefor I do not worship God, but Chance, whatever is the Ultimate Determiner"
There is just no way around it, it can not be stated in any other way than what I am saying. If one claims "this thing is not from God in any way" then they are stating the existence of some other source of creation.
The Qur'an itself flatly states "All is from God" ALL, ALL, ALL. It does not say "some" it does not say "most" it says ALL. It says it in reply to people saying "the good is from God, the bad is from yourselves" then it says "ALL IS FROM GOD" and says "WHAT IS WITH YOU THAT YOU CAN'T GRASP IT?" and then repeats "THE GOOD FROM GOD, THE BAD FROM YOURSELVES". It did not just contradict itself one verse later, it said basically that silly people say "the good is from God, the evil is from yourself" and then said to reply to that "ALL IS FROM GOD" then said "THE GOOD FROM GOD, THE BAD FROM YOU" meaning "ALL is from GOD, the GOOD FROM GOD is from God, the Bad from you is from God".
The Qur'an makes this clear in other verses which I have shown elsewhere and even above. "Any evil that befalls you, in yourselves" is decreed and "brought into existence" by God alone.
Then it says all harm is from God alone.
Then it says you can't even will anything except God wills it.
Then it says they wouldn't do evil, except that God wills them to do it.
Then it says God chooses for guidance whoever, and misguides whoever.
Then it says God created for hell many, created them deaf, dumb, and blind so they can not comprehend anything.
God is not "condition based" is not being "driven" by us, but "driving" us.
God repeatedly says "controls everything" "created everything"
Everything means Everything, not "some things" not "most things" but ALL things, that includes EVERYTHING from your thoughts to your deeds and actions and even your will and desires which is stated explicitly, even in the Bible and other scriptures from around the world besides the Qur'an which states it also repeatedly.
There is just no way around it. It is also Scientific, it is also Common Sense, it is also Logical and the only possible conclusion. There are no other possibilities, because no matter what you will be doing shirk otherwise, you will be attributing things falsely, you will be making God a slave rather than a Master, you'll be making another Master like "Chance", and I worship only the ULTIMATE nothing LESSER, nothing that LOOKS TO OTHERS. The Qur'an says God determines and chooses everything, "no choice had they" no choice whatsoever. If God wants to destroy anyone, it will be Be, if God wants to make an evildoer, it will be.
The Qur'an says God sets up the enemies, God sends the devils and shaitans of human and jinnkind, God does it all, from the carrying of the birds, to the breathing and heartbeat and growth of mankind to the kindling of the fire to the thunder and the sneeze and the fart.
God even takes credit for the "laughter and tears" when it says "He alone causes you to laugh and to weep".
There is no way around it. No matter which way one looks it comes around again, either through Science, Common Sense, Logic, Scripture, or anything else.
We are bound slaves, we are clay vessels, we are animated action figures that God is driving forth wherever God wants.
If you had a choice about ANYTHING it would alter everything everywhere, because even where you STEP is precise, and that moment you have killed a certain insect, and been delayed a certain moment, so that ten days later a car did not hit you had you stepped any sooner or later.
God even says that you will be walked to the place of your death and will die there exactly at the precise moment, it is all determined and measured, there is no altering the course whatsoever.
We're left helpless before the overriding power of God, and those who are made grateful will be grateful and worship and may be saved, but even that God can do anything at all, is bound by nothing at all, totally free, thus can destroy Jesus and his mother as it is claimed in the Qur'an, not bound by any "partners" like how the old polytheists used to name the partners things like "Love" "Justice" or anything else, God creates those concepts, rules them, implants them, changes them, destroys them freely. God is the only Free Will, the only unconditioned Power, there is no power.
All the "names" of God are factual statements. It is not that God is The Great because of our statement of approval, it is that NOTHING has any power or status but GOD. It is Absolute. Again, God alone has the information to literally know and experience accurately the suffering of anyone, literal Compassion which we can not ever have because if we experienced what another experiences, we would BE encompassing that person, and we do not have access to that experience. God is literally the only Judge, literally the only Decider, literally all those names, they are factual logical statements.
So make your religion 0 deviation from these statements, and you'll have 0 shirk in it.
This is because when someone says "I choose"
They are not only defying the statements of the Qur'an which say you never choose, and can not even will anything, and can not even be pure or save yourself in any way, and have no strength or power even to wake up or exist or move except that Allah is doing it all, and not at your command, but you're doing it at the command of Allah, but they are also defying logic and not paying attention to the implications of what they are saying.
If you choose anything, you are then the decider of the bug that gets crushed under your feet, and if it is not you, and it is not God, then it is "Chance" if "it could go this way, or it could go that way" and so then "Chance" is the Ultimate, and then whatever is being called "God" is nothing to worship and is not the determiner at all, but leaves things up to another power, and looks to another power for answers. We worship the Ultimate, we direct our prayers to the Ultimate, not to any lesser concept.
Yes, in the immediate sense, it appears to you and people that we decide this or that, but this is not actually what is happening. In a very atheistic scientific sense, all our decisions are "conditional" they are based on a domino effect of "causation" and prior conditions that are all created by God.
In the actual sense, God is directly generating all the information deliberately, nothing is left to "chance" in either form though, it is God then who is "chance" and "free will" and there is no other power or other God whatsoever.
So all shirk must be eliminated. Even at the expense of ideas of justice or whatever might be keeping people from speaking the truth.
God is the source of everything, the creator of everything, there can be NOTHING except if God makes it so, and God wills it.
Otherwise a person is saying "it has slipped out of God's grasp, it is not in God's control, there is another power running things, either me, or whatever else, and God is not doing it, but there are others that do, and act of their own accord, and God only runs after them and supports what they are doing, like a slave runs after a master to put a seat under them".
Blasphemy. Shun it. Abolish it. Make your religion like mine, make 0 deviation between it from the "little deviation" you mentioned, that is just the "little" bit of "shirk" or "sharing" that needs to be eliminated. You will feel the Surrender then perhaps even more, and the Fear of God who can turn any of us into fools and shirk maniacs in an instant, just as God can turn people into apes and pigs or anything else, and adds to or transforms the creation. God does so freely, not based on any merit, not based on any power of anyone, but God did the good deeds, God did the actions, God made them pray or not, God did it all from the start, all credit goes to God, "All is from God" ALL, the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY.
There is no other creator, there is no other power, there is no other will, there is no other actor, there is no other mover, there is no other, there is no other, there is no other.
Make yourself a shirk free robot/slave (robot comes from a word apparently that means slave).
Be the Zombie of Nzambi, knowingly, because you are "willingly or unwillingly" which the Qur'an says.
Be the Fettered One of Regnator Omnium Deus, knowingly, because you are "willingly or unwillingly" which the Qur'an says.
It is the arrogant fools, the ones God has deceived, as only God can deceive or guide, who are "shown" because of their dullness, the fetters around their necks, because they believed they were free to do as they please, while it was God who "led them, step by step" to their destruction.
We are fettered too, bound slaves, chained to whatever God wills for us good or bad, except God has been so kind as to at least inform some of us of our state, and our state, and the state of all things is Eternal Surrender. There is no other way, there is never Freedom from God, there is never another will, if God pulls out the puppeteering hold over us, we fall down dead and limp or cease to exist, we have no existence, we are nothing, we are empty, we are only what God tells us "Know, you know not". If God tells you that you're a Japanese man in 1950, you will be a Japanese man in 1950.
God can make it true that you have a staff in your hand, then can make it false that there is a staff and make it true that there is a snake, then make it false that there is a snake, and true that there is a staff. Total control over "information" and "information" is all we ever are.
God determines the "truth" and the "lies" and can switch them and is constantly rendering things false and other things true. For example, it appears "a moment ago I was saying this" but now it it false that "I am stating this" as I am stating some other thing now, and by this creation and destruction we operate and live.
God is the Supreme Ultimate, there is no other power, there is no other power, there is no other God, there is no other chooser, there is nothing but God alone that can act, we only exist for now because God wills it, and we have no means by which to save ourselves from God, we are in desperate need of God in order to exist and succeed, and God can destroy us freely, Fear God as God is meant to be Feared, there is no other Terror upon us, there is no other Hope. There is no where to Flee, We Surrender, We Surrender, We Surrender.

If Truth/Reality had followed their whims, Heaven and Earth would have collapsed in chaos, along with anyone who is in them. Rather We have brought them their Reminder, yet they keep avoiding their Reminder.Even ONE STEP out of place, would change everything, see the "Butterfly effect" on wikipedia and how the tiniest change can have massive implications.
So it can only be like this

There is just no way around it whatsoever without lying, shirk, ill logic, and ruin.
