    100% Obedience Towards human unity

    Why human unity is of primary importance to achieve the objective of "Successorship"?

    Proof?

    Because on the matter of earth and creation
    Allah commands the angels and Iblees to prostrate to Adam (human - successorship)
    Both are prostrating to Allah.

    Elements

    1. Allah's command
      (The objective of Allah's command in its context is related to the importance of successorship.
      So as the Qur'an, where almost the whole content is about humanity and other living creatures
      on earth; ie. successorship. The Qur'an is not about Allah, but it is about His creations.)

    2. Adam (human - successorship)

    Facts

    1. Angels prostrate to human (successorship) -> Representing the Believers
      (Initially they question Allah's command - 2.30)

    2. Iblees refused to prostrate to successorship -> Representing the Disbelievers
      "..Iblees. He refused
      and was arrogant
      and became of the disbelievers.." (2.34)

    Compared to today's world, which category we belongs to?
    ie. where more than 90% or 100% is about Allah and less than 10% about humanity as a whole.

    What does Adam represent?

    Human ... all of us and regardless of religion, background, caste, race, socio-economic background etc.

    And when your Lord
    took from the children of Adam
    from their loins
    their descendants
    and made them testify of themselves
    , "Am I not your Lord?"
    They said, "Yes, we have testified."

    • lest you should say on the day of Resurrection
      "Indeed, we were of this unaware"
      (7172)

    Conclusion

    The objective is not about Allah, and no one knows what is Allah,
    "..Nor is there to Him any equivalent.." (112.4)

    The importance of obedience to Allah is primarily relevant to the matter of achieving human unity.

    Hablum Minallah towards achieving Hablum Minannas
    as a whole and this is the Deen of Islam (vs. Religion of Islam -> Allah Alone for our salvation).

    The Qur'an Alone or Allah Alone is no use for our salvation...

      Facts comparison

      Argument

      What is good or bad?
      ...
      and so on...
      and it will increase or decrease accordingly... just and balance.

      Therefore, it makes no difference of becoming rich, poor or etc (illusion),
      but all these are related to our level of self satisfaction and "Alhamdu";
      i.e. fulfillment of Deen, raising or decreasing our awareness to our duty (Deen/Dayn/Debt/Duty <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335480#msg335480">and...</a&gt.

      Why are there so many species of bacteria?
      Why is there so many dust?
      Why do we sweat?
      and so as all other problems we are facing today.
      Allah Alone or reading Qur'an Alone will not solve this problem, it is "Theoretical" in nature.

      It is the fulfillment of "Alhamdu" that will lead us to real success (believe and do righteous deeds).

      Example

      The Story of Islamic Aid
      by Mahmood Hassan, Founder and Chairman of Islamic Aid

      I was born and brought up in some of the most deprived areas of Pakistan. During my childhood, I once lived with my grandparents in village 114/15-L, near Mianchannun. My village did not have a school. Each morning I set off on my journey to a neighbouring village so I could go to school. Aged only eight years I walked more than 7km every day so I could receive an education. There were no roads at all ? just a dirt track. The landscape was baron ? and not the green backdrop which is there today. My journey to and from school.

      Not only was the journey hot and dusty, it was filled with fear. At such a young age I had no idea who ? or what ? I would encounter on the way to school, something, I believe, no child should encounter, something that has stayed with me 36 years on, something I do not want other children to encounter.

      Consequence - Duty Awareness "Program"

      I want every child in the world to be successful.

      Human Life = Duty Awareness Program = Deen of Islam

      Qur'an = Introductory Book = Manual = Guidance

      The example of those
      who were entrusted with the Torah
      and then did not take it on
      is like that
      of a donkey
      who carries volumes
      Wretched is the example of the people
      who deny
      the signs of Allah
      And Allah does not guide
      the wrongdoing people
      (625)

      Say, "It is He who has produced you
      and made for you
      hearing
      and vision
      and hearts
      little are you grateful."
      (6723)

      Some thoughts and from the Duty Awareness Program, can each of us discover our life purpose?

      The one that Allah want us to be and easy for us to be successful?

        Peace Brother,

        Salam. Its a just a discussion and not fault findings and I am wrong too, only Allah knows.

        Your Posts carry too much Advertisement and for the Heart it does nothing. I mean intuitions and Truth.
        Can you make people to Muslims by Movement or by Aid etc ?. They think they are doing good things but actually the People change ?
        Are you preaching Islam 5 times Prayer ? Is that so you are following ? Does it bring results ?
        Can u explain practically what your aid does ?.

          No offense intended, but I don't quite understand what is your point.

          Peace brother.

          What is wrong with "benefiting humanity" or even a "group to benefit humanity"?

          There is no religion and it is not about to spread Islam, since Islam is not a religion. It is about to spread peace, harmony and unity in the society. It's about benefiting humanity, kindness to His creation and giving to relatives. This is how people from different backgrounds and traditions are able to accept Islam by our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Unconditional acceptance (respect) of world religious practices and balancing what is just to every living creatures. This is "Din of Islam".

            http//www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/more.htm

            All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

              what is islam?
              http//www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/more.htm

              Quite simply, it is a book all about us, discussing our creation, purpose, history, spirituality, psyche, life's big questions, justice, governance etc. It is a guide on how to realise our potential, individually and collectively, if one chooses to seek this path; http//www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/more.htm

              Thanks

              (The objective of Allah's command in its context is related to the importance of successorship.
              So as the Qur'an, where almost the whole content is about humanity and other living creatures
              on earth; ie. successorship. The Qur'an is not about Allah, but it is about His creations.)

                <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335950#msg335950">Pleasure</a> appears good but we cannot ignore reasoning about what is really good; according to the Qur'an - "I know that which you do not know" (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt.

                For the above reason we are able to say that there is a deep connection between "<a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335950#msg335950">pleasure</a>" (from good or bad) and the Qur'an. The understanding of this connection depends entirely on our ability to understand life as explained in the Qur'an ... to understand the Qur'an objectively, i.e. successorship and towards human unity (Adam).

                Say He has power to send torment on you
                from above
                or from under your feet
                or to cover you with confusion in party strife
                and make you to taste
                the violence of one another <- against unity
                See how variously We explain the Ayat
                so that they may understand.
                (<a href="http//quran.com/6/65">665</a&gt

                Thus it is reasonable to claim our life is the "Dictionary" for the Qur'an and it requires fulfillment of certain conditions before we are able to use our dictionary. It requires us to shut off the "<a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335263#msg335263">gods and ulemas inside us</a>" (shirk).

                Have you seen
                he who has taken as his god his desire
                and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge
                and has set a seal
                upon his hearing
                and his heart
                and put over his vision a veil?
                So who will guide him after Allah?
                Then will you not be reminded?
                (<a href="http//quran.com/45/23">4523</a&gt

                Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN.
                In a protected Book. <- Dictionary -> our life experiences
                None can grasp it
                except
                those purified (<a href="http//quran.com/9/28">from polytheism</a&gt
                (<a href="http//quran.com/56/77-79">5677-79</a&gt

                The ability to shut off the gods and ulemas inside ourselves depends on "Spiritual", Spirit and Ritual.

                Spirit the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul.

                Ritual a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according
                to a prescribed order.

                So much so that our physical bodies need foods to survive, "Spiritual" is the foods for our souls.

                  The Flow of Ideas

                  Basically, Shirk relates to "ideas" that are inconsistent and against the ideas in the Qur'an. It is the "gods and ulamas inside ourselves" that count. Nothing can harm our relationship with Allah if we are not accepting these inconsistent "ideas" (<a href="http//quran.com/5/105">5105</a&gt.

                  Consequence Self Acceptance Human Ideas Self Action (Conduct)
                  vs. Qur'an Ideas

                  No Shirk <- Internal Self <- Consistent <- Prophet Sulaiman build statues
                  (Acceptance) Ideas for communication (<a href="http//quran.com/34/10-16">3410-16</a&gt

                  Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Stone as God
                  (Acceptance) Ideas

                  Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Fire as God
                  (Acceptance) Ideas

                  Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Shiva as God
                  (Acceptance) Ideas

                  Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Jesus as God
                  (Acceptance) Ideas

                  Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Follow the Ulama (Arbab)
                  (Acceptance) Ideas (<a href="http//quran.com/3/150">3150</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/3/64">364</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/17/56-57">1756-57</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/23/47">2347</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/40/29">4029</a&gt
                  http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
                  Gods & Ulamas (<a href="http//quran.com/45/23">4523</a&gt
                  (Personal Adviser)
                  http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
                  Level for Determination
                  http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
                  "..Allah has not put for any man two hearts inside his body.." (<a href="http//quran.com/33/4">334</a&gt
                  http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
                  Heart

                  Therefore, the gods and ulamas are within ourselves. It is the "ideas" that are inconsistent with the Qur'anic Ideas.

                  Therefore our primary question in life is how far we are able to control the ideas within ourselves?

                  For the sake of testing ourselves and to realize the gods and ulamas inside ourselves, try to stop eating, drinking and sleeping for 3 straight days (72 hours). Are we able to achieve this target or we are still hypocrites? This is not suggested by the Qur'an, and only a simple self-test to prove the existence of gods and ulamas inside ourselves. A simple test to realize the flow of ideas within ourselves and how far we are able to control these ideas.

                  Do the people think
                  that they will be left to say,
                  "We believe"
                  and they will not be tried?

                  But We have certainly tried those before them
                  and Allah will surely make evident
                  those who are truthful
                  and He will surely make evident
                  the liars

                  Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
                  Evil is what they judge
                  (<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

                    Islam For Dummies (With Chart)

                    The Flow of Ideas
                    Continue from <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335472#msg335472">1</a> and <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335571#msg335571">2</a>

                    http//s16.postimg.org/h375brtmt/venns.png

                    Thus "Just and Balance" has no religion, it is our way of life..

                    It is "Islam"

                    It is also the main element of every religion, and to a certain extent

                    • Buddha is promoting just and balance (water)
                    • Christian is promoting just and balance (air)
                    • Hindu is promoting just and balance (fire)
                    • Sunni religion is promoting just and balance (fire)
                    • Shia religion is promoting just and balance (fire)
                    • Judaism is promoting just and balance (earth)
                    • Atheism is promoting just and balance (water)
                    • Everyone and every religion is promoting just and balance

                    Nonetheless, what went wrong?

                    Why these religions disregarding the element of "just and balance" in other religion?

                    It is because of "religion" .. the "God Alone" (Allah Alone) concept ... this is Religion.

                    Striving what is "just and balance" to their personal religion, and not as a whole..

                    Every religion and sects are striving for what is right and wrong on each separate element
                    ...
                    Based on the above, all of them are right.. but only to certain extent.

                      Example of Quranic Ideas

                      How far we are able to control the flow of these ideas in ourselves?

                      We can't, unless we are able to cleanse our nafs, mind (subconscious), heart and reprogram it according to the Qur'an. Therefore, this requires <a href="http//quran.com/13/28">spirituality</a> and an obedience to Allah. It requires us to observe the <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335603#msg335603">"DO NOT" prohibition</a>. It requires total submission, i.e. Islam. It is Allah who will help us to control these ideas and saves us from Shirk.

                      Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. (<a href="http//quran.com/1/5">15</a&gt

                      Serve to Allah comes first (<a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335266#msg335266">Islam - obedience</a&gt.
                      Only then... Allah will help us.

                      Say Lay me not under obligation by your Islam
                      rather Allah lays you under an obligation
                      by guiding you to the faith
                      if you are truthful
                      (<a href="http//quran.com/49/17">4917</a&gt

                        Islam For Dummies (With Chart)

                        The ideas of peace, harmony and unity in the society.

                        The ideas of benefiting humanity, kindness to His creation and giving to relatives.

                        God commands

                        justice
                        CREATING BALANCE
                        in the society

                        benefiting
                        humanity

                        kindness
                        to His creation

                        and giving
                        to relatives

                        (1690)

                        A Muslim must now learn how to become Negotiator, Mediator and Conciliator. There is no religion and it is not about to spread Islam, since Islam is not a religion. It is about to spread peace, harmony and unity in the society. It's about benefiting humanity, kindness to His creation and giving to relatives. This is how people from different backgrounds and traditions are able to accept Islam by our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Unconditional acceptance (respect) of world religious practices and balancing what is just to every living creatures. This is "Din of Islam".

                        When Being Wrong Is Right

                        And when We said to the angels
                        Make obeisance to Adam
                        they did obeisance <- <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335256#msg335256">Associating Allah with Adam</a>

                        He refused
                        and he was proud
                        and he was one of the unbelievers
                        (234)

                        • The importance of Spirituality (water) & Communication/Humanism (Air) Salt water oceans make up 71% of the Earth?s surface. However, it should exceed 71% if it includes the freshwater lakes and glaciers that cover the Earth?s surface. The air is everywhere and takes up space. These indicate the importance of spirituality and communication or humanism in our life.

                        The core of the Earth is fire (religion/God Alone ideas etc.) and relates to the following concept, "Mind our own business" (<a href="http//quran.com/5/105">5105</a&gt. This because if we are giving primary importance to the fire elements, it will burn this whole world down. War and hatred etc., and soon there will be no living creatures on Earth.

                        In case following the Sunnatullah is the right way
                        please show in logical ways from the Quran

                        1. How to follow the Sunnatullah without disobeying other terms in the Quran
                        2. How to extract and apply the "system" of Sunnnatullah ("just and balance&quot in "ourselves".

                          Salam Bender,

                          Sorry for interrupting

                          Salaamun alayka,

                          I thought you were finished talking with me or did I misunderstood your last comment to me hmm

                          but you are comparing Allah with Adam in a same category,

                          really? hmm I did not notice that.
                          Can you please quote that post of mine where I did that, and give the specific part a red color so that I can see it myself.

                          and I just wondering where does it say in the Qur'an that Allah belongs to the category of a "Successor"?

                          This is so since this category or the word successor indicates that Allah "inherits" His authority or He can be replaced or substituted.

                          Did you actually understood what I was saying?

                          Salaam,
                          Bender

                            Can you please quote that post of mine where I did that, and give the specific part a red color so that I can see it myself.

                            "a successor" and "My successor" are not the same.
                            Is there anyone who can succeed Allah?

                            You are raising the issue of whether "a successor" or "My successor" "can succeed Allah".

                            This is a comparison of Allah in the same category with human, and on the issue of successorship.

                            Have I missed something?

                            Please explain.

                            Did you actually understood what I was saying?

                            Do you understand what is a "successor" in (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt?

                            There is no issue who can succeed Allah.

                            It is not about who can succeed Allah, it is about succeed those who have come before Adam.

                            I believe the word successor is referring to the following facts, They (angels) said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood" (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt. Thus, Adam (and his descendants) are part of His creation and which succeeds those who have come before them.

                            Therefore, what difference does it make to Allah whether it is "a successor" or "My successor"? What's it got to do with to succeed Allah?

                            Have I missed something?

                            Please explain.

                            Peace brother.

                              I think you are in the wrong forum or at least I am the wrong person for that kind of proofs.

                              You are raising the issue of whether "a successor" or "My successor" "can succeed Allah".

                              This is a comparison of Allah in the same category with human, and on the issue of successorship.

                              Have I missed something?

                              Please explain.

                              You put words in my mouth and then I have to explain myself for that hmm
                              Maybe it's an option for you to do some exercises in comprehensive reading.
                              Or maybe it is me who has to do some exercises in comprehensive writing.

                              Do you understand what is a "successor" in (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt?

                              There is no issue who can succeed Allah.

                              It is not about who can succeed Allah, it is about succeed those who have come before Adam.

                              Therefore, what difference does it make to Allah whether it is "a successor" or "My successor"? What's it got to do with to succeed Allah?

                              Have I missed something?

                              Please explain.

                              Maybe it is better for you to read my discussion with drfazl first, just an option.

                              Peace brother.

                                There are no explanations or facts, and I'm not interested in further discussion unless you understand what is "Asma Ul Husna" and a "successor".

                                  2 questions if you don't mind

                                  1. Do you take Wiki and the hadiths of Bukharie & Co as evidence to prove something about Allah?

                                  2. Did you read the discussion between me and drfazl earlier in this thread about khalifa?

                                  salaam,

                                    I have given you my reference and release my burden of proof.

                                    Now the question, do you understand what is "Asma Ul Husna"?

                                    What is your reference to refute the definition?

                                    Do you mind, are you a born Muslim or converted?

                                    Secondly, where did I say I refute the whole argument?

                                    I'm specifically referring to your statement and the issue of "successor" and "who can succeed Allah".

                                    Peace brother.

                                    Allah The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604

                                    Salaamun alayka,

                                    Do you have a verse for this statement?

                                    Not specifically and I'm referring to the asma ul husna.

                                    As I said, the "asma ul husna"

                                    It is true, the specific words are not in the Qur'an

                                    My conclusion is that al3adl is not an Al-Asma Al-Husa.

                                      Alhamdullillah, I believe Allah give me enough knowledge to understand what AlAsma AlHusna are.

                                      What is your reference to refute the definition?

                                      If you mean to refute the traditional 99 names, then my reference is ofcourse The Quran, what else?

                                      Do you mind, are you a born Muslim or converted?

                                      I do not understand what you mean with Muslim? Do you mean born in a sunni/shia country? If so yes I was born in Morocco.

                                      Secondly, where did I say I refute the whole argument?

                                      where did I say that you did that? hmm

                                      I'm specifically referring to your statement and the issue of "successor" and "who can succeed Allah".

                                      I will give it a last try.

                                      "Who can succeed Allah?" was a rhetorical question in case you did not understood that.
                                      My whole point in the discussion with drfazl is that Allah has NO khalifa.
                                      230 says He will place a successor on earth, NOT His successor nope BUT A successor yes.
                                      Because 230 and other verses NEVER say MY successor, it is for sure it is not a successor who succeeds Allah, but a successor who succeeds something/one else.
                                      THUS not related to Allah.

                                      InshaAllah it is now also clear for you what I meant.

                                      Peace brother.

                                      Salaam,

                                        Alhamdullillah, I believe Allah give me enough knowledge to understand what AlAsma AlHusna are.

                                        So what is your definition of "Asma Ul Husna", and which is common to all Muslims understandings?

                                        I've already repeated the same question for many times. nope

                                        If you mean to refute the traditional 99 names, then my reference is ofcourse The Quran, what else?

                                        Where did I say I didn't refer to the traditional 99 names?

                                        Since when Muslims have the "traditional Asma Ul Husna" and "modern Asma Ul Husna"?

                                        You didn't understand after I repeatedly answer your question below? hmm

                                        Please give me a reference to your new version of "Asma Ul Husna".

                                        If so yes I was born in Morocco.

                                        What does "Asma Ul Husna" referred to in Morocco?

                                        Is it not the same 99 names of Allah as Muslims understands today?

                                        "Who can succeed Allah?" was a rhetorical question in case you did not understood that.

                                        It is weird when you are trying to make a point by comparing Allah with or as equal to human. nope

                                        Secondly, where did I say I refute the whole argument?

                                        I'm specifically referring to your statement and the issue of "successor" and "who can succeed Allah"

                                        Do you understand what is a "successor" in (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt?

                                        There is no issue who can succeed Allah.

                                        It is not about who can succeed Allah, it is about succeed those who have come before Adam.

                                        I believe the word successor is referring to the following facts, They (angels) said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood" (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a&gt. Thus, Adam (and his descendants) are part of His creation and which succeeds those who have come before them.

                                        Therefore, what difference does it make to Allah whether it is "a successor" or "My successor"? What's it got to do with to succeed Allah?

                                        Peace brother.

                                          Salam Bender, handshake

                                          So what is your definition of "Asma Ul Husna",

                                          Salaamun alayka,

                                          My definition of AlAsma AlHusna = The Best Identifiers

                                          In The Quran AlAsma AlHusna is always referring to Allah, for example
                                          208
                                          The red word is spoken as "Lahu" and it means something like "To Him belongs". Thus "The Best Identifiers" belong to Him.
                                          Where can we find AlAsma AlHusna that belong to Him?

                                          answer
                                          Allah warns us several times in The Quran that His Guidance is The Guidance (2120).
                                          The Quran is one of the guidance's Allah sent down on us (2185 in combination with 1037).
                                          Wikipedia and Bukarie & Co can not be proven from the verses of The Quran that they are a guidance sent by Allah to us, therefore I dismiss them as a reference in any matter when we talk about the truth. In this case we (you and me) are talking about Allah, therefore I am not allowed to say something about Allah which is not from Him. I fear to spread lies about Allah. Allah warrens me through The Quran not to spread lies about Him. Wikipedia and Bukharie & co are not from Allah but The Quran is. Therefore if you like to talk with me about Allah then please use verses from The Quran to proof your point everything else is of no use for me.

                                          Al3adl does not refer to Allah a single time in The Quran. But it refers to other things besides Allah. So why should I take it an AlAsma AlHusna if it never refers to Allah in the Quran? Is it because Wiki and Bukharie & Co said so?
                                          Both question are rhetorical questions in case of....

                                          This is how I understand it, I think I have answered you more then you asked. And inshaAllah it is now clear to you how I understand AlAsma AlHusna.
                                          If you have a different view on the matter then that is totally ok with me and we will end this discussion as we will never agree handshake

                                          and which is common to all Muslims understandings?

                                          I think the 99 names mentioned on this link is common to all Muslims IF you meant with Muslims the sunni/shia/etc. people.

                                          I've already repeated the same question for many times. nope

                                          No you did not.
                                          I can not read your brains so when you ask me something ask me very clear.
                                          You did not ask me the above questions a single time.

                                          Where did I say I didn't refer to the traditional 99 names?

                                          what is this?
                                          Are we playing a "were did I say that ...?" game?
                                          You are putting again words in my mouth and then ask me a "were did I say that ...?" question.
                                          Please stop it.

                                          Since when Muslims have the "traditional Asma Ul Husna" and "modern Asma Ul Husna"?

                                          I don't know about other Muslims, I can only talk for myself.

                                          You didn't understand after I repeatedly answer your question below? hmm

                                          I have no idea what you are talking about.

                                          Please give me a reference to your new version of "Asma Ul Husna".

                                          A couple of weeks ago I made this thread .
                                          Above the two lines are as per my current understanding AlAsma Alhusna that belong to Him.
                                          Maybe I forgot some, but that is what I could find till now. If you think I missed one then please let me know with a reference to the Quran verse and I will add it inshaAllah, this is not only for you but for everyone who reads this, thx!!!

                                          Also this is how I currently understand, if you have a better version then please let me know and I will be inshaAllah the first one to acknowledge if I can comprehend how you or someone else sees it.

                                          What does "Asma Ul Husna" referred to in Morocco?

                                          see the wiki link above, I believe the majority of Moroccans believe in the Wiki version.

                                          Is it not the same 99 names of Allah as Muslims understands today?

                                          No not how I understand it, Allah showed me a different view.

                                          It is weird when you are trying to make a point by comparing Allah with or as equal to human. nope

                                          What are you talking about?
                                          I do not understand why it is so hard for you to understand what I was saying.

                                          For everyone who is reading this looooong boring post
                                          Is there anyone besides "muslims" who understood what I wrote as "comparing Allah with or as equal to human"?

                                          Therefore, what difference does it make to Allah whether it is "a successor" or "My successor"?

                                          I already gave you in the post before this my view, but you did not understand what I was saying so I think we have to handshake because repeating what I said will not change anything I guess.

                                          What's it got to do with to succeed Allah?

                                          same answer as above, I have nothing to add more.

                                          Peace brother.

                                          salaam,
                                          Bender

                                          ps if you do not mind this was my last post to you on this thread. If you answer, I will read inshaAllah your post, but you have to excuse me for not replying anymore, I am a little bit tired.
