    <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

          The truth is from your Lord
          so never be among the doubters
          (<a href="http//quran.com/2/147">2147</a&gt

          And We have certainly made the Qur'an
          easy for remembrance
          so is there any who will remember?
          (<a href="http//quran.com/54/17">5417</a>, <a href="http//quran.com/54/22">5422</a>, <a href="http//quran.com/54/32">5432</a>, <a href="http//quran.com/54/40">5440</a&gt

          Alif, Lam, Ra
          a Book whose verses are perfected
          and then presented in detail
          from Wise and Acquainted
          (<a href="http//quran.com/11/1">111</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/45/11">4511</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/10/37">1037</a&gt1037(<a href="http//quran.com/7/52">752</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/7/174">7174</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/6/55">655</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/6/114">6114</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/6/126">6126</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/6/119">6119</a&gt

          Turning to Him
          and be careful of (your duty to) Him
          and keep up prayer
          and be not of the polytheists
          Of those who
          divided their religion
          and became seas
          every sect rejoicing
          in what they had with them
          (<a href="http//quran.com/30/31-32">3031-32</a&gt

          O you who believe!
          DO NOT put questions
          about things
          which if declared to you
          may trouble you
          and if you question about them
          when the Quran is being revealed
          they shall be declared to you
          Allah pardons this
          and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
          (<a href="http//quran.com/5/101">5101</a&gt

          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.

          They think that they lay you under an obligation
          by becoming Muslims
          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

          Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?
          And they seek to frighten you with those besides Him
          and whomsoever Allah makes err
          there is no guide for him
          (<a href="http//quran.com/39/36">3936</a&gt

          And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub
          O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith
          therefore die not
          unless you are Muslims
          (<a href="http//quran.com/2/132">2132</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>
            but Iblis (did it not). <- <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605723.msg335480#msg335480">Prostrate to Allah Alone - God Alone Concept</a>
            He refused
            and he was proud
            and he was one of the unbelievers
            (234)

            http//s11.postimg.org/hq4ht9ic3/humanunity.png

            • 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

                Salam Bender,

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

                Do you have a verse for this statement?

                Do you understand what is Asma Ul Husna?

                The 99 names of God or 99 names of Allah (Arabic asm allh al-usn&#257
                are the Names of God
                by which Muslims regard God (Allah)
                and which are described in the Qur'an
                and Sunnah

                My conclusion is that al3adl is not an Al-Asma Al-Husa. In The Quran it is NEVER referred to Allah

                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.

                  Salam Bender,

                  Do you understand what is Asma Ul Husna?

                  The 99 names of God or 99 names of Allah (Arabic asm allh al-usn&#257
                  are the Names of God
                  by which Muslims regard God (Allah)
                  and which are described in the Qur'an
                  and Sunnah

                  Are you seriously directing me to wiki and ahadith of Bukharie & Co to make me understand what AlAsma AlHusna are?
                  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?

                    It's okay ... you win.

                    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".

                    Peace brother.

                      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?

                        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.

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

                          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.
                            My whole point in the discussion with drfazl is that Allah has NO khalifa.

                            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.

                              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.

                                Salam Bender,

                                It is clear that you know what I'm talking about, but maybe it's just you want to show you are superior than others, without any valid or proper reasons. In fact, I repeatedly told you what I'm referring to.

                                Salaamun alayka,
                                Do you have a verse for this statement?

                                and when I asked you ... whether you understand what I means with Asma Ul Husna

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

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

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

                                here is your answer...

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

                                It is clear that you just want to be right or want to be superior to others without valid reasons.

                                Further, who are discussing your definition of Asma Ul Husna? Did I ask you?

                                and where is the word "AlAsma AlHusna" in the following verse?

                                Did you really understand what you read?

                                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.

                                According to you, Asma Ul Husna is "To Him belongs" or "The Best Identifiers" ? hmm

                                "Lahu" is not Allah names, and neither is the "The Best Identifiers".

                                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.

                                For everyone who is reading this looooong boring post

                                  Even the "The Best Identifiers" is not Allah names.

                                  "AlAsma AlHusna" are the two (2) words after "Lahu". He explained clearly what "Lahu" means and why he highlighted it.

                                  Also the point about "khalifa" was delivered very clearly, too.

                                    Sorry my mistake, what I meant is the names, Allah's names. "Lahu" and "The Best Identifiers" are not Allah names, neither is AlAsma AlHusna. Further, my reference is to the "Asma Ul Husna" understood by the majority of Muslim, and "The Best Identifiers" is not necessarily specific names, but can also be in general; such as Allah The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604.

                                      Can you please show a reference from the Quran where God calls himself "Al-`Adl"? This way, Bender can add it to his great list.

                                        The root 'a-d-l has the following classical Arabic connotations

                                          The destructive aspect of the fire element.

                                          • 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.
