What is Islam?
-
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.
and when I asked you ... whether you understand what I means with Asma Ul Husna
here is your answer...
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?
According to you, Asma Ul Husna is "To Him belongs" or "The Best Identifiers" ? hmm
"Lahu" is not Allah names.
Even the "The Best Identifiers" is not Allah names.
handshake
Peace brother.
"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.

Salam,
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 (ل.
Peace brother.

Peace brother.
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.

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

Not specifically and I'm referring to the asma ul husna.Quote from muslims on August 26, 2013, 090639 PM
As I said, the "asma ul husna"Quote from muslims on August 27, 2013, 084844 PM
It is true, the specific words are not in the Qur'an"The Best Identifiers" is not necessarily specific names, but can also be in general; such as Allah The Just, Al-`Adl (ل.
The root 'a-d-l has the following classical Arabic connotations
- to act justly, fairly
- to be equitable, impartial
- to adjust properly, to make even
- to straighten, to rectify, to establish justice
- to balance, counterbalance, to make equal, uniform
- to turn one away from something, rightly direct
- to make comfortable with what is right
The One who rectifies and sets matters straight in a fair, impartial and equitable manner.
The One who always acts justly.
The One who delivers absolute justice.
The One whose wisdom of justice is based upon complete knowledge of past, present and future.Peace brother.

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>. 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.

Towards human unity...
He has made plain to you <-- What is Islam
of the Din (l-dni)
what He enjoined upon Nuh
and that which We have revealed to you
and that which We enjoined upon Ibrahim
and Musa
and Isa
that keep to obedience <- 100% obedience
and be not divided therein < towards human unity... .. . . . .
To this then go on inviting <-- Task for Muslims
and go on steadfastly <- refer to the above sponsorship program - Duty Awareness
on the right way
as you are commanded
and do not follow their low desires <- don't argue with them, focus on unity, peace and harmony
and say What is a Mushrikeen? (<a href="http//quran.com/30/30-32">3030-32</a>I believe in what Allah has revealed of the Book
and I am commanded to do justice between you <-- role as Mediators and Conciliators
Allah is our Lord and your Lord vs. Provoker & create more divisions
we shall have our deeds
and you shall have your deeds
no plea need there be (now) between us and you <- no argument! ignore right/wrong &
Allah will gather us together focus on unity, peace and harmony
and to Him is the return(<a href="http//quran.com/42/10-16">4210-16</a>
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".

Jihad SalatAnd those who believe in Allah and His Messengers
they are the Siddiqun
and the martyrs (syahid) with their Lord
they shall have their reward and their light
But those who disbelieve
and deny Our Ayat (disobedience)
they shall be the dwellers of the blazing Fire

As you said that you learn -good and bad- so have I in all my life. I have denied myself the investigation of no information-good and bad. Also I have always changed my views for the better in the presence of valid arguments. I have also always loved debate and have always presented my arguments for solid criticism so that I could learn how to improve it for the better. I have no doubt in my mind that ALLAAH has a plan for you which will become manifest to you when the time is right inshaa ALLAAH. Continue on your journey to seek all knowledge! Justly balanced!

There is nothing wrong with to deny good or bad. It is also "Justly balanced!", for each of us and all living creatures. It doesn't matter which side we are today. However, we just need to let Allah control our lives and enjoy our rides.

Beyond Religion -> Sunnatullah
DIN?this word has been used in various contexts, among them being ascendancy, sovereignty, management, conduct of affairs, ruling power, mastership, ownership, exercise of power, code of law, constitution, law of requital, an order. The Quran has described Islam as Ad-Din, which is generally translated as religion. However, in the light of the above meanings, it should be clear that this is not only incorrect, but distorts and negates the very meaning of din. Islam is not a religion (madhab), and it has never been described as one in the Quran. Islam is a way of life, a system, a code of law. In the external universe Islam signifies the Divine Order that governs life and the movement of the entire universe. The whole purpose of the Quran is to establish a universal order based on the Divinely ordained values of life. This is ad-din; <a href="http//www.tolueislam.org/Parwez/ICR/ICR.htm">Islam A Challenge to Religion</a>
Say, "O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship <- Prostrate to God Alone, accordingly, any god/religion.
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship <- Prostrate to Allah & Adam (Humanity), Sunnatullah.Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship <- Religious People & God Alone Concept.
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship <- Upright man - Unity, regardless of religion etc.For you is your deen <- Religion - Right or wrong - Fire Element.
and for me is my deen <- Deen - Unity - Sunnatullah - Justly balanced - Fire/Earth/Air/Water.

Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion. So as Muhammad, not a Jew/Christian (religion).
nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
a Muslim <- defined by the above ayat - an upright man - obedience and justly balanced.
and he was not one of the polytheists <- Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim
are those
who followed him
and this Prophet
and those who believe
and Allah is the guardian of the believers
(367-6And whoever seeks a "dnan" (ا other than Islam <- Religion of Islam vs. Deen of Islam
it will NEVER be accepted of him
and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers

Comparison
A comparative study of religion or madhhab, and din, should help us understand the vital and fundamental characteristics of each and the differences between the two
- Madhhab is merely some sort of subjective experience and is concerned only with the so-called private relationship between God and man.
Din is an objective reality and a system of collective life.
- Every follower of a madhhab is satisfied that he has established a communion with the Almighty, and the objective of each individual is his own salvation.
The aim of din on the other hand is the welfare and progress of all mankind, and the character and constitution of a society indicates whether or not it is founded upon the Divine Law.
- Madhhab does not afford us any objective. criterion by which we could determine whether or not our actions are producing the desired results.
In a social order governed by din, the development of a collective and harmonious life correctly indicates whether or not the people are pursuing the right course.
- Madhhab is hostile to scientific investigation and is an adversary of reason, so that it could flourish unhampered with the aid of a blind faith.
Din helps in the development of human reason and knowledge, allows full freedom to accept or reject on the basis of reason and arguments, and encourages investigation and discovery of all the natural phenomena to illumine the path of human life and its advancement in the light of the Permanent Values.
- Madhhab follows the susceptibilities and prejudices of men and pampers them.
Din seeks to lead men to a path of life that is in harmony with the realities of life.
- In every age, therefore, madhhab sets up new idols and mumbo-jumbos in order to keep the people's attention away from the real problems of life.
But din is rational and radical it breaks all idols, old and new, and is never variable in its principles.
- Madhhab induces a perpetual sense of fear in the minds of men and seeks to frighten them into conformity;
While din treats fear as a form of polytheism and seeks to make men courageous, daring and self-reliant.
- Madhhab prompts men to bow before every seat of authority and prestige, religious as well as temporal.
Din encourages man to walk about with his head erect, and attain self-confidence.
- Madhhab induces man to flee from struggle of life.
But din calls upon him to face the realities of life squarely, whatever the hazards.
- Madhhab treats the world of matter with contempt and calls upon man to renounce it. It promises paradise only in the Hereafter as a reward for the renunciation of the material world.
Din, on the other hand, enjoins the conquest of matter and leads man to immeasurable heights of attainment. It exhorts him to seek well-being and happiness in this world as well as felicity in the life Hereafter.
- Madhhab encourages belief in fatalism, and this tends to dissuade man from active life and self-development.
Din gives man power to challenge fate, and provides energy for a life of activity and self-development.
- Madhhab seeks to comfort the weak, the helpless and the oppressed with the belief that the affairs of this world are governed by the Will of God and that its acceptance and resignation helps to endear them to God. This sort of teaching naturally tends to morbidity, and emboldens their religious leaders who profess to interpret the Will of God, so that they indulge in their misdeeds with perfect impunity and persuade the adherents to a complete and quiet submission.
Din, on the other hand, raises the banner of revolt against all forms of tyranny and exploitation. It calls upon the weak and the oppressed to follow the Divine Laws and thereby seek to establish a social order in which all tyrants and oppressors will be forced to accept the dictates of right and justice. In this social order, there is no place for dictators, capitalists or priests. They are all enemies of din.
- Madhhab enjoins religious meditation in the name of worship and thus induces self-deception.
Din exhorts men to assert themselves and struggle perpetually for the establishment of the Divine Social Order, and its betterment when attained. Worship in din really means obedience to the Laws of God.
- Madhhab frowns and sneers at all things of art and beauty.
Din defies those who forbid the enjoyment of the good and beautiful things of life which God has created for the enjoyment of man.
- Madhhab denounces everything new and declares all innovation as sin.
Din holds that the needs and demands of human life keep changing with the change in the conditions of life; change and innovation are, therefore, demanded by life itself. Only the Divine Laws are immutable.
It should now be easy for us to see the fundamental difference between din and madhhab. Islam means saying "Yes" to life; while the response of religion is "No"!
