Allah has promised
those who have believed among you <- 100% obedience
and done righteous deeds <- towards human unity

that He will surely grant them succession upon the earth
just as He granted it to those before them

and that He will surely establish for them their deen
which He has preferred for them

and that He will surely substitute for them
after their fear
security

they worship Me
not associating anything with Me

But whoever disbelieves after that
then those are the defiantly disobedient
(<a href="http//quran.com/24/55">2455</a&gt

Ignominy shall be their portion

muslims

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&gt

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&gt

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".

The example of those who spend their wealth

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 - 3030-32

Most 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
(367-6

And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 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"!

and basically, the objectives of Ibada are as follows

Fast "..decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you
that you may become righteous.." (2183)

The Formula

It is He who has sent among the unlettered
a Messenger from themselves

reciting to them His verses and
purifying them and
teaching them the Book
and wisdom
although they were before in clear error
(<a href="http//quran.com/62/2">622</a&gt

Primary importance

Command War zone Objectives (primary importance)
(illusion) (reality)
an acts of -> How -> - become righteous (ourselves)
devotion to - to purify ourselves
perform? - witness benefits in ourselves
etc. - prohibits immorality/wrongdoing in ourselves

understanding of reality (ourselves)

Have we achieved the objectives?

If not, we are still not performing those "Ibada".

It is, in fact, not an Ibada (iman and amal, burden of proof).

For example

We will know what is the reality, universe and what is Allah. We are able to return our Shahada, and not as hypocrites; ie. those who will not benefit from the Shahada and no matter how many times he may have made that statement during his life.

Say Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds?

(These are) they whose labor
is lost in this world's life
and they think
that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands

These are they who disbelieve
in the communications of their Lord and His meeting
so their deeds become null
and therefore We will not set up a balance for them
on the day of resurrection.

Thus it is that their recompense is hell

because they disbelieved
and held My communications
and My messengers
in mockery
(<a href="http//quran.com/18/103-106">18103-106</a&gt

muslims

He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience
and how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?
(1867-68)

What does the Qur'an teach?

Unity Wrongdoing No unity
(4213) (3030-32)

and so on...

From the above, we can see that the Qur'an teaches us how to balance and achieve justice ..

It is the "Ihdina assirata almustaqeem" (16); "..and you become three kinds.." (567)

Why it is about balance and just?

Because ...

We cannot change to what is right (just) in the fire element. -> unjust to the air, water and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the air element. -> unjust to the fire, water and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the water element. -> unjust to the fire, air and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the earth element. -> unjust to the fire, air and water.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in all these elements.
We cannot change what is wrong (unjust) in all these elements.

However, we can balance the major and minor "right (just)" in all these elements.
ie. right 1 + right 2 + right 3 + right 4 and so on...

For example

The degree of what is right.

25% wrong (unjust) -> means 75% right (just)
50% wrong (unjust) -> means 50% right (just)
75% wrong (unjust) -> means 25% right (just)
100% wrong (unjust) -> means 0% right (just)

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

Can 0% or less than 50% wrong (unjust) be achieved?

Nope, because all these elements exist in all living creatures.

It is Sunnatullah, and Allah is The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604.

Therefore, our real issue in life is why human are fighting each other and standing for what is right or wrong? (refer here)

Our real issue in life is why not stand up for human unity, based on what is just and balance?

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? (3030-32)

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&gt

..

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".

Follow this rule....

O mankind, indeed We have created you
from male and female <- differences - What we can learn from husband & wife relationship?
and made you peoples How they can build family and unite under one roof?
and tribes How they balance their differences? Protect each other.
What about different species of animals? How they live?
that you may know one another <- unite and learn how to balance our life from others

Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced
Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

Other forms of Shirk

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

"...Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior..." (334)

It may become a Shirk when we assign the following attributes to any other than Allah.
