        Beyond Religion -> Sunnatullah

        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 (Muslim) - Unity, regardless of religion etc.

        For you is your deen <- Religion - Right or wrong - Fire Element - Sectarianism.
        and for me is my deen <- Deen - Unity - Sunnatullah - Justly balanced - Fire/Earth/Air/Water.
        (109)

        http//s13.postimg.org/6hprb216f/religionelement.png

        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
        (385)

        The Qur'an confirms other books, including hadith and other religious or man made books etc.

          These words (label) may be removed from the Muslim's minds ...

          Right Wrong

          http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png Replace with http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png

          Justly balanced Unjust
          (maslahat = mudharat) (maslahat alone or mudharat alone)
          (to all living creatures) (for any selected sects or group of peoples)

          to humanity / living creatures

          (regardless of religion, sects, race or ethnic origin, belief, age etc.)

          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...

          ...

          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?

            Here is a wild suggestion.

            How to incorporate the Qur'an into any countries or laws?

            1. Forget about Islamic labels or identities (favorite issues to the Mushrikeen - sectarianism), and do not mention or represent the "religion" of Islam. Islam is not a religion. Focus on what is prohibited in the Qur'an and deals publicly with the question of how to improve the way of life (deen) of all human beings / living creatures.

            2. List all the "DO NOT" in the Qur'an.

            3. Study all religious texts and list all the "DO NOT" in their texts - named it whatever you like - eg. One World Religion Act, Humanitarian Acts etc. Avoid any Islamic names or identities.

            4. Study and master the rule in the "common laws and equity", and any other man-made laws. They cannot reject what is just to human beings, and especially, what come from the man made laws and their religious texts.

            5. Compare the "DO NOT" lists from both the Qur'an and their religious texts.

            6. List out all the "DO NOT" which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an.

            7. List out all the rules of equity or laws which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an (the "DO NOT" list).

            8. Prepare the draft bill/argument/debate to Parliament - or write books - or as a draft agreement between NGOs - or build website giving free draft agreements etc.

            9. Enacted as laws (not necessarily named as Islamic laws - the name is not important - avoid anything Islamic).

            The strategy can also be applied to any company or society constitution etc.

            Important institution = NGOs related to the research of laws and humanitarian etc.

            Peace.

            It is preferable for the objective to be related with something not causing "mudharat" (harm) to self, others and all living creatures; and according to their faith.

            The priority between .. "prohibition" vs. "command".

            What is "prohibited" (prevention/protection/preservation/justly balanced to human beings) should be given priority over what is commanded by Allah (compulsion to other religions or disbelievers, raise resistance).

            They said
            "Will You place upon it one
            who causes corruption therein <- mudharat
            and sheds blood
            while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?"
            (230)

            So there is no "to promote" in the objective, but "to prevent" (deen, dayn, debt, duty not to cause mudharat, duty to protect).

              For you is your deen <- Sectarianism - based on "religion" etc. - a bigot - God alone concept
              and for me is my deen <- Human Unity - based on "deen" - righteousness - fairness
              (109)

              Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion, so as Muhammad. Nonsectarian.
              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 <- Muslim = an upright man - a Muslim is defined by the above ayat
              and he was not one of the polytheists <- Sectarianism

              Comparison (refer here)

              Hasty generalization <- sectarianism, religion, bigotry

              Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for A (unjust).
              Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for B (unjust).
              Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for C (unjust).
              Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for D (unjust).

              Therefore...

              E (way of life - deen)
              F (way of life - deen)
              G (way of life - deen), etc.

              and..

              What about that is justly balanced in the Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc ?

              Sectarianism, according to one definition, is bigotry, discrimination, or hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group, such as between different denominations of a religion, class, regional or factions of a political movement.

              The ideological underpinnings of attitudes and behaviours labelled as sectarian are extraordinarily varied. Members of a religious or political group may believe that their own salvation, or the success of their particular objectives, requires aggressively seeking converts from other groups; adherents of a given faction may believe that for the achievement of their own political or religious project their internal opponents must be converted or purged.

              Sometimes a group that is under economic or political pressure will kill or attack members of another group which it regards as responsible for its own decline. It may also more rigidly define the definition of "orthodox" belief within its particular group or organisation, and expel or excommunicate those who do not support this newfound clarified definition of political or religious 'orthodoxy'. In other cases, dissenters from this orthodoxy will secede from the orthodox organisation and proclaim themselves as practitioners of a reformed belief system, or holders of a perceived former orthodoxy. At other times, sectarianism may be the expression of a group's nationalistic or cultural ambitions, or exploited by demagogues; Wikipedia

              Sectarianism is
              bigotry
              discrimination
              or hatred

              arising from
              attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group
              such as between different denominations of
              a religion
              class
              regional
              or factions of a political movement

              Bigotry is

              the state of mind of a bigot

              someone who
              as a result of their prejudices
              treats other people with
              fear
              distrust
              hatred
              contempt
              or intolerance

              on the basis of a person's
              ethnicity
              religion
              national origin
              gender
              sexual orientation
              disability
              socioeconomic status
              or other characteristics

              A bigot is

              a prejudiced person
              who is intolerant
              of any opinions
              differing from their own

              or intolerant of people
              of different
              political views
              ethnicity
              race
              class
              religion
              profession
              sexuality
              or gender

              The origin of the word bigot and bigoterie (bigotry) in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". This meaning still survives in Italian, in the cognate word bigotto. The exact origin of the word is unknown, but it may have come from the German bei and Gott, or the English by God; Online Etymology Dictionary; see also Nobody wants to be called a bigot

              Discrimination is

              the prejudicial
              and/or distinguishing treatment of an individual

              based on their
              actual or perceived membership
              in a certain group or category
              "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated"

              Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
              is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced; ie. fairness vs. a bigot

              And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 other than Islam
              it will NEVER be accepted of him
              and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers

                Can a sectarian be a successor or a Khalif?

                Can a sectarian (a bigot) be a judge to other/all human beings?

                Indeed, We have revealed to you
                the Book in truth
                so you may judge between the people <- purpose of the Qur'an
                by that which Allah has shown you
                And do not be for the deceitful an advocate
                (4105)

                Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts
                to whom they are due <- all human beings, including all living creatures
                and when you judge between people
                to judge with justice
                Excellent is that which Allah instructs you
                Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing

                      and caused them to depart from that (state) in which they were
                      and We said Get forth, some of you being the enemies of others
                      and there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time

                      And (as for) those
                      who reject Our communications <- the "DO NOT" prohibition
                      and turn away from them haughtily
                      these are the inmates of the fire
                      they shall abide in it

                      Surely this is indeed what is the evident trial
                      (<a href="http//quran.com/37/106">37106</a&gt

                      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

                      Or do you think
                      that you will enter Paradise
                      while such has not yet come to you
                      as came to those who passed on before you?

                      They were touched by poverty
                      and hardship
                      and were shaken
                      until messenger
                      and those who believed with him said
                      "When is the help of Allah ?"
                      Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near

                      Can anyone know or defeat Allah's plan?

                      So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement
                      We will overtake them by degrees
                      from whence they perceive not
                      And I do bear with them
                      surely My plan is firm <- Can human beings defeat this plan?

                      We believe
                      and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say
                      Surely we are with you, we were only mocking <- it means intentional disobedience, the "DO NOT"
                      Allah shall pay them back their mockery Munafiqoon (disobey silently)
                      and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy Mushrikeen (disobey openly)
                      blindly wandering on

                        Why Allah guides the prostitute to the straight path?

                        Why Allah guides the thief to the straight path?

                        Why Allah lead astray the Ulemas?

                        What really matters to Allah?

                        What is Allah like to see from us?

                          Similarly, this can be applied to certain life conditions, psychological backgrounds, personal traits, ethnic, educational backgrounds, and etc. These are all variables, and the overall consequences are the Sunnatullah, Absolute Justice.

                          Therefore, does it really matter of being right or wrong?

                          Does the above pattern of being right or wrong really matters to Allah?

                          What about those who live 1,000 years ago, where there is no proper educational system, or where people unable to read the Qur'an? Can they survive and become a real Muslim? Can we apply the same concept of right or wrong?

                          What is the actual standard to become a Muslim?

                          there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                          There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                            For example, how can anyone expect to be free from this Shirk?

                            If we based on the concept of right or wrong, then no one would ever survive (without the help of Allah)...

                            And set forth to them a parable of two men
                            for one of them We made two gardens of grape vines
                            and We surrounded them both with palms
                            and in the midst of them We made cornfields

                            Both these gardens yielded their fruits
                            and failed not aught thereof
                            and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst

                            And he possessed much wealth

                            so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him

                            I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers <- Shirk? This is what most people
                            https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif would say. Greater wealth,
                            And he entered his garden https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif knowledge, skills, family etc.
                            while he was unjust to himself, He said <- On the issue of justly balanced within ourselves.
                            I do not think that this will ever perish <- This is also what most people would say.
                            And I do not think the hour will come i.e. not come within the next few hours, days, years etc.
                            and even if I am returned to my Lord <- Same, and most people believe they will be in Paradise.
                            I will most certainly find a returning place better than this Proof that he believe in Allah and the
                            Hour will come, but not in his lifetime.
                            His companion said to him while disputing with him

                            Do you disbelieve in Him <- Shirk?
                            Who created you from dust
                            then from a small seed
                            then He made you a perfect man?

                            But as for me
                            He, Allah, is my Lord
                            and I do not associate anyone with my Lord <- Who is "anyone" in this story context? Self?

                                  Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                                  By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                                  until you spend (benevolently)

                                  Who can sadaqa all his property for Allah?

                                  Try practicing this for 7 continuous years without failed.

                                  Do you feel worry?

                                  Hard to accept?

                                  It is quite simple.

                                  The believers
                                  are only <- exclusionary principle and the definition of believers
                                  the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger
                                  and then doubt not
                                  but strive with their properties
                                  and their lives
                                  in the cause of Allah
                                  It is those who are the truthful.
                                  (4915)

                                  Unquestionably, the allies of Allah
                                  there will be no fear concerning them
                                  nor will they grieve
                                  (1062-64)

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

                                  There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                                    there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                                    What really matters to Allah?

                                    What is Allah like to see from us?

                                    The struggling and going is the goal, and it doesn't matter where we start (or end), as long as we start somewhere and keep on improving our life and strengthening our faith.

                                    The actual requirement in the Qur'an is for human beings to learn, understand, and reform continuously for the better (istiqamah - changes from within ourselves comes first - roots of a tree).

                                    It is the process of understanding that matter, not the end results (comparison - how can one expect to be free from shirk within a short period of time? Impossible!). Therefore it doesn't matter or less relevant to Islam if peoples wear Hijab or not, since it is not the real issue in Islam. In fact, it is the most irrelevant issue to the society (it is personal issue - 5105).

                                    Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah
                                    are the deaf and dumb
                                    who do not use reason <- The importance of reason, and not becoming a robot (blind follower)
                                    (822) (trees without roots - how long can it hold straight on the ground?)

                                    And before it was the scripture of Moses
                                    to lead and as a mercy

                                    And this is a confirming Book
                                    in an Arabic tongue
                                    to warn those who have wronged
                                    and as good tidings to the doers of good <- Is this the reality of our life? Is it true? If not, why?
                                    Indeed, those who have said
                                    "Our Lord is Allah"
                                    and then remained on a right course
                                    there will be no fear concerning them
                                    nor will they grieve
                                    (4612-13)

                                    Do you not see
                                    that ships sail through the sea
                                    by the favor of Allah
                                    that He may show you of His signs?
                                    Indeed in that are signs
                                    for everyone patient <- the standard or main requirements, patient and grateful
                                    and grateful <- Alhamdu
                                    (3131)

                                    Indeed, Allah is with those
                                    who fear Him
                                    and those who are doers of good

                                    Those who believe
                                    and do righteous good deeds

                                    there is no sin on them
                                    for what they ate

                                    if they fear Allah
                                    and believe
                                    and do righteous good deeds

                                    and again
                                    fear Allah
                                    and believe

                                    and once again
                                    fear Allah
                                    and do good deeds

                                    with Ihsan (perfection)

                                    And Allah loves the good-doers

                                    Except for those who repent
                                    correct themselves
                                    hold fast to Allah
                                    and are sincere in their deen for Allah <- requires understanding
                                    for those will be with the believers
                                    And Allah is going to give the believers a great reward

                                    There is not upon the weak
                                    or upon the ill
                                    or upon those who do not find anything to spend any discomfort
                                    when they are sincere
                                    to Allah and His Messenger
                                    There is not upon the doers of good any cause
                                    And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
                                    (991)

                                    And cause not corruption upon the earth
                                    after its reformation
                                    And invoke Him in fear and aspiration
                                    Indeed, the mercy of Allah
                                    is near to the doers of good
                                    (756)

                                    Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward
                                    of the doers of good

                                        Some example on better way to give everything in the path of Allah

                                        By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                                        until you spend (benevolently)
                                        out of what you love

                                          The process of returning to Allah.

                                          Transition from the first realm (womb)
                                          (cutting umbilical cord - our path - bay'ah - to reconnect)
                                          ie. the importance of blessings from our parents - duty)
                                          http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                                          http//s9.postimg.org/4t3bkmt5r/twohearts.png

                                          Willingly (obedience) or unwillingly (disobedience) empty our heart to Allah

                                          The repentance accepted by Allah
                                          is only for those
                                          who do wrong
                                          in ignorance <- conditions for repentance - two conditions
                                          and then repent soon after
                                          It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness
                                          and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

                                          But repentance is not
                                          of those who
                                          do evil deeds <- conditions for repentance
                                          up until, when death comes to one of them, he says
                                          "Indeed, I have repented now,"
                                          or of those who die while they are disbelievers

                                          For them We have prepared a painful punishment
                                          (417-1

                                          Transition from the first realm (womb)

                                          ie. the importance of blessings from our parents - duty)

                                          And your Lord has commanded
                                          that you shall not serve (any) but Him

                                          and goodness to your parents
                                          If either or both of them reach old age with you
                                          say not to them "Ugh"
                                          nor chide them
                                          and speak to them a generous word
