    Peace brother,

    Could you please explain from Quran only.

    I don't want Graphic Images. I want the words of intuition from Allah.

    What is Ramadan ?
    What is Fasting?
    What is Hajj?
    Whats is Salah?

    Salam jhonsonmustafa,

    What am I explaining?

    Can you please read carefully before making any comment?

    Refer to the method section.

    Peace brother.

      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)

      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.

      Society will break apart to pieces.

      Stand up for what is just and balance in the society.

      It will bring harmony.

      It will unite humanity.

      This is Islam.

      is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced

        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).

            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 D (unjust).

            Therefore...

            Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for
            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

            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
              (458)

                    Such has been the course of Allah that has indeed run before

                    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

                    "We believe"
                    and they will not be tried?

                    But We have certainly tried those before them

                    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

                    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)

                      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?

                        1 Being absolutely right for the level of 1 year old baby <-- limited by our senses, abilities etc.

                        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?

                                Proof that there is no faith... not yet.

                                The test.

                                Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                                By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                                until you spend (benevolently)
                                out of what you love
                                and whatever thing you spend
                                Allah surely knows it
                                (392)

                                And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
                                Say What you can spare
                                Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
                                that you may ponder
                                (2219)

                                Who can sadaqa all his property for Allah?

                                Try practicing this for 7 continuous years without failed.

                                Do you feel worry?

                                Hard to accept?

                                If yes, then there is no faith.

                                It is quite simple.

                                The believers
                                are only <- exclusionary principle and the definition of believers

                                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

                                  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

                                  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

                                      Depends on the Level of Shirk

                                      Those with "one heart" (no heart) will never commit Shirk
                                      Shirk or Faith requires "the right elements of" Iman and Amal to be presence

                                      Condition = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                      Similarly = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                      Iman + Amal = Shirk/Faith

                                      And rely on Allah
                                      and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
                                      Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior.

                                    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 process of returning to Allah.

                                        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

                                        It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness
                                        and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

                                        But repentance is not
                                        of those who

                                        or of those who die while they are disbelievers

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

                                          What is reward and sin?

                                          tools to enter paradise and avoiding hell?

                                          It is obvious that we cannot avoid sin
                                          It is the unavoidable things in life..
                                          No matter how good we are ... how hard we try..
                                          We will always committing sins and shirk (eg. refer here)

                                          sin = dust

                                          However, it is always easier to standing up for good deeds
                                          It is easier to become a righteous person
                                          It is something that are accomplishable

                                          reward = soap

                                          http//s18.postimg.org/c03hpnyw9/soap.png

                                          Therefore, the actual system (or the awwaliyah) of the Deen of Islam is not really about avoiding sin

                                          BUT it is more about becoming a righteous person

                                          It is about benefiting humanity and kindness to His creation

                                          Becoming humble and understand human beings and other living creatures...

                                          It is Allah who will purifies us from our sin and shirk, no one can <- main reason why we need Allah (al-Fatihah)
                                          and.. based on our good deeds and level of righteousness

                                          Therefore, our real objectives are becoming a righteous person, while striving hard and praying to Allah for forgiveness.

                                          Praying to Allah to show us the right path, and purify us from sins and shirk (since we can never avoids shirk).

                                          Prostrate to Adam!

                                          The relation between reward and sin .. which one is dominant in ourselves?

                                          benefiting humanity, or on the issue of "right and wrong in religion"?

                                          avoiding sin = right/wrong = fire element

                                          ?Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.? (refer to al-Anfal22)

                                          It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil
                                          If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men
                                          the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui
