Gods "Arsh" - Throne

And you can learn a great deal from the Jedi in the fictitious Star Wars. They tell that you should focus on the Force (Spirit) while channeling away the external world, and it is basically what you are to do in reality. You must avoid everything negative that comes from the bodily you. You should NOT strive for
Domination
Hierarchy (because you are one with the Force (Spirit) and those unfeeling and feeling of the Force)
Recognition
Greed
Materialism
Jealousy
Passion
Egoism
Anger
Hatred
Revenge
PunishmentAnd you should not listen to your emotions but listen to the Force (Spirit) that flows through you. Everything of your emotions is biologically generated and must be controlled logically. Clarity of mind, your mind must not be clouded by the dark, all the emotions and the bodily impulses will lead to the dark side.
That is a philosophical analysis of the Star Wars saga. The Angels/Controllers of the world made this motion picture to be a channel of insight. Basically everything it says is accurate on how the world works and what leads to disaster. Remove the effects and entertainment with things that could be possible "by a matter of Being". The aim for a Jedi is very close to what a Man or Woman of Faith has to accomplish, tranquility of mind and its purification. This will expand the mind to endless levels.
Ya-Dal-Ya = (Jedi ) ) to touch, aid, do good, be beneficent, show power and superiority, a hand. By his agency/means.
With a willing hand, out of hand, having financial ability.
In acknowledgement of the superior power, in ready money and not in the form of deferred payment, considering it as a favour, on account of help, (payment should be made by the hand of the parties themselves without the intervention of a third party and without reluctance.
baina yadaihi - before him, in his presence hit, between his two hands.
ulill aidi - men of power (lit. gifted with hands)
suqaita fi aidihim (idiomatic expression) they repented, the idea seems to be that they hit their fingers in grief and contrition.
Handy, Might, Power, Superiority, Benefit, Possession, Favour, Generosity. The idea behind those expressions is that the (way of) use of the hand is the real source of the superiority and power. Under his authority, upper hand, arm, foreleg of a beast, handle of a tool, wing of a bird.
ma qaddamat yada - that is what thou hast deserved.I inserted words within some of the parentheses. It is quite interesting that they are called Jedi in Star Wars and have so much in common with this Arabic word. Like with everything "God" is expressed in what we do, knowingly or unknowingly, but it is better to be independent and thus aware of one's participation and share.

Yup that's how the ancient israelite's cosmology looks like..
I give the wonderfully drawn illustration below which fits perfectly with your description..http//wp.patheos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/files/2012/11/Ancient-Hebrew-view-of-universe.png
And that narrow path, labeled the "Gate of Heaven" is well guarded by Angels, the Devil commonly uses that narrow path to sneak into the heaven and ear drop the ongoing discussion in "Heavenly Conference". The angels uses the stars as missiles / projectile to drive away the Devil..
1516-18
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders; And (moreover) We have guarded them from every evil spirit accursed But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).376-10
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side, Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty, Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.675
And we have, adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.728-9
(Demons are speaking)'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. 'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.Reminds me of this article
http//quran-mystery.blogspot.nl/2015/12/quran-speaks-about-firmament-of-heavens.htmlAnd the following documentaries

132 God, Who raised the skies without any pillars that you can see
3110 He created the skies without pillars that you can see
i think ancient people who created the maps and images like this. they forget the verses like this... otherwise they will never claim things like that... confused

The true purpose is 'to be'. Gain independence within "God" rather than a mindless slave by Being One. The only way to that is by pursuing spirituality (the Spirit seed of your Nafs in order to grow) and rejecting the bodily.
Like Shakespeare said "To be or not to be is the question". Strengthen your being, tell yourself to do be confident (amenuwa). Strive hard to be cognizant of who you are. If you grow that awareness then you will also feel your origin and not only merely believe and it only takes finding yourself. If you find yourself you will also find your origin and then you will be a part of it. That is to be reborn while you are born, the only way to escape (salvation) is to be born twice in a lifetime, and only the witted will understand what I am writing. And that is because your body is a host to a seed of another origin, but it takes cultivating the seed and soundly take care of it and not be deluded this world is something for you or that the afterlife has any resemblance to this.
There was once a wise man who said that this seed is like a mustard seed, the smallest of seeds yet it becomes the most amazing tree. One has to understand that parable in order to understand its meaning. But since I was determined to put it black on white for once in history, it refers to that the spirit if undeveloped is minuscule like almost non-existent, but if it is soundly tended then the spirit will see no boundaries. Most Nafs's are like seeds who land on the ground but never grow because they choke due to weeds like thistles and the weeds choke the meager little seed and its cultivation so that it never expands. In the parable, the bodily (what is in the world) is the weeds and other obstacles and have always been in this parable, but I tell you now. Those hamper the spirit from development and will keep the seed like the minuscule seed it is and it will fade away eventually in lack of development and because the seed is degraded in time. The same soil will host several cycles "of other plants" (the useless plants which do not more than hamper the development of the seed) during the degradation. Life itself is a parable and is clear from who takes pleasure from it all and the bodies were made for evaluation and sifting and so the final delivery is delayed so to allow everyone that will bear fruit and so does not the one whose quality is absent in the produce (extract taken from Quran - the real interpretation of).

AmenuelMy humble understanding of the Quran says that Life is a short distraction to see who will follow the way of God... i.e Reconize the Unity of God and do good in life while putting your trust in God alone, ask forgiveness (because you might sin), repent, enjoy what you've been given in this life (even if it's a short distraction), be thankful etc...
This though doesn't seem very pretty, or "spiritual"... just bunch of to-do's...but I believe It is the way to gaining spiritual growth. Because spiritual growth isn't gained by knowledge or philosophy or reading all sort of texts or arguing over lexicons. It is gained by commitment and patience and remembrance of God.
Thus, you allow God's light in your Heart.
P.S Hansolo, if you read this, please understand that gaining spiritual growth won't happen by watching youtube videos or reading all sort of crap around the internet. At the end of the day, you still face your devils and I'm sure you do, and that is the true challenge of life. Do not fool yourself and think you can "obtain" spiritual growth the way you obtain "knowledge".

An English translation of the Quran - 2255 God, there is no god except He, the Living, the Sustainer. No slumber or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who will intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His Throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the Most High, the Great.

We should not enjoy what we have been given in this world. It has been given to us as a deceptive trial and the one who can abstain is strong-minded.

The water you shower with, the cold wind touching your skin, the sky, the smell of fresh air, the peacefulness of the morning and night, the safety, the sanity, the knowledge, the physical abilities, a good talk with a loved one, tasty food in a warm room...
I do enjoy these things. Many enjoyable things, if enjoyed without considering God, may lead to deception.
Though, We still enjoy what is naturally enjoyable. Always in the context of the life test.

Greetings and Peace, all group
832 Say "Who has made forbidden the nice things that GOD has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?" Say "They are meant for those who believe during this worldly life, and they will be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection." It is such that We explain the revelations for those who know.
ALLAH knows best.

It is just that what is natural is the deception in this world.

It is not about forbidden, but it is a matter of what is recommended to do.

3185 Every human being is bound to taste death but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full - whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion/self-deception
One is easily bound to the wordly things. But one has to remind himself. That is the remembrance of God. Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy.

But does it not make us slaves?
This is what I said
One is easily bound to the wordly things. But one has to remind himself. That is the remembrance of God. Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy.One is easily bound to the wordly things Temptation, Devil, Ego, Difficulty to control. Lack of gratitude. Wanting more.
But one has to remind himself That is the key to facing such states. The multiple Salat we make. Those small moments you look at something and remember God. Giving away of what you have. etc. All those moments of stepping outside of the box.
2153 O you who believe, seek help through patience and through the contact prayer, God is with the patient ones.That is the Remembrance of God Indeed. That is how you grow spiritually. Gradually.
Though we still enjoy what we've been given to enjoy Taking in consideration all the above. That is from God. And that is all in the context of the life test.
Now which part suggests what you suggest ?

AmenuelSalam,
I think we should enjoy what we are granted from God, this will lead to being thankful.
Solomon enjoyed horses (racing?).There are some verses though about indulging. Indulging so much in what we are granted that we forget the remembrance of God. This is danger.

yes because we are infact slaves of God... 1/5
its another thing if a deluded person(kafir/mushrik) think he is a part of God. going against 112...

Salam,
we aren't slaves, but servants.One important difference between these two words is that slaves have no choice while servants do have a choice, which goes in line with this verse;
2256 There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been
clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes
in God, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will
never break. God is Hearer, Knower.Salam

slaves and servants are synonyms for the perception of wordly understandings..
whereas i m talking beyond the imagination... we still cannot understand what word should we use ..
1 slave is a person who work for his master ... forcefully/ helplessly/ optionless
2 servant is a person who work for his master for the sake of money
3 employee is a person who sale his services to his masterthe concept of option 1 is finished as we know its an evil practise never encouraged by lord...(for humans )
but if you wish to go against your lord and do things which God dnt like (then ready for the punishment he declared for the wicked people) in that sense you can also say we may are slave of God laws.. you must be a slave to law that you never commit murder/illegal sex/robbery/rape/invasion but God is not interferring you while you are doing it .. but the results of your doings will definately brought forward to you by your lord... on other words you are slave to do good for your own good...
the other two options are still availiable... but all this language wrestling we apply to world and systems of man made...
on other words you cannot limit your understanding in the worldy way with man made grammer and point out mistakes and misunderstandings like most of the times our fellow brother MOF do it with the gymnastics of words....
and lastly for my point of view slave servant worshiper are all closing understanding to the role what our God gives us..
and also we can use successor/khalifabut again even we are king off the planet or go beyond the planet and God let you control the galaxies .. still your role is the person/individual/successor/slave/service provider/manager under the dominon of God.. which is your real boss/king
now what is the dominion you and angels /malik and anybody have really no idea what is the nature of the creator .. your and my mind is not programmed in a way to grasp it..peace...

Yes, it is another thing. That person is independent and uses the capability "God" bestowed him/her with rather than is a useless pet.

One can be thankful without enjoying. But of course it depends on whether one perceives the world as a gift or not. I consider it being offered as a gift to be a trial. I try to be restricted in how much I accept it and I focus on immaterial elevation.

Again you opinion, I move within the boundaries of available definitions in ancient lexicons and it would appear to be sensible logic that one word does not have two utterly conflicting definitions that are true except to one who is gullible.
