Peace brother Traditional Islam hijacked GODs authority by putting another authority over the deen as well and they call it Islam of the Qoran. Muslim to GOD can be from any religion or from no religion. Only GOD knows the true inner most thoughts. Noah and Abraham had different rules, different religions have different rules, GOD knows that and that is why there is a common system of the belief in one GOD and the following of the "straight path"-good deeds and good morals- in all the sects and all humanity. Islam to GOD is not the "Muslim religion that some claim or we have today". Islam is not defined as following all the qoran and its laws. Islam was the only DEEN accepted by GOD throughout the human history, is and will be. Islam existed way before Qoran and Mohammed. Islam to GOD is an invitation to all mankind to acknowledge and believe in the Creator with sincerity and honesty and accept GOD s guidance to become straight(follow the straight path). i.e an individual relationship/attitude to start the process of guidance from GOD. Islam to GOD is accepting The one GOD as authority . Religions are diverse and have different rules. Believers in Qoran may differ in rules than believers in other scripture or bible or ... The only DEEN approved by God is "ISLAM." Ironically, those who have received the scripture are the ones who dispute this fact, despite the knowledge they have received, due to jealousy. For such rejectors of God's revelations, God is most strict in reckoning. إِنَّ الدّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسلٰمُ وَمَا اختَلَفَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ إِلّا مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ بَغيًا بَينَهُم وَمَن يَكفُر بِـٔايٰتِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ If they argue with you, then say, "I have simply ASLAMTU- submitted myself to God; I and those who follow me." You shall proclaim to those who received the scripture, as well as those who did not, "Would you submit?" If they submit, then they have been guided, but if they turn away, your sole mission is to deliver this message. God is Seer of all people. فَإِن حاجّوكَ فَقُل أَسلَمتُ وَجهِىَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ وَقُل لِلَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ وَالأُمِّيّـۧنَ ءَأَسلَمتُم فَإِن أَسلَموا فَقَدِ اهتَدَوا وَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَإِنَّما عَلَيكَ البَلٰغُ وَاللَّهُ بَصيرٌ بِالعِبادِ If Islam is defined as following Mohammed and the rules of his message ,which I do not find that in Qoran, then this needs to be reconciled. 1- GOD makes it clear in Qoran that whoever accept ANY OTHER DEEN apart from ISLAm , will be with the losers. 2- Yet iinforms us as follows Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, and the Christians; any of them who (1) believe in God and (2) believe in the Last Day, and (3) lead a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve. إِنَّ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَالَّذينَ هادوا وَالصّٰبِـٔونَ وَالنَّصٰرىٰ مَن ءامَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صٰلِحًا فَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ You and I are not wakeel over people nor can we make assumptions that have no basis on who can can be a true Muslim to GOD. Anyone who is peaceful, believes in God and a good human is not the "enemy" . Actually I am many congregations and sects, Or shall I say I have no sect. Our universal unity comes from the big factor"GOD ALONE as authority, no idols" All the sects and factions "GOD is the one who will judge among them on the day of Resurrection. GOD witnesses all things.” Every day is a blessed day for all humans living on earth to appreciate their Creator. . GOD bless. Peace.

10 ways to Maximize the Last 10 Days of Ramadan Much of what you say has no basis in Quran. Can you tell us what Quran says about attributing something to God which is untrue? https//mypercept.co.uk/articles/Intelligent_Approach_to_Islam.htm Introduction https//mypercept.co.uk/articles/Rethinking_Tradition_Modern_Islamic_Thought.htm

May Allah guide us . Do not worry. GOD Alone and scripture only guidance will prevail. We all get tried equally You will certainly be tested, through your money and your lives, and you will hear from those who received the scripture, and from the idol worshipers, a lot of insult. If you steadfastly persevere and lead a righteous life, this will prove the strength of your faith. لَتُبلَوُنَّ فى أَموٰلِكُم وَأَنفُسِكُم وَلَتَسمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ مِن قَبلِكُم وَمِنَ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا أَذًى كَثيرًا وَإِن تَصبِروا وَتَتَّقوا فَإِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ We need to pass GOD s admission test after all! God took a covenant from those who received the scripture "You shall proclaim it to the people, and never conceal it." But they disregarded it behind their backs, and traded it away for a cheap price. What a miserable trade. وَإِذ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ ميثٰقَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنّاسِ وَلا تَكتُمونَهُ فَنَبَذوهُ وَراءَ ظُهورِهِم وَاشتَرَوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَليلًا فَبِئسَ ما يَشتَرونَ They conceal Qoran and proclaim hadiths and nonsense to the people? If you say there is a verse that contradicts hadith ,they say that verse is "Mnsoukh! disregard it. Well discard GOD s authority then? There are even some followers of the previous scriptures who believe in God, and in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them. They reverence God, and they never trade away God's revelations for a cheap price. These will receive their recompense from their Lord. God is the most efficient in reckoning. So what happened to followers of Qoran? And why trade GOD s revelations with any other man s books/hadiths/source? GOD bless you . Peace.

Peace and welcome. verses are the words of GOD . Hadiths/words of men are not! Hikmah is understanding and applying GOD s "verses" in our life not just reciting them. GOD said ( yes in verses) that Qoran is complete,fully detailed ,has the explanations of everything. Understanding that NOTHING important to our salvation is outside it is part of that Hikmah. GOD also said He teaches Qoran and explains Qoran( yes in verses) . Nobody else can give you in their words/sayings or has authority that GOD said only He has and can do. Claiming that someone else can give us or has anything that is beneficial for our salvation is not what GOD is saying in Qoran. Traditional Islam and GOD s true Islam are not the same. True Islam is not a religion given to Mohammed, it is a state of mind to submit to GOD s authority Alone . No partners! Each one of us needs to believe that GOD alone and Qoran alone does this through our own study/striving/pondering/ believing ...His verses asking GOD to give us the Hikmah. i.e Not relying on anyone else! GOD has clearly defined for us the role of Qoran and has shown us why GOD s argument in Qoran is the best. Basically Qoran is all we need for our redemption/salvation.If anything else was important and essential for our salvation GOD would have told us to follow/use it. GOD did not forget to mention anything else like hadiths or any other men s book. 1969 وَما نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلّا بِأَمرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ ما بَينَ أَيدينا وَما خَلفَنا وَما بَينَ ذٰلِكَ وَما كانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا Prophet Mohammed left us only Qoran, he did not have any other men s books nor lused any other books during his life. Does GOD say that Qoran is fully detailed,complete and instructs the prophet to use Qoran alone?619 قُل أَىُّ شَىءٍ أَكبَرُ شَهٰدَةً قُلِ اللَّهُ شَهيدٌ بَينى وَبَينَكُم وَأوحِىَ إِلَىَّ هٰذَا القُرءانُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُم لَتَشهَدونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللَّهِ ءالِهَةً أُخرىٰ قُل لا أَشهَدُ قُل إِنَّما هُوَ إِلٰهٌ وٰحِدٌ وَإِنَّنى بَرىءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ Warn all generations with this Qoran. 6114-115 أَفَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَبتَغى حَكَمًا وَهُوَ الَّذى أَنزَلَ إِلَيكُمُ الكِتٰبَ مُفَصَّلًا وَالَّذينَ ءاتَينٰهُمُ الكِتٰبَ يَعلَمونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِن رَبِّكَ بِالحَقِّ فَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُمتَرينَ وَتَمَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدقًا وَعَدلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ GOD s words are enough for salvation. GOD has provided His words for Adam to redeem him,and GOD does the same for all humans. He provides His words and insists they are sufficient for redemption. The argument that Ahadiths or any men s books/words are useful is nil as far as redemption is concerned. But if one argues there is some other use for them like science,harry potter,medical books,history books and all sorts of other books,then they are free to do so. However Qoran alone is enough for our redemption. If we believe in GOD,then we should believe GOD as well,His words never run out. However, many are not satisfied to use Qoran alone- QORAN WAHDAHU- they need other materials!) 1746 ...وَإِذا ذَكَرتَ رَبَّكَ فِى القُرءانِ وَحدَهُ وَلَّوا عَلىٰ أَدبٰرِهِم نُفورًا "When you preach GOD using Qoran alone, they run away in aversion." 362 وَالقُرءانِ الحَكيمِ Qoran is Hakeem 101 الر تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ الحَكيمِ 358 ذٰلِكَ نَتلوهُ عَلَيكَ مِنَ الـٔايٰتِ وَالذِّكرِ الحَكيمِ Hikmah is contained within Qoran itself,. "Litubayyina linnas" is also contained in Qoran, i.e Qoran ( Coming through you ) will do this 262 تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ المُبينِ Qoran is mubeen. 515مُبي يٰأَهلَ الكِتٰبِ قَد جاءَكُم رَسولُنا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُم كَثيرًا مِمّا كُنتُم تُخفونَ مِنَ الكِتٰبِ وَيَعفوا عَن كَثيرٍ قَد جاءَكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ نورٌ وَكِتٰبٌ نٌ The messenger is Qoran. 3669 وَما عَلَّمنٰهُ الشِّعرَ وَما يَنبَغى لَهُ إِن هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ وَقُرءانٌ مُبينٌ i,e Messenger only brought Qoran. Nothing else but Qoran 651 وَأَنذِر بِهِ الَّذينَ يَخافونَ أَن يُحشَروا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم لَيسَ لَهُم مِن دونِهِ وَلِىٌّ وَلا شَفيعٌ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ "Bihi" is Qoran alone. Theses verses- and many other verses- are GOD s argument that He provides for us in Qoran to use Qoran alone. Any other authority used for our deen will be setting up partners with GOD s authority and is shirk. The choice is ours. GOD Alone or others or a mixture . However the mixture ,like others is a lethal dose of shirk. GOD bless you. Peace.
