CHAPTER 2️⃣ SURAH BAQARAH 1-2

2:1 Alif-Lam-Meem

2:2 This is a Book whereof there is absolutely no doubt concerning its authority and authenticity. And it leaves no doubts lingering in a seeking mind. It is a Guide for those who wish to journey through life in honor and security.

[NOTE: Rayib includes the meanings given in the first three lines. This Divine Writ, Al-Qur’an, is a Monograph that, when studied with an open mind, humility and sincerity, finds its own way from the mind to the heart. You will soon notice, as you proceed, that this scripture leaves no lingering doubts in a sincere, seeking mind. If you remember that this is a Book of guidance and treat it as such, the glittering reality will dawn upon you that this is a beacon of light! It is a Guide for all those who wish to journey through life in honor and security - Recorded on parchment ‘Raqq’ by honorable scribes appointed by the Messenger. 52:2, 80:11.

The Almighty Himself guarantees the truth of this revelation, its explanation and its preservation. It is absolutely free of contradictions.

Al-Qur’an = The Lecture or Monograph that finds its own way to sincere hearts, becoming Az-Zikr = The Reminder. 4:82, 10:37, 15:9, 29:48, 32:2, 52:2, 75:17, 80:11

4:82 Do they not reflect on the Quran? If it were from any other than Allah they would have found many contradictions in it.

10:37. This Qur'an could not have been produced other than Allah; it is to authenticate what is already present, and to give detailed explanation of the Book in which there is no doubt, from the Rabb of the worlds.

15:9 We have sent down this Reminder, and We will guard it.

29:48. (O Prophet) You were never able to read a book before this (Revelation), nor could you write anything with your own hand. Or else, those who try to disprove the truth might have some reason to doubt it.

( Note: 2:23. Biyameenik = With your right hand = With your own hand)

32:2. The revelation of the book, there is no doubt about it, from the rabb of the worlds.

52:2. And a well-scored Book it is.

75:17. Indeed, it is up to us to gather and the reading of it ( Note: He will bless whatever effort we put into its learning)*

80: 11. Nay, this is an Reminder.]

SALAT JISMANI ( KHARA HONA, RUKU aur SAJDA KARNA ( SIRF QURAN KI AYAAT PARHNA ) ) AUR AAMAAL ( IS NIZAAM KO QAIM KARNA JO ALLAH KE HUKMON KI PAIRWI MEIN AASANI PEDA KARTA HAI ) *

2 : 3, 2 : 177, 22 : 41, 94 : 7 ke qareeb se Allah ke ehkamaat par amal karte hue salat ka nizaam qaim karen .

WAQT KI JISMANI SALAT :

17 : 78, 11 : 114, 24 : 58 ( raazdari, FAJAR aur EESHA ki SALAT)

DOSRE MATLAB : Allah aur firshton ki taraf se parhi jane wali salat ibadat nahi ho sakti. Allah kisi ke liye ruku aur sajda nahi karta aur nah hi mominon ko dosray mominon ko ruku aur sajda karna chahiye. is terhan ki salat ka allag maienay hona chahiye .

Salat ki yeh doosri qisam hai jis ke baray mein hum ayaat 33 : 43, 33 : 56, 9 : 103, aur 2 : 157 mein parhte hain .

Is doosri qisam ki salat ke sahih maienay tak pounchanay ke liye hamara nuqta aaghaz 33 : 56 hai. is aayat mein hum yeh seekhnay hain ke Allah aur farishtay nabi par duroood parhte hain aur isi nishani se mominon ko hukum diya gaya hai ke woh nabi par صلاہ parheen .

Dosray lafzon mein wohi amal Allah ki taraf se nabi ke liye, farishtay nabi ke liye aur momnin nabi ke liye karte hain .

Lehaza hamein quran ko talaash karna chahiye taakay koi aisa amal talaash kya ja sakay jo Allah , firshton aur momnin ke zariye nabi ke liye kya gaya ho .

Yeh talaash hamein aisay hi aik amal ki taraf le jati hai aur woh hai taied karna :

1- Allah –apne رسولوں ki himayat karta hai aur tamam momnin ki himayat karta hai :

Yaqeenan hum –apne رسولوں aur imaan walon ko duniya ki zindagi mein aur jis din gawah kharray hon ge madad karen ge. 40 : 51

2- firshton ko Allah ki taraf se hukum diya gaya hai ke woh rasool aur momnin ki himayat karen :

Aap ne ahal imaan se farmaya ke kya tumahray liye yeh kaafi nahi hoga ke tumhara rab teen hazaar farishtay utaar kar tumhari madad kere? 3 : 124

3- mominon ko Allah ke rasool ki himayat ka hukum :

yeh ( jung ka maal ) un ghareeb tarkin watan ke liye hai jinhein –apne gharon aur maal o asbaab se is waqt nikala gaya jab woh Allah ki Raza aur razamandi ke taalib thay aur Allah aur is ke rasool ki himayat karte thay. wohi sachey hain. 59 : 8

Agar tum ( imaan walay ) is ( paighambar ) ki himayat nahi karte to Allah pehlay hi is ki himayat kar chuka hai. 9 : 40

Jo log is par imaan laaye, is ki tazeem ki, is ki himayat ki aur is noor ki pairwi ki jo is ke sath nazil hui thi. woh kamyaab hain. 7 : 157

33 : 43 mein alfaaz ka tajzia karna bhi zaroori hai aur woh aisi ayaat mein lafz salaat ke sirf aik maienay ko kyun durust karte hain, woh yeh ke وجود؛ himayat karne ke liye .

1. - Farishton ko yeh ikhtiyar nahi hai ke woh momnin ko barket den. tamam naematain Allah hi ki taraf se aati hain. farishtay kisi momin ko buland nahi karte. sirf Allah hi izzat ke Laiq hai. farishtay kisi insaan par reham nahi kar sakte. tamam rehmat Allah ki taraf se aati hai. farishtay kisi ko maaf karne ka ikhtiyar nahi rakhtay. tamam bakhshish sirf Allah ki taraf se hai. jo kuch farishtay kar satke hain woh Allah ke hukum ke mutabiq momnin ki madad kar sakte hain .

2- Isi terhan Allah momnin ke liye astaghfar nahi kere ga. Allah maaf karne wala hai. Allah kisi ko buland nahi karta. sirf wohi izzat ke Laiq hai. taham, Allah momnin ki madad karta hai ( paighambar Mohammad sale Allah alaihi wasallam ) inhen andheron se roshni ki taraf le jane ke liye .

3- Isi terhan, jab nabi mominon ko salat parhta hai, jaisa ke Allah ne usay 9 : 103 mein hukum diya hai, ya jab momnin nabi par namaz parhte hain, jaisa ke 33 : 56 mein hukum diya gaya hai, yeh madad aur madad ki peshkash ke maienay mein hai. .

4- Aakhir mein yeh batana zaroori hai ke madad ka amal, khuwa woh Allah ki taraf se nabi tak ho, ya firshton se nabi tak, ya momnin se nabi tak, sirf nabi zindagi mein hi ho sakta hai.

Nabi ab mar chuke hain, woh mominon ki himayat karne ke qabil nahi hain ( 9 : 103 ), aur nah hi momin is ki himayat kar satke hain ( 33 : 56 )

Yeh sach hai ke SAJDA ka matlab itaat, Allah ke qanoon ke samnay sir tasleem khham karna hai

16 : 49. is aayat se hamein yeh andaza nahi lagana chahiye ke har cheez ka dimagh insanon jaisa hota hai. yahan tak ke agar hum is terhan ke khayaali mafroozay ko maan letay hain, to zehni waqeat bhi jismani waqeat hain. woh aliktran ke taamul ka nateeja hain. dar haqeeqat un tamam makhloqaat ka sajda jo hum mehsoos karte hain woh jismani hai. koi bhi waqea jo hamaray paanch hawaas ke zareya mehsoos kya ja sakta hai aik jismani waqea hai. jab woh aik dosray ke sath baat cheet karte hain to atom pur aman tareeqay se kkhuda ke qawaneen ke samnay hathyaar daal dete hain. jab pani jim jata hai to woh pur aman tor par kkhuda ke qanoon ke samnay sir tasleem khham kar deta hai aur phialta hai. jab usay aik khaas had tak garam kya jata hai to yeh bukharat ban jata hai. jab hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, aur oxygen ke atom aik khaas tarteeb mein ikathay hotay hain to woh اڈینائن, سائٹوسین, گوانائن, aur thamin Nami adday banatay hain. aur jab yeh bunyadain aik khaas tarteeb mein aik dosray se mil jati hain, jo kkhuda ki taraf se pehlay se tarteeb di gayi hain, woh DNAe banatay hain jo zindagi samait nai khususiyaat aur waqeat peda karte hain. hamaray jism ka har khaliya aur uzoo kkhuda ke qanoon ke tabay hai. yeh sab kkhuda ke liye sajda ka jismani muzahira hain. koi taajjub ki baat nahi, poori kaayenaat ko kkhuda ke tabay karne ke liye kaha gaya hai ( 3 : 83؛ 13 : 15 ). dilchasp baat yeh hai ke un dono ayaat mein aik hi khayaal ko dekhaya gaya hai phir bhi 3 : 83 mein feal asslma ( arz kya gaya ) istemaal sun-hwa hai jab ke 13 : 15 mein feal یسجدو ( sajda karna ) istemaal sun-hwa hai. yeh is baat ka mazboot saboot hai ke dono feal aik hi simntk field se talluq rakhtay hain. jaisa ke hum jantay hain, kkhuda ke agay sir tasleem khham karna sirf aik zehni amal nahi hai balkay aik jismani amal bhi hai, jaisay ke mehnat karna, kkhuda ka pegham pahunchana, ghareebon ko khana khilana waghera .

THE MYTH THAT WOMEN HAVE TO "OBEY" THEIR HUSBANDS

The Qur'an was sent down to a disbelieving people who treated women as second class citizens. Their view was that women's duty is to obey men and to serve their needs. To this day, so-called religious Muslims have inherited this chauvinism. They approach the Qur'an with a pre-acquired mentality. The intention is not to totally surrender to Allah, rather to find ways to adapt the Qur'an to their twisted objectives.

The verse they think they found is 4:34 quoted below:

"Men are to support women by what Allah has bestowed on them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The righteous women are obedient/dutiful women (QAANITAAT / قانتات) they keep private, the matters for which Allah would keep watch over.

As for those women from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in their sleeping place, and go away from them.

Then if they yield to you (فان اطعنكم), do not seek a way over them; Allah is High, Great." (Qur'an 4:34)

UNDERSTANDING OF قانتات - QAANITAAT

These people fail to comprehend the WORD 'QAANITAAT قانتات, women who are obedient/dutiful, which is referring to believing women who are obedient and dutiful to Allah.

They say it refers to the husband.

Some of these insincere people even translate the Qur'an and put their twisted interpretation in the translation.

Let us see what the word actually means from a Quranic point of view.

Maryam, a devout believer, was referred to in the Qur'an using the same term:

"Maryam, daughter of Imran, she guarded her chastity, so We breathed Our spirit into her. She accepted the truth of her Lord's words and Scriptures: she was truly obedient/dutiful (قانتين (Qur'an 66:12)

Maryam was never known to have a husband, this word used in this verse can only refer to her being obedient to Allah alone.

The following verse describing the believers also uses this expression:

"For submitting men and women, for believing men and women, for obedient/dutiful men and women (والقانتين والقانتات, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward" (Qur'an 33:35)

As can be seen, the word is associated with only being devoted to Allah.

In fact, a study of the Qur'an reveals that the root word (ق-ن-ت) has always been used in the Qur'an to refer to believing women and men who obey Allah.

Here are some examples:

"Abraham was truly an example, obedient/dutiful (قانتا) to Allah and true in faith. He was not an idolater." (Qur'an 16:120)

"...those who are steadfast, truthful, were the obedient/dutiful ones (قانتين), who spend (in Allah's cause) and pray before dawn for forgiveness.' (Qur'an 3:17)

"All that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, everything is the obedient (قانتون) to His will." (Qur'an 2:116)

"And stand before Allah as obedient ones (قانتين)." (Qur'an 2:238)

"Maryam, be obedient (اقنتي) to your Lord, prostrate and bow down with those who bow" (Qur'an 3:43)

"Everyone in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, there are all the obedient ones قانتون" (Qur'an 30:260)

As can be seen, the word is used to refer to obeying Allah and being devoted to Him.

"Men are to support women by what Allah has bestowed on them over one another and for what they spend of their money.

The righteous women (صالحات) are obedient/dutiful women (قانتات); they keep private the matters for which Allah would keep watch over. As for those women from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in their sleeping place, and go away from them.

Then If they yield to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is High, Great." (Qur'an 4:34)

i.e. believing righteous women (صالحات) are obedient to Allah (قانتات) - a common Quranic theme.

TO CONCLUDE, it does not make Quranic sense to say that 'qaanitaat قانتات' in the above verse refers to women who are obedient to the husbands. 'Qaanitaat قانتات' are those women who obey Allah and are dutiful to Him, just as the word is used in the rest of the Qur'an.

UNDERSTANDING OF "ان اطعنكم - IF THEY YIELD TO YOU/ OBEY YOU"

"...As for those women from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in their sleeping place, and go away from them. Then if they yield to you / obey you (فان اطعنكم), do not seek a way over them; Allah is High, Great." (Qur'an 4:34)

Let us establish important aspects of the verse:

1⃣This verse is for a situation where there is a marital problem between the two but it is the wife who is the main contributor to the situation but is not realising it.

2⃣The situation is such that marriage is on the brink of divorce as the verse after, 4:35 is suggesting ways to get the couple back together using external help.

Given this, we see that this portion of the verse, which follows after the husbands attempt at reconciliation is mentioned, is referring to a realisation of the wife of her errors and thus "Then if they yield to you / obey you - فان اطعنكم" is referring her responding to the husbands attempts (i.e. "advise them, and abandon them in their sleeping place, and go away from them") - again, in this case, the wife is in error. "if they yield to you / obey you - ان اطعنكم here, is referring to her reverting back to understanding (the deviation from which is causing the marital problems) upon husband's attempts.

Therefore, it is not saying women must 'obey' their husbands in marriage.

This point is further emphasised by the use of the Arabic word "fa / ف" to link the two together, which means "Then / So / in that case"...i.e. "then(ف) if they then yield to you - فان اطعنكم". This emphasises that this section is referring to the previous bit (the husband's attempts at reconciliation).

READERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF A FAULTY TRANSLATION IN CIRCULATION:

"But if they return to obedience."

This translation is erroneous as the verse originally reads:

فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلا

It does not have "return to" in the original Arabic text.

This was put in by chauvinistic translators who wanted to show that originally, by default the wife must "obey" the husband (inserting "return to" would help in achieving this by indicating that default state was obedience!).

The part of the verse is in verbal form referring to her responding the husbands advice, which they changed to nominal form to help spread their idea that in a marriage women must "obey" their husbands - something which the verse is not saying.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN BY "NUSHOOZ / نشوز" ON THE WIFE'S PART?❓

"As for those women from whom you fear desertion (nushooz / نشوز), then you shall advise them..."

Some people on the other hand, who do not have a proper understanding of the Arabic vocabulary, or rely only on a single translation and carry a twisted aim, think that the word "nushooz" means "disobedience".

The word actually has meanings such as "rebellion" or "desertion". It is erroneous to say that it means "disobedience".

The reason to why they hope to assert the understanding that "nushooz" simply means "disobedience" is so that they can imply that the wife must be in "obedience" to the husband under normal marital conditions.

However, this is not true with the actual meaning of the word. If a wife shows "nushooz", she is not being "disobedient".

Even if assuming they are correct, we find in another verse that a wife can also experience "nushooz" from her husband:

"If a wife fears desertion (nushooz نشوز)from her husband, neither of them will be blamed if they come to a peaceful settlement, for peace is best.

Although human souls are prone to selfishness, if you do good and are mindful of Allah, He is well aware of all that you do." (Qur'an 4:128)

So, if we were to go by their understanding of the word and their deductions, the husband must also obey his wife! The truth is however, the word does not mean "disobedience" and neither the husband nor the wife are being commanded to "obey" one another.

SUMMARY

4:34/35 is dealing with problems in the marriage where the wife has deviated from possessing the qualities of a believer and thus "if they yield to you / obey you - ان اطعنكم" is them yielding to the husbands' exhortation / attempts at reconciliation advised in the verse (i.e. husbands will "advise them / فعظوهن" etc.). Therefore, it is not at all referring to a normal marriage state where a wife "obeys" her husband.

قانتات / Qaanitaat is a title for believing women who are devoted to Allah alone and is never used in the Qur'an in any other context.

To a believer who is well versed in the Qur'an, listening to or reading this verse instinctively leads him or her to interpret it in the way we have done in this article.

However, the insincere people out there are those whose aim is not to study the Qur'an for guidance, but to find religious basis for their preconceived views and motives coming from other sources.

These people are disguised as believers and follow an inherited religion.

Once a believer finds the true Quranic interpretations, no matter what other human beings or books say, he follows the path Allah made clear to him in the Qur'an.

The believing husband and wife co-operate with mutual understanding and consideration. This originates from their innate believer personalities of being self-sacrificing, caring and understanding.

There is not the slightest master-slave inclination in their relationship as they are devoted to Allah and take the Qur'an as their guide.

"One of His signs is that He created for you spouses like your selves so that you may live with them with affection and mercy - there are signs in this for people who reflect" (Qur'an 30:21)

THE CORRECT TIME TO BREAK FAST IN RAMADHAN

The times to begin and end fast are detailed in the following verse of Surah Al-Bakarah:

وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْل

"Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black. Then fast to the night." (Qur'an 2:187)

Raaton ko khao pio yahan tak ke tumko syahi e shab ki dhari se sapedha subh ki dhari numaya nazar aa jaye tab yeh sab kaam chodh kar raat tak apna roza poora karo

The time to begin fasting in the morning is when light is first seen.

The time to stop fasting is when it is "NIGHT (LAYL/ ليل)".

That is the actual word used in the Qur'an, NOT SUNSET'.

'Night' refers to the time when the sky becomes such that we would tell someone it is night time.

The verse reads atimmoo al-siyaam ilaa al-layl - اتموا الصيام الي الليل: "complete the fast to the night" literally, i.e. to fast "to the night".

Some erroneous translations read "until night" or "until nightfall" - both are incorrect, the correct translation is "to the night".

The Qur'an is in a human language and uses human beings' understanding of how they use the vocabularies in the language.

MANY MUSLIMS BREAK FASTS WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING, WE WOULD NOT CALL THAT 'NIGHT / ليل' at all as it is still bright outside - neither at the time of the prophet, nor today.

At such a time, the word 'NIGHT / ليل' is NEVER USED to DESCRIBE that TIME OF DAY.

ARGUMENT: Allah says He merges night with day and day with night in the Qur'an (i.e. 3:27).

Raat ko din mein pirota hua le aata hai aur din ko raat mein

This indicates there is an overlap in which day and night are merged (sunset and sunrise).

This means it is Quranically correct to consider sunset to be night hence we can break our fast at that time.

This appears to be a valid point.

However, there is a mistaken understanding here.

The merging time 'zones' (sunrise and sunset) are being thought of as overlaps of complete night and complete day.

This is NOT the CORRECT WAY to visualise a 'merging'.

When Allah is merging the day and night, for instance at sunset, it starts off as 100% day 0% night, then 99% day 1% night, so on until it is 0% day 100% night.

It is not an overlap of complete night and day (then, no change in light would be observed!).

Thus, the definition of the word "night (layl / ليل)" is not realised during sunset.

ARGUMENT: We start fasting when we first see day light, we do not wait for it to be fully day.

Likewise, we do not have to wait for it to be fully night to consider it officially night to break our fasts.

The precise times for the two ends of fasting times are being described in the verse.

During a 'sunset', it is not 'night', which is what the verse specifies as the time to end fast.

Here, one is trying to superimpose the start time of fasting onto the end time, even though the end time has been clearly stated separately - the motive here is to find a way to believe it is sunset.

A believer has to take the teaching of the verse first and foremost, and not apply a preconceived understanding of fasting times to suit his own needs.

ARGUMENT: How do you know how to define 'night' ? ❓

Maghrib / sunset can be the start of night because the Qur'an does not define for us what night is.

Besides the point that the use of the word "night" is in its self sufficient, the Qur'an has expressions for 'night', 'day' as well as 'sunrise' and 'sunset'.

For example:

أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا

"Establish the prayer from declining of the sun / sunset (dulook al-shams / دلوك الشمس) to the darkness of the night (ليل / layl), and the Qur'an at dawn, surely the Qur'an at dawn is witnessed." (Qur'an 17:78)

Salat qayam karo zawal-e-aftaab (declining of the sun) se lekar raat ke andhere tak, aur fajr ke Quran ka bhi intezam karo, kyunke Quran e fajr mashood (witnessed) hota hai.

The words "DULOOK AL-SHAMS / دلوك الشمس" used in the verse means 'setting of the sun / sunset'.

Therefore, there is an expression for maghrib / sunset in the Qur'an.

Furthermore, the word "layl / ليل", 'night' is used in the above verse too.

Here we can see that in the Qur'an, there are words for 'sunset' and 'night', and also notice that night is not the same as sunset (since both are identified separately).

The verse of fasting (2:187) uses the word "layl / ليل", 'night' to describe when to finish fasting. If Allah meant sunset, he would have chosen the right word for it.

Furthermore, "night / layl" is described as "darkness (غسق / ghasaq)", i.e. "darkness of the night (غسق اليل / ghasaq al-layl)", further emphasising what night is.

CONCLUSION

One may break his fast when he would simply call the time "night" conscientiously, and not 'day' ie. it should not feel like day.

There is no fixed way specified - the important thing is that the believer is sincere in following the Qur'an and feels the conditions for 'night' is met.

“If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of Allah. They follow nothing but speculation – they are only guessing.” (Qur’an 6:115-116)

Tumhare Rubb ki baat sacchayi aur insaf ke aitebar se kamil hai, koi uske farameen ko tabdeel karne wala nahin hai aur woh sab kuch sunta aur jaanta hai.

Agar tum un logon ki aksariyat ke kehne par chalo jo zameen mein baste hain to woh tumhein Allah ke raaste se bhatka denge, woh to mehaz gumaan par chalte aur qayaas-aaraiyan karte hain.

WHAT AUTHORITY ARE ALLAH MESSANGERS GIVEN?

WHAT AUTHORITY ARE ALLAH MESSANGERS GIVEN❓

The messengers of God are sent to deliver various messages from God, while the messengers who are also prophets are assigned the task of delivering God's Scriptures to mankind. It is important for believers to understand the role of the messengers and also the authority that God gives them. It is of equal importance to understand what lies outside the authority of the messengers of God. We find that the majority of the cases of idolizing a messenger of God can be traced to the fact that the followers of a messenger ascribe to him greater authority than what God has given him.

WHAT A MESSANGER IS❓

1️⃣ DELIVERER OF GOD'S MESSAGE

A messenger of God is entrusted with the task of delivering a message from God to the people. The message entrusted to a messenger can be any one or combination of the following:👇

1- Delivering a new Book/Scripture to a people.

2- Delivering specific messages to a people.

3- Unveiling information that has been kept hidden inside a Scripture.

4- Confirming an existing Scripture and calling the people to return to the path of God after they have deviated.

Delivering God's message is therefore the focal point and duty of any messenger. God sees to it that His messengers accomplish this duty to its completion.

O you messenger, convey what was brought down to you from your Lord. If you do not, then you have not delivered His message. 5:67

2️⃣ WARNER DELIVERER OF NEWS, TEACHER AND PURIFIER

When God sends a messenger to a people, this messenger does not deliver the message and leaves in the way a postman does after delivering a letter, rather, the messenger spends his whole life as a preacher to his people. Numerous Quranic verses tell us that messengers are sent as warners, deliverers of news, teachers and purifiers. We have many examples in the Quran of messengers who spent many years attempting to guide their people and purify them from their sins. The despairing words of Noah to God in Sura 71 provide such example

He said, "My ALLAH, I have invited my people night and day, but my invitation increased them in nothing other than evasion!*

Whenever I invited them, that You may forgive them, they placed their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, persisted, and acted with great arrogance.

Then I invited them aloud.

Then I announced to them openly and also confided with them privately 71:5-9

Messengers are sent to their people as teachers and purifiers (by inviting them to the straight path of ALLAH)

We also sent you a messenger from amongst you to recite Our revelations to you and to purify you, and to teach you the Scripture and wisdom, and to teach you what you knew not. 2:151

Messengers are also sent as warners and deliverers of news

We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of news and a warner. 2:119

We have sent to you a messenger serving as a witness over you. 73:15

There was none from among the People of the Book who was not required to believe in him before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he (Jesus) will be a witness against them. 4:159

How will it be when We bring a witness from every nation and bring you as a witness over these? 4:41

What a messenger is not

As presented above, the Quranic words are clear in establishing what authority is given to God's messengers. Equally, God makes it very clear as to what authority is not given to His messengers.

1- Warner but not enforcer

We read a clear message in the Quran related to the role of the messenger as a deliverer of God's message without being an enforcer of the message:

So remind, for you are but a reminder. You are not a controller over them. 88:21-22

Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, there is no god except Him, and keep away from the mushrikeen.

Had God willed, they would not have committed shirk. We did not appoint you a guardian over them, nor are you a trustee over them. 6:106-107

Allah asserts that the messenger is only to deliver the message and warn. A messenger is not appointed as a guardian, nor an enforcer.

Say, "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment. I am not a trustee over you." 10:108

If they turn away, then your sole duty is the delivery (of the message), and God is Seer of the servants. 3:220

Say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills shall believe and whoever wills shall disbelieve. 18:29

Once again, the emphasis on the fact that the messenger has no power to enforce the message on anyone is strongly stated.

IDOLATRY

IDOLATRY ACCORDING TO THE QURAN

Many Muslims incorrectly assume that idol worship is restricted to worshipping statues or simply attributing other Allah’s with the Rab Almighty.

Although statue worship and attributing other forms of deities with Allah is NO DOUBT a form of idolatry, limiting it to this understanding is untenable from the Quran's perspective.

Idol worship from the Quran's perspective can take many forms.

Here are some examples:

(1) ONE'S OWN EGO AND DESIRE AS AN IDOL

25. 43

"Have you seen him who takes his desires (passion, impulse, lust) (Arabic: Hawahu) for his God (Arabic: Illahahu)? Will you then be a protector over him?"

(2) INTERCESSORS AS IDOLS

10:18

“They serve, besides Allah, things that hurt them not nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do ye indeed inform Allah of something He knows not, in the heavens or on earth? Glory to Him! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!"

(3) WORSHIP OF DEAD SAINTS AND PROPHETS AS IDOLATRY

16.20-21

“Those whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing and are themselves created. (They are things) dead, lifeless: nor do they know when they will be raised up”

18:102

“Do the Unbelievers think that they can take My servants as protectors besides Me? Verily We have prepared Hell for the Unbelievers for (their) entertainment”

17.56-57

“Say: "Call on those - besides Him - whom you fancy: they have neither the power to remove your troubles from you nor to change them." Those whom they call upon do desire (for themselves) means of access to their Rab which of those who are nearest and they hope for His Mercy and fear His Wrath: for the Wrath of thy Lord is something to take heed of”

Prophets would never have allowed any form of idolatry and would have asked their followers to study the scripture instead.

3.79

“ It is not (possible) for any human that God should give him the Book and the wisdom and prophethood, then he should say to men: Be my servants rather than Allah's; but rather (he would say): Be worshippers of the Rab by virtue of your teaching the Book and your reading (it yourselves)”

3.80

“Nor would he instruct you to take angels and prophets for Rab and patrons. What! would he bid you to unbelief after ye have bowed your will (To God in Islam)?”

BUT PEOPLE CLAIM THEY ARE DOING NOTHING WRONG:

39:3

“ Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "WE ONLY SERVE THEM IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY BRING US NEARER TO ALLAH." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful”

Even though whom they seek help from are only servants and created beings like them:

7.194

Indeed! those on whom you call beside Allah are slaves like you. Call on them now, and let them answer you, if ye are truthful!”

(4) TAKING JINNS AS IDOLS

6.100

“Yet they make the Jinns equals with Allah, though Allah did create the Jinns; and they falsely, having no knowledge, attribute to Him sons and daughters. Praise and glory be to Him! (for He is) above what they attribute to Him!”

(5) PROPERTY, GOODS AND ASSETS AS IDOLS

18:34

“And he had fruit. And he said to his comrade, when he spoke with him: I am more than you in wealth, and stronger in respect of men”

And finally (from verses 34 to 44), he realised what he had done which amounted to nothing short of idol worship.

18:42

So his fruits (and enjoyment) were encompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning his hands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbled to pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say, "WOE IS ME! WOULD I had never ascribed partners to my Rab and Cherisher!"

We clearly note how the man revelled in his wealth and status and thought that his bounty was beyond reproach. Rather than remembering His Rab who was his provider, he entered into a form of idolatry by directing his desire and worship towards his material wealth.

18:43-44 "Nor had he numbers to help him against God, nor was he able to deliver himself. There, the (only) protection comes from God, the True One. He is the Best to reward, and the Best to give success"

(6) HOLDING OTHER SOURCES OTHER THAN WHAT IS REVEALED AS IDOLS*

6:19. Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "Allah is witness between me and you; This Quran has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides Allah there is another ilah?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth He is the one Allah, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining others with Him”

68.36 “What is the matter with you? How judge ye?”

68.37 “Or have ye a book through which ye learn”

68.38

“That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose?”

*(7) RELIGIOUS LEADERS, SCHOLARS AND REVERED PERSONALITIES AS IDOLS*

9:31

“They have taken as LORDS BESIDE ALLAH THEIR RABBIS AND THEIR MONKS and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One ALLAH. There is no ILAH save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!”

MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD BE WRONG?

Could millions of Muslims around the world be wrong?

🟥Six interlocked truths set the basis:

Among the huge number of truths asserted in the Quran, the following six interlocked truths set the basis.

1️⃣First: The Quran has all the details of the religion-6:114, 12:111, 16:89

2️⃣Second: The sunna of God is the only authorised sunna to follow-33:62

3️⃣Third: Muslims should not follow any hadith other than the Quran-45:6, 7:185, 7:2-3, 68:37, 77:50

4️⃣Fourth: God is the only lawmaker-6:114,66:1

5️⃣Fifth: The only duty of the messenger is to deliver God's message-5:99

6️⃣Sixth: Upholding any source of religious law other than the Quran is an act of shirk-42:21

WHERE DID ALLAH SAY THE QURAN IS NOT ENOUGH AND YOU NEED HADITH?

Nowhere in the Qur’an does God says you need hadith to explain the Qur’an. This is not surprising because we know that God is the teacher of the Quran (see Qur’an 55:1-2).

The words of the Quran speak in Q19:64, saying, "We come down in accordance with the commandments of your Lord. To Him belongs the past, present, and future.” The Quran proclaims that the Quran is complete, perfect, and fully detailed (see Qur’an 6:19, 38, 114, 115; 50:45), and that religious regulations not specifically instituted in the Quran constitute a religion other than Islam (see Qur’an 42:21, 17:46).

True believers uphold the Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but the Quran.

ABRAHAM MONOTHEIST

Surat No 2 : سورة البقرة - Ayat No 135

وَ قَالُوۡا کُوۡنُوۡا ہُوۡدًا اَوۡ نَصٰرٰی تَہۡتَدُوۡا ؕ قُلۡ بَلۡ مِلَّۃَ اِبۡرٰہٖمَ حَنِیۡفًا ؕ وَ مَا کَانَ مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِکِیۡنَ ﴿۱۳۵﴾

They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists."

aur yeh ( yahudi aur essai musalmanon say ) kehtay hain kay : tum yahudi ya essai hojao , raah-e-raast per aajao gay . keh do kay : nahi , balkay ( hum to ) Ibrahim kay deen ki perwi keren gay jo theek theek seedhi raah per thay , aur woh unn logon mein say naa thay jo Allah kay sath kissi ko shareek thehratay hain .

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah ]. And he was not of the polytheists.

Ibrahim naa yahudi thay , naa nasrani , balkay woh to seedhay seedhay musalman thay , shirk kernay walon mein kabhi shamil nahi huye .

Surat No 4 : سورة النساء - Ayat No 125

وَ مَنۡ اَحۡسَنُ دِیۡنًا مِّمَّنۡ اَسۡلَمَ وَجۡہَہٗ لِلّٰہِ وَ ہُوَ مُحۡسِنٌ وَّ اتَّبَعَ مِلَّۃَ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمَ حَنِیۡفًا ؕ وَ اتَّخَذَ اللّٰہُ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمَ خَلِیۡلًا ﴿۱۲۵﴾

And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allah while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth? And Allah took Abraham as an intimate friend.

aur uss say behtar kiss ka deen hoga jiss ney apney chehray ( samet saray wajood ) ko Allah kay aagay jhuka diya ho , jabkay woh naiki ka khoogar bhi ho , aur jiss ney seedhay sachay Ibrahim kay deen ki perwi ki ho . aur ( yeh maloom hi hai kay ) Allah ney Ibrahim ko apna khaas dost bana liya tha .

Surat No 6 : سورة الأنعام - Ayat No 74

وَ اِذۡ قَالَ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمُ لِاَبِیۡہِ اٰزَرَ اَتَتَّخِذُ اَصۡنَامًا اٰلِہَۃً ۚ اِنِّیۡۤ اَرٰىکَ وَ قَوۡمَکَ فِیۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیۡنٍ ﴿۷۴﴾

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father Azar, "Do you take idols as deities? Indeed, I see you and your people to be in manifest error."

aur ( uss waqt ka ziker suno ) jab Ibrahim ney apney baap aazar say kaha tha kay : kiya aap button ko khuda banaye bethay hain-? mein dekh raha hun kay aap aur aap ki qoam khuli gumrahi mein mubtala hain .

Surat No 14 : سورة إبراهيم - Ayat No 35

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.

aur yaad kero woh waqt jab Ibrahim ney ( Allah taalaa say dua kertay huye ) kaha tha kay : ya rab ! iss shehar ko pur aman bana dijiye , aur mujhay aur meray beton ko iss baat say bachaiye kay hum button ki parastish keren .

Surat No 16 : سورة النحل - Ayat No 12

وَ سَخَّرَ لَکُمُ الَّیۡلَ وَ النَّہَارَ ۙ وَ الشَّمۡسَ وَ الۡقَمَرَ ؕ وَ النُّجُوۡمُ مُسَخَّرٰتٌۢ بِاَمۡرِہٖ ؕ اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوۡمٍ یَّعۡقِلُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۱۲﴾

And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

aur uss ney din aur raat ko aur sooraj aur chaand ko tumhari khidmat per laga rakha hai , aur sitaray bhi uss kay hukum say kaam per lagay huye hain . yaqeenan inn baaton mein unn logon kay liye bari nishaniyan hain jo aqal say kaam len

Surat No 19 : سورة مريم - Ayat No 48

وَ اَعۡتَزِلُکُمۡ وَ مَا تَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ وَ اَدۡعُوۡا رَبِّیۡ ۫ ۖعَسٰۤی اَلَّاۤ اَکُوۡنَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّیۡ شَقِیًّا ﴿۴۸﴾

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."

aur mein aap logon say bhi alag hota hun , aur Allah ko chorr ker aap log jinn jinn ki ibadat kertay hain , unn say bhi , aur mein apney perwerdigar ko pukarta rahun ga . mujhay poori umeed hai kay apney rab ko pukar ker mein na-murad nahi rahun ga.

Surat No 21 : سورة الأنبياء - Ayat No 52

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

woh waqt yaad kero jab unhon ney apney baap aur apni qoam say kaha tha kay : yeh kiya moorten hain jinn kay aagay tum dharna diye bethay ho-?

FITNAH (TRIALS)

FITNAH' - A DEEPER MEANING BEHIND OUR TRIALS

"...We test you with evil and good as a trial (fitnatan)..." (21:35)

"...Nay it is a trial (fitnatan), but most of them do not know it" (39:49)

"We shall send the She-camel as a trial (fitnatan) for them..." (54:27)

"...your wealth and your children are only a trial (fitnatan)..." (64:15)

The Arabic word 'fitnah' is a nuanced expression and carries different meanings depending on context.

However, in light of the above verses, it is interesting to note that the word is actually derived from its primary signification meaning to burn something in the fire. This is attested by various Quranic verses and noted by grammarians.

However, the purpose of melting or smelting with fire as generally understood (usually with gold and silver) is done with a view to separate the good from the bad or to ascertain the degree of goodness.

In this way, trials can be seen as a means of purification, to separate good from the bad.

As noted by grammarians and lexicographers

"Fitnatan = a burning with fire. (T.). And The melting of gold and of silver (K, TA) in order to separate, or distinguish, the bad from the good. (TA.) - And [hence, or] from فَتَنَ signifying “ he melted, ” (T,) or from that verb as signifying“ he put into the fire (Msb,) gold, and silver for that purpose, (T, Msb,) it signifies A trial, or probation; (IAar, T, S, M, K, TA;) and affliction, distress, or hardship; (TA;) and [particularly] an affliction whereby one is tried, proved, or tested: (IAar, T, S, K, TA:) this is the sum of its meaning in the language of the Arabs: (T, TA: *)" [1]

"...or, as some say, and we purified thee with a [thorough or an effectual] purifying [like that of gold, or silver, by means of fire]: (TA:) [in many instances] فَتَنَهُ, aor. فَتِنَ , [inf. n. فَتْنٌ,] signifies He tried, or tested, him; whence, in the Kur 9:127, يُفْتَنُونَ means They are tried, or tested, by being summoned to war, against unbelievers or the like; or, as some say, by the infliction of punishment or of some evil thing.

(M.) فَتَنْتُم

" [2]

Our trials are indeed designed to test our resolve but not without purpose. They also have the ability to separate the impurities within us and purify us in a manner no different from the smelting of gold and silver which is carried out with a view to distinguish good from the bad.

QURANIC REQUIREMENTS FOR MARRIAGE

A number of requirements are mentioned in the Quran for marriage, they are:

1- The couple must both be at the age of marriage.

2- Believers may not marry disbelievers or mushrikeen.

3- The couple must make a genuine commitment to one another.

4- The marriage must be declared.

5- The marriage must be contracted.

6- The marriage must be intended as a permanent bond.

7- The man must pay a dowry to his bride.

FIRST: 1️⃣

THE AGE OF MARRIAGE

You shall test the orphans when they reach the age of marriage. Then if you sense in them sound judgement, you shall hand over to them their money. Do not consume it wastefully or quickly before they have grown up. Those who are rich shall not charge any wage, and whoever is poor can charge equitably. When you hand over to them their money, have witnesses in their presence. God suffices as Reckoner.

4:6. This Quranic verse clearly speaks of an age of marriage and links it to being “SOUND JUDGEMENT ”.

The key Arabic word “balaghu”, which means reaching puberty, is quite significant. Reaching puberty alone is not sufficient to be at an age of marriage. We must also incorporate the added significance of the words “then if you sense in them sound judgement”.

Naturally, not all minors will reach puberty and attain a certain degree of maturity at the same age, hence why Allah did not set a fixed age but left it to the parents and guardians.

SECOND: 2️⃣

BELIEVERS MAY NOT MARRY DISBELIEVERS OR MUSHRIKEEN.

Do not marry the mushrikaat (women who commit shirk) until they believe. A believing slave woman is better than a mushrikah even if you like her. And do not marry the mushrikeen (men who commit shirk) until they believe. A believing slave man is better than a mushrik even if you like him.

2:221. It goes without saying that the believers are not to marry atheists and disbelievers.

THIRD: 3️⃣

GENUINE COMMITMENT BETWEEN THE COUPLE

How could you take it back when you have been so close to one another, and after they had taken from you a strict covenant?

4:21. The words “strict covenant” indicate that when a couple marry they should make a genuine commitment to one another.

The words “strict covenant” indicate that when a couple marry they should make a genuine commitment to one another.

FOURTH: 4️⃣

MARRIAGE TO BE DECLARED

*There is no blame upon you if you announce your engagement to the women, or you keep it to yourself. Allah knows that you will think about them, but do not meet them secretly, unless it is for saying righteous words. Do not execute the marriage contract until the interm is fulfilled. And know that Allah knows your innermost thoughts, so beware of Him, and know that Allah is Forgiver, Forbearing.*

2:235 The words in 2:235 allow the engagement to be announced or kept secret, but that the marriage should not be kept secret “do not meet them secretly” but should be declared.*

FIFTH: 5️⃣

MARRIAGE SHOULD BE CONTRACTED

2:235. The words “contract the marriage” confirm that a marriage contract must be drawn rather than for couples agreeing to marry by mere verbal arrangements.

SIXTH: 6️⃣

PERMANENT BOND

*For a marriage to be lawful in the sight of Allah it must have the intention of being a permanent bond between man and woman. Any temporary kind of marriage is not lawful in the sight of Allah. Allah placed a number of conditions which must be met before a divorce can be contracted. These conditions rule out the option of having temporary marriages, and confirms that Allah regards marriage as a long lasting relationship and not a temporary arrangement. These conditions are:

1- The couple must wait 4 months (cooling period) before committing to divorce (2:226).

2- The couple must seek a council from the 2 families and genuinely attempt to reconcile* (4:35).

3- The wife should not be evicted from the marriage home unless she commits gross immorality* (65:1).

4- The man must pay the divorced wife a divorce compensation* (2:241).

5- If there are children, the man must pay children’s alimony* (2:233).

*6- In addition to children’s alimony, if the man divorces a wife who is nursing his child, he must pay for her food and clothes for two years.* (2:233).

SEVENTH: 7️⃣

PAYMENT OF THE DOWRY

And also married women, except what your right hand possesses. This is Allah’s decree that is binding over you. Beyond those, all others are permitted for you, so long as you employ your money for marriage purposes and not for illicit sex. Those among them who are pleasing to you, you shall pay them their decreed dowries. There is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to after the obligation. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.

4:24

There is no fixed amount for the dowry in the Quran, but it is to be decided according to every man’s means. The dowry could be a cash payment or a gift.

The words “pay them” indicates that the dowry is to be paid to the bride and not to her father.

CHAPTER 1️⃣ AL-FATIAH (THE KEY)

1️⃣ SURAH AL FATIAH

(Quran As It Explains Itself)*

1:1 In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful."

[The first Surah of the Qur’an is a petition the Almighty has taught us. It teaches us to seek His guidance and support as we pledge to live by His laws. It has been termed, "The Key” to the Book, and in fact, the title “Al-Fatihah” carries that meaning. Allah , in His Infinite mercy, instantly responds in the next Surah, “Here is the Book of guidance”

BISMILLAH-IR-RAHMAN-IR-RAHEEM

*With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Ultimate Source of Instant Beneficence and Eternal Mercy Who encompasses the entire Universe, nourishing and taking care of all things for becoming what they are meant to be; just as a mother's womb nourishes the embryo to completion without any returns.*

[Rahm in Rahman and Raheem encompasses all the meanings rendered. Before the next Surahs, BISMILLAH will be given a brief translation: With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness]

The marvels and the profound harmony in the Universe is a living witness that its Rabb is truly Worthy of all praise. All praiseworthy beings and wonderful things derive their magnificence from Him. Being awe-struck by any of His creation to the exclusion of His realization is nothing but shortsightedness.

All human achievements find their ultimate Source in Him since He is the exclusive Provider of all mental and physical resources.

3:189. And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is capable of all things.

9:112. They are the repenters, the worshipers, the thankful, the devout, the kneeling, the prostrating, the advocates of good and the prohibiters of vice, and the caretakers of the boundaries of Allah; and give good news to the believers.

35:27. Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky, thus We produce with it fruits of various colors? And of the mountains are peaks that are white, red, or some other color and intense black.]

1:2 Praise be to Allah, Rabb of the worlds.

1:3 The Almighty, the Merciful.

[And He is the Supreme Appointer of the System of Life that mankind may live by in order to attain success in both lives. All decisions in this System will be made according to Divine Commands given in this Book. And this System will most certainly prevail over all manmade systems in this world. The Divine law of Just Recompense is gradually taking mankind to the Day of Final Judgment in His Court to account for all they did with their gift of life.

This is a Day the advent of which is beyond any doubt.

3:189.And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is capable of all things.

9:32. They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses such and lets His light continue, even if the rejecters hate it.

17:111. And say: "Praise be to Allah who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness." And magnify Him greatly.

43:84. And He is the One who is a Allah in the heaven and a Allah on the earth. And He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable.

82:18. Then again, do you know what is the Day of Recompense?

Deen = The Divinely Prescribed System of Life. Yaum-id-Deen = The Day of Judgment = The Time of Ultimate Just Outcome = The Day of Resurrection = When the Divine System rules the earth as it rules the Universe.]

1:4 Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.

[Such will be the ones to establish the Divinely Prescribed System of Life on earth.

Iyyak = You alone. ‘

Abd and Ibadah, roots for Na’bud = Obedience = Service = Serving Allah by serving his creation. Usually, but erroneously translated exclusively as worship.

3:78.And from among them is a group who twist their tongues with the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not from the Book, and they say it is from Allah while it is not from Allah, and they say about Allah lies while they know.

5:44. We have sent down the Torah, in it is a guidance and a light; the prophets who have submitted judged with it for those who are Jewish, and the Devotees, and the Priests, for what they were entrusted of the Book of Allah, and they were witness over. So do not be concerned with the people but be concerned with Me; and do not purchase with My revelations a cheap price. And whoever does not judge with what Allah has sent down, then these are the rejecters.

12:40. What you serve besides Him are nothing except names which you have created, both you and your fathers, Allah has not sent down any authority for such. The judgment is for none except Allah. He has ordered that none be served except He. That is the true system, but most of the people do not know."]

1:5 You alone we serve, and You alone we seek for help.

[17:36 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for.]

1:6 Guide us to the straight path.

[2:47. O Children of Israel, remember My blessings that I had blessed you with, and that I had preferred you over all the worlds.

31:20. Did you not see that Allah has commissioned in your service what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and He has showered you with His blessings, both apparent and hidden? Yet from the people are some who argue about Allah with no knowledge nor guidance nor enlightening Book.]

1:7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those who have incurred the wrath, nor the misguided.

[2:61. And you said: "O Moses, we will not be patient to one type of food, so call for us your Lord that He may bring forth what the earth grows of its beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Would you trade that which is lowly with that which is good?" Descend Egypt, you will have in it what you have asked for. And they were stricken with humiliation and disgrace, and they remained under the wrath of Allah for they were disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and killing the prophets without right; this is for what they have disobeyed and transgressed.

7:152. Those who took the calf will be dealt with a wrath from their Lord and a humiliation in this worldly life. It is such that We punish the fabricators.

29:69. As for those who strive in Our cause, We will guide them to Our paths. For Allah is with the pious.

37:69. They had found their parents astray.

45:23.Have you seen the one who took his desire as his God, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah? Will you not remember?

61:5. And when Moses said to his people: "O my people, why do you harm me, while you know that I am a messenger of Allah to you?" But when they deviated, Allah diverted their hearts. And Allah does not guide the wicked people.

Ghadhab of Maghdhoob = Wrath = Anger = Being seized by Divine laws due to misdeeds. The term can be taken only figuratively when used in relation to Allah since He, unlike human tyrants, is not an emotional King and His Rule is the Rule of law.

3:6.He is the One who pictures you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god except He, the Noble, the Wise.

8:53.That is because Allah was not to change any blessing He bestowed upon a people, unless they change what is in themselves. Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.

13:11. Present with him and behind him are retainers, they preserve him from the command of Allah. Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change the condition of their souls. And if Allah wanted to harm a people, then there is no turning Him back, nor will they have any protector against Him.

figuratively when used in relation to Allah since He, unlike human tyrants, is not an emotional King and His Rule is the Rule of law.]

SALAT ACCORDING TO THE QURAN

SALAT - FROM QURAN ONLY PERSPECTIVE:

Start with purifying one self:

1️⃣ ABLUTION (wudu):

"O you who believe, WHEN YOU RISE to observe the Salat, you shall wash your faces and your arms to the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles." 5:6

"………… If you are ill or travelling, or if any of you has come from the toilet, or had sexual contact with the women, and you could not find water, you shall observe Tayammum by means of wiping your faces and hands with clean dry soil." 4:43

The purifying is 4 simple steps as above.

2️⃣ DIRECTION:

2:144

We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction....

3️⃣ TIMINGS:

1. Sala-al Fajr-DAWN PRAYER (24:58; 11:114).

2. Sala-al Esha-EVENING PRAYER (24:58; 17:78; 11:114)

SALAT AL-WUSTA

"Guard your al-Salawat, and (offer them as) al-Salat-al-Wusta (the middlemost salat) and stand before Allah as those who show attentive devotion." (2:238)

In 2:238 al-ṣalati l-wus'ṭā the word “Wusta" means, middle and it is an adjective, not a noun. Therefore it cannot be a name of a Salat.

The word 'middle' describes something that lies mid-way between other things, moderation. Here the word middle refers to amount of length - not make it long or very short.

The concept of THREE prayers comes from the Bible,

"As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."

- Psalms 55.16-17

ONLY 2⃣ SALAT AND NOT 5️⃣

3️⃣ POSITIONS:

The Quran gives us the three positions to be observed during the Salat. These are Standing, Bowing and Prostrating. The Salat starts in the standing position:

"So the angels called him while he was STANDING praying in the sanctuary: "Allah gives you news of John; confirming a word from Allah, a master, moral, and a righteous prophet." 3:39

"And if you are among them and you lead the Salat for them, let a group of them STAND with you and let them hold on to their weapons. Then ONCE THEY HAVE PROSTRATED let them be positioned behind you and let another group, who have not yet observed the Salat, observe the Salat with you while remaining cautious and while holding on to their weapons." 4:102

"We appointed Abraham to establish the Shrine: "You shall not idolize any other ALLAH beside Me, and purify My shrine for those who visit it, those who live near it, and THOSE WHO BOW AND PROSTRATE" 22:26

"Muhammad-the messenger of ALLAH, and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves. You see them BOWING AND PROSTRATING, as they seek God's blessings and approval" 48:29

From above verses we can establish that salat positions are in the order of STAND, BOW & FINALLY PROSTRATE (4:102). The salat ENDS in PROSTRATION and NOT SITTING ON KNEES

4 .THE WORDS:

1- "Recite what has been inspired to you of your Rabb book. There is no changing to His words and you will not find any refuge besides Him." 18:27

2- "You shall recite what is revealed to you of the book and observe the Salat." 29:45

3- "They are not all the same; among the people of the book are an upright nation, THEY RECITE ALLAH REVELATIONS during the night WHILE THEY PROSTRATE." 3:113

Salat words should be ONLY from The Quran and not ANY OTHER source. In prostration verses should be read to keep us in that position and not just the quick version as approved by mullahs.

SINCE Only Quran so...

- no duroods🚫

- no athayaats🚫

- no ameens🚫

....Do not be loud in your salat, nor quiet/private; but seek a path in between. 17:110

Salat cannot be silent or whispered

5️⃣ENDING OF SALAT (words) :

10:10

Their prayer in it is: "Glory be to our Allah" and their greeting in it is: "Peace," and the END OF THIER PRAYER is:

"Praise be to Allah, the Rabb of the

worlds!" (Alhumdulillah rabial Alalameen)

True ending is by praising Allah Swt who has blessed us.

End while STILL PROSTRATING and not giving salams left or right.

SOME SO CALLED MUSLIMS COMPROMISE

"If a Hadith agrees with the GOD’S AYATS

we will accept it and if it contradicts the Quran,

we will reject it”!

Such premise proves that these people do not

believe-acknowledge THE GOD’S assertions that

the Quran is: — "complete, perfect and fully detailed”

The moment they seek guidance from anything

besides the GOD’S WORD, no matter how "right"

it seems, they fall into ‘satan's trap’ (see 63:1)!

For they rejected, cover up ignoring THE GOD’S WORD

and set up another god besides THE GOD (18:57)

-The GOD’S WORD shall be our only source

of DEENI, knowledge well as TEACHINGS❗️

______________________________________

"We did not leave anything out of this book”

✅6:38

"HE sent down this book fully detailed”

✅6:114

Alif, Lam, Ra. A BOOK

whose AYATS are perfected

as fuṣṣilat-explained in detail

from THE ONE All-Wise and All-Acquainted

(THE GOD) that Serve you none but THE GOD'

Indeed I am to you a warner

from Him and a bearer of good tidings’!

✅ 11:1-4

______________________________________

▪️The GOD’S AYATS proclaims that

HIS BOOK is complete, perfect and fully

detailed (6:19, 6:38, 6:114, 6:115; 50:45)

and that DEENI REGULATIONS not specifically

instituted in the Quran constitute a DEEN

other than Islam, i.e., Submission (42:21, 17:46)

▪️The MUMINS uphold the GOD’S WORD,

the whole AYATS and nothing but the HIS BOOK,

This principle is confirmed by the Quran 17:46

proclaims that we shall uphold the ALLÂH ALONE

while HIS WORD, HIS AYATS ALONE!

The word "ALONE" occurs in the Quran 6 times:

7:70, 17:46, 39:45, 40:12 & 40:84, and 60:4.

All these occurrences refer to THE GOD!

It is often asked why some of us think

and do differently when the majority been

doing it for 1400 years and our ideas are

modern innovations, apologetics even,

dismantling 'islam' as handed down to us!

Blind following of forged hadith,

blind obedience to one or more of the five main imams, distorted historical traditions as well as our leaders are THE GOD’S shadow

on earth well as are not accountable for the

unjusts-wrongs they do while we must do

in their holy names to name but a few.

May our GOD guide us all to the path-way

that is closest to His way (18:24)

May we be of the ones OUR RABB loves

May our GOD bless you

MISTRANSLATION AND MISINTERPRETATIONS OF THE VERSES 81:19-23 by SUNNIES and RASHADIANS:

*Sunnies believes the messenger/رسول in the verse 81:19 is prophet Muhammad and Rashad Khalifa believed the messenger is himself (you can see this on his footnote)!*

*with the proper word by word translation of 81:20-21 we can expose their lies easily:*

*[81:20] Possessor of (ذی) power (قوه) with (عند) possessor of (ذی) throne (العرش) secure/firm (مکین)*

*- as you can see from the verse, the Messenger is powerful and Rashad and Muhammad weren't powerful and they weren't next to the possessor of throne (God)!*

*[81:21] Obeyed (مطاع) there (thamma/ثم) trustworthy (امین)*

*- the word "thamma/ثم" is a location adverb and it means "there" in all of it's occurrences (2:115 , 26:64 , 76:20).*

*Muhammad and Rashad weren't obeyed there in the presence of God, and can't really call a Human messenger "Trustworthy" in this life because they all make mistake and some may even desert their God given mission (prophet Johans/یونس).*

*- Now as you can guess the messenger in 81:19 was indeed Angel Gabriel:*

*[81:23] And certainly he (Muhammad) saw him (Gabriel) at the clear horizon.*

*- by mistranslating and misinterpreting this verses Rashadians and Sunnies are claiming that a Human can see God ! and this is completely rejection of the verse:*

*[42:51] And it is not for any mortal that God would speak to him, except through inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills with His permission. He is Most High, Wise.*

*- as you can clearly see, no Human (including all human messengers) is able to see God "at clear horizon"!*

*81:23. He saw him by the clear horizon*

Above verse Explain this verses 👇🏻

*53: 1 -7. As the star fell away*

*Your companion was not astray, nor was he deceived*

*Nor does he speak from personal desire.*

*It is not but a revleation revealed*

*He has been taught by One mighty in power.*

*Possessor of ultimate wisdom; he became stable.*

*While he was at the highest horizon.*

*42:51. It is not for any human being that God would speak to him, except through inspiration, or from behind a barrier, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills by His leave. He is the Most High, Most Wise.*

Above verse Explain this verses 👇🏻

*2:97 Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel," who has sent it down into your heart by Allah permission, authenticating what is already present, and a guide and good news for those who acknowledge.*

*2:253. Such messengers, We have preferred some to others; some of them talked to Allah, and He raised some of them in ranks, and We gave Jesus son of Mary the proofs and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah wished, the people after them would not have fought after the proofs had come to them, but they disputed, some of them acknowledged and some of them did not appreciate. Had Allah wished they would not have fought, but Allah does whatever He wishes.*

*4:164 Messengers of whom We have narrated to you from before, and messengers We have not narrated to you; and God spoke to Moses directly.*

Comparison between Quran and sunnah (hadith) on dogs

Are dogs considered dirty in Islam?

Are you allowed to have them?

Are they allowed to lick you?

Are their spit considered dirty?

Are you suppose to wash yourself 7x or whatever the dog licked?

In Surah maida 5:4 Qur'an

يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُم مِّنَ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: The good things are allowed to you, and what you have taught the dogs and birds of prey, training them to hunt-- you teach them of what Allah has taught you-- so eat of that which they catch for you and mention the name of Allah over it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

But, the Hadith says:

Al-Bukhaari and Muslim reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him throw away its contents, then wash it seven times.” Muslim added: “the first time with earth.” (Al-Bukhaari bi Haashiyat al-Sindi, 1/44; Muslim, 1/234).

When the Quran is saying “whatever the dogs catch for you is allowed to eat” the dogs catch with their mouths by the way and you can eat it.

Didn’t just one verse of Quran explained the whole thing?

Then why ask if dogs are dirty or wash 7x when Allah said to keep them and eat what they catch?

How come hadith is going against the Quran ? And you follow hadith and call dogs dirty animals?

Come on this is very clear.
