2:3 Those who believe in the Unseen, and establish the System of Salaat, and from Our provisions to them they spend.
[Establishing Salaat = The System in which Permanent Moral Values rule the hearts and minds of men and women. There are neither masters nor subjects in such a system, since therein prevails the Rule of Law.
2:177. It is NOT to TURN YOUR faces TOWARDS the EAST and the WEST, but PIOUS IS ONE WHO BELIEVES in ALLAH and the LAST DAY, and the ANGELS, and the BOOK, and the PROPHETS, and WHO GIVES MONEY OUT of LOVE to the RELATIVES, and the ORPHANS, and the NEEDY, and the WAYFARER, and THOSE WHO ASK, and to FREE the SLAVES; and WHO UPHOLDS the ESTABLISH SALAT, and WHO CONTRIBUTES TOWARDS PURIFICATION(ZAKAT); and those who KEEP their pledges when they make a PLEDGE, and those WHO are PATIENT in the FACE of ADVERSITY and HARDSHIP and WHEN in DESPAIR.
THESE ARE the ONES WHO HAVE BEEN TRUTHFUL, and THESE ARE the RIGHTEOUS.
22:41. Those WHOM, if WE ALLOW THEM to have AUTHORITY in the LAND, THEY HOLD the ESTABLISH SALAT , and they CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS PURIFICATION, and THEY ENJOIN the RIGHT and FORBID the WRONG. And to ALLAH is the CONCLUSION of all MATTERS.
94:7. So, WHENEVER you are FREE from the IMMEDIATE TASK, THEN LABOR HARD.
Al-Ghayeb = The Unseen: The likeness of a seed that is beneath the soil hidden from a farmer’s view.
Yet the farmer believes that given proper environment and care the seed will sprout.
[9:119. O YOU WHO BELIEVE FEAR ALLAH and BE WITH THOSE WHO ARE TRUTHFUL.
57:20. KNOW that THIS WORLDLY LIFE is NO MORE THAN PLAY and DISTRACTION and ADORNMENTS, and BOASTING AMONG YOU, and to INCREASE in WEALTH and CHILDREN. It is LIKE PLANTS THAT are SUPPLIED by an ABUNDANT RAIN, which APPEAR PLEASING to the REJECTERS. But THEN THEY DRY-UP and TURN YELLOW, then BECOMES HAY. And HEREAFTER SEVERE PUNISHMENT and FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH PLEASURE. But THIS WORLDLY LIFE is NO MORE THAN a DECEIVING ENJOYMENT.
89:27. "O YOU SOUL! WHO is SATISFIED.
SALAAT = To follow closely, like a runner-up Musalli follows the winning horse Saabiq =Follow God’s commands closely.
AQIMUSSALLAT = Establish the System that facilitates the following of Divine Commands.
ZAKAAT = The Just Economic Order where everyone works according to one’s capacity and is compensated according to the needs.
People spend on others or give to the Central Authority Islamic government whatever is surplus 2:219.
2:219.They ASK YOU ABOUT ALCOHOL and GAMBLING. Say: "In THEM is GREAT SIN, and a BENEFIT for the PEOPLE; BUT THEIR SIN is GREATER THAN THEIR BENEFIT." And they ASK YOU HOW MUCH THEY are to GIVE, say: "THE SURPLUS." Thus MAKE CLEAR ALLAH to YOU the VERSES so THAT YOU MAY THINK.
And they do so whenever they earn any income 6:141.
The SYSTEM of ZAKAAT is MANAGED by the CENTRAL AUTHORITY that ENSURES the DEVELOPMENT of the INDIVIDUALS and the SOCIETY.
The 2.5 PERCENT ANNUAL MANDATORY CHARITY is a NON-QUR’ANIC concept that trivializes the comprehensive Qur’anic SYSTEM of ZAKAAT. Also, the PROBLEMS of FIQH MINOR but CONFUSING and CONTRADICTORY jurisprudential DETAILS ABOUT WHAT and WHO are EXEMPT and WHAT and WHO are NOT EXEMPT etc, MAKE the MAN-MADE ZAKAAT an ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY.
For example, a MAN with an OUNCE of GOLD SHOULD NOT PAY ZAKAAT, but a POOR MAN with 52.5 ounces of SILVER, the VALUE of which is less than 10% of the FORMER INSTANCE, MUST PAY! NO WONDER,
ALLAH WARNS us NOT MAKE HIS VERSES a LAUGHING STOCK. The CENTRAL AUTHORITY CAN VARY this PERCENTAGE ACCORDING to the CHANGING TIMES and NEEDS of the SOCIETY.
CHARITY or SADAQAH are MEANT ONLY for the INTERIM PERIOD whenever the DIVINELY PRESCRIBED SYSTEM of LIFE is NOT YET in PLACE.
For CENTRAL AUTHORITY, the QURAN ’an USES the TERMS ALLAH and RASOOL 3:32.]
2:4 And THOSE WHO BELIEVE in WHAT WAS SENT DOWN to YOU, and what was SENT DOWN BEFORE YOU, and REGARDING the HEREAFTER THEY are CERTAIN.
[2:185. The MONTH of RAMADHAN, in which the QUR'AN was REVEALED; as a GUIDE to the PEOPLE and CLARITIES from the GUIDANCE and the CRITERION.
6:73. And HE is the ONE Who HAS CREATED the HEAVENS and EARTH with a DEFINITE PURPOSE. Whenever HE SAYS “BE!” it is. HIS WORD is the TRUTH. And His will be the DOMINION on the DAY the TRUMPET is BLOWN. KNOWER of the INVISIBLE and the VISIBLE, for, HE is the WISE, the AWARE.
7:52. We HAVE GIVEN THEM a BOOK of KNOWLEDGE that EXPLAINS the GUIDANCE in FULL DETAIL. It is a MERCY for THOSE WHO ACCEPT IT.
7:157. "THOSE WHO FOLLOW the GENTILE MESSENGER PROPHET whom THEY FIND WRITTEN for THEM in the TORAH and the INJEEL; he ORDERS THEM to KINDNESS, and prohibits them from vice, and he MAKES LAWFUL for THEM the GOOD THINGS, and HE MAKES UNLAWFUL for them the EVIL THINGS, and HE REMOVES their BURDEN and the SHACKLES that are upon them. So THOSE WHO BELIEVE in HIM, and SUPPORT HIM, and help him persevere, and follow the light that was sent down with him; THESE are the SUCCESSFUL ONES."
10:4. To Him is YOUR RETURN, ALL OF YOU, for the PROMISE of ALLAH IS TRUE. He initiates the creation then He returns it; to RECOMPENSE with JUSTICE THOSE who HAVE BELIEVED and have DONE GOOD WORKS. As for THOSE who HAVE REJECTED, they WILL HAVE a BOILING DRINK, and a PAINFUL RETRIBUTION for WHAT THEY HAD REJECTED.
21:10. WE HAVE SENT DOWN to you a BOOK in WHICH is YOUR REMEMBRANCE. Do YOU NOT REASON?
21:24. Or have THEY TAKEN GOD BESIDES HIM? Say: "BRING YOUR PROOF. THIS IS a REMINDER of THOSE WITH ME and a REMINDER THOSE BEFORE ME." But, MOST OF THEM DO NOT KNOW the TRUTH, so THEY TURN AWAY FROM IT.
40:11. THEY WILL SAY, "OUR RABB, TWICE You HAVE MADE us DIE, just as TWICE YOU HAVE MADE us LIVE. But now WE CONFESS that we did TRAIL BEHIND in MAKING PROGRESS. Is there ANY WAY OUT of THIS.
45:4. And in YOUR CREATION, and what CREATURES He puts FORTH are SIGNS for PEOPLE WHO are CERTAIN.
67:2. The ONE WHO HAS CREATED DEATH and LIFE, that HE MAY TEST YOU, WHICH of YOU WILL DO BETTER WORKS? He is the All Mighty, the oft- Forgiving.]
