Holy Quran 6:114
------------------ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْتَغِى حَكَمًا وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مُفَصَّلًا ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُۥ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ [Say], "Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book explained in detail?" And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters. Holy Quran 6:115 ------------------ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا ۚ لَّا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. |
In a materialistic society, everything becomes a commodity with a dollar amount attached to it...Even the intangible things such as love, time, and behaviour. Thus the thoughts that shape modern societies attitudes is shaped around the monetary value gained by the actions of people and furthermore made acceptable to others. The dangers of such a reality is that it will carry on without limits to more lude acts rewarded by even more money, spiraling society into an abys of degradation. With this type of reward system attached to lude behavior and its acceptance, successive generations are inevitable to act out worst matters. As for those who remain with traces of value, shame and morals they will find themselves struggling internally against a status quo that will almost certainly cause different levels of psychological disorders resulting from the constant tug-of-war within themselves to remain un-corrupted. Like any other satiated desire, materialism rewards those who serve it with the material they seek. Thus this type of reward system, for those who have shut off the humanistic portion of themselves, find no error in the wrong they subscribe to. Like any other addiction, the goal is to satisfy the desire with the least amount of resistance. Therefore, when corruption becomes the catalyst that thrust one closer to fulfilling a desire with a reward, the behaviour or addiction becomes even more so harder to seize performing. It completely plays into the weaknesses of our humanity making the habitual behaviours the norm. Here in lies the destructive notion to our bad tendencies making the realization to these deceptions even more so important in understanding the wisdoms that promote their prohibitions. The biggest of deceptions and perhaps the most effective are those that depict happiness, blessing, and even on a state level through strength, wealth/power or false winning. These deceptions have decieved all those who can’t see behind the fallacies of such worship to self or other created deities in obedience to materialism. In addition, our (human bodies) have now become symbols of worship they themselves made of earthly materials, 70% of which is water; the body is now worshiped through the lense of sexuality and beauty...couple that with other materialistic gains, celebrity or popularity; the human being takes on a god or goddess type complex unto themselves and struts upon the Earth arrogantly & boastfully making themselves the recipients of shallow attentions
Holy Quran 6:112
------------------
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
Holy Quran 6:113
------------------
وَلِتَصْغَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَفْـِٔدَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَلِيَرْضَوْهُ وَلِيَقْتَرِفُوا۟ مَا هُم مُّقْتَرِفُونَ
And [it is] so the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter will incline toward it and that they will be satisfied with it and that they will commit that which they are committing.
Holy Quran 6:116
------------------
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.
Those people who ultimately come to this conclusion by that which they have been given in worldly life, or by way of exploiting themselves by way of physical attributes (also given to them by allah), demonstrate their naivety by demanding to see Allah or demand other tangible evidence of his existence. Its naive because they are in fact themselves hard proof to his existence and stand/live/surrounded by much bigger signs that all lead to understanding his existence. These people are just making loud mockery about the lack of their own misfortune in understanding their place, purpose, and orientational relationship with the creator. The senses and mental faculties of human beings have been created so that they can interact with the world around them, fulfill their task of building human life on earth, and observe/understand what the world & universe contain, which all point clearly back to the existence of a creator. As for the nature of God Himself, they have not been given the power to conceive of it, because a created mortal cannot comprehend what is ever present and immortal...He (Allah) has created man with the ability to follow either right guidance or error. He has left him to choose his way and has held him accountable for his choice. So, for man to distort his perception of the world and then propagate that ideal throughout the world to be followed, leaves a vast void that derives from the naïveté/arrogance and ignorance man himself is lacking. A complete and balanced world/universe already exist and is sustained by the creator for creation...so man only needs to understand himself, his place, purpose, and task for life to flourish on earth. Materialism is an ideal that builds its logic on the doctrine of the tangible world while that is the finite portion of all that has been created. Man/woman, and the tangible world is but a very insignificant fraction of life that carries over to the unseen world both beyond our limits as well as realm or plane of existence.
Holy Quran 7:185
------------------
أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا۟ فِى مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement hereafter will they believe?
Holy Quran 23:17
------------------
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلْخَلْقِ غَٰفِلِينَ
And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.
Holy Quran 30:8
------------------
أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِم ۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَآئِ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَٰفِرُونَ
Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.
Holy Quran 35:41
------------------
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا ۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا
Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth {natural laws of physics, quantum mechanics etc}, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them [in place] after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing and Forgiving.
Holy Quran 67:3
------------------
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٍ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ
[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?
Holy Quran 67:4
------------------
ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ
Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.
Holy Quran 67:5
------------------
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَٰهَا رُجُومًا لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ
And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils {the Satan’s of jinn who can fly in the lowest heaven who try to listen to the conversations of angels and who falsify the future to mediums to lead men astray} and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
Therefore (Believers), Advocates of Truth (scripture/Allah’s message/guidance), must not attach too much importance to, or pin his/her hopes on those who turn their backs on Allah call to guidance and don’t respond to all the other universally pointing signs of his existence. Rather, they should give top priority to and concentrate their hopes on those who listen/respond/act upon the call of truth. They thus mould their entire existence around the basic rule of faith, which is the cornerstone of their religion. This helps to formulate a total concept of existence/life & regularizes their moral compass, conduct and affairs of their communities on the same basis bringing it to one accord. What is extremely important is that “Truth” should exist/be known in its completeness, when it is, falsehood has no sway and thus disappears totally. This is precisely why the Truth is never presented entirely to the public and why so many already laid down lies have to be constantly repeated because truth can never remained buried forever. Thus, repetitive denial/confusion/or discrediting campaigns of falsehood unto the truth is a 24hr/365 days operation with a focused concentration on youth indoctrination or psychological distractions...hence the current crisis among that generation who doesn’t know or understanding anything.
It is human nature that when a person does something, whether good or bad, he thinks that he has done well and he defends his actions. If he follows guidance, he finds it good; and if he is in error, he still believes that his error is good. This Book [Quran] has been revealed to settle human disputes in all fairness. It outlines God’s authority to legislate and explains what the “Godhead” means practically. Moreover, this Book sets forth, in detail, the basic principles which serve as the foundation for the Islamic constitution regarding human life. It also includes detailed rulings for those questions which God wants to settle, regardless of the economic and scientific progress of any human community. Together, these give the revealed Book its status, removing any need to refer to anyone other than God for judgement on any matter of life. This is what God states in His Book. Let anyone, then, claim that during a particular stage of development, mankind does not find this Book sufficient for their purposes. But he should also say in conjunction with this claim that he does not believe in this religion, and that he rejects what the Lord of this universe states.
There is another factor which makes any attempt to seek a judgement other than God’s ruling, on any matter, exceedingly strange. Those who were given divine revelations in the past recognize that this Book, the Qur’ān, is revealed by God. They should know, since they were also given scriptures: “Those to whom We previously gave revelations know that it is the truth revealed by your Lord.” (Verse 114) This factor was present in Makkah and the Arabian Peninsula. Hence, God mentions it to the unbelievers, whether the people of earlier revelations acknowledge it or not. Indeed, some of them did acknowledge it and these were guided to the truth of Islam. Others denied it. However, the truth of this Book has been established by the fact that God tells us that the people who received earlier revelations know that the Qur’ān is revealed by God with the truth. Indeed, the truth is its subject matter and it is revealed by God simply to explain that truth.
The fact is that the people of earlier revelations continue to realize that the Qur’ān is revealed by God and that the strength of Islam comes from the fact that there is nothing in the Qur’ān but the truth. Knowing all this, they continue in their unabating war against this religion and its Book. This war is most determined when it comes to the attempt to usurp God’s authority to legislate by abandoning the law of the Qur’ān and replacing it with man-made laws. In this way, someone other than God is called upon for judgement. The end result is that God’s Book is not implemented and faith disappears. It is to this end that the people of earlier revelations, be they Crusaders or Zionists, support every system and government which aims to changing the character of the land of Islam, distinguished by changing its people’s submission to God alone and their their disqualifying implementation of the law outlined in His Book.
