Speaking frankly about important fragments.

A sombre reminder,
should there be the onset of forgetfulness.

Any success against the way of Allah is always relative, because Allah is the finality.
The successful crusade against Islam by the parties of OPERATION INFINITE JUSTICE, may not be completed until what has been done is returned to their owners. Not out of hatred or vengeance but because Allah has sanctioned Muslims to return it even if there is dislike to receive it back or distance themselves from it, there can be no more nor less then what was carried out in their name. Or it may be that Operation Infinite Justice and their likes, is no more than a trial for Muslims to separate some from others.
As witnesses, Muslim's are not allowed to forget but it may be that, they will forgive that which in repentance has been asked to be forgiven because, forgiveness in the sight of Allah is better then retribution.
Insha Allah, Muslims that have been captivated and made to anguish remember Allah, and know that their companions remember them in their Salat. To Muslims the Islam of Quran is the way of life that gives life and the source of antagonism by the unbeliever towards those who believe, it is a test from Allah.
To infiltrate and carry out errands to blame the infiltrated, is a something difficult to pardon without true redress, but before it is to late for the individual, Allah, without partners the creator of all there is, will forgive all wherever there is repentance.

Western democracy, a wonderful invention.
In a choice, 51 % of the voting non believers get what they desire and the remaining 49 % have the choice to follow the winners. Should they dislike it, they are reminded that the correct choice was open to them, but they chose not to be with the winners and that is the end of the matter. The Muslims must follow the democratic laws of the unbelievers.
Should the 51 % winning ratio be Muslim, the democratic choice would have to be considered null and void because such a choice can never be considered the end of the matter as non believers should not be confined by undemocratic Muslim law.
Western democracy is really a wonderful thing, for some parties.
Some references from Quran (Surah-Aya) to help the remembrance.

I seek Allah's protection from Satan the accursed.

Muslims.
2-143 Thus have We made of you a Community justly balanced that ye might be witnesses over the nations and the Apostle a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qiblah to which thou wast used only to test those who followed the Apostle from those who would turn on their heels. Indeed it was momentous except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people most surely full of kindness Most Merciful.
5-54 O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his faith, Allāh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allāh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allāh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allāh is AllSufficient for His creatures' needs, AllKnower.
6-159 Verily, those who divide their religion * and break up into sects, you have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is only with Allāh, Who then will tell them what they used to do.
Trial and tribulation.
18-7 That which is on earth We have made but as a glittering show for the earth in order that We may test them as to which of them are best in conduct.
21-35 Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial: to Us must ye return.
2-155 We shall surely test your steadfastness with fear and famine, with loss of property, life and produce. Give good news to those who endure with patience;
2-156 who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return."
2-157 Such are the people on whom there are blessings and Mercy from Allah; and they are the ones that are rightly guided.
2-214 Do you think that you will enter Paradise without any trials while you have known the examples of those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with suffering and adversity and were so violently shaken up that even the Apostle and the believers with him cried out: "When will Allah's help come?" Then they were comforted with the words, Be aware! Allah's help is ever close.

Turning back the clock.
5-59 Say: O people of the Scripture ! Do you criticise us for no other reason than that we believe in Allāh, and in (that) which has been sent down to us and in that which has been sent down before (us), and that most of you are rebellious ?
2-109 Quite a number of the people of the Book wish they could turn you back to infidelity after ye have believed from selfish envy after the truth hath become manifest unto them; but forgive and overlook till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah hath power over all things.

Hypocrites and friends .
4-89 They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected, and thus that you all become equal. So take not friends from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allāh. But if they turn back (to enmity), take of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither friends nor helpers from them.
4-90 The exception to this is for those who take refuge with your allies or come over to you because their hearts restrain them both from fighting against you and from fighting against their own people. If Allah had wanted, He would have given them power over you and they might easily have fought against you; therefore, if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.
4-91 You will find other hypocrites who wish to be safe from you as well as from their own people; but who would plunge into mischief whenever they get an opportunity. Therefore if they do not keep distance from you and neither offer you peace, nor cease their hostilities against you, you may seize them and kill them wherever you find them, against such people We give you absolute authority.

War during Ramadan and Charity .
2-194 The Sacred month, in which fighting is prohibited, is to be respected if the same is respected by the enemy: sacred things too are subject to retaliation. Therefore, if anyone transgresses a prohibition and attacks you, retaliate with the same force. Fear Allah, and bear in mind that Allah is with the righteous.
2-195 Give generously for the cause of Allah and do not cast yourselves into destruction by your own hands. Be charitable: Allah loves those who are charitable.
2-217 They ask you about war in the Sacred Month. Tell them: "fighting in this month is a great transgression; but to prevent from the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access and expel His worshippers from the Sacred Mosque is a more severe crime, since mischief is worse than killing in His sight. As for unbelievers: they will not cease fighting until they succeed in turning you back from your religion * (your restoration) if they can; and if any of you turns back from his religion and dies as an unbeliever, his deeds will become void in this life and in the hereafter. He will be the inmate of hellfire, to live in there forever.

Sickness of Soul, disease in heart .
2-9 They try to deceive Allah and the believers. However, they deceive none except themselves yet they do not realise it.
2-10 There is a disease of deception in their heart; and Allah lets their disease increase, and they shall have painful punishment for the lies they have told.
2-11 When it is said to them: "Do not make mischief on earth," they say: "We make peace."
2-12 Be aware! They are the ones who make mischief but they do not realise it.
25-70 except the one who repents, becomes a true believer, and starts doing good deeds, for then Allah will change his evil deeds into good, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Male and female .
38-27 We have not created the heaven and the earth and all that lies between them in vain. That is the fancy of the unbelievers. Such disbelievers should be aware of the hellfire.
75-35 Again woe to you, O man! Woe to you.
75-36 Does man think that he will be left to wander around without any purpose?
75-37 Was he not once a drop of emitted semen?
75-38 Then he became a leechlike mass, then Allah created him and fashioned him in due proportion,
75-39 and made him either of the two sexes, male and female.
3-14 Beautified for mankind is love of the joys from women and offspring, and stored up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded, and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode.

Only protecting friends .
5-55 Your real protecting friends are Allah, His Rasool (conveyer), and the fellow believers the ones who establish Salat (remembrance of Allah), pay Zakah (charity) and bow down humbly before Allah.
9-71 And the believers, men and women, are friends of another. They enjoined good and forbid evil and observe Salat and pay the Zakat and obey Allah and HIS Messenger. It is these on whom Allah will have mercy. Surely, Allah is Mighty and Wise.
5-56 As to those who turn to Allah His Apostle and the believers it is the fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph.
5-57 O ye who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport whether among those who received the Scripture before you or among those who reject faith; but fear ye Allah if ye have Faith.
9-72 Allah has promised to believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide, and delightful dwelling places in Gardens of Eternity. And the pleasure of Allah is the greatest of all. That is the supreme triumph.

Delusion and slander .
8-49 Lo! the hypocrites say and those in whose hearts is a disease: "these people, their religion has misled them." But if any trust in Allah behold! Allah is Exalted in might Wise.
33-58 And those who annoy believing men and believing women, for no fault of theirs, shall bear the guilt of slander and an evident sin.
24-23 Those who slander chaste women indiscreet but believing are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter: for them is a grievous Penalty

Modesty .
33-59 O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, daughters and the believing women that they should draw their outer garments over their persons. That is more proper, so that they may be recognised and not bothered. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
24-30 Enjoin the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that is more chaste for them. Surely Allah is well aware of their actions.
24-31 Likewise enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; not to display their beauty and ornaments except what normally appears thereof; let them draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their charms except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their own sons, their stepsons, their own brothers, their nephews on either brothers' or sisters' sides, their own womenfolk, their own slaves, male attendants who lack sexual desires or small children who have no carnal knowledge of women. Also enjoin them not to strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden trinkets. And O believers! Turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, about your past mistakes, so that you may attain salvation.

Hell's Angels .
74-30 Over it are Nineteen.
74-31 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers in order that the people of the Book may arrive at certainty and the Believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He please and guide whom He please; and none can know the forces of the Lord except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
66-6 O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are angels stern, severe, who disobey not the Commands they receive from Allāh, but do that which they are commanded.

Fool's gold and a desire .
2-80 And they say: "The fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days"; Say: "Have ye taken a promise from Allah for He never breaks His promise? Or is it that ye say of Allah what ye do not know?"
11-105 On the Day when it comes, no person shall speak except by His Leave. Some among them will be wretched and (others) blessed.
11-106 As for those who are wretched, they will be in the Fire, sighing in a high and low tone.
11-107 They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Verily, your Lord is the doer of what He wills.
11-108 And those who are blessed, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord will, a gift without an end.

Fighting in the good struggle .
4-74 Let those who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allāh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allāh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward.
4-76 Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allāh, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan. So fight you against the friends of Satan; Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitān (Satan).
4-77 Have you not seen those who were told to hold back their hands and perform Salāt, and give Zakāt, but when the fighting was ordained for them, behold! a section of them fear men as they fear Allāh or even more. They say: Our Lord! Why have you ordained for us fighting? Would that you had granted us respite for a short period? Say: Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is better for him who fears Allāh, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly even equal to the equal to the fibre of a date-stone.
4-79 Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allāh, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself. And We have sent you as a Messenger to mankind, and Allāh is Sufficient as a Witness.

Children.
17-2 We gave unto Moses the Scripture, and We appointed it a guidance for the Children of Israel, saying: Choose no guardian beside Me.
17-3 the seed of those whom We carried along with Noah. Lo! he was a grateful slave.
17-4 And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture: Ye verily will work corruption in the earth twice, and ye will become great tyrants.
17-5 So when the time for the first of the two came, We roused against you slaves of Ours of great might who ravaged (your) country, and it was a threat performed.
17-6 Then we gave you once again your turn against them, and We aided you with wealth and children and made you more in soldiery,
17-7 If ye do good, ye do good for your own souls, and if ye do evil, it is for them. So, when the time for the second came to ravage you, and to enter the Temple even as they entered it the first time, and to lay waste all that they conquered with an utter wasting.
17-8 It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, but if ye repeat We shall repeat, and We have appointed hell a dungeon for the disbelievers.
17-9 Lo! this Quran guides unto that which is straightest, and gives tidings unto the believers who do good works that theirs will be a great reward.

Parables and Similitudes .
39-27 We have put forth for men in this Qur'an every kind of Parable in order that they may receive admonition.
3-261 The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears and each ear hath a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases; and Allah cares for all and He knows all things.
29-41 The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of the Spider who builds a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the Spider's house if they but knew.
39-29 Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them have no knowledge.
24-35 Allah is the radiance of the skies and the earth. The similitude of His radiance is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth though no fire touched it. Light upon radiance, Allah guides unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaks to mankind in similitude, for Allah is knower of all things.

Muslims.
Salat is, celebrating the remembrance of Allah, it is a very good time for prayer (supplication to Allah).
Some non believers can be quite patronising and amicable with persons who say : We are Muslims, we live like you, our differences are little and trivial.
The non believers detest Muslims who say : We believe in Allah and don't associate any partner with him. By Allah's permission we are Muslims, we think different from many of you. We try to live with what Quran has revealed and dearly desire peace and Sharia life for our selves.
They are the Muslims to whom Quran confirms what is firmly established in the heart of every living thing, they are the Muslims referred to in Quran.

60-1 O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth, and have driven out the Messenger and yourselves because you believe in Allāh your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure. You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you does that, then indeed he has gone astray, from the Straight Path.
60-2 Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve.
60-8 Allāh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allāh loves those who deal with equity.
60-9 It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion , and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allāh forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the wrong-doers.
23-52 O ye Messengers, eat of the pure things and do good works. Verily, I am Well-Aware of what you do.
23-53 And know that this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord. So take ME as your Protector.
23-54 But the people have cut up their affair among themselves, forming themselves into parties (sects), each group rejoicing in what is with them.
23-55 So leave them in their confusion for a time.
23-56 Do they image that because WE bestow upon them wealth and children,
23-57 WE hasten to do them good ? Nay, but they understand not.

Quran
97-1 Surely We have revealed this (Qur'an) in the night of Qadr.
53-4 It is naught save a revelation revealed,
53-5 Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
53-10 And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
68-52 This (The Qur'an) is nothing but a Reminder to all the people of the world.

The covenant made .
9-1 Freedom from obligations (is declared) from Allāh and His Messenger to those of the disbelievers with whom you made a treaty.
9-2 Go ye then for four months backwards and forwards throughout the land but know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah, but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject him.
9-3 And an announcement from Allah and His apostle to the people on the day of the Great Pilgrimage that Allah and His apostle dissolve obligations with the pagans. If then ye repent it were best for you; but if ye turn away know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject faith.
9-6 If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum grant it to him so that he may hear the word of Allah and then escort him to where he can be secure: that is because they are men without knowledge.
9-7 How can there be a league before Allah and His apostle with the pagans except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred mosque? As long as these stand true to you stand ye true to them: For Allah doth love the righteous.
9-8 How seeing that if they get an advantage over you they respect not in you the ties either of kinship or of covenant? With their mouths they entice you but their hearts are averse from you; and most of them are rebellious and wicked.
9-9 The signs of Allah have they sold for a miserable price and have they hindered from His way: evil indeed are the deeds they have done.
9-10 In a believer they respect not the ties either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have transgressed all bounds.
9-11 But if they repent establish regular prayers and practice regular charity they are your brethren in faith: do We explain signs in detail for those who understand.
9-12 But if they violate their oaths after their covenant and taunt you for your faith fight ye the chiefs of unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained.
9-13 Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths plotted to expel the apostle and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do ye fear them? Nay it is Allah whom ye should more justly fear if ye believe!
9-16 Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main and take none for friends and protectors except Allah His apostle and the believers? But Allah is well acquainted with that ye do.
9-20 Those who believe and suffer exile and strive with might and main in Allah's cause with their goods and their persons have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: They are the people who will achieve.
9-21 Their Lord doth give them Glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself of His good pleasure and of gardens for them wherein are delights that endure.
9-22 They will dwell therein forever. Verily in Allah's presence is a reward the greatest.
9-23 O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above faith: if any of you do so they do wrong.

Mirrors and smoke .
4-119 Verily, I (Satan) will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allāh." And whoever takes Satan as a protector instead of Allāh, has surely suffered a manifest loss.
4-120 He makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Satan's promises are nothing but deceptions.
15-42 "Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you.
15-43 "And surely, Hell is the promised place for them all.
15-44 "It has seven gates, for each of those gates is a class assigned.
2-204 And of mankind there is he whose speech may please you, in this worldly life, and he calls Allāh to witness as to that which is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome of the opponents.
2-205 And when he turns away, his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle, and Allāh likes not mischief.
2-206 When it is said to him "Fear Allah" he is led by arrogance to (more) crime. Enough for him is Hell; an evil bed indeed!
2-207 And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees.

Good guys, Bad guys .
42-40 The recompense for an evil is an evil like thereof, but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allāh. Verily, He likes not the oppressors.
42-41 There is no blame on those who defend themselves after they have been wronged.
42-42 The blame is only on those who wrong men and transgress in the earth without justification. Such will have a grievous punishment.
42-43 And he who is patient and forgives - that, surely, is a matter of high resolve.

48-14 And Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
20-82 And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them.

Bismillah Speaking frankly

Written
Whence creation
religion, does it really matter
By the sword
In the image of god
Why am I
A little bit of evil
Something for free
When the journey's end is its beginning

Paradise ( heaven ) and Hell, is forever a long a time

Return to the beginning Religion [ * ] What it is and what is it not.

We know best.
religious accommodation by committee :
Some persons with a desire for expediency or with an intellectual understanding of mankind's irresistible need to believe in something greater then themselves, have concluded that the three main western religious beliefs ( Judaism, Christianity and Islam ) are from the same root and therefore one and the same with a slight variation. A variation that with some little intellectual accommodation will do way with the differences which are inherent between the three. They, being above any conflicting belief of others would determine what should remain and what should be modified or discarded after which all religious variances or difficulties would disappear. The previously wasted energies would then be mustered and become available and channelled into other pursuits regulated by the whims or interests of the persons in control who, for the good of unity could then not tolerate any real or imaginary deviation that would threaten their wisdom and control.
Such is the dream from those who are not aware.

religious dialogue as a new phenomena :
After a couple of millennium one does not discover religious dialogue. It has always been there, acknowledged by its rejection or by its use as a weapon of opportunity to learn about other's understandings as a means of isolating or to invent a lies against it, only as an honest mean for self defence of course.
Excluded from the above comment are a few persons with awareness and knowledge.

To have a dialogue means to have a talk about something to someone else for the purpose of giving or hearing information. The motives can be the innocent expectation of informing or the hidden stealth expectation, with the dialogue merely a disguise for other motives, directly or indirectly by other parties not directly involved in the dialogue.
From a dialogue of conquest one can gain physically by growing or psychologically by a self-expansion where a growth is a transfer of matter or energy from there to here or the other way around.
In a true dialogue there is self sufficiency and no gain but if there should be an individual gain it comes only from a self re-alignment without any energy transfer and without a condition of stealth. The self re-alignment causes the individual to feel new-born with grown up faculties and a clear focus of purpose.
Without visible intention, sadly even this can be induced in stealth mode where the new focus is a reality, a something without substance in actuality. The only actuality being the remembrance of the Creator, any thing else is only an individual reality.

Christianity and Islam
Today's Christianity came about when it separated from Judaism about 58 years after the reported death of Jesus, it used to be a part of something else until it was refined into what it is today. Today's Islam on the other hand is the same actuality as it was at the beginning even after many attempts to make alterations by the many groups who in delusion have been innovative while still claiming to be the Islam.

Dialogue.
As part of a Muslim dialogue some information is presented and no judgement or criticism will be passed on any one and no direct comparison will be made between any two beliefs. Without taking anything out of context, a few selected references from Quran will be used to highlight some question pointers as to what Islam is and what Muslims believe in. Even if some of the Quran references are comparative in themselves, the reader can make any direct comparison as he or she pleases without being subjected to stealth.
The ' this is what I am ' information as state, will show some differences in terminology and-or thinking processes, the reader needs to be aware that every language and culture have their own unique way of self expression.
Even if the sources of translated references by themselves may lack the Arabic original meaning, the expectation from this pages is to be able to convey information in such a way that, what is said will be understood for what it is without misunderstanding. It is self defeating to say something that will not be understood or will be heard as something which was not stated or implied.
The personal gain of such an exercise would be that an accurate communication has been carried out so that anyone can pursue or not pursue the thinking process and motivation as the Soul dictates, for whatever its own rewards will be.
It should be noted that because of the continuous evolution of the spoken language today's words like 'religion, faith..' and many others no longer truly reflect the meaning or implications they used to. When reading an authentic old text in many cases it becomes necessary to bring to light the original meaning and intention, anything else can only give an erroneous understanding or a wish full thinking.

Written in a Writing revealed

In the Arabic language. It is Quran.
It is a revered writing with, time locked narratives, allegorical references and future narratives that only those grounded in knowledge or in surrender can relate to.
Why must I understand all that is written the way I want it to be, is it really possible that if something is translated the way it is stated, I will not be able to understand it today but will have to exercise my mind before realising tomorrow that something else is made very plain and clear. And of what I understand, is it the only and absolute meaning of the words or are there other conclusions that can be drawn from it.

Written in a Writing revealed .

Quran References, Surah-Aya.
17-105. We sent down (the Qur'an ) in Truth and in Truth has it descended: and We sent thee but to give Glad Tidings and to warn.
17-106. a Qur'an which We have divided in order that thou might recite it to men at intervals: We have revealed it by stages
17-107. Say: Whether you believe in it or not, it is true that those who were endowed with knowledge before its revelation prostrate themselves when it is recited
17-108. and say, 'Glory be to our Sustainer! Our Sustainer's promise has been fulfilled.'
17-109. They fall down upon their faces, weeping as they listen, and this increases their reverence.
3-7. He is the One Who has revealed to you the Writing. Some of its verses are decisive, they are the foundation of the Writing, while others are allegorical. Those whose hearts are infected with disbelief follow the allegorical part to mislead others and to give it their own interpretation, seeking for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. Those who are well grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; it is all from our Sustainer." None will take heed except the people of understanding.
17-45. And when thou recitest the Qu'ran We place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier;
17-46. And We place upon their hearts veils lest they should understand it, and in their ears a deafness; and when thou makest mention of thy Sustainer alone in the Qur'an, they turn their backs in aversion.
16-98. And when thou recitest the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.
16-99. Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in their Sustainer.
16-100. His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him.

Creation created. .
Whence creation.
Was there a creation or is creation a trick perpetrated on mankind by an unknown something. If there is a creation, is creation the natural result of the chaos from the big bang with the governing universal laws just a something that happened by chance. Do the same laws apply equally everywhere. Has all the energy and matter in the universe always been there. Is it possible that something exists only if it can be known and measured with any talk of paradise or hell being just a fanciful dream of people without reasoning mind. Is man a chance creation in a universe out of control. Is there some one in control of the universe making or allowing bad things to happen to the weak and defenceless. Whichever way is up, if there is something or someone up there, who created it and should man be trustful or beware of creation or the up there.

Whence is a meaningful creation.

Quran References, Surah-Aya.
32-4. It is Allah Who has created the skies and the earth and all between them in six Days and is firmly established on the Throne (of authority): ye have none besides Him to protect or intercede: will ye not then receive admonition?
32-5. He rules affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will go up to Him on a Day the space whereof will be a thousand years of your reckoning.

10-3. Verily your Sustainer is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and is firmly established on the Throne (of authority) regulating and governing all things. No intercessor, except after His leave. This is Allah your Sustainer; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not celebrate His praises?

The glass is as it were a shining star kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth though no fire touched it. Light upon radiance, Allah guides unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaks to mankind in similitude, for Allah is knower of all things.
9-36. The number of months ordained by Allah is twelve in the Writing of Allah since the day He created the skies and the earth.

But you may fight against the unbelievers in all these months if they fight against you in all of them. Know that Allah is with the righteous.

Does it really matter
What religion, and does it really matter.
In searching for the meaning of some words, the word ( al-deen ) is almost always translated and used as 'religion'. In some other sources however the meaning of ( al-deen ) is instead used as ' the restoration ', a more precise meaning for Al-Deen one would think as to restore, is to make something as close as possible like it once used to be. Sadly, with most persons over the last thousand years the word 'religion' has been stripped of this connotation.
A restoration can be a blue-print for doing a something, it can also be a commitment to restore something to a previous state. A restoration is the continual striving to achieve the goal to a successful restoration. That something in this case is for the restoration of man but, by Allah's permission man follows different and diverging ways that, in the present as in the past have resulted in difficult relationships between people.
The commitment of the one in subservience to the Creator, is called a Muslim and he or she is said to hold a fundamental belief. They are the fundamentalist rarely referred to as being orthodox in their belief, they are the difficult to deal with people, who refuse to compromise their beliefs to please those who are not aware.
They are the Muslim who follow their restoration as stated in the Writing that is Quran, that is engraved in every Soul. A chosen way of life without final regrets. The restoration for Muslims is in Quran, their restoration is Quran, their restoration is to whence they came, the restoration is to their Creator.

The religion ( The RESTORATION ) but which restoration.

Quran References, Surah-Aya.
42-13. The same 'restoration' ( religion ) has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah , the which We have sent by revelation to thee. and that which We enjoined on Abraham Moses and Jesus: Namely that ye should remain steadfast and make no divisions therein. to those who worship other things than Allah hard is that to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases and guides to Himself those who turn.
3-84. Say : We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Sustainer. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have submitted.
3-85. And whoso seeks a restoration other than the Surrender it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.
16-51. Allah has commanded: "You shall not worship two gods: there exists only One Divinity, I am the One Whom you should fear."
16-52. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth and His Restoration is followed in the universe - would you then fear any one other than Allah?

4-125. Who is better in the restoration than he who is 'subservient to Allah' ( Muslim ) while doing good and following the tradition of Abraham, the upright? Allah chose Abraham for friend.
22-78. And strive in His cause as ye ought to 'strive' ( make jihaad ): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in the 'restoration' ( religion ); it is the faith of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you 'Muslims' ( subservient to Allah ), both before and in this (revelation); that the messenger may be a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular 'remembrance of Allah' (salah) give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!
6-159. As for those who divide their restoration and break up into sects thou hast no part in hem in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.
21-92. Verily this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood and I am your only Sustainer, therefore subserve Me Alone.

More than sweat and tears or fun and games
The common ground, the work area that for some is the battlefield and for others the playground for fun and games. In this world we live relatively close to each other and there could easily be harmony between us even in our disagreements. Without interfering in each other life every one could agree to disagree if it was not for the trials that we all must endure much like a sword to be tempered must go through the process or trial of heat and cold.
Knowing about it, can of surety make all the difference.

Believe or die you say but must I really comply with it.

Quran References, Surah-Aya.

Let us get together on what is common between us and you: that we shall subserve none but Allah; that we shall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not take from among ourselves any patrons beside Allah." If they reject your invitation then tell them: "Bear witness that we are 'subservient to Allah.' ( Muslims )."
17-110. O Prophet, say to them: "Whether you call Him Allah or call Him The Beneficent; it is all the same by whichever name you call Him because for Him are all the Finest names. Offer your remembrance of Allah neither in too loud a voice nor in too low a voice but seek a middle course
17-111. And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.
12-40. Those you serve besides Him are nothing but mere names which you and your forefathers have invented, for which Allah has revealed no sanction. The Command belongs to none but Allah, Who has commanded that you subserve none but Him. That is the true 'restoration' ( religion ), yet most of the people do not know.
2-155. We shall surely test your steadfastness with fear and famine, with loss of property, life and produce. Give good news to those who endure with patience;
2-156. who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return."

In the image of god
Is the good man and the evil man created in the image of god, the male god or the female god and apart from the angels is man honoured, as the only intelligent life form to rule above all others.
A query that can be raised by someone who must be able to relate to their god by a comparison, by relating to something that can be seen, that can be touched or visualised so that it registers in my mind.
Could god be in and out of creation and outside of time, space and geometric form.
If man is in the image of god and man dies, does god also die.

Why am I
Why am I here since when I die it will be like I never was. I am aware of myself, I feel and can cause pain and pleasure if I want to. I see new life and death and what is the sense of it all. Is life an aimless wondering from here to there without purpose.
A thought raised when in idleness, or at times of difficulties or despair but, in the fleeting moments of exhilaration there is no need to be concerned or to think about it, it is forgotten when it is so much fun to be alive.

Quran References, Surah-Aya.

Evil
Is there such a thing as evil. Who or what is evil.
Evil is usually something that register on the individual sensory perception. Evil some times does its own thing disguised as good. An evil action can give the doer of the action the descriptive petty name of being evil. With the " your evil is my good " modern day norm in life especially in the rarefied air of power where, the more absolute the power the more definitive the good is made out to be.
Human thinking seems to have a vulnerable common operating bridgehead. It is a big task but nevertheless, the one who continually monitors its operation and influences it, is the cause of much anguish and despair to humanity.
As the owner of great skills he is above control and functions almost undetected.
Iblis is his name, and from what is in Quran he seems to either have some knowledge of the future or can anticipate some things in the future. He is the Satan and as a non-angel with the angels he was and is one of immense ability.
With a given authority to do what he does, ' Iblis ' is the one who monitors the bridge head and with stealth suggests to people and others some things as being fair seeming to them when in actuality they are not. Searching for the meaning to Iblis one finds Iblis to mean ' Spurned ' and the actions of Iblis is the ' Satan ' which means ' depraved '. Satan, evil and ' devil ' are often interchanged with Iblis, but Satan and Evil are synonymous as a wilful action that is detrimental to the restoration of the individual. Iblis is from the Jinn race, he is an entity and
Satan is the action of the entity by Allah's permission.

Something for nothing
Anyone for a free lunch, free lunch anyone.
It is a noble thought, worth of merit and the more free lunches given the greater the merit and the more free lunches consumed, the less of a burden on the pocket of those who were entitled to pay for them. Regardless of wether one can or cannot pay there is no such thing as a free lunch as someone always pays.
It is simplistic but there cannot be an exchange of energy without energy exchange, something is changed into something else, locked into time and space and the individual action is nothing less than energy in motion doing work. Some actions will produce good results and others will not, even in the sense of relative good.
Every action has a name tag attached to include time and space reference, the kind of details that prevents two people claiming or denying the actions. Some actions are burdens of responsibility while others lead to burdens that one would desire them to be anywhere except where they are, especially at the time of testimony.
The bottom line is that no one can be immune from what has been done and
no one who is born can remove actions and consequences, wishing as one may wish.
Everything has a price tag.

Quran References, Surah-Aya.

Lay not on us the kind of burden that we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, Forgive us, Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, help us against the unbelievers."
16-25. Let them bear on the Day of Confirmation their own burdens in full and also of the burdens of those without knowledge whom they misled. Alas how grievous the burdens they will bear!

53-39. That man can have nothing but what he strives for;

17-56. Say: "Call on those besides Him whom ye fancy: they have neither the power to remove your troubles from you nor to change them.

That is a pretty heavy prayer you have made. I'll settle for " Allah, allow all Muslims to live as Muslims and die as Muslims. " Nothing personal but Iblis will deal with the rest, it is his task after all.

------------- On the street.:.
Many persons are known to claim of being followers of Jesus as they pursue the teachings of Paul. Many state the truth but know not what they have said as they are thinking of saying something else when truth overcomes them.
Many Muslims know not, so they stand behind this or that teacher in preference to the other.

------------- email.:.
If you get the opportunity, read up on the behaviour of Oliver Cromwell and cronies of England towards the Catholics of Irland in the year 1650 there about. Read up on the behaviour of the president of the United States and cronies towards the Muslims of Afghanistan towards the end of year 2001. You may find it interesting.

------------- Hypnostist on a big Stage.:.
He used to be the hypnotist but now he is called the operator. He gives suggestions which are actually commands to which, the persons on the stage respond by running away frightened chased by a dog that only they can see. The audience laugh, they think it is a very hilarious situation to see someone being chased by an invisible dog. No one remembers any dog or a threatening situation when the operator stops the chase and turns to the audience and asks them to bark like a dog.
A child in the audience tugs at his father's clothes and asks why he is barking like a dog with the other people. The father does not know, the other people don't know and the child does not know why they do it. Just a bit of fun or so one might think in ignorance but, could the operator have used the word communist or other words in place of dog and instead of being asked to bark, could the audience be asked to stop whoever or more at any cost.
A hypothetical and impossible situation that will never happen in real life, but could nevertheless be quite amusing should it happen. If it could, people could rally around their flag and do all kind of nasty things and feel good about it, until they become aware again that is, but by then it will be part of history.

No see, no talk, no hear. You will be wasting your time sending it, then again there is always hope.
To the President Sir/Madam, Prime Minister Sir/Madam, Chief of Chiefs Sir/Madam.
If what you have done is returned back to you, will you feel pleased about it or will you call the person who returns it, a sub-human despised terrorist that should be destroyed.

The deadly virus, by invitation or by stealth enters the body and proceeds to create the conditions suitable to sustain itself. When discovered, the antibodies go into action to rid the intruder from its new quarters. On being attacked the virus fights to survive and screams out, Help, Help, murder I am being killed, i am an innocent victim it cries out. So do aggressors cry of being the victims when attempts are made to rid them from where they have no right to be.
Everything has a right to exist and coexist but only in its own place and not wherever it desires to be.

------------- Smoke.:.
" Patriotism and the Flag, the last refuge for a scoundrel ". Read it in a book about forty years ago and has remained with me ever since. Could it be just a fairy tale or could the phrase be an actual truth.

------------- Believe it.:.
A little lie would have been rejected so it is the big one, the big spin. The majority will believe a monstrous lie because they could not comprehend anyone being so demented as to do such a thing. For those who may grasp the significance, maybe a necessary untruth to cover lack of integrity by king or country and those who will benefit from its implementation.
The big lie that would be rejected by men with a something else in their souls.

------------- Beat up.:.
Music is a cultural drug that a person develops a taste and affinity for. Music without this response is no more then an auditory sensory interference, an irritant.
Orchestrated Music is a do it yourself designer drug that acts directly on the Endocrine glands by way of the sensory perception. As such, music must be considered a drug that could be used as any other drug, when the need arises to alleviate particular conditions that affects the mind which in turn reflects in the behaviour and well being of an individual. It is questionable if a particular piece of music in a public place can meet the above requirements unless every one is naturally affected by the SAME circumstances.
Public conditioning unfortunately can be directly or indirectly orchestrated to induce the same particular need for the drug. War music and patriotic music is the most glaring example of this use. religious music could very well meet the same criteria. Less addictive then a chemical drug, Music is a catalyst that in varying degrees can produce on the mind and body the same effects as a chemical drug. A catalyst is reusable and is not altered or consumed in the process of doing work.
The repeated use of an agent simply for the pleasure of the side effects on the mind can be defined as drug abuse.

------------- Success.:.
Apart from the time when the first man and woman were duped, NEVER in the history of mankind has Saitan been so successful in separating mankind in their left-right grouping as in the month of December 2001 CE. It is unbelievable that his success rate could have been so high with so many people of all ages in such a short time. This augurs very badly for the future of man in general as similar or more spectacular instances are to be expected in time to come.
It is very saddening to see it take place.

------------- If there is, what is it and why.:.
There is no competition between good versus evil or god versus Satan but the question is and has been asked again and again and again. ''If god is love and god loves everybody, why does he allow evil on earth, it really makes no sense at all. ''
Selective amnesia or impaired sensory perception hides the fact that everyone desires and exercises free will in the actions. That means at times doing things or putting pressure on other persons just as they make us the recipients of their doings. Even taking into account the natural actions and events in relative interaction, there is no denying that evil as a causative entity does exist. It is a something that influences and generates interference in man's behaviour seemingly in a direct manner but always indirectly, always indirectly.

------------- Evil done.:.
Under the influence of Saitan interchangeably referred to as evil, one chooses to do evil actions because it appears to be desirable and not dangerous to self. If it seems dangerous, the degree of danger is distorted not to reflect the true state or the true implications of the end result. Often it is fun, a pleasure and an excitement or a personal gain or power over others, an opportunity that cannot be resisted, a chance in a lifetime maybe.

------------- Why evil.:.
If there was to be a necessity for evil, it would explain Saitan and why evil is done. It turns out that evil is a necessity and it would certainly be a shocking state of affairs if man was not warned of the end consequences of his actions.
Saitan and the evil actions associated with him are used to determine which persons will respond when subjected to the whispering, the stealth attack suggestions on an individual's thinking patterns. Some will not listen to them nor deviate, accommodate or allow themselves to make compromises on their thinking. Somehow they seem to recognise the attack for what it is, an external interference and accordingly develop a degree of immunity to it. Those persons that are susceptible to the stealth attack will not recognise it as such. The interference becomes part of their armory, their motive power, the reason for behaving in a particular manner. Considering that even the most brilliant minds are susceptible to the whisperings, no one is immune from the attack that must be looked upon like a deadly contagious disease whose purpose is to create circumstances and condition that allows indelible personal identification that separates one human being from another.
For every disease there is healing.
Seeing how short life is this is pretty scary stuff but, there is a fall back position, a second chance for some. If one remembers and in truth realises to have done wrong, repents and in truth desires to make amendments there is the option to try and try again which is indeed a mercy from our Creator. In the end however a point is reached where a failure is final, one will be with those of the left hand or with those of the right hand.

------------- The who.:.
Like everything created there is reason and a purpose. We know about Saitan because of what he does and how he does his task, a task that has very severe repercussions for his self made victims, of which no one is immune. Saitan was not created in the manner of man and he is the one that causes all the action in some persons. He is blamed and cursed rightly or wrongly for everything when he is carrying out his task for man's life after death. He is the enemy of man. Some believe him a friend but he is not a friend to anyone, he is the catalyst that separates man so that some of mankind may stand alone by their Creator, as an unadulterated man. To go to all the lengths that he does, for some the price of the fire must seem to be a worthy goal to achieve but knowing the outcome, the rejection of his whisperings gives a more rewarding, desirable and awesome outcome.

------------- the what.:.
Considering that there is a purpose for man's creation with clear cut left-right guidelines leading to specified conditions and outcomes, the what, is a harvest of free will gone astray facing the promised promise.
No matter the classification, energy is never consumed or destroyed, it is changed into something and that makes man a very powerful weakling.

------------- email.:.
Americans and friends High Command actions could be imitated but they would be considered to be inhumane and against the guidelines of the Geneva Convention on war, or something like that. Allah knows in which heart forgiveness resides.

When religion is
The religion

Some persons may describe it as being the normal growth of a living language that makes some terms obsolete.

Religion.
The concept of the word ' religion ' in the western language has now been altered to such an extent that the original meaning can no longer be identified to its time-tested definition. That being the case it is quite misleading to retain the same use of the word when the exact meaning no longer applies to it and unless specifically elaborated upon by the user, it only causes presumptions and confusion.
_ The meaning that was once identified with religion has now been transferred to 'restoration', a multi facet word that encompasses all the activities and goals pertaining to the old times definition of 'religion'.
Religion ' used to be ' the living of a particular way of life that was derived from above man and applicable to all men which when followed would lead man to the source from which the way of life was derived.
Religion ' is now ' the focus around which the daily life revolves, guided by a man made something, often for the disadvantage of other men. A modifiable and exploitable something, open to interpretation by someone's intelligence, cunning and pragmatic convenience in transient circumstances.
_ In this enlightened times, a person can have and live parallel and contradictory religions like the religion of sport, of politics or of a particular political systems, of finance and money, of culture, of racial superiority, of the superior religion presuming that it is 'the restoration' of old.
There are also other unmentioned all consuming activities that are quite transient and lead nowhere safe.

Restoration.
in Quran, ' Al-deen ' has a very specific meaning but is almost invariably translated into English as the religion instead of The Restoration

The restoration can be a blueprint for doing a something, it can also be a commitment to restore something to a previous state and it can also be the continual striving to restore oneself to a previous status. The restoration, is also the accomplishment.
_ The restoration is the determined striving of man to return, to be restored with the Creator as it was. The restoration is the chosen way of life that is without unpleasant surprises or final regrets leading to the ultimate goal.
In the restoration :
Throughout time, the restoration has been pursued by all people in their own different ways with the most recent recorded one in the tradition of Abraham in the three branches of descendants that is now Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
_ The tradition of subservience by Abraham is very simple, with very clear guidelines on how to pursue the restoration without alterations or modifications.
_ The one in subservience to the Creator has always been called ' Muslim ', and he or she is said to hold a fundamental belief in the commitment to subservience. This persons are the orthodox often referred to as being fundamentalist in their belief, they are the difficult to deal with people who refuse to compromise and destroy their struggle and commitment, just to please those who are not aware of or deny the restoration.
The most recent Muslims follow the restoration as stated in the writing that is Quran, the very same program and database that is engraved within every Soul.
_ The restoration for Muslims is in Quran, their restoration is Quran and the restoration is to whence they came.
The restoration to their Creator is continuous and not on a weekly, daily or part time basis.

The Religion used to carry the meaning of living the restoration with free will without being coerced into this, that or other restoration without fear of being violated for pursuing subservience to the Creator.
Secular life, is the way of life that rejects and even coerces people from the life style that leads to the restoration of man. Secularity is made by the ego of man for the particular time and can be replaced at any time. It is unstable and leads nowhere lasting.

Religion
Summing up
There is no separation between the religion and state because absolutely nothing belongs to CAESAR. ( the saying: give to god what belongs to god and to Caesar what belongs to Caesar )
By Allah's sanction man follows different and diverging ways that in the present as in the past have resulted in difficult relationships between people.

religious accommodation by committee :
In connection with the return to the Creator, a group of people without a fundamental belief in the restoration, relaying on personal inclinations and wishful thinking make defacto rulings to compromise or even to destroy the fundamental beliefs of other people.
religious dialogue :
People who make believe or who hold a fundamental belief in the restoration, communicate their beliefs with persons who do not share their personal restoration. People communicate their ideas and understandings without the zealousness or intention of a missionary.
religious :
With or without a blueprint, pursuing an idea with a real or with an imaginary belief that cultivates the mind and the actions towards a specific end that can be fixed or loosely defined.
_ It can be a real belief without necessarily being the restoration when it is an ego delusion or a perpetrated deception. A mirage is a restoration that leads nowhere safe.
_ A belief that continuously focuses on worldly activities and consumes most if not all the time in the day, is only a transient kind of restoration that leads nowhere safe.
religious variance :
The various beliefs in restoration, some of which may be competitive towards the others.
religious intolerance :
In a delusion of ego self-righteousness, using the means available one actively pursues the destruction and replacement of the variance on the basis that mine is the only true restoration. It leads nowhere safe.
Religious conversion :
Selfishly or not and whether realised or not, mind control techniques are used to alter the thinking process of another person so that the thinking will conform to the desired intention of the one exerting the mind control.
_ The ego of an individual has a logical or an induced affinity with a particular restoration.
_ An individual capable of seeing flaws in the various restorations and for nobody's gain but his/her own, chooses to displace the controlling ego and becomes subservient only to the Creator and no one else. It is the restoration that is without unpleasant surprises or final regrets that leads to the ultimate goal, the return home having successful completed the tasks that the individual consciousness was created for.
