THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD WITHOUT TOTAL SUBMISSION TO THE GUIDANCE OF ALLAH
In Islam, the Laws of Nature and the wider universe and all things associated with it is the only #Truth and #Reality there is. For example, #God as Creator, free of all dogmas and doctrines of #religion, and His #Guidance in the context of His Work in Nature and the wider universe is #Truth and #Reality. This also includes the Laws of Physics and Mathematics which the Creator has used to create His creations. Hence, God did not ordain any religion, which is divisive and against reason. Like Godless science, we are required to reduce it to #Truth and #Reality.
Therefore, in Islam, it is a very important injunction of the #Qur’an (6:38, 6:74-79, 30:30, 22:18, 45:2-11) to relate all human life to the Laws of Nature and the wider universe with the Guidance of God. For example, sun, moon, stars, mountains, trees, etc, do not “worship” God. They “serve” Him for the purpose He created them (Qur’an 13:2). Therefore, humans as “vicegerents” of God were created to “serve” God, not “worship” Him.
Likewise, in Islam, if the Word of God in the Qur’an in the context of His Work in Nature and the wider universe does not advocate “male/female circumcision”, then it is wrong to state that it is Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s) to do so. What I want you to see here is that God’s Guidance is not a random opinion of God or of the Prophet (s), but it is fixed to the “pattern” of His creations (Qur’an 30:30).
For example, in Nature, predators do not “stun” their prey pre-slaughter. Therefore, if Jews and Muslims do not “stun” their animals pre-slaughter, they are doing so not because of any tradition of their Prophets, but they are doing so because the Torah and Qur’an in relation to the Laws of Nature and the wider universe do not advocate it. From this point of View, I would not protest against the government of Iceland for banning “circumcision” but I would protest against the European Union for making it a Law to “stun” animals pre-slaughter.
In Islam, the Laws of Nature and the wider universe reflect the secular and scientific path of the creation and the “Deen of Allah” (3:83, 3:19). From this point of view, Islam is not a religion. For example, like there is no “worship” in Islam, the “salaat” is not a “prayer”. It is a “pledge” to God that we will function in every aspect of our lives according to the Qur’an we recite in the “standing” position of the “salaat” and that we submit to the “pledge” by “bowing and prostrating”. And likewise, an “Aalim” is not a “religious teacher”. He is a “reason and science teacher”, and so on.
Hence, in Islam”, all knowledge of science, religion, culture, politics, etc, which does not intersect the knowledge of the secular and religion is conjecture. For example, in 2021, a scientist in Harvard University explained why the planet Earth was a “water world” about 4-5 billion years ago with no mountain, dry land, vegetation, etc. Genesis 1:1-9 mentioned this thousands of years ago. And in the Qur’an (41:9), Allah states that “He created the dry land, mountains, vegetation, etc” and drinking water.
Similarly, another very important injunction of the Qur’an is the fact that “God created all the nations and tribes of this world (of different sights and sounds) from a single male and female” (Qur’an 49:13), with strict instructions not to “despise” them for being different. Likewise, the holy rites/ceremonies (Qur’an 22:34, 22:67) church/mosque 22:40, 72:18) Books/Prophets of all nations and tribes are their God-given Diversities in their pure form. They are no less than ours in their pure form because Allah gave all the Apostles of all nations and tribes (Qur’an 10:47, 16:36) exactly the “same” knowledge of the Divine System (Qur’an 42:13) in their own language (Qur’an 14:4).
Therefore, in Islam, there is no universal sight/sound holy rite/ceremony church/mosque Book/Prophet. They are all God-given Diversities in their pure form. Therefore, in Islam, it is wrong to claim that keeping a beard, wearing the kurtha, etc, is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s) or donning the hijab, niqab, etc, is an Islamic dress code for a Muslim woman. About ten years ago, one Aalim of an African nation complained against the Saudis who were funding his masjid and madressah with condition that he and his congregation change their culture, custom, tradition, etc, to the Wahabi, culture, custom, tradition, etc, which the Saudis were promoting. Yet, a French historian, Alphonso de LaMartine was fascinated by the fact that the Islamic world “consisted of 20 (now 56) terrestrial empires (of different sights and sounds) within one spiritual empire”. This was totally in keeping with the Diversity found in God’s Word and Work in Nature and the wider Universe.
Henceforth, in Islam, all the people of all the religions are required to embrace the Divine System in its pure form according to all their God-given Diversities in order to form one Standard way of life (AdDeeni Haneefan) for all humans, both secular and religion and one spiritual Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Mankind so that they can integrate, assimilate and marry people of all Faiths in their pure form and co-exist with their spouses and their families peacefully. This is the kind of Diversity God wants to see in the Divine System, both in this world and the Hereafter. If Muslims are unable to live and give this knowledge of the Qur’an to all nations of this world, Allah will not allow them to live in peace anymore.
For a more elaborate knowledge of Islam in this Diversity and the secular and scientific path that it follows, I would appeal to you to read some of my Blog Posts on my Website and see for yourself how much the ulama have deviated from the “straight path”. And if you think I am Truthful in what I am saying, please help me network this knowledge of the Qur’an among your friends, families and communities.
