The Letter of Amnesty to Christians -- From Prophet Muhammad (our salutes to him)


................................................
Although the following is only a historical record, it should be considered authentic since it agrees with most of the basic tenets of the Qur'an.   --   Dr. Shabbir Ahmed.
................................................

Its contents might come as a surprise to many, since in this precious manuscript Muslims are exhorted to protect the Christians living in their midst.
The Greek Orthodox monks living in the St. Catherine's monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai have in their possession many precious documents going back many centuries.

Their library is one of the finest in the world for ancient manuscripts. One of the most precious documents of all is the copy of a letter narrated by Prophet Mohamed (S) to the monks in the year 628.

The letter is as follows addressed to the Christians.

................................................

• This is a message from Mohamed ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.

• Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them.

• No compulsion is to be on them.

• Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.

• No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses.

• Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.

• No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.

• The Muslims are to fight for them. 
• If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.

• Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.

• No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).
................................................ 

I would like to add this quotation from my great spiritual teacher Dr. Shabbir Ahmed.
It should be quite clear from this that, far from being a threat, Islam is actually the guardian of the Christian presence in the Middle East. These words of Prophet Mohamed (S) should be made known to Muslims and non-Muslims throughout the world.

Thank you for being with us. God's peace and mercy be upon you.

An Experience with Public Violence in India -- A Diary Note

Everyone listen please, I have something to say, something very important to say. Today I encountered public violence for the first time. A drunk young man was beating a poor helpless weak boy an auto-rickshaw driver for a worthless piece of cigarette.

The drunk man first tried to mess with me while I was in the shop, but I was able to scare him off with expressions of superiority and polite objections. Then he went up to the driver boy and found a cigarette in his pocket and demanded it for himself. When he was denied, he started punching the poor fellow. The boy was thin and weak and could not defend himself. He started weeping like a kid and begged his audience for help. Even the sane friend of the drunk asshole preferred not to see and left the place. No one heard his cries. No one saw what pain he was suffering. No one preferred to hear or see. But I could not do the same. With every punch on his face, I felt the pain. Yes, I could feel his fear. I could feel his helplessness. I could feel his prayers. Tears rolled down my face with the sound of his cry for help.

I had decided then. I could bear this no more. One thing I have learnt very well from my childhood is not to keep silent when it is not to be kept silent. My heart was throbbing like mad, sending every last drop of my blood into my limbs, in order to fight against the injustice done in front of my eyes, my instinct pushing me into a fight to the defend the boy. But I was frightened too. I tried to resist myself because I tried to reason like everyone else, how can I protest when I am alone. Once I thought of calling the police. But there was not enough time. Then miraculously, at the very moment, an old song of my childhood I had almost forgotten resonated inside my head, Judi tor daak shune keu naai aashe, tobe ekla cholo re, meaning if no one listens to your call, then go alone with yourself. Immediately, I stopped being any more artificial, and dropped my bag into the ground, and gripped my fists tightly, and screamed, Enough! I had decided, I would rather get beaten instead by the mad beast than to stand there and see my brother being beaten.

That was just for one moment only. The drunk man released the boy in order to turn around and look towards me. I repeated, Enough! The boy took the chance, and escaped for his life. I was very pleased to see that the dog had lost his prey. Everyone dispersed. Even I returned home. Safe. I thanked God for his help.

This was a small incident. Yet I cannot forget it even now. I have many questions. Why were those men blind and deaf like cattle? Why do we resist the voice of our own conscience which is good? What has happened of our instinct to help? Why has man become so artificial? Why does man think only for himself when he knows that it is only through the collective that he lives? Why does man not protest against what is unjust? Why can man not hope the mercy and help from God the Lord of the Universe if he stands to protect His creations? Why is man so afraid of death when he knows that he has no control over life and death, and that if he stands for truth and justice, he would not die, but have eternal life in the hearts of men? Does not man know that it is only the body that dies, but not our soul, our thoughts, our ideals? What is the life of man compared to the gigantic expanse of time that the great old universe has lived? Why does then man think so much of himself?

My teacher told me once when I was a boy,
Protest against injustice. For, he who does not protest against injustice is doing injustice himself, and the unjust are the meanest of all creations. If you cannot protest by force, protest by your voice. If you have an excuse for that too, protest by hating the deed of injustice in your own heart. But do protest.

I want EVERYONE who has read to the end of this post to answer my questions. If you are human enough to breathe air and eat bread, then do comment and answer me what you're gonna do in such a situation. What is man if not a helper?

Salaat Vs. Namaaz -- Action Vs. Ritual

There was not one single man who introduced the Namaaz deception into Islam. Obviously, no one man could. Such conspiracies have to be state-sponsored in order to get hold of the masses. Think of the history of Christianity for a moment. The Pauline doctrine was not canonized until Emperor Constantine supported it at the Conference of Nicea in 325 CE.

WHAT ACTUALLY IS SALAAT:
2:43 And establish the Divine System, and set up the Just Economic Order in the society. And bow with others who bow to these Commands.
[9:119, 89:27-30 'Salaat' = To follow closely like a runners-up (Musalli) follows the winning horse (Saabiq). 'Aqimussallat' = Establish the System that facilitates the following of Divine Commands]

The Qur’an commands us to remember Allah lying, sitting and standing any time. This is also a form of Salaat. The Qur’an repeatedly describes the natural activities of various creatures as their Salaat and Tasbeeh.
24:41 Do you not realize that God, He is the One Whom all beings in the heavens and earth glorify, and the birds, with their wings outspread, as they fly in columns. All of them know their Salaat and Tasbeeh (mission and strife). God is Aware of what they do to fulfill His Plan.
[All creatures know their Salaat, their inborn Divinely programmed instincts. So, they can automatically strive (do their Tasbeeh) in the best way. But humans are not programmed with such inborn instincts. Given free will, they must do their Salaat by following the revealed guidance and thus strive (do Tasbeeh) in the best way]
62:1 All that is in the heavens and all that is on earth strive to manifest the glory of God, the King Supreme, the Impeccable, the Almighty, the Wise.
THE IMAMIST CONSPIRACY OF NAMAAZ:

Remind yourself of the famous weird tale of the Prophet (S) ascending to heavens to meet with Allah, the so-called Me'raaj (the word is non-existent in the Qur’an). Is not Allah Omnipresent? The "Imams" of Hadith want us to believe that Allah ordained 50 ritual prayers daily for Muslims on that occasion. As the exalted Prophet was descending, Prophet Moses told him of the impossibility of the situation and sent Muhammad (S) back again and again. Imagine the Prophet (S) bargaining with God! Repeated visits to and fro then bring the number down to 40, 30, 20, 10, and finally 5! Moses wanted him to make one more trip but Muhammad (S) felt shy to bargain any further. Was this Hadith, in addition to promoting ritualism, fabricated to prove Moses' farsightedness over Muhammad (S) and even God? So, neither Allah nor Rasool had any idea of human limitations. Had Moses not intervened, the Ummah would be praying a non-stop 24 hours day and night. Thank Moses for being the instructor of Allah and Rasool. Thank him for saving Islam from their blunder. What mockery! Only an extremely gullible mind would accept this nonsense. The later Persian Imams built upon this tale and formulated the current Namaaz. They received strong support from the Persian Zoroastrian mother of Khalifa Haroon Rasheed, Khaizran (d. 789 CE). Haroon's Zoroastrian viziers, the Baramika, were only too happy to join hands with the royal mother, Khaizran. So, it was she in concert with others who "canonized" Namaaz according to the desires of the Criminal Imams in (787 CE). Her main philosopher was Imam Al-Khalil bin Ahmad Shikoh, the first ever compiler of Arabic to Persian dictionary, Al-'Ain.

THE VERDICT:

It's completely upto you. You have your own eyes, ears and a heart to reason. My plain task was to bring you the Message.
2:99 For certain, We have revealed to you clear verses, and none will deny them but those who drift away from reason.

Some Basic Principles of Islam

I will highlight a few principles of the Quran in order to make you aware of what Islam is not, contrary to what most Muslims think. Here are they.
1. The Law of Requital (Qur’an 99:7-8) God’s Rule is the Rule of Law. As you sow, so shall you reap. Hence, reward and punishment are natural consequences of our own actions. Any contrary statement will be non-Qur’anic. God is not emotional like humans. Therefore, He does not reward and punish in excitement. There is no such thing as “qubooliat ki ghari” (a moment of acceptance of prayer).

2. The Qur’an repeatedly impresses upon us that the Laws of God never change (17:77, 33:38, 33:62, 35:43, 40:85, 48:23). Hence, people do not fly in the air or walk on water. Nothing ‘supernatural’ takes place in the universe, so, physical miracles are out of the question. The water flows downstream. The law of gravity is operative in Nature – Like poles repel each other, opposite poles attract each other – Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, non-metals are not – Heat expands objects, cold contracts and so on. If the Divine Laws in Nature kept changing, no science would be possible.

3. No person can be held responsible for, or share the burden of another (53:38). So, there is no such thing as Hajj Badal (doing pilgrimage on behalf of another person) or praying, fasting on behalf of a deceased person. On the same basis, there is no such thing as Original Sin and then Atonement. All children are born with a clean slate (17:70). The only criterion of honor is our conduct (49:13).

4. No amount of praying, utterances or wishful thinking can make us good human beings or good Muslims. It is the actions that count (53:39). Counting names and words on rosary beads won’t help.

5. The Qur’an is the last Message of God and Muhammad (S) is his final Messenger. The System has been perfected (5:3, 6:34, 15:9, 75:17) and therefore anyone claiming Revelation or knowledge of the future or of the Unseen after him in any form will either be an impostor or insane. Since the Qur’an is a complete, perfected Book, no “Imam” is authorized to make things Halaal or Haraam or make laws contrary to it.

6. There is no such thing as a separate group of “Awliya” (Friends of Allah). All good Muslims are His “Friends”. (3:68, 4:45, 7:196)

7. Iman (Faith) can be adopted only when it is based upon reason. Blind faith, born faith is not acceptable to God. (12:108)

8. The only life worth living is helping people and that is the only way to Paradise.

Islam: A Natural System of Social Equilibrium: The Way of Life

We will list here some aspects of Islam, a civilization based on sipiritualism and the higher degrees of human nature (often confused with religion), and its solutions to a few important social problems.

1. Despotism: At the time of the advent of Islam in 610 CE, kings and tyrants were ruling countries, nations and tribes. There was no idea of human liberty and rule of law, no concept of people having any say in the government. Islam's was the first voice against that universal exploitation of the masses.
No person has the right to command obedience of people even though he be a messenger of God (3:79).
Command belongs only to (the Law of) Allah (6:57).
Now look at the recent history. Isn't the world moving away from despotism, kingdoms and autocracies?

2. Democracy: It is often thought that Bacon, Rousseau, Locke and other European thinkers laid down the foundations of modern democracy. But the Qur’an decreed 14 centuries ago:
The affairs of the believers are a matter of counsel (42:38).
This Injunction was meticulously observed in the seventh century Islam. The Muslim rulers had to be elected and then obtain allegiance of the masses. They always worked with an advisory council. Today, mutual consultation in political matters is the hallmark of democracy. (Ironically kingdoms, sheikdoms, despotism and autocratic rule today are seen mostly among countries that call themselves Muslim. This is another instance of the Muslims' departure from the Qur’an). It may not be out of place to mention here that mutual counsel in today's democracies will soon take one more vital step; all legislation would take place in the Light of Divine Guidance. Whichever country takes that vital step will formulate a truly Islamic government and become a model state for the rest of the world. Other nations will follow suit. This is no utopia. Please see the conviction in Al-Qur’an 2:213, 9:32-33, 10:19.

3. Human worship: The exalted Messenger broke the idols of personalities. The greatest man who ever walked this earth kept repeating,
"I am but a human like you.” (18:110)
“O People! I am only Muhammad son of Abdullah.”
“I am the son of an ordinary Quraishi woman who used to (save and) eat dry meat.”
Further, Muhammad (S) said,
"One who loves people to keep standing before him, should seek his abode in hellfire."
We observe that since the exalted Messenger's advent human worship has been dwindling throughout the world. (Ironically again, today it is mostly Muslims who are prostrating before religious people, before their ancestors' graves or humbling themselves in front of those in power and authority).

4. Racism: 14 centuries ago the whole world was drenched in racism. Aristotle taught around 500 BC that the Greeks were superior to all nations. The Romans divided their own people among classes. There were about 8 slaves per Roman elite. India demonstrated racism to the extreme degree where a newborn's whole life depended on whether he was born into a Brahman, Khatri, Vaish, or Shudra family.

Muhammad (S) toppled the world of false ideas,
"There is no superiority of a black over a white or a white over a black. All of you humans belong to the same single stock. The best among you is the one who is best in conduct." (Farewell Address)
Now let us think. Is not the world moving away from racism? At least open expression of racial bias has become condemnable in most parts of the world.

5. Human Rights: Here I suggest that the reader examine three most celebrated documents on human rights:

- The British Magna Carta
- The American Constitution
- The United Nations Charter of Human Rights.

Then study only the brief "Farewell Sermon" of Messenger Muhammad, the exalted, and compare. The intelligently written human documents seem to fade away and pale in comparison to just one sermon of Muhammad (S)!

Haven't human rights become a vital issue at the international scene? True, the world including Muslims have to go a long way. But, Islam is on the march. The Qur’an had declared in the 7th century,
"Now, indeed, We have conferred dignity on all children of Adam (as their birth-right)." (17:70)
History stands witness to the blessings of the Qur’anic Way of Life. In the truly Qur’anic era of Islam, the (emancipated) black slave of Ethiopia, Bilal, the poor laborer of Rome, Suhaib, and the lonely wanderer of Persia, Salman, were equal to, and had the same rights as, the most powerful man of the time. Umar Farooq the Great (RA) the second Caliph of Islam used to address Bilal, "O My master!" He requested that Suhaib lead the Caliph's funeral. And the exalted Messenger had himself honored Salman by calling him a member of his own household.

A brief resume of human rights given in the Qur’an will now be given. These points also reflect the Moral Code of Islam.
a. Equal human dignity by birth (17:70, 95:4)
b. Gender equity (4:32, 33:35)
c. Superiority by character only (49:13, 46:19)
d. Rule of law, not of individuals (3:79)
e. Full compensation of work (53:39, 53:41, 39:70, 37:39)
f. Provision of basic needs (20:118-119)
g. Security of faith, life, mind, honor, and property (6:109, 6:152, 2:269, 17:36, 24:2, 22:40, 6:152, 5:90, 2:195, 5:32, 17:32, 17:35, 17:29, 83:1)
h. Choice of spouse (4:3, 4:19)
i. Freedom of religion (22:40, 6:109, 2:256)
j. Freedom of expression (2:42, 3:71)
k. Redress of grievances (4:148)
l. Privacy (33:53, 24:27)
m. Care of handicap (4:36, 70:24)
n. Presumption of innocence (49:6)
o. Sanctity of name and lineage (49:11, 33:4)
p. Right to residence (4:100, 2:85, 6:41)
q. Aesthetic choice (18:31, 76:13-15)
r. Protection of chastity (17:32, 24:2)
s. Race, color, gender, lineage, wealth are no criteria of superiority.
t. Degrees of people according to their deeds (2:212, 3:163, 6:132)
It is noteworthy that the United Nations and the UNESCO Commission subject human rights to certain conditions and limitations. They further differentiate between a person owning those rights and application of those rights according to the local law. Human rights outlined in the Qur’an are not subject to the whims of nations or individuals.

6. The Caste System: The exalted Messenger declared and established human brotherhood and equality by personal example. He belonged to the noblest of tribes and families. Yet, he humbly repeated "I am a human just like you." He further advised his closest family members that being a relative of Muhammad will be of no avail to them. Last, he established that the only criterion of superiority among men and women is their conduct. Color, creed, family, gender, wealth would not impart honor to any individual. Now which way is the world moving? India, which has been the chief cradle of the detestable caste system, is trying to get rid of this curse of humanity. The Untouchables are being called “Harijan”, ‘the bearers of Divine Spirit’. And India is just one example. Remember what happened to apartheid in South Africa?

7. Slavery: The exalted Messenger shook up the so-called masters of men, "Their mothers had born them free. How could you enslave them? What if you were made their slaves and they were made your masters!" The Qur’an, while explicitly pronouncing equality and brotherhood of all men, ordered to "Free all slaves for ransom or better as kindness" (47:4). Few people know that the Islamic methodology resulted in the emancipation of slaves (male and female) without the least friction and bloodshed. Islam initiated a noble revolution in the hearts of people. Without the Divine Light, the 19th century America, even under the great leadership of Abraham Lincoln, had to sacrifice one million dead and wounded attempting to abolish slavery!

8. Priesthood: At the Dawn of Islam, priesthood was the worst oppressor of humanity. They were considered to possess infinite occult powers. They were thought to know the Unseen and supposed to be intercessors between man and God. They enjoyed greater authority than the kings did. Well, they knew what was in a person's heart! They could condemn the "Children of God" to be hanged, crucified or burnt alive! Their tyranny outlasted their own lives. Their tombs remained centers of worship and exploitation.

The Qur’an announced that Allah is the only Knower of the Unseen (72:26). There is no medium between man and God because He is “closer to him than the Vena Cava" (50:16). Now we see that humanity has been gaining freedom from priesthood the world over. (Ironically once again, Muslims, not currently heeding the Qur’an, are lagging behind even in this arena.)

9. Womens' Rights: In the times when the woman was considered the property of the man and was treated worse than slaves; when "Eve" and "evil" were thought to be synonymous and woman was a "shameful load of sin", when she spent her life in bondage first to her father, then to her brothers and eventually to her husband; when Christian conferences were discussing questions such as

- Does the woman have a soul?
- Is she human?
- Will she be resurrected?

The Qur’an thundered that Allah has created people males and females.
"Women have rights unto you as you have rights unto them." (2:187)
"Every person will be rewarded according to one's actions; male or female." (4:32)
And the Messenger Muhammad, the exalted taught:
"Paradise lies at the feet of your mothers."
"O Men! You will be questioned about your treatment of women."
On the other hand, Michael Hart notes that the New Testament still teaches:
"Let the woman learn in silence . . . She is to keep silent . . . Adam was not deceived but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children (Timothy 2:11-15). "The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband . . . for if a woman will not veil herself then she should have her head shaved . . . woman [was created] for man" (Corinthians 11:3-10).
Now, look back with an open mind. Which way has the mankind moved in the last 1400 years? Surely, Islam is on the march! It may also be of interest to note here that in the USA women gained the right to vote in 1920. When did Muslim women attain it? In the 7th century!

10. Nationalism: Arnold Toynbee in his 1952 work, The World and the West, called nationalism a form idol worship. In his writing and lectures he repeatedly urged the world leadership to break this idol. After all, who is unaware of the devastation caused to our planet by the World Wars I and II. Nationalism was the obvious root cause of this massive trauma to humanity. Years before Toynbee, the Qur’an ordained all mankind to be one nation and declared that all believers in the Final Revelation, regardless of where and when they live, are tied in the sacred bond of brotherhood and sisterhood (49:10). That announcement left no room for manmade geographical boundaries. It is heartening to note that great western minds such as Nicholes Berdyeau, Henry Bergson, A.C. Ewing, Rene Guenon, Alfred Cobban, Frederick Hertz, H.G. Wells, and numerous others, not only support the unity of mankind but also predict it!

11. Pragmatism: At the dawn of Islam, Greeks were the torchbearers of knowledge in the world. Many scholars including Briffault and Higgins have correctly remarked that the Greek knowledge rested on theory and logic. Experimentation had no place in the Greek system of learning. Aristotle had written that women were deficient in intellect because they had only 28 teeth. He never even bothered to look! He also stated that an egg would float in the ocean! It was only Islam that taught mankind of the necessity of testing a theory or ideology by way of experimentation.
17:36 And you shall not follow blindly any information of which you have no direct knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception) you must verify it for yourself. In the Court of your Lord, you will be held accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning.


(For the sake of brevity, our list has been kept very incomplete.)

The World As Islam Sees It

It sounds strange that most people have no hesitation in accepting the fact that God revealed His messages to the exalted prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others, but suddenly fall into skepticism when it comes to Muhammad (S). We will let the reader see the superb quality of the Final Message of God to mankind.
The Quran is all about you humans and it will give you eminence. [21:10]
O’ Mankind! There has now come to you Enlightenment from your Sustainer, and a healing for everything that troubles your hearts, and Guidance, and Grace to all who embrace it. [10:57]
Nay, they deny it without grasping the profound knowledge therein. And they have yet to see the benevolent transformation it can bring about in the making of humanity…. [10:39]
Let us not be disappointed or distracted by the deplorable actions of the so-called Muslims today. We know that a tree is known by the fruit it bears. Unfortunately, the Muslims are getting their fruit from a bad tree. They have forsaken the Quran in favor of the Mullah’s writings and preaching. This Counterfeit, “Imamist”, Mullah-made, Tradition-based, Alien, Ritualistic, Fatalistic, Superstitious, 73 Virgin-oriented and non-Quranic “Islam” has wrought misery to humanity in general and humiliation to Muslims in particular, and it is destined to be routed. God willing, with efforts like ours, the world is about to witness and experience the benevolent, Quran-based Islam soon.
Revelation economizes human effort. Without it, humans toil in search of the right system. [84:6].
It is often said that great minds think alike. Quite a few brilliant minds in the West, at the height of their intellectual inquiry, seem to come close to the glorious concepts, principles, and ideals of Divine intelligence given in the Quran. For example:
“I think, therefore I am.” Rene Descartes (1590 to 1650, French philosopher).
Descartes’ ability to think proved to him and others that his existence was real. Most simply, this demolishes the false dogmas of "Wahdat al-Wujud" (Unity of being), Mysticism, Pantheism, and Sufism all of which deny the real existence of everything but God. Plato thought of the Universe as ‘a reflection of ideas', “The real existence is only of the World of Ideas. All that we see around us is an image of that World.” Great Hindu philosophers thought of the Universe as God’s dream, “Lord Brahma is dreaming in a deep slumber. The dream is this Universe and the day He wakes up, it would be the end of the show.” Some thought of God as “Nut Rajan”, the Great Player: “The Universe is a toy and Lord Rama is playing with it.” Said a little differently by philosopher Manu, “The Cosmos is Ramji’s ‘leela’ (doll) and Ramji is playing with her.” [Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Sir William Muir, the governor of UP during the 1860s] The Quran states that the entire Universe, including mankind, has a real existence. It has been created for a definite purpose, not in mere play. And it runs according to permanent, immutable laws. So, water flows down-stream, gravity pulls, fire is hot, ice is cold, things float on water or sink in accordance with their specific gravity, planets revolve in their assigned orbits, all living beings face death, night and day alternate, opposite poles attract, like poles repel, actions have reactions, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity while non-metals are not, magnet will pull iron and leave aside wood, elements will always have fixed densities and boiling and freezing points, heat expands, cold contracts, all things are made of atoms, and so on. When we discover any of such laws, we call it science. If the physical laws in Nature were to keep changing, no science would have been possible. God creates His laws in the World of Command as He wills. Then He implements these laws in the World of Creation (Universe or Nature). Although the all Powerful God can change these laws, He never does. Therefore, nothing ‘supra-natural’, ‘supra-rational’ or ‘supernatural’ happens in the Universe. What is called ‘chance’, something incredible, unexplainable, or a ‘miracle’ today, becomes easily comprehensible tomorrow as we advance in knowledge.
[“One who disbelieves in miracles, is an infidel; one who believes in them, is a fool.” - Talmud]
The Universe is an absolute reality …. It has been created for a definite purpose …. Not for mere play …. It has been designed such that everything in it must become what it is meant to be …. And that every action gets a just recompense …. Universal laws never change or deviate.
10:5 …. God has created the Universe as the absolute reality and for a definite purpose. …
35:43 No change you will ever find in the laws of God, and no deviation you will ever find in them ….. [6:34, 6:116, 10:64, 17:77, 18:27, 33:38, 33:62, 35:43, 40:85, 48:23]
7:54 …. Remember! To Him belongs the World of Creation, and to Him belongs the World of Command. Exalted is God, the Lord of the Worlds. [10:3, 11:7, 13:2, 25:59, 50:38, 57:4, See 41:10]
18:27 …. None can alter His Words …. [His laws in Theory (Kalimaatillah), and His laws in Practice as implemented in the Universe (Sunnatillah), never change. 6:34, 6:116, 10:64, 17:77, 18:27, 33:38, 33:62, 40:85, 48:23]
21:16 We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in mere play, without purpose. [11:7, 45:22, 53:31]
45:22 God has created the heavens and earth with a definite purpose, and every ‘self’ shall be compensated for what it has earned. And no injustice will be done to them.
Just as the Divine laws govern the Universe, they also govern our physical bodies. Why Not Let The Divine Laws Govern Our Conduct As Well? Guess What? That Is What Islam Is. This is another beauty of the Quran: It rationally negates all superstitions and false dogmas of the past, present and future. There is not a single intellectual inquiry that the brightest human mind could raise and its answer is not already given in the Book.
