Akhtar Sherazi

First of all we feel sorry for the delay in submitting our comments pertaining to the debate between the believers and non-believers. We have looked at this event from the Qur’anic viewpoint and it required considerable research. Anyways, first part of the document that concerns the debate and its participants is complete and is being forwarded to you, so that you may wind up the proceedings.

The translations of the verses are in bold font and are encased in single inverted commas. In addition the next paragraph starts after a double space.

The second part, mostly dealing with the definition of various terms of the Qur’an concerning the topic of the debate, is under review and shall be dispatched to you shortly.

I had an opportunity, for the very first time, to attend the Family of the Heart seminar on SEPTEMBER 04, 2005 Undoubtedly, it was well organized and was conducted in a well-disciplined manner. Mr. Pervaz Sallihdin and Mr. Rafiq Sultan deserve all the credit and appreciation for the excellent job, they did for its presentation.

There were four learned speakers; out of which two were representing the Believers and the other two were from the opposite camp of, Non-Believers. It was a fun social gathering of people, having diverse ideas and views on a myriad of subjects that concern the human life.

However, almost all participants seemed to be baffled and were devoid of clear thinking about the subject matter, they were enthusiastically debating about. The Muslim participants, especially, the Muslims debaters were completely off their rockers and had no concept, what the big rigmarole was on the loose. In simple language, they did not know, whether they were coming or going. They did not seem to click with the subject at any point, during the whole meaningless proceedings.

This does not mean that non-believers were doing any better. They were also on the same level of perception, as far as the subject matter was concerned. It can be said with complete fairness to both sides, that they channeled their total energies towards the building up of confusion, personified. It affected one and all to the extent that the panel of the believers was arguing in favor of the non-believers and vice versa. It is a matter of common knowledge that when a person is totally befuddled, it has nothing coherent or constructive to come forward with.

The Qur’an comes out with a wonderful diagnostic approach for such people, in the verse [2:10], which translates in to the following:

‘In a confused mental state [an affliction of the worst kind], the people lose their sense of direction, and capabilities to make the right decisions. They become captives of their twisted psyches, and turn into egotistic hypocrites and bigots. Such people possess the right stuff and the best potential for changing into compulsive liars. However, this situation causes them immense pain, sorrow, grief, and builds up pangs of jealousy, together with unnecessary anger in their hearts.’

The Qur’an further states, in the verse 2:9, that such mentally deranged and unbalanced persons try to deceive their fellow human beings in the name of peace and reforms by the application of Allah’s directives. However, if they rationally analyze the situation, they would find out that instead of misleading others, they are playing tricks on themselves. In simple terms, it means they are making a monkey or mockery of their own.

‘They try to bypass the natural code of Allah and do their utmost to deceive the people, who are determined to establish a peaceful society. However, if they sincerely reflect upon their actions and deeds, utilizing the senses they possess, it shall become clearly evident to them that they, in fact, are playing tricks on themselves, and no one else.’

The Qur’an discusses another deplorable characteristic of these people that they stop to utilize Allah given gift of human faculties to move in the right direction. This way they actually devastate their own capabilities that can lead them to the path of happiness and joy. [2:7]

‘As a result of their persistent adherence to the false beliefs, they lose the ability of appreciating the truth. Consequently, their faculties of observation and comprehension evaporate. At this juncture, Allah’s law of requital gets invoked, snatching away their ability to differentiate between the right and the wrong. They deprive themselves of the real fun and happiness that natural laws of Allah guarantee, and fall into the inferno of selfish desires and get stuck up in the labyrinth of uncertainty. What a pathetic end, indeed, is that of their own self-deceiving over cleverness and obvious blunders!’

Prior to critically appreciating the verbal communication of each erudite debater, it seems imperative, to delve into the etymology of the given topics, namely Believers and Non- Believers, from the perspective of the Qur’an.

The words Believers and Non- Believers or faith and non religious are alien terms as far as the Qur’an is concerned. The translations of the last revelation in English were first attempted or undertaken by the so-called Jewish and Christian ‘scholars.’ As they lacked the in-depth understanding of the Arabic language for taking up such a tremendous task, they explored into the corrupted books of their own, for some help. That is how the alien terms like believers, non-believers, faith and a host of others found their way in the English anthologies of the Qur’an. It is being declared without any hesitation, that after Ibne-Kaseer, the ignorant English translators spoiled the real meanings of the final message of Allah. They were responsible for introducing twisted terms and concepts, taken up from their fake religious documents, like the Torah and the Bible and transplanting them in their corrupted translations. Unfortunately, it has been going on for so many centuries, that it is now, sometimes, difficult to distinguish between the fact and the fiction.

Following is a brief list of the English translations of the Qur’an, complete with the names of the exponents, and the years of publication:

Part of a sentence frequently appearing in the Qur’an, ‘Yah Aiuhallazeena Amanoo’

identifies the companions of the last Messenger of Allah, including his close associates, who were providing out-right help and support to Mohammad and were working diligently with him, for the establishment of a peaceful society. The usual English expression [‘O believers!’] neither befits reference to the context, nor does it do justice to the innumerable people, who were working together for a common goal. A concrete example is that of the Muslim masses of India, who were striving hard along with their leader Mr. M. A. Jinnah for securing a safe haven for the Muslims of India. To identify all those people only as believers does not make any sense at all. They have to complement their belief, with hard work to achieve the common objective.

Similarly, the term Yah Aiuhallazeena Kafaroo

pinpoints the people, who were either trying to conceal or cover the clear-cut tenets of the last revelation, or were making all out efforts to oppose and stop the revolution of the Qur’an looming large, right in its tracks. To call them simply non-believers is an injustice to their despicable activities.

In accordance with the Christian faith, the term believer encompasses the following common connotations:

· The ones, who believe in Trinity [the union of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit].

· The followers of the Christ, who believe in the original sin that Adam committed.

Thus, the people believing or having faith in the above doctrines are the true believers, and the ones, who reject the above dogmas, utilizing their innate power of reasoning, are the non-believers or the excommunicated Christians. The debate regarding those two terms, without specific reference to the Christian principles noted above, is nothing but an exercise in futility, as the other religions or faiths do not recognize them. Because the Jews and the Muslims do not have corresponding views with the Christians, pertaining to the terms of believers and non-believers, therefore, the concept of inter-faith debate based upon them does not make any sense.

Contrary to the above Christian doctrines of believers, the Quran has incorporated the term ‘Yah Aiuhallazeena Amanoo’

, which, as has been explained above, does not recognize believers, who are in the habit of accepting any and every concept, dogma or creed, in the absence of a tangible proof. In fact, having faith or belief of any kind, without corresponding proof coming forward from the vast body of knowledge and accepted by the faculty of reasoning, is an insult of the human intellect.

Kant has defined ‘faith’ in a very subtle manner, with this simple statement, “I find it necessary to deny knowledge, in order to make room for faith.”

I believe both believers and non-believers were trying to hide the truth, in order to accommodate their personal beliefs or diametrically opposite convictions, or for that matter, simple and straight agnosticism.

With reference to the above explanation of the Eemaan, certain definitions require special introductions, to facilitate the comprehension of what Allah is trying to convey through His text. These are as under:

· In consonance with the wider perception of the Al-Deen [the Qur’anic constitution], the Eemaan distinguishes a conviction that is not ethereal in nature, but is a reality based upon the power of reasoning and proven by the cumulative knowledge. Whereas, in the matter of faith or belief, which is said to be often blind, one has to divorce those very criteria, to accept myths, creeds or customs and what not.

· The words Eemaan and Ameen have the same roots and both of these terms identify a rock solid conviction that perk up inner feelings of contentment, satisfaction and peace, in humans.

· Mo’min is a person, who accepts any concept, idea or even a suggestion, after thoroughly testing its validity by utilizing its innate ability of analytical thinking. In this manner, that individual not only ensures its own peace and tranquility, but also positively contributes towards the entire mankind.

· Al- Mo’min is one of many attributes of Allah, which pin points the presence of such a being, who is the Nourisher and peace Giver of the entire cosmos.

In fact, Mo’min is a person, who firmly trusts in the following concepts and acts accordingly:

a- Has unwavering Eemaan in Allah’s laws, and applies these in all walks of life, to achieve magnificent results, right here in this world.

b- Has Eemaan in the law of Mukafat [cause and effect] and the life in the hereafter.

c- Carries a persistent Eemaan in all kinds of cosmological forces, including, physical, chemical, biological, communicative etc. and works untiringly to make them useful and conducive for the humanity at large.

d- Has a firm Eemaan in the physical and mental potential of every human being, and tries hard to utilize all these forces for the establishment of a peaceful system, based upon the constitution of the Qur’an.

e- Recognizes or has Eemaan in all previous Messengers of Allah and the books revealed to them

f- Has unflinching Eemaan in the constitution of the Qur’an and certainly have the courage and the capacity to reject all human legislations.

The word Ameen has roots alf, meem and noon and its other derivatives are given below:

a- Aamanoo: It translates into peace of mind, physical safety and freedom from internal clash of diverse forces; its antonym is dishonesty.

b- Aamanna: This term means taking over responsibility of someone’s protection or safety and then guarding that person with one’s own life.

The above discussion puts the term Eemaan in a new perspective. The speakers defending the believers, were not doing anything constructive from the viewpoint of the Qur’an, but were building their dialogue on the Christian dogma.

The part of an expression, Yah Aiuhallazeena Kafaroo

requires in-depth understanding form the standpoint of the Qur,an. The term Kaafir has roots Kaf, Fa and Ra. It identifies a person, who intentionally makes an all out effort to hide tangible materials or intangible realities. In addition, efforts are made to substitute the truth with untruth.

Kufr, the verb, is also an antonym of Shukur, which, means to be very productive and capable of generating excellent results in any field of action; it may be farming, tending a herd of sheep, looking deep into space and discovering new worlds, searching the oceans, or producing all kinds of useful products for the well being of the entire human race. From here comes the expression kufraan-e-Na’amat, a derivative of Kufr, which means hiding ample bounties of nature from others or to maintain a monopoly over the goods and products required by all human beings. This is also called hoarding.

Additionally, kaafir is also defined as an act, which covers the ill effects of something gone awry. Right from here come the substance Kafoor [camphor], which is used to cover the bad odors at various places, especially the washrooms. The deodorants for personal use or homes fall in the same category.

It is, therefore, imperative to have a clear understanding of Eemaan and Kufr, usually understood as belief or disbelief. These terms are not restricted only to the mental calisthenics, but do have practical applications in the real life.

The most pertinent and lucid concept of Eemaan, therefore, is to willingly [without any coercion] accept the code of the Qur’an, as the best body of law in the entire universe and consistently strive to one’s ultimate ability, for its implementation with the purpose of benefiting the total life on this planet. Kufr is just the opposite of this definition of Eemaan, but it does not constitute any offence. It’s just a matter of understanding or perception. A befitting example is that of an organization; some people become its members, whereas others don’t, but the non-members are, definitely, not doing anything against the law.

The people who accept Islam become Muslims, and the others remain Non- Muslims; but every non-Muslim is not a Kaafir. In fact, Kaafir is a person, who receives the message of the Qur’an, understands it, but still rejects it [47:32]. They have the right to do so. Others may call it denial of truth. Its conceptual offshoots include hording of eatables or other goods that are essential for human consumption and Allah has produced them on a massive scale for every one to enjoy.

According to the Arabic lexicon following persons fall in the category Kafreen?

4- A river or an ocean is a kaafir as well, as it shields every thing sitting at its bed.

According to the viewpoint developed above, following the tenets of the Qur’an, the two knowledgeable speakers [believers] were representing the Christian doctrine, while the other two, non-believers, were touching upon various faiths like, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, or rejecting them all in the favor of atheism. The audience seemed to be viewing the whole debate, through their own specs of built-in logic, faith or thinking. Practically speaking, no one learned anything new and the clash of the ‘Titans’ did not even create a ripple of fresh understanding or wisdom. I am wondering, what is the purpose of arranging such ‘philosophical’ charades, at which one can’t even have a good laugh?

Mr. Tariq Fatah, the leader of the believers, is a politician by profession. Recently a score of surveys have appeared on the media, showing that a minimum number of people have faith in that category of people, because they are compulsive liars. In fact, democracy thrives on making false and impossible promises during the election campaign, and forgetting all about them, as soon as the ballot boxes are sealed.

However, he was playing politics at the podium, and at times seemed to be completely off his rocker. He was expressing wavering and dubious thoughts, which were further confusing the audience. When a question was asked from the floor, ‘what kind of a believer he is?’ His answer did not make any sense at all. It even lacked coherence.

Previously, he adopted a succession of faiths, and then got rid of them, because, those failed to deliver whatever, he expected. A short list of his major theological incursions or agnostic adventures is given below in a kind of chronological order:

· After the complete capitulation of the communist system in the USSR, he took a diametrically opposite turn towards Washington, the worldwide center of capitalism. He rejected his earlier conviction [Marxism; Leninism], and fell in love with, or adopted democratic values to become a politician.

· Currently, he is producing an Islamic TV show, entitled, ‘Islamic chronicle,’ funded by some mosque in Toronto. Now he, fanatically, believes in and practices the rituals, like Nimaz [an Iranian word] conducted by the Muslim clergy.

· Recently, he whole-heartedly supported a female Imam, Saleema Allauddin Majeed, who led midday Salah [prayer], on March 28, 2005. This woman, known to be a lesbian, belongs to a Muslim women organization of some kind. It means, currently, he finds a lesbian female Imam fit for leading a Nimaz [supplication], who knows, what he would do next or tomorrow.

Honestly speaking, he is like a chameleon, which changes body color to match it up with that of the background, in order to camouflage itself from its predators. A person without integrity believes in nothing, except the fulfillment of his own cherished designs.

About this type of over clever political upstarts, Allah says in the Quran that they only follow their own despicable desires and programs, while misleading others, because they are devoid of the real knowledge. [6:119]

‘Surely, many people lead others astray for the fulfillment of their trivial desires, or commit such acts just out of ignorance. Allah, definitely, knows, who would willfully violate His laws.’

Ms. Farzana Hassan was the second learned debater on the believer side. She claims herself to be a Muslim scholar. Her presentation was also was not making much of a sense and the translations of the Qur’anic verses being contradictory to the subject matter, were awfully ambiguous. Answering a question from the floor, she admitted that the establishment of a government, based upon the tenets of the Qur’an, is not possible in the modern times. If that is so, then what kind of Islam she is preaching to the Muslim, as well as non-Muslim audiences, and what purpose does it serve? Is she restricting herself to the spreading of rituals, like Nimaz, Darood-o-Salam or a host of others, which are nowhere, mentioned in the Qur’an? It shows one thing very clearly, she might be a scholar in her own right, but she is, definitely, a Qur’an illiterate. Hearken carefully, Ms. Farzana Hassan, what Allah declares pertaining to the formation of a government, based upon the constitution of His last revelation!

The verses 5:44, 45 and 47 of the Qur’an, given below, deliver the clear verdict of Allah, pertaining to such speakers:

‘Mark it down! The people who do not decide their affairs in line with Allah’s revelation or, who do not establish a government on the basis of the Qur’an, are confirmed Kafreen, Zalmeen and Fasqeen.’

Thus, by issuing a statement [on the subject of establishing a government according to the Qur’an] contradicting the clear tenet of the last book of Allah, she has fallen in the category of Kafreen, Zalmeen and Fasqeen.’

In the verse 5:49, Allah commands Mohammad that he should judge his nation consistent with, what Allah has revealed, and the people should also refrain from following their own desires, which would take them astray.’

‘Mohammad, We have revealed a book to you, which is based upon the truth and the facts of life. This constitution verifies, validates, and subsumes the real tenets of the previous revelations. You should, therefore, judge yourself against them, in reference to, what Allah has revealed to you, and do not fall prey to their contemptible desires, but follow the revelation that has come to you with the Truth.’

Claiming to be a Muslim scholar, how would she defend herself at the time of accountability with her current knowledge and understanding of the Qur’an? In addition, how would she deny or defy the clear commandments of the last book of Allah?

If for an instance, her alleged scholarly view point, that it is not possible to establish a government by implementing the Qur’anic constitution in the 21^st century, is accepted, then a question pops up, why Allah appointed so many Messengers all over the globe, equipped with His eternal constitution, in the form of so many books? Does she think, Allah was playing a joke or making self mockery over thousands of years, or is she in line with the Vedic mythology, which claims that the whole cosmos is just a mirage, and whatever is visible all around is nothing, but virtual reality?

Does she think that the Qur’an was revealed for the performance of some out of the Qur’an rituals and observance of certain customs, which are synonymous with the mere wastage of time, energy and valuable funds? The daily service in the form of five prayers [Nimaz], 2.5% annual Zakah, offering Darood-o-Salam, celebrating Meelaad-un-Nabbi, fear of grave, Doomsday and hellfire have got nothing to do with the real message of the book bestowed upon Mohammad. There are scores of others, including the modern Hajj and Umrah, which the book of Allah does not prescribe in any shape and form, but the Muslims all over the world are practicing them, enthusiastically. These useless acts are not doing any good to the Ummah, which is suffering in the hellhole of disgrace, despair and depravity for the last one millennium. It is all happening because of the ostensible ‘brainers’ like her, who say with full conviction that the constitution of the Qur’an is not applicable in this day and age. I would definitely like to know the reasons for that capitulation on her part. In my opinion she has given a sweeping statement without any rational thinking. If the human written charters are working, then Allah given constitution must render better results as compared to them all.

1. The human constitution does not suffer at the hands of the priesthood and alleged scholars like her, whereas they were instrumental in losing the original revelations of almost every Messenger of Allah. In case it remained safe from their hands, like the Qur’an, then they simply distorted its meanings.

2. No rituals, religious customs or personality adulations are associated with the man-made legislated documents, but that, as a rule, is not case with the divine scriptures. Every Messenger, after his death was turned into some kind of a demigod by his followers and besides him a score of others also made their debuts.

The message of the Qur’an became ineffective with the appearance of obnoxious literature in the form of Ahadith, Sunnah, Fiqah, Traditions and Islamic history, churned out by the Iranian publishing houses around 250 Higra. The Iranian schemers, who were the sworn enemies of Allah, Mohammad and the last revelation, hatched this conspiracy against the Qur’an.

However, for the information and edification of the alleged scholar of Islam, here a few basic laws of the Qur’an [a part of its constitution], under specific headings are being stated, which lay down the foundation of the Islamic state.

· Every human being is equally honorable in the sight of Allah, irrespective of color, creed, race, nationality and gender. [17:70]

· The noblest amongst you and closest to Allah is the one, who possesses the best conduct. [49:13]

· All of you are graded in accordance with the extent of your contributions for the coming generations. [46:19]

None has the authority to bypass or impede Allah’s clear-cut commands. They are to be followed without exception or reservation, to implement the intention and the contention of the language.

Islam out rightly condemns personality cult and hero worship. It is, therefore, completely against Allah’s ground rules for any Messenger like Mohammad or Jesus to come forward and ask the people to glorify them. [3:78]

‘In the Qur’anic state, the fundamental principle applicable is that any person, even the most high ranking Messenger, whom Allah has given His code of conduct together with wisdom, judgment and means to enforce it, has no right to command the people, “Bow down to me and obey me instead of Allah.” The conduct of such a person would be completely contrary to what the above lines carry. In fact that person should advise them, ‘submit yourselves completely to the charter that Allah has presented to you in the Book you study and teach others and establish a system for the sustenance of the whole humankind.’

· According to the Qur’an, justice is the responsibility of the state and must be immediately available to every individual, without any cost, especially to the plaintiff. [5:80]

· Testimony must be straightforward, based on what the person has witnessed. Withholding parts thereof or concealing the material evidence is an offence called ‘obstruction of justice.’ [2:283]

· Judge the people in accordance with Allah’s judicial system and you shall never be on the side of the criminals. [5:105]

· On the witness stand, forget about self-implication and come out with the truth, whether it hurts you, your parents or relatives, irrespective of their financial situation. [4:135]

· We have packed this planet with ample resources, which shall prove to be sufficient for you and all of your coming generation.’ [6:152]

· Whatever commodity inclusive of grain, livestock or currency you think is over and above your personal needs, hand it over to the government for the benefit of other people. [2:219]

· The Qur’an does not even touch upon the concept of 2.5% Zakat on the personal income or savings of an individual. This despicable insertion, during the Abbasid period, was a sheer contradiction of the basic fiscal tenet of the last revelation. The capitalist mentality of the rich Muslim rulers, traders and their cohorts at the time of Caliph Haroon-Rasheed, with the collusion of the Muslim clergy, came up with this ingenious idea to squirrel away their personal assets. Mohammad never paid any Zakat until the last day of his life on earth and this detestable intervention contradicts the real Sunnah of Mohammad.

· It is the responsibility of the administration, based on the system of divine social order, to provide people with all their common needs like housing, free education, free health care, jobs and other amenities of life. [22:41]

· Allah has made all natural reserves and forces subservient to humankind on this planet. It is, therefore, incumbent upon you to get hold of the abundant wealth hidden within the earth’s crust for the utilization of the entire human race. Make sure that it is not restricted to a few hands, families, nations or countries. Every person should be a beneficiary of the earth’s resources and must receive an adequate share and you must ensure that it happens in a justified manner. [45:13, 13:17 and 2:29]

The government based upon the Qur’anic constitution stands distinctly differentiated from all other systems of administrations in one particular aspect; it is not based on greed for personal or party power. The best people for the job at any level do not struggle on their own to get it at the expense of others, but are voluntarily brought forward by the masses, which are properly trained to render such crucial state services, through the teachings of the Qur’an. Unless that phase of the selective process is completed, Allah’s constitution can never be implemented.

However, it is neither the time nor place to put forward the working details of such a system, but it can be affirmed with full confidence and authenticity that such administrations did exist in the world, over millennia, even for relatively short durations. All apostles of Allah, including Mohammad, did establish these types of states, which worked very well during their lives and on their departure under the guidance of their close companions. Unfortunately, in every case, the innate human hunger for undivided power, with the connivance of the priesthood slowly changed the most humane system into despotic autocracy.

Democracy is like a Stone Age tribal system in which whoever had the most boys or men or more power would rule. At present America is considered the major custodian of democracy all over the world. Americans have different standards of democracy inside and outside of their country. For example, in the USA, no female has ever been elected to the office of president, throughout its democratic history. It may be the Bible’s influence, since the Bible mentions that the women are signs of sin. Similarly, in Islamic countries and in view of Jewish priesthood, women have no rights, because they are considered inferior to men. However, in this regard, some Islamic countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh are better than the American democracy, because these two countries did give women the chances to rule. This constitutes another type of discrimination based on religion. A democratic system, wherein there is bigotry based on sex or gender, is against the Message of Jesus. His Message is very clear about all above ailments that ‘humanity is equally honored in the sight of God.’ Moreover, according to the Qur’an, Jesus did not bring any religion, but he rather established a social welfare state on the basis of Allah’s commands in the form of Anjeel and not some human produced Bible. He rooted out the priesthood, which is the worst enemy of humanity and defeated the Roman Empire.

In a democratic system, the people elect their rulers for a specified term. The winners for the office of president or prime minister are those who get the maximum support of the people, determined through the ballot box. The nation gives its decision and speaks through the collective power of its votes. They are under no coercion for the selection of their leaders. They make up their own mind and cast their votes for the person, who they think is best for the job. It simply indicates that people have used their egalitarian privilege and have expressed their choice through the collective language of the ballot.

In the recent City Council election in Toronto, only 39% of the registered voters used their right to vote; the rest did not bother to go to the polls. This simply means that uninterested people did forego the right of their voting and accepted the decision of the minority. Still it is a majority’s decision. This state of affairs does not reflect the total failure of the system, but points to the need for improving the system. Like other things, for instance using a seat belt in a car, a law should be promulgated to impose some kind of a fine on the people who do not use their democratic right. Sweden had already such a law in place. The masses still adore democracy, but are too lethargic to use the given right.

In the Qur’anic state, leaders are not elected, but are selected on the following principles:

· The person must be fully conversant with the language and the content of the Qur’an, without belonging to any sect. [Is it possible to find such a person today, when almost 100% of the people become sectarian from the embryonic state and are born in a particular sect?] Besides that, the person can be from any occupation [2:248], but must possess adequate knowledge and experience to perform the duties assigned to the head of the state smoothly. In addition, an aspirant for that job must bring along some kind of legislative experience or have held an important position on a state/provincial level.

· The person must be married, have a strong moral character and excellent reputation among the general public. Besides, such an individual must enjoy excellent health, exhibit pleasant behavior and have personal experience of military discipline and working in the armed forces. [2:248]

· The person’s past must be free of all kinds of transgressions and must follow the role model of Mohammad, presented to the entire humankind by the Qur’an. [10:16]

· ‘When Mohammad declared to his opponents that he wanted to establish the divine social order on the face of the planet, based on the Qur’anic constitution, they had an argument with him, asking, “Where is the evidence to prove that whatever you are saying is the truth and you are really the Messenger of Allah?” Mohammad did not respond in any illogical way, saying, “I can perform some miracles to support my claim that I am His apostle.” Instead, he came out with a very ingenious and plausible reasoning: “I have lived among you for the last 40 years and my whole life is before you like an open book, until this day of my appointment as Allah’s Messenger. You have known me fully well, as a child, as a teenager and as an adult. You called me Ameen and Siddiq [trustworthy, guardian of the people’s basic rights and truthful]. If all of the above is true, then it is also right that I have been elevated to the position of Allah’s Messenger. It is now my responsibility to establish an administration based on the Qur’anic concept of statehood. In the light of my explanation, why don’t you use your heads, your mental capabilities and your sense of reasoning to understand my viewpoint.’

· e-Allah has handed over to you a tailor-made constitution; all you have to do is select your leaders through mutual consultation, for its implementation. [3:158, 42:38 and 2:233]

Allah also commanded Mohammad that before taking any firm and final decision in any matter, he must consult his companions, who were struggling strenuously along with him for the establishment of the divine social order

If, Ms. Farzana Hassan still thinks that the Qur’an does not offer a constitution for the establishment of a government, then this book is useless for her, and she should stop wasting her time preaching it. In addition, she should quit proclaiming herself to be a Muslim scholar, because she is not. She is doing nothing, except hoodwinking innocent people in the name of believer, who are already lost.

However, this kind of sweeping statement indicates rebellious attitude against the constitution the Qur’an. [5:62]

‘Mohammad, you shall find most of them stepping up towards transgression and defiance, under the influence of their strong egotistic nature. How heinous would that be, whatever they would accomplish!’

The Qur’an further declares that this category of Muslims is totally befuddled and confounded. They would, of course, suffer terrible consequences of the burning hell they have created for themselves in this world and in the hereafter. [9:63]

‘The people, who oppose the divine social order, just for the satisfaction of their ego and pride, aren’t they aware of the fact, that because of their supercilious attitude and ignorant behavior, they shall be experiencing total agony [defined as hell] right here in this world? They would continue to stay in a state of disgrace and humiliation here, as well as in the hereafter.’

In view of Ms. Farzana Hassan’s theological bent of mind, my suggestion to her would be that either she should become a mystic, like Raabia Bassri; stay secluded from the rest of the world, chanting Allah, Allah; follow the ritual of supplication [Nimaz]; collect donations, and adopt countless other non-Qur’anic customs or she should honestly self analyze herself, understand the nourishing laws of the Qur’an, and protect herself from the common ailments that the rest of the Ummah is suffering from.

Dr. Khalid Sohail was the main anchor of the non-believers. In his address, he said that he opened his eyes in an orthodox Muslim family, inherited some Islamic rituals and learnt quite a few ‘sacred’ names right from the cradle.

He also mentioned that when he came off age, he started thinking about the religious inheritance; he received from his elders and the clergy.

Dr. Khalid, you rightly used your God given gift, the intellect, for rejecting the typical theocracy in practice at that time, and set out in search of the truth. The Qur’an repeatedly addresses all humans to use their innate potentialities for doing the same, and rejects the rituals and the promotion of personality cult in the strongest possible terms. [12:40]

‘Through his invigorating, and revitalizing speech, Joseph counseled his fellow prisoner, “You are wasting your God given capabilities in following and worshipping some kind of consecrated names, which is, in fact, the self-creation of you and your ancestors. However, Allah has not given you any directive in this regard. Mind it! The right to exercise authority only belongs to Allah. Al- Deen or Allah’s code was the precise system for you to follow, but most of the people simply ignored the truth.’

With due respect to your parents, it appears that they presented an awfully erroneous image of the Islamic society established by the last Messenger of Allah. They did so because of their ignorance about the last Messenger of Allah, his lifetime work, and the legacy, he left in the form of the Qur’an. But the fact remains, ‘Ignorance of the law is no excuse.’ Actually, they did not, personally, endeavor to find the real Islamic way of life, and pass it on to their descendants. Whatever, they tried to instill in your mind was a combination of Islamic myth; folklore and fabrication that they learnt form their own elders. They must have been ignorant of the fact that the last Messenger of Allah fought only defensive battles and his ultimate wish was to establish a peaceful society for the entire humankind, corresponding to the constitution of the last revelation, bestowed upon him. In my opinion, your discourse was based upon typical hearsay.

Have you ever tried to separate the real message of the Qur’an, from the interwoven myths and legends, in the form of Ahadith, Sunnah, Traditions and Fiqah? The sectarian Islam presented by the professional Muslim preachers [of all sects] has got nothing to do with Allah’s Al-Deen that the Qur’an offers. That is why, currently, it is the least understood book in the entire world.

You did a right thing by quitting the ritual of five daily prayers, as it is totally against the tenets of the Qur’an. The so-called Western Orientalists are a bunch of misguided nincompoops, who base their criticism of Islam and the last Messenger of Allah, upon Ahadith, Sunnah, Fiqah, Traditions, and books like Bahishti Zaiwer. Men, who had a score to settle with Mohammad, created all that junk, almost three centuries after his death. In the presence of the Qur’an, in its original text, syntax and chronology of Surahs, who needs the Iranian crap, which had been instrumental in creating divisions within the Ummah, in the form of innumerable sects, prevalent to this day and age?

As for the expositions of the last revelation, it can be pronounced, without any doubt that the first interpretation of the Qur’an, authored by Ibne Katheer, a diehard Iranian conspirator, who was deadly against Mohammad, the Arab, is immensely flawed.

During the time of the last Messenger, women had equal rights with men, which were later on usurped by the Muslim caliphs, with the collusion of the priesthood. The Ummah is passing through a phase of ignorance, which is worst than the one that existed in the pre-Islamic era. The real Al-Deen had been high jacked by Mullah Mafia, supported by the rulers, over a millennium.

The reason why you are so confused is that you did not try to comprehend the only Book [Qur’an] that matters. The rest is nothing, but a pile of junk. Your journey out of an orthodox Muslim environment [Muslim by birth] has led you to the mysterious world of atheistic spiritualism. What a tragic intellectual quagmire, a person of your knowledge and understanding has created for himself!

This kind of psychological capitulation, in my opinion, is the limit of mental degradation that can happen to a brilliant mind like you. The Qur’an describes this situation, with an example of someone, who was free falling from the sky, but was grabbed by a bird of prey. [22:31]

‘The right and the straight path of life is to strictly follow Allah’s code [like migratory birds] and the outright rejection of the human legislation. This attitude indicates an individual’s noble character and generous nature. If, on the contrary, a person abandons the natural body of laws revealed by Allah and accepts the sovereignty of man-made rules, then he would lose the characteristics like nobility, dignity and decency. Such a person would be like a baby bird falling out of its nest, which is either grabbed by a bird of prey, before it hits the ground, or a strong wind ruffles it up, and throw it away in a dark corner.’

My dear friend, Dr. Khalid Sohail is, now, like a battered DARWAISH, who by adopting the philosophy of a mystic cum atheist, has landed somewhere in the murky recess of Buddha’s philosophy of escapism.

T.W. Doane in his book, entitled “Bible Myths” [P.287-297], has presented a good characteristic comparison between Buddha [the non-believer] and Jesus [the believer]. An unedited excerpt from that source is presented below, for the your interest:

Dr. Khalid Shail cannot blame his fore fathers now, as he has accepted Buddha’s philosophy, in the mature part of his life, to be his guideline, with a touch of atheism.

The readers may drive their own independent conclusions about the similarities between the lives of both Buddha and Jesus, right from the cradle to the grave. They should also think about the so-called miracles the two of them performed during their life times. Does it all not boil down to the exaggeration of the worst kind on both sides? In fact, Buddha and Jesus did not make any such claims, while they were alive; it was the charisma of the over zealous disciples of both sides to bloat them up, and make them look gargantuan after death.

There is another interesting corollary in line with the above miraculous caricatures of the two individuals. The Muslim clergy hatched their own kind of transcendental eulogy for their Prophet Mohammad. They packed him up and sent him to the seventh Heaven, on a return flight, just to show the Christians, that their apostle went up there after his death, while theirs’ made the trip alive; traveled billions of light years without even a space suit, and then returned safely to his home planet, only during single night.

However, humans can only achieve honor and dignity in the sight of Allah, and can have secure, productive and prosperous living, if they adhere to the code presented by the Qur’an. But, they always remain busy with doing their own things, without giving a thought to, what is good for them or not.

‘Indeed, We have evolved this social species of Home Sapiens in billions of years, endowed with the best possible individual shape and form, that serves every one perfectly for this transitory period. * Besides the special senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, this special life form possesses the faculties of learning, speaking, thinking, and decision-making. We have also endowed this unique creation with extraordinary physical and mental capabilities, in order to produce excellent results in every sphere of action, for the improvement of entire humanity.’

*In the continuing evolutionary process, each person shall have a life after death for the accountability process, to be completed. However, self-assessing system is the guiding principle to be followed, in this world by all humans. Whether the life here had been stable or not for the next developmental phase, the death just remains to be a test of the self.]

· They possess the potential of expressing themselves through the use of languages, emotions and expressions. [55:4]

· They have the ability to acquire knowledge about the past or whatever subject they did not know before. [96:5]

The Qur’an firmly asserts that by utilizing, the above mentioned, Allah awarded capabilities, under the umbrella of the Qur’an’s rule of law, humans can achieve the height of nobility, excellence and dignity. But damned be this human race, which finds ways and means to deviate from the divine constitution and misuse the gifts of their Nourisher like, freedom of choice and many other innate capabilities. Resultantly, they fall down from the excellent status of humanity and reduce themselves to the state of lower animals.

In the verses 18-25 of Surah Al-Muddassir, the Qur’an brilliantly portrays the tussle between the right and the wrong sides of the human intellect. [74:18]

‘Mohammad, you invited a rebellious person and asked him to judge the wonderful laws of the Qur’an, with the particular objective of improving upon his own self. He gave serious thought to the given assignment, weighed pros and cons, but finally rejected the right path.’ [74:19]

‘He seriously thought about your invitation, before giving it a try. And when he got on with it, there ensued an intense battle within his mind between his personal interests and the excellent moral, ethical, and social values professed by the Qur’an. In the end, his selfishness got the upper hand and he easily rejected the code that could raise him to the acme of human nobility, decency and magnificence.’

Allah feels sorry for this kind of an egotistical person and further comments, “How his selfish behavior and poor judgment has ignored the precious and peace ensuring eternal values.” [74:20]

‘Cursed be that person, who rejected these laws, without realizing their real value and worth from the human standpoint? In fact, he damaged the good side of his own personality.’

After committing this unjustified act, he looked around to determine its effect on the people sitting around. [74:20]

‘Subsequent to the callous obliteration of his personal noble qualities and inherent capabilities, along with Allah’s laws, he looked around in search of more positive indications to further validate the destruction of his own persona, and denunciation of the natural laws of Allah.’

When he realized, that he had immensely degraded himself by promoting a weak and absurd point of view, he quietly scolded himself and felt miserable about his prejudiced behavior. [74:22]

‘His sick and prejudiced nature had pushed him for taking such a ridiculous decision. His heart was palpitating with the realization of his mistake and he was getting emotionally perturbed upon taking such an unjust stance. Though he was trying to conceal his emotions, but his mental agony was written all over his face.’

Then, he looked back with false pride and walked away, making the following presumptuous and impertinent remarks: [74:23-25]

“The declaration of Mohammad that this Qur’an is a revelation from Allah is totally false. These are just eloquent statements, created with the expert conjuring of linguistic articulation. He further commented that the Qur’anic verses, recited by Mohammad, are merely a repetition of traditions and he had come across such narrations previously. The verses of the Quran are simply monuments of antiquity.”

At last, this leader of the atheists and non-believers walked away from the discussion, saying, “All this writing is just a creation of Mohammad’s mind. However, he has presented this Quran to us in such a fascinating way, that it looks like a revelation from Allah.’

In the above verses the Qur’an presents, in a very expressive manner, the working of the confused mind of a believer, non- believer, atheist or a mystic. The Qur’an pronounces clearly, that the people characterized above intend to lead the life of animals, because they are free of all limits. Taking up the subject of limitations imposed upon the humans, the last revelation of Allah contends, “This is not to restrict, in any shape and form, the liberty, freedom or the right of choice and selection of humans; these are just to differentiate them from the lower strata of life.

From the standpoint of the Qur’an, the real subject is not that of the believers [theists] or non-believers [atheists], but the fact of the matter is that these people do not want to acknowledge the accountability process or the limitations imposed upon them by the Qur’an. They want to lead totally carefree life like other mammals, especially, chimps, gorillas, orangutans, their distant cousins, which do enjoy unbridled freedom of all kinds.

However, the last revelation forbids that kind of all out liberty, as it would create chaos in the society. The Qur’an defines freedom with responsibility, and that is why it imposes certain restrictions upon the human social behavior. These voluntary limitations, in fact, groom the human personality, inculcating much more refinement in the overall behavior. But, perhaps, the atheist or theist wants to enjoy every action under the sun, without any worry of accountability.

Therefore, Allah in the verses 91:7-8 leaves no room for the idiosyncrasies of such atheistic or theistic sick minds and morally perverted individuals.

‘The human mind is a witness of the absolute reality that every individual can instill wonderful equilibrium and commendable balance in its persona by adhere ring to Allah’s directives, as He has equipped every human being with the potential of self-destruction and construction. Each individual possesses two choices, either to go for the first option or to get rid of it, by nourishing the second one and developing it to the highest level possible, utilizing the innate power of reasoning and impartial thinking. A person who really accomplishes that feat [by following the natural laws coupled with the Qur’anic principles] through his wonderful behavior is the real winner. Naturally, the one who destroys one’s character through wrong pursuits experiences personal failure at every step of the way.’

So, according to the Qur’an, the people who avoid facing the challenges of everyday living suffer from mental immaturity. Buddha’s statement that this unique planet is only a place of pain and suffering represents just one side of the coin. It is the thinking of an eccentric mind, representing a defeated attitude. He did not have the courage of changing the hell he witnessed in his homeland into paradise. On the contrary, he gave up everything in search of an illusion called nirvana.

In the verse 17:71, the Qur’an has used the word Imam as a note pad used for keeping the record of activities.

‘It is Our tenet that at the time of accountability, either in this world or in the hereafter, We shall call the people up, along with the records of their deeds. This documentation remains preserved in the mind of every individual, due to the combination and permutation of the genes in conjunction with the jumping neurons, within the gray matter.’

The Shi’ah religious scholars have misinterpreted this verse to support their myth of Imamat that on the Day of Judgment every nation will rise with its Imam. In fact, in this verse the word

Be-Imam-e-Him means, the people will come with the ledgers of their earthly activities, or report cards at the time of accountability.

The Qur’an has further elucidated this indubitable veracity in the verse 17:13, adopting a transcendental style.

‘We have put in place a kind of computer chip or inserted a minuscule ledger in the memory lobes of every human being. These devices record your thoughts, desires and actions, and preserve them in your subconscious for accountability purposes. At that time, We shall exhibit the recorded evidence to each person and ask everyone to see that carefully, before the initiation of the liability proceedings.’

Undoubtedly, Allah implants a state-of-the-art recording system in the mind of every person, including the Messengers, to document a complete account of their day-to-day activities. It is ridiculously preposterous to translate this verse with the meanings that on the Day of Judgment, the Imam of every nation will testify to the Imamat of Imam Hussain.

The Qur’an explains this acknowledged fact through the verse 36:12, utilizing a beautiful and effective combination of specific words, creating eloquence par excellence. Some people call it the miracle of the Book of Allah.

‘The rise [life] and fall [death] of nations come to pass in this world, in accordance with Our prescribed rules and regulations. We maintain a complete record of whatever they have done for their future [what transactions they made before passing away] and whatever they have left behind for the coming generations. This is the way, We keep a complete account of their activities in a perspicuous book, and on the basis of the preserved evidence of their deeds, Our accountability process roles on.’

Therefore, in the above verse, the word Imam stands for a complete record of human activities.

In Sura Bani Isreal 17:14, there is another wonderful verse used in the same context, but with a little twist in the meanings.

‘Since every person is responsible for his deeds, therefore, at the time of judgment or the time of results Allah’s accountability laws shall ask him, “Present your own account today, to provide sufficient evidence for self incrimination!’

Ms. Subuhi Ansari’s [non-believer] discourse seemed to give an impression of hopelessness on one hand and a sense of rebellion on the other. She blames God for her unsuccessful life. The Qur’an, in the verse 20:67, portrays the gloomy nature of such a baffled person.

‘Because of the wrong decisions taken by them, they find themselves in a totally confused state. In that situation, they live and die every moment and have to stay in that hellhole, till they reach the end of the line. During that time period, they are no better than the living dead.’

Mr. Amar Raffai, your son has asked a wonderful question, pertaining to the existence of Adam and Eve and how their existence can be proven. You should be proud of him. However, the Qur’an does not accept that kind of trash and the proof of this reality come from the fact, that Allah did not appoint any Messenger by the name of Adam. The Qur’an acknowledges Noah as the first Messenger of Allah. Furthermore, it also declares that the life on this planet evolved from unicellular flora and fauna and reached the present state in billions of years. The myth of Adam and Eve presented by the Bible [she was born out of his crooked rib] does not carry any truth. The scientific circles have rejected the creationist standpoint eons ago. The philosophy of the primordial sin is just another farce. Anyways, in that case, all human beings [especially Muslim, Christians and Jews] are the incestuous off springs of Adam and Eve. Mr. Athar Razvi belongs to Shi’ah faith; it, therefore, means he is a Christian Sha’ih. He has a multifaceted personality. By the way, he is a poet too and every one knows how poets are.

SECOND PART

The word Allah

takes shape with the combination of the basic roots Alif, Lam and Ha. It is a proper noun and its application is restricted to the following attributes:

1- Identifies an entity that exists by itself and is recognized as the Supreme Being.

2- There is nothing like it and all human beings look up to it, when in trouble.

7- The term Allah does not give any indication of gender; does not demonstrate a singular or a plural form; does no reflect any culture and is not a human creation.

8- Allah is beyond the confines of space and time and the terms like, the first and the last, are hollow adjectives to define infinity.

9- The expression ‘Allah’ is not a derivative of al-ilah [a pre-Islamic Arabian idol]. It is altogether a different entity, having totally different roots.

10-Allah is the epitome of perfection and thus is free of all conceivable defects.

Allah is beyond the perception of human mind. No living person has ever seen him over millennia and He has not directly talked to any one, not even his chosen Messengers. However, the concept of Allah does not change from place to place, nation to nation, and tribe to tribe. But, it is not at all right to say that god of all religions are the same; there is a distinct difference between Ram and Raheem and they are not one and the same. The ‘Father’ of Christians, the ‘Judeo’ of Jews, the ‘Ishwar’ or ‘Parmaatma’ of Hindus and ‘Armazd’ of Zoroastrians are totally different from one another, because their attributes are world apart. Many gods of antiquity are dead now. A god dies, when it loses its following. Amen Ra of Egypt, Greek Jupiter, Baal of Babylonia, and Zeus of Rome are all dead Gods, as they have lost their worshippers.

Nevertheless, there are numerous other gods, besides Allah existing in this world. According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, there are some 2,500 gods representing ten thousands religions. It means that the religious leaders have chopped up one God into thousands of lesser gods, or in other words similar and dissimilar gods.

Following are some of the major categories of god or god groups, including feminine deities that are worshipped in the world even in the 21^st century:

What a pity is it, that Karen Armstrong, the author of the book, entitled, ‘A history of God,’ [1993], a previous Christian nun [believer] now turned atheist [non-believer] was searching for God in Judaism, Christianity, sectarian Islam and other ten thousands religions of the world! This shows the extent of her misunderstanding and the lack of knowledge about the subject matter that she was trying to explore. How strange is it that she never tried to look into the verses of the Qu’ran, for the elusive concept!

The word Allah appears in the Quran some 2000 times. Presented here are some of the verses pertaining to the definition of Allah, which would enable the reader to have an unambiguous perception of His exclusive attributes.

1- In the verse, 6:103, the Qur’an says, He is beyond your perception or no vision can grasp Him

‘Human vision, perception, deliberation and even wildest imagination cannot develop any concept of Him, but He has a handle on everything [right from the quarks and gluons to billions of galactic formations, within the ever expanding space-time continuum or from simple microbes to most complex life forms, including human beings]. His [physical, chemical and biological] laws encompass and control the entire universe in such a way, that your sensory prowess fails you to take cognizance of multitudinous events taking place simultaneously. Through His perfect natural laws, He has access to every human thought, imagination and comprehension and is the only one, who possesses complete information about, what goes on, in this cosmos, every moment.’

Any spiritual eye, a saint or even a Messenger cannot perceive him. The common belief among the Muslims that Mohammad had tête-à-tête with Allah at the occasion of Mairaj, is absolutely baseless, and is not even upheld by the Qur’an.

The above verse carries the term La-Tudrekoo

, meaning a notch at the end of a scale, the bottom most rung of a ladder or metaphorically speaking the lowest level of human degradation. This word La-Tudrekoo

is an antonym of Darja

,and identifies individual steps of a stair, moving along which, one ascends to the highest point of a built-up structure. It also signifies acme of human dignity. The human desire to watch Allah in a physical form or shape is, in fact, a denial of its very creation.

There is a dimensional argument that proves the inability of humans to have a look at Allah in its totality. It is a well-established mathematical conviction that a one-dimensional being cannot have any concept of a two-dimensional entity. Similarly, a two-dimensional life form can never visualize the real appearance of a three-dimensional creature. Now humans are four-dimensional in nature; three dimensions being length, width, height and the fourth is the time, which is perpendicular to the other three. Now that is a paradox, which is of no concern in this discussion.

But, here one thing is certain; Allah cannot be three or four-dimensional, because in that case He would be limited like us. Because He is unlimited, then He has to be either multi-dimensional or zero-dimensional like pure energy. But in the later case, He would not have any concept of us, according to the Law of Dimensions given above. Whatever may be the case, the reality comes out clear and loud; the humans can never see Him in His entirety.

All Islamic scholars and translators have written that according to the verse 7:143, Mosses requested Allah that he wanted to have a look upon Him, with his own eyes. It is illogical to say a thing of the sort, because such a magnificent Messenger of Allah could never make such an obtuse wish.

‘Mosses arrived at the designated place for receiving commandments from His Nourisher, for the sustenance of his nation. He was very much scared of the cruel and powerful hold of the Pharaoh, over the entire country. He was further perturbed by the overall cantankerous behavior of his oppressed people. He did not know how to rejuvenate his almost lifeless nation that has become fatalistic and has adopted a defeatist attitude, because of the oppression and slavery going on for millennia. He called out loud, “O’ my Nourisher! Show me the way, how can I make my nation to implement Your social divine order, in their society? It is an awfully difficult assignment and it seems next to impossible for me to accomplish anything positive.” Allah replied, “You shall not see me [meaning, you will not watch this revolution get off the ground], if well established and powerful leaders, who are like lofty immovable mountains, keep the path of your movement blocked. When Moses realized that his Nourisher has assigned him a task of great importance and responsibility of demolishing the mighty empire of the Pharaoh, together with giving him appropriate instructions, to cut down influential leaders like Hamaan, the highest priest of the empire, Koro, the keeper of the royal treasure and other high ranking members of the royal family, to size, he began to think about the plan of action very carefully. During that intense thought process, he forgot all about his surroundings, but in his mind he felt bursts of intense light exploding and thunder echoing loudly. He sat there in a state of trance, completely motionless, and silent for quite a while. Reverting to the real world, Moses felt fully satisfied with his thought out modus operandi against the tyrannical rule of Pharaoh, to make his revolution a brilliant success. He exclaimed with jubilation, “Your laws are perfect and I am returning to your peaceful program. I shall be the first person amongst my companions, taking initiative for the establishment of a peaceful society. Undoubtedly, they are also working very hard for the same objective.”

In the verse 2:260, the Qur’an states, that Abraham faced the same kind of hopeless situation pertaining to his nation, and he also called Him out loud, “O’ my Nourisher! Show me the way, how can I rejuvenate my lifeless nation?”

In view of the above, it is really dumb to even think for a moment, that revolutionary Moses, who very well knew the attributes of Allah, could make such a foolish demand of perceiving ‘Him in person.’ There are so many forces in the universe like, x-rays, sound waves, electricity, magnetic field, viruses, etc., which we cannot even detect with most powerful microscopes and gadgetry, but it does not mean that they do not exist. They do so and very much affect our lives.

2- In the verse 42:11, the Qur’an declares, “Nothing is like Him, because He is the Creator of the highest and the lowest parts of this universe.

‘He created cosmos and your earth for the very first time. He created life from a unit-cell and then divided it in to male and female genders. It took billions of years of evolution, passing through innumerable gradual and spontaneous changes, to reach the current form of life on this planet. Life progressed slowly to human gestation period of nine months and it only happened, when reproduction changed from asexual to sexual. We created you in pairs and then provided you and other animals with the means [in the form of sperm and egg stored in male and female bodies, respectively] to multiply yourselves, whenever you want. This way you can independently increase or decrease human population on this planet. You can understand His personal attributes through these examples, but you can never ever comprehend, imagine, or, define anything even remotely resembling Allah, because He is different from what you perceive in the cosmos. Even the question of ‘how’ He is ‘different’ from all that exists, within the confines of the ever-expanding space-time continuum, is beyond human perception [because human mind and other faculties have severe limitations]. It is, therefore, illogical to find similarities between His and human attributes, though both may possess some far removed semblance in certain aspects. And after creation, he did not leave it on its own. On the contrary, He established a phenomenal system of watching and recording everything, including humans, to maintain check and balance, together with accountability.’

3- ‘Allah is the Supreme Being, having the absolute authority and infinite charisma. He presents the perfect model of His Asma-ul-Hussna [the epitome of exquisiteness and perfection] scattered all over the pages of the Qur’an, like scintillating pearls.’[20:8 and 59:24]

‘You will find sovereignty and domination of His commandments everywhere in the expanding universe and beyond [Allah being a proper noun, means no man-made rules or regulations]. Like the attributes of His name [which are most apposite, absolute and authentic] mentioned in the Qur’an, His sets of laws, through which, He keeps the cosmos up and running are perfect, precise and par-excellence. He is the Supreme Being in this cosmos and beyond, because His laws [physical, chemical and biological] are equally applicable everywhere. The entire universe is in the grip of his mighty and immutable commandments. His attributes are perfect and free of all conceivable blemishes or imperfections. He possesses the sole authority for our guidance through the Quranic laws and exclusive responsibility for our nourishment through the processes of Molecular Biology developed through evolution.’[20:8]

4- ‘Mohammad explain it to them! Allah is the only supreme ruler; His laws are unique and are without any partnership.’

The Muslims of the current era do not believe in Allah, because the supposed Muslim majority states have the sovereign human systems established in the form of sham democracies, cruel dictatorships, tyrannical autocratic rulers and ignorant theocracies. Their belief in Allah is merely lip service and all of them, without any exceptions, are compulsive liars. In deed, they perfectly match the definition of Mushrekeen, presented by the Qur’an. [6:19]

‘He created the highest and the lowest parts of this cosmos, the very first time and creates everything from nothing; then how Allah could have a son, when He never had a wife? This is your Allah, the Nourisher, Who created whatever exists, within and without. You should follow only His laws and remember that He is the protector and is all knowing.’ [6:102-3]

Since the Muslims are not obeying His laws, they do not trust Allah’s laws revealed in the Qur’an.

6- ‘No man-made law exists in this universe. Allah’s laws rule the cosmos through the continuing process of evolution. Every single entity in the entire cosmos receives nurturing through spontaneous and gradual changes, and these transformations are inter-linked.’ [2:163]

8- ‘It is Allah, who shapes you up at the embryonic state, through the procreation process, in accordance with His law. He is very powerful, but His unrivalled authority has a blend of wisdom and logic. He is not a dictator.’ [3:6]

It, therefore, means that all despots ruling the Muslim majority countries are doing so against the wish of Allah.

9- ‘Allah has infinite knowledge (2:247) and He comprehends all what is happening in this universe, because of that faculty.’[20:98]

10- ‘Allah is the best planner for the protection [3:53] of His creation.’

11- ‘Allah’s laws of check and balance are quick and efficient in application, but every action takes a specific duration of time for its completion.’[2:202]

12- ‘Allah is the Sustainer of the entire universe and keeps absolute control over this sensational phenomenon, through His immutable laws.’[27:26]

13- ‘To trust in Allah means to establish a government on the basis of His constitution. [27:60]

Most of them have no idea what are they doing, because they are not using their faculties and knowledge to understand the message. [27:61]

Some may know the basic reality that Allah’s laws can solve their problems, but they don’t know how to go about it. [27:62]

Some people, who call themselves Muslim are, indeed, worst than non-Muslims and are straightforward Mushrakeen [because they prefer human legislation, as compared to Allah’s charter of freedom, rights and obligations].’ [27:63]

The modern Muslim clergy are clamoring for democracy, as a replacement for Allah’s constitution, which is a clear defiance of the word of Allah.

14- ‘To have trust in Allah, means to think impartially, utilizing human senses.’ [27:64]

Most of the people have blind faith in Allah. They are hopelessly naïve, and knowingly or otherwise, add their wishes and emotions to the divine social order. Sometimes, they associate partners with Allah, while practicing popular rituals and customs, coming down from the fore fathers. The Qur’an is of the opinion that this kind of behavior is nothing more than, monkey see, monkey do. Believing in Allah means thinking objectively, while using your convictions together with faculty of reasoning.’

15- ‘Allah’s laws are immutable. These principles are not only independent of space and time, but also fully control both of those building blocks of the universe. [28:70]

Time does not matter to Him. Its beginning and end are under His command. Every existing entity [except human beings] within this universe works according to His format, producing excellent results.’

16- ‘Allah’s laws are supreme and powerful; nothing evil can even touch them. They defeat and demolish the oppressor, in favor of the oppressed. Implementation of this code, in any society, shall root out social injustice, and economic corruption prevalent in there.’[38:70]

17- ‘Allah’s laws have domination all over, in this universe, and beyond. He knows what has appeared so for, and what has yet to come, through His evolutionary cycle, which is, at the moment, way beyond human perception.’[59:22]

18- ‘Allah is supreme, sovereign and owner of this universe. His natural working laws have unlimited application throughout the cosmos. He is totally at peace with Himself and maintains tranquility and security everywhere in the heavens, also keeping it away from evil and destructives forces. None else, but He is the Guardian, Watcher and the Controller of this cosmos. The domination belongs to Him only, as He is Al- Jabara [a powerful medium that sets things right; restores dilapidated objects to the original form; removes ill-health and misfortune. Additionally, it is a delicate technique used by the surgeons to realign the broken bones correctly, either with splints or plastering]. Thus Jabbar is an attribute of Allah that changes wrongs into rights and maintains perfect functioning of all forces and bodies within the expanse of space-time continuum. He is the most dignified, possessing infinite glory, but is totally beyond anything and everything, which humans may ascribe to Him for sharing His solo divinity.’[59:23]

19- ‘Allah is the Sustainer and Nourisher [maintains Sun’s energy supply] of all life forms, in the East, as well as in the West.’[73:9]

20- ‘Allah controls life and death through the process of evolution. He is your Nourisher, Sustainer, and yours earliest Ancestors.’[44:8]

21- ‘None of your actions in this world remain hidden from Allah.’[2:74, 85]

22- ‘Allah’s bounties are unlimited, and He selects the person for receiving revelation, whom He considers worthy of that responsibility. No one can ever receive any commandments from Allah, through meditation, worshiping, practicing some mystical calisthenics in caves, forests, or standing up in the shallow waters of rivers, on one leg.’ [2:105]

The Islamic and Sufi folklores carry a pertinent, but absolutely false story, how Mohammad used to retreat to a cave called Hira for worshiping or mediating, before His appointment to the exalted position of the last Messenger of Allah. And it was there that he received his first revelation. This cock and bull fabrication is against the very tenets of the Qur’an and is a conspiracy against Allah and His most magnificent last Messenger and the Book bestowed upon him.’

1. ‘Allah definitely despises those, who upon getting hold of power, cause chaos and disorder in a society, by becoming selfish and keeping all sources of wealth for their personal use or squander them away recklessly upon worthless games and schemes. He also condemns the accumulation of resources [on national or international level] in a few hands, under the umbrella of ‘peaceful’ administrations [like, capitalism communism, socialism, and the current, co-called, Islamic regimes].’ [2:205]

2. ‘The people, who violate the divine laws and limits established by Allah during defensive wars against oppression and tyranny, are not his esteemed people.’[2:190]

But, as per Moudoodi’s edicts, the Muslim soldiers have every right to rape the female prisoners of war. Not only that, they can circulate them around, amongst their fellow soldiers for fun, frolic and variety. After having their full, they can sell them off to the people, who can pay the price.

4- ‘Allah has no love lost for deceivers and criminals. They think that they are fleecing others, but, in fact, they are swindling no one else, except themselves.’[4:107]

5- ‘Allah does not appreciate indecent, and vulgar verbal expression. He also abhors pornographic materials and representations.’[4:148]

6- ‘Adhere to the laws of Allah prescribed for eatables [both solids and liquids] and must remain within the limits, avoiding profligacy. Allah hates extravagance.’[7:31]

A vast majority of current Muslims are cheats [they recite the Qur’an for self-deception]. As Allah does not appreciate the likes of them, that is why, they are facing humiliation and degradation every step of the way, in this world.

8- ‘Allah vehemently despises those humans, who are arrogant, stubborn and bigheaded.’[28:76]

· To dislocate any thing or a body from its proper and required place by unnecessary force, or exceeding the pertinent limits prescribed.

· Maintaining opposing elements or living things together, like putting a wolf for guarding a herd of sheep, against wild animals.

As per the last directive mentioned above, all Muslim governments in the world and the alleged Religious Scholars are Zalmeen

Almost all Muslims of the world are Kafreen, because they are bent upon disregarding the divine social order of the Qur’an, and adopting the man-made rules and regulations.

1- ‘They ask you about sexual intercourse with women during their menstruation cycle. Tell them to stay away from it, because during this period, women are not in their normal physical state! Once this period runs out, they can approach them in the manner suggested by Allah’s laws. If you did not practice this safeguard previously, do so from now on! Allah admires those, who take care of personal hygiene, get off the wrong path and follow the right one.’[2:222]

Mohsineen are the people, who avoid extremes in their daily lives and maintain a normal and well-balanced behavior, in accordance with the teachings of the Qur’an. [2:195]

4- ‘Allah has great regard for the people, who put their trust in Allah’s code only, after practically testing and evaluating it in various situations.’[3:159]

5- ‘Allah is the best judge of all and the people, who award fair, just and impartial decisions, in the light of the Qur’anic set of laws, command great respect with Him.’[5:42]

Saabreen are defined as the people, who continuously struggle to achieve a given or selected objective. They continue struggling steadfastly, with patience and perseverance, to establish a just and evenhanded system of government on this planet. [3:146]

The alleged Muslim Scholars, usually translate Saabreen, in the sense of despair, or a state doom and gloom, which cannot, possibly, be fixed.

7- ‘Allah expresses love and affection for those, who possess purity of mind and body, care for maintaining that state, are free of sects and do not discriminate on the basis of color, creed, ethnic origin, race etc.’ [9:108]

1- ‘Allah is the One, Who created Homo sapiens for the very first time, and endowed this extraordinary species with special powers of hearing, watching, and mental capability to acquire knowledge of the cosmos for producing excellent results, through tremendous progress, in every field of life.’ [23:78]

But, it’s a shame, that current 1.3 billions believers are not utilizing the marvelous gifts of Allah and are wasting their precious time by performing useless rituals like Nimaz [supplication] five times a day, chanting Darood-o-Salaam and lots of other worthless mumbo jumbo, about which there are no directives given in the last revelation of Allah.

2- ‘Mohammad, these believers intend to drag you into unnecessary, useless and time-consuming discussions. Teach them only the lively agenda of the Qur’an, pertaining to their role in the peaceful society. But they are not of sound mind, which can be proven by asking them one simple question, “Tell me, who owns this earth, with all its hidden treasures, if you got the knowledge?” They would admit, “It is all according to Allah’s rules and regulations.” Then ask them, “What is wrong with you? Why don’t you think about the constitution presented by the Qur’an, for establishing a just society, on this planet?’[23: 84, 85]

3- ‘Mohammad, in order to find out the real affliction of the believers, ask them another question, “Who is the sovereign, and whose laws are nourishing you and the evolutionary spiral, throughout the entire universe.” They would reply immediately, “Allah’s laws have complete control.” Quickly ask them again! “Then why are you hesitant with respect to establishing a system based upon Allah’s laws?” [23:86, 87]

4- ‘To identify the believer’s syndrome, ask them another simple question, “If His commandments have the sovereignty, and complete control upon the entire cosmos, then whose laws protect you, and provide refuge against the destructive forces of the human legislations?” They will right away reply, “Allah‘s laws.” Ask them, then why are you presenting, and following the phony system developed by the people [Islamic democracy, Islamic socialism, and Islamic autocracy] as the real truth.’[23:88-99]

5- ‘When you ask these believers, “Who has created this earth and other innumerable heavenly bodies, and who has put the moon and the sun to serve the humankind.” They would confirm, “Allah’s physical, chemical, and biological laws have complete control over the entire universe.” Mohammad, ask these blind believers again that after recognizing Allah’s immutable laws, why they turn away from their decision of establishing a government based upon the charter of the Qur’an?’[29:61]

6- ‘If you ask them, “Who creates downpour out of the clouds [through the gigantic water treatment system] to revitalize the dead land?” They will come out right away with the answer, ‘Allah!’ Adding further, they would say, “This land rejuvenating procedure is worthy of praise, because of the excellent results it produces.” And when you ask the believers again, “Why don’t you apply the same wholesome process to your society, in order to enliven the entire community?” They right away refuse to go that way, because their personal programs and vital interests get on a collision course with their rational consciousness and sense of reasoning, creating a status quo.’ [29:63]

1- ‘People have observed the cycle of life and death and they know that We produce life from death and vice versa. We revive the dead land [parched, non-productive] to support new plant life [providing the proper moisture and the nutrients]. Similarly, the lifeless nations can revive themselves by adopting and implementing, the reinvigorating, divine social order. If they refuse to do so, they would get fossilized right in this world.’ [30-19]

2- ‘The gradual evolution of the human species, out of the periodic table [in billions of years] is a sign, a mark, and a proof of the existence of Allah’s primordial laws. It provides a convincing evidence for the people, who envisage that marvelous moment in the geological history of the earth, when for the first time, spontaneous formation of the primary group of Homo sapiens occurred.’ [30:20]

3- ‘We create life from a single living cell, which splits into male and female genders. Naturally, it proves the existence of Allah, who created spouses for you from amongst yourselves, so that you may enjoy peace, pleasure, and contentment with each other. He also built a strong bond of love, affection, intimacy and compassion between husbands and wives, for developing their innate and inherent capabilities, to lead a happy and successful life on this planet. There are ample indications for proving the existence of Allah for those, who profoundly think about this single piece of evidence.’[30:21]

4- ‘The creation of countless stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, etc., and the existence of a large number of different languages and colors spread across the cosmos, have played an immensely important role in speeding up the process of evolution. This is an irrefutable evidence, to prove the existence and working of Allah’s laws. Spectroscopy, the study of inherent colors alone, has provided an excellent tool for learning about the composition of the stars, their distances, and the speedy inter-galactic recessions. This is another proof for the intellectuals about the excellent working of the laws of Allah. A myriad of colors and languages enhance the beauty and understanding around the world. All humans are respectable members of the global community and must not divide themselves into sects, factions or political parties and also should oppose discrimination based upon race, creed, color, ethnic origin and nationality. These are some of the realities based upon Allah’s code for those, who possess innate capabilities to explore and comprehend, what lies between the earth and the heavens.’[30:22]

5- ‘Plenty of evidence, proving Allah’s existence, are spread all around for the people, who have the capabilities and the desire to investigate, in the growth of crops and fruits, like olives, dates, palms, grapes and a large variety of others.’ [16:110]

6- ‘If you do self analysis, watch your sleeping habits, during the night or the day time, coupled with your working schedule in pursuit of His bounties, you would discover sufficient evidence proving the existence of Allah.’[30:23]

7- ‘The proof of His existence lies in the clouds, which harbor lightening, a source of fear, as well as of hope. We pour water from clouds, in the form of rain [to sustain life and confidence] to revive the lifeless land [a drought stricken land is virtually dead; nothing grows there]. This single event, carries sufficient testimony for His existence, especially, for those, who utilize their mental capabilities, while keeping their eyes open.’[30:24]

8- ‘Do the intellectuals ever seriously think about the Rizziq [see the note below], We have spread all over this beautiful planet. Allah has provided ample and abundant means of sustenance for the entire humanity, and has also provided measures for its distribution, for the maintenance of healthy life. Surely, it is a credible proof for those, who use their heads and trust the peaceful aspects of Our wholesome program that works through the distribution process.’[30:37]

The term Rizziq requires specific emphasis; that is why a special addendum, explaining its meanings in detail, follows below, which should be read in conjunction with the above verse:

This term carries a myriad of meanings, which are very important in their precise applications. For a starter, it may be anything beneficial or profitable for the people, individually and collectively. From the nourishment point of view, all resources associated with the production of crops, like land, rain, nutrients, minerals, sunlight, fertilizers, farm machinery, irrigation channels, etc, fall under this category.

Besides that, all communications forces, energy sources, including electricity and all others [yet to be discovered] are actively working for making the human life easy, profitable and pleasant. This word also connotes sustenance, for the development of healthy body, sound mind and superior intellect, to acquire human friendly knowledge in a peaceful environment. Additionally, Rizziq encompasses healthy foodstuff, coming from animal world like honey, milk, and meat, which humans do not manufacture directly.

9- ‘Don’t you watch Allah’s Law of Buoyancy in action, which facilitates gigantic ships to crisscross the oceans easily and on daily basis? This law is a wonderful blessing, and gift from Allah, providing sufficient proof of Allah’s presence for those, who persistently try to unravel the mysteries of the universe. They always discover new phenomena, whenever they look deep into the space, which is their reward for their consistent efforts.’ [31-31]

10- ‘Mohammad, try to instill in the minds of your adversaries, that there would be no reprieve from the established accountability system, they would definitely face in the next life, beginning at the end of their current existence in this world! Make them understand, unequivocally, that this declaration originates with Allah, Who created them for the very first time, through the evolutionary process! They must comprehend indubitably, that if He could evolve them out of nothing, the very first time, it would be no big deal for Him to recreate them in the hereafter. Why are they so much bewildered about the concept of their being alive in the hereafter, and what stops them from accepting this fundamental truth? In order to bring this point home, Allah wants them to review His process of procreation for their own reproduction. They should just think about it; how a male like them, ejaculates his sperm deep inside a female, and then through a series of highly complex processes, the most wonderful event unfolds; with life procreating life. The moment of conception, the formation of a fetus, and its development in a mother’s womb, till the moment of truth, in the form of baby’s delivery, do not follow any prescribed legislated procedures. I all happens in compliance with, Our Law of Procreation.’ [56-57-59]

11- ‘Do you ever objectively think about the crops you cultivate? In your opinion, are you the cause of their growth, or We are responsible for that. The Qur’an enunciates that a farmer sows the seeds in a properly prepared soil. Allah recognizes and respects the hard work of the cultivator, but simultaneously explains His contribution, throughout this process, beginning with the land up to the harvesting of the full-grown crop.’

· The knowledge, capability and the skill a farmer possesses for this work has been imparted by Us.

· Water; without which life cannot survive on earth, is completely Our creation and no one else’s.

· The Sun, which is the only source of energy for the planet Earth, is moving in its orbit and serving all life forms, because of our command and control.

· The Moon that provides the cool moonlight to you all during the night, after the hot day, and also imparts gorgeous colors to the fruits and crops, is our property too.

Allah states, “While, We do respect planters hard work and skill for preparing the soil, sowing the seeds and watering the fields at proper times, but We also have made worthwhile contribution in the form of six tangible items mentioned above.” Allah further adds, “Justice demands, he should take away his share of the produce, which should be more than enough for him till the harvesting of the next crop, and leave the rest as Our part. This should go to the administration established upon the divine constitution to be used, as and when the need arises. Have you ever thought about the possibility that if Our eternal laws do not protect your crops, even beyond the ripening stage, it could all turn into worthless hay. Then you would be mourning with grief uttering incoherently, “Surely, we have been ruined completely and suffered an enormous loss.” [56:62-63]

12- ‘Have you ever thought about the drinking water, which is the basic ingredient for the sustenance of life, in the entire universe? Do you pour it down out of the clouds or We do it [through Our continental water treatment system]? If We so desire, We can turn it salty, then how would you be able to grow bumper crops and keep the industries running that depend upon the agro products.’[56:68,69,70]

13- ‘Do you ever give a serious thought to the fire you ignite and burn? For a long time after your appearance on the Earth, through the evolutionary progression, you did not know that so much latent energy was locked in the trees for your use, as a fuel source [trees here symbolize all kinds of vegetation and foliage, that remained buried in the bowels of the earth for millions of years and turned into fossil fuels, like coal and petroleum]. If you carefully study Our universal system of nourishment, you would realize that though you work very hard to produce food and other stuff, yet all natural resources, which you utilize freely to achieve your objectives, are Our creation. It is, therefore, imperative for you to keep the portion necessary for your personal and family needs and turn over the rest to the established administration for utilizing that wealth, according to Our commandments. [56-71-73]

1- ‘Indeed, We created Homo sapiens and We know innermost thoughts of every member of this race. Figuratively, We are closer to each individual than even its own Jugular vein, meaning thereby, Our Physical, Chemical and Biological laws are intimately and actively involved with the physical functioning of every person.’ [50-16]

2- ‘A dying person is in complete control of Our rules, governing the phases of life and death, on this planet. You watch yourself finally slipping away towards the end of your time on earth, but you cannot do anything about it; you are simply helpless. It is just a one way passage, and that is why, the dead people never come back, but you don’t think about it seriously.’ [56-85]

3- ‘He [means his immutable and eternal laws] is with you, wherever you are.’[57:4]

4- ‘Mohammad, have your adversaries, opposing this peaceful revolution, ever thought about the absolute reality that whatever exists in the universe has been created by Allah, utilizing His infinite knowledge and wisdom. He, therefore, knows the infinitesimal details of whatever exists in the highest and the lowest parts of this universe. His surveillance system is so perfect for the accountability purposes that as a figure of speech, if three persons are secretly discussing anything, then the fourth one present there is Allah, represented by His Laws. Similarly, with five, He is the sixth one. Allah further explains that the numerical examples are just metaphorical representations for making them understand the truth about the active presence of His laws everywhere. This means that wherever, His laws are in action, there He exists. In other words, the principle remains, “He is with you, wherever you are”[57:4].

The purpose of this presence by means of Our laws [based upon Our infinite knowledge] is to control the activities of every thing [animate or inanimate] and to bring forth the evidence of their past good or bad deeds and actions taken, at the time of accountability.’ [58:7]

1- ‘Allah is fully aware of the innermost thoughts of His creation.’[3:154]

2- ‘Everything in this cosmos belongs to Allah, so no one else has any right to claim any part of it, how insignificant it might be. It means that buying and selling land on this planet is a clear violation of the divine constitution presented by the Qur’an. In fact, it is the responsibility of the state to provide free housing to every individual, till his death. Allah is fully cognizant of the fact, how money lenders [modern day mortgage providers, financial corporations and insurance companies] drown the people in debt through buying and selling land, houses, and other residential and commercial properties.’ [3:180]

If only land distribution is carried out according to Allah‘s rules and regulations, sixty percent of the human problems like poverty, economic dependency, and bankruptcy would vanish from the face of the earth.

3- ‘If you make an honest and conscious effort to reform the society in line with Allah’s code, by discarding the problematic man-made laws, this society would live in peace, enjoy security, and leap into prosperity, as a reward for that struggle, and Allah is the best in bestowing bounties upon such people.’[3:195]

4- ‘Implementation of the Qur’anic set of laws, exclusively, depends upon you. The one, who would take a stand for the establishment of a just, stable and progressive society, would enjoy a fair share out of it. However, one who opposes such an effort would face the respective consequences in the form of misery, humiliation and destruction. Allah is watching and witnessing, whatever you do to assess your efforts for the final judgment of your deeds.’[4:85]

5- ‘The main objective of your struggle is to establish a peaceful and prosperous society, based upon the Qur’anic charter. If you receive uplifting support from any quarter, you must pay back, at least, in the same way, without going overboard. Surely, Allah keeps account of every event or happening and its resultant outcome. Undoubtedly, He is the record keeper, par excellence.’[4:96]

6- ‘Allah’s set of laws are in practical application throughout the universe and nothing is out of their sphere of influence. A similar system of rules and regulations [based upon the charter of the Qur’an] should be established by you upon this magnificent planet to ensure eternal peace.’[4:126]

7- ‘Allah is the preeminent appreciator, benefactor and producer of plentiful recompense for those, who implement and live by His laws, on their own accord. He accomplishes all that, because of his limitless comprehension.’[4:147]

8- ‘Allah is the incomparable record keeper of your thoughts, deeds and actions. [It is so, because every human being carries a built-in memory and overwhelming consciousness, which keeps one in close contact with one’s past, till death.] He, utilizing His perfect understanding of the human nature, which He created in the first place, designed this elaborate system.’[4:148]

9- ‘Allah has established the Ka’bah, as an international center for presenting the divine social order to the entire humanity.’[5:97]

The total Muslim Ummah, divided into 57 independent countries, and innumerable sects, should get together and turn that ancient house into the headquarter of the United Muslim Organization [UMO]. They should quit UNO, where they command no respect at all, and are in the virtual servitude of the advanced Western nations.

‘This house offers self-esteem, strength and independence to all vulnerable and destitute nations of the world.’ [22:23, 29]

The yearly ritualistic pilgrimage by the common Muslims, just for the sake of Allah’s reward [swab], going on for the last millennium had never been the intention of the Qur’an. This periodic mammoth gathering, held per annum, has not solved any of Ummah’s pressing problems so far, except creating some more of the administrative nature.

Going around the Ka’bah by a multitude of Muslims is kind of a vicious cycle that is totally non-productive. It is just like going in circles, reaching nowhere. The right thing to do is to a have an annual meeting of the Muslim heads of states, to discuss the issues that need immediate attention and come up with adequate solutions.

The religious rites, like running seven times between two outcroppings of granite, called Al-Safa and Al- Marweh constitutes a worthless activity. The same is true about hitting three pillars, known as Jamorah, or three imaginary Satan’s, with pebbles. There are many other rites, which, in reality, are a continuation of the typical pre-Islamic legacy, like stopping for a night at a place called Muzlfa. All of these constitute the biggest blasphemy, as there is not a single command in any verse of the Qur’an, supporting these activities.

10-‘Belief in Allah means, to establish a government, based upon the constitution presented by the Qur’an. However, the current Muslim administrations collectively represent a bunch of Kafreen, Zalmeen and Fasqeen as far as Allah is concerned, because they are implementing legislated charters, or royal decrees.’[5:44, 45, 47]

The Muslim rulers, who do not implement Allah’s constitution, after coming to power, and still claim that their governments are strictly following the tenets of the Qur’an, in fact, fall into the black hole of Kafreen, Zalmeen, and ‘Fasqeen.’ In addition, the Muslim clergy, who try to keep human legislations in line with the last revelation of Allah, instead of implementing the later in its totality, are committing a much bigger crime.

11- ‘Allah’s system of justice, based upon His eternal and immutable laws, possesses the power and authority to chase you down for admissible punishment, because of your repeatedly committed felonies and crimes.’ [5:95]

The run of the mill translations, which represent Allah as a revengeful fiend, commit a malicious and defaming act, against Him. This constitutes a definite attempt to construe twisted connotations from the straightforward verses of the Qur’an.

12- ‘Allah does not guide, or show the correct way to those, who pull away from the right path of their own free will. It applies to those also, who discard the truth, or cross the limits established by the divine law.’[9:24]

13- ‘Allah does not bless those with His guidance, who refuse to acknowledge the truth and hide the real facts of life.’[9:37]

14- ‘Allah’s commandments are just like bright lights illuminating the cosmos and by following these you can discover the truth and the absolute values governing the entire cosmos.’[24:35]

15- ‘Allah created all sorts of life forms from water. The common animals fall into the following three main categories.

Allah has created all living beings in accordance with His Law of Creation and for this purpose He perfected the required measures, parameters and standards, which are under His complete control. You can also discover basic rules governing life, if you run the required tests and conduct necessary experiments in your laboratories.’ [24:45]

16- Allah introduces Himself to Moses in an exceptionally respectable and magnificent manner, through the Gabriel force, declaring, “O Moses! I am Allah, the Almighty, who is the fountainhead of all wisdom and knowledge.’[27:9]

17- Another extraordinary introduction goes like this, “O Moses! Here I am [the epitome of love and affection], or here We are [all powerful] Allah, Sustenance Provider and Nourisher of all nations.’[28:30]

18- ‘In the very beginning, Allah created life by combining together elements of the Periodic Table hidden in the slushy mud appearing alongside the waterways. Later on, He allowed this simple process to evolve an embryo [from a droplet of sperm] in order to mould you into mates, for reproduction.’[35:11]

19- Allah always fulfills His promises. The quotes from the Qur’an to prove this declaration are as follows:

· ‘The people, who are struggling for the establishment of a peaceful society and implementing reforms, in line with the Qur’anic constitution, must remain assured that We shall transform that community from the regressive state into a progressive and dynamic one, where every person would enjoy peace, prosperity and security. They and their generations would successfully dwell in that environment forever [with the proviso that they keep checks and balances on its direction, and keep it safe from the intrusion of human legislation]. It’s Allah’s covenant, which always withstands the test of time. Whose word can be the truest, as compared to Allah’s?’ [4:122]

· ‘Allah’s laws have total supremacy in the entire universe and this statement is based upon absolute reality and unquestionable facts. But most people do not utilize Allah given gift of rationality and other mental faculties to discover the real truth.’[10:55]

· ‘Allah’s laws, running the entire universe, are absolute. This is Allah’s promise and He never goes back on it, but most people do not utilize their inherent senses and full potential of the faculty of reasoning, to check out the truth of such guarantees.’[30:6]

20- ‘With regards to the matrimonial bond, you must stay within Our prescribed limits for a happy and prospers family life. Remember, Our laws are watching your activities at all times.’[33:52]

21- ‘Allah is the one, Who rendered the Earth habitable for you and made the sky a canopy over it, as a result of evolution going on for billions of years. He gave you the perfect physique from both esthetic viewpoint and practical requisites. As your Nourisher, He has provided you with a large variety of high-quality, but ample means of sustenance. The food is delectable, delicious, with a taste that one loves to savor, and fine aroma comes as an added bonus. Such is your Allah, the Nourisher and the Nurturer. His laws are eternal and immutable. The sources of foodstuff are not limited to any one nation, because He is the Provider for all nations.’[40:64]

22- ‘Allah is the creator of all matter, celestial bodies, and life forms that exist within the cosmos. He knows, in what manner and which way the things are changing. He maintains full control over every object and each event, through His Divine management, and administration.’[39:62]

23- ‘No one, but Allah reveals the Qur’an with real and tangible facts, to present an independent and sovereign constitution. The code of the Qur’an can be considered akin to a scale that exactly determines your decent and indecent activities. Implementation of these excellent laws would establish an objective government, wherein, every activity would be monitored by these laws.’[42:17]

24- ‘Allah’s commandments instill courage, determination, and will to fight, within the minds of Mohammad’s outnumbered companions, who are striving steadfastly for the establishment of a peaceful society. To translate their efforts into a resounding victory, Allah helps them through positive natural forces, which are active within the universe at all levels, and can influence the human efforts for a worthwhile cause, imperceptibly. This strategy originates with Allah, Whose cumulative knowledge and wisdom is way beyond human perception.’[48:4]

25- ‘Every human being has a built-in record keeping system for all its [good or bad] activities. Allah has perfected this arrangement for the purpose of accountability. On that occasion, He shall remind every one of even those insignificant actions, which had slipped out of one’s mind and Allah shall be a witness to those proceedings, ensuring accuracy down to miniscule details.’[58:6]

According to the Qur’an, the term Shaheed is an exclusive attribute of Allah, as a Witness. This definition is, therefore, not meant to identify any one else, except Allah. Incidentally, the last revelation does not qualify a martyr as Shaheed, though one might have fallen, in a battlefield, fighting for the cause of Al-Deen.]

26- ‘There is no guidance for Fasqeen, Zalmeen and Kafreen in Allah’s commandments.’ [61:5, 7 and 8]

27- ‘There is no sovereign, in this universe, except Allah and His code or constitution presented by the Qur’an uplifts and differentiates humans from the animal stratum.’[95:8]

28- ‘Allah’s laws protect and support Sabreen, who besides being generous, exhibited the following qualities during the on going struggle for the establishment of the divine social order.’[2:153]

· Persevered, and remained steadfast during the time of extraordinary upheaval and turmoil.

The word Saber does not define a state of helplessness, as the Muslim clergy has generally understood and propagated the same meanings to the Ummah. This is a very pessimistic view of this term, which is not permissible under the definitions enumerated above. In fact, if one loses the will to help oneself in the time of trouble, then no one can help such a person. That is called a lost case, but such a person is not Saber. On the contrary, such a person personifies the defeatist mentality, which throws in the towel, even before stepping into the ring.

29- ‘Allah’s accountability system is very just and makes sure that every one is judged fairly, without any disparity and speaking metaphorically, even a micro bit of injustice is not done to any one.’[4:40]

30- ‘If you get life-giving help from any one, you must pay it back in an equivalent manner, if not over and above, what you received! Surely, Allah maintains detailed account of all that happens, because He is incomparable in this area of expertise.’[4:86]

31- ‘The Sunnah of Allah or His code* describes this reality in unambiguous terms, that Allah does not initiate alteration in any one’s situation or circumstances, unless one does not take initiative to revolutionize one’s own life-force. Allah has the best system in place, because of his infinite knowledge, to monitor, whether the basic thinking of an individual or a nation has registered any change or not. [8:53]

*[Sunnah of Mohammad or Sunnat-e-Rasool is a misnomer as per the terminology of the Qur’an. Islamic priesthood coined these un-Islamic terms to misguide the Arabic illiterate Muslims.]

32-‘Allah knows every secret plan the domineering powers hatch out against the weak and the oppressed nations. He is fully cognizant of the hidden maneuvers being made to rip off the have-nots.’[9:78]

33-‘Allah’s laws, fully operative in a social setup, not only eliminate ill effects of the destructive forces that create hurdles in the evolution of adequate nourishment program, but also strengthen requisite resources required for its promotion. The Qur’an does not endorse the concept of mercy, forgiveness, or salvation, which constitute the basic pillars of the Christian faith.’[22:65]

34-‘The laws of Allah openly declare, that consequences of every action would definitely materialize, after the lapse of a specific period of time, and only Allah knows the exact duration of that time slot. For instance, the downpour does not start just out of the blue; it takes certain amount of time for building up to that effect. Similarly, Allah knows the stages, through which a fetus passes to take the shape of a baby, in a mother’s womb. Certainly, you can also develop ways and means in the fields of Meteorology and Embryology to do exactly that. However, there are two events about which no one has any knowledge, except Allah; firstly, what the future has in store for you, or even what is going to happen the very next day, and secondly, when and where a person is going to breathe his last. Surely, Allah possesses the complete knowledge of what is going to happen and what future holds for you. [31:34]

He also knows, when Mohammad and his companions are going to be successful in their efforts to revolutionize the existing society into a real peaceful one. The process of death is a built-in blessing; otherwise billions upon trillions of people suffering from incurable diseases would have made this planet sick to the core. Similarly, every one having no clue about the day and time of one’s death, together with total ignorance about, what is going to unfold the very next day, are wonderful gifts. How miserable the people would have felt, if every one had known exactly, when the end would be coming. It would have been like counting one’s days to the grave. Likewise, if the people would have known, what is going to happen every day of their life on earth, they would simply had gone out of their minds, either with grief or happiness.’

35- ‘Allah keeps on adding to His creation according to His, on going, evolutionary program, as He is the architect of all that exists within the universe. He is worthy of all admiration because He created the entire universe just out of void, and has all sorts of forces at His command to complete His divine plan. These communicative mediums and other naturally occurring energy packs are multi-functional. They watch, guide and control the evolutionary stages the whole cosmos is passing through, in accordance with Allah’s predestined plan of action. Since the creation of all that exists, He does not have an idle moment, as He continues to add new objects and dimensions to what already exists, in line with His predetermined plan. He has devised procedures, limitations and corridors of action for every mini and mega entity and has absolute control over animate and inanimate beings and bodies.’[35:1]

36-‘If a nation, after implementing the divine social order, deviates from the given line of action, or breaks away from the center of the movement [just like the existing Muslim Ummah], then according to Allah’s laws, punishment in the form of internal disruption, social disintegration and humiliation within the comity of nations, becomes its destiny.’ [2:61]

The current Muslims all over the world, irrespective of their place of residence, whether in the West or the East, are facing constant disgrace, as a whole. This is because of the reason that they have adopted other political systems, ditching the constitution of the Qur’an, for the last millennium. Additionally, they have joined U.N.O., which is nothing more than a whore of the American and Western powers, and have forgotten all about Ka’bah, which, as per Allah’s command, should be the center of a unified Muslim Ummah.

37- ‘The best type of administration, as per the commandments of Allah, is Al- Islam [neither the monarchy of Saudi Arabia, nor the current governments of the Muslim countries, including oppressive theocracy of Iran.] The divine social order or Al-Islam, when implemented in a given community, produces the following positive changes.’[3:19]

· Unity among the people improves internal safety and security, which in turn puts an end to threats of outside aggression.

· Every one gets an equal opportunity to move forward and change one’s life for the better, with sky being the limit.

· Changes a permissive society, suffering from moral degradation, into a bastion of decency.

· The men and women belonging to such a happy and care free social setup look equally handsome and beautiful.

The people practicing Allah’s Al-Islam are the real Muslimeen and Muslamoon.

38- ‘Jesus had a natural and normal birth like all other human beings. Life began with the interaction of inanimate elements, and then passing through innumerable evolutionary stages, resulted into the formation of the human beings. This truth originates with Allah and there is no room for doubt or skepticism in this matter. He created the cosmos and possesses unlimited power; He, therefore, does not require a son to lend Him a helping hand in the operation and maintenance of His ongoing evolutionary progression.’ [3:59]

39- ‘Only, Allah’s laws govern this universe and because of His Universal laws, every body and being are busy in the fulfillment of their predestined goals [except the human beings].’[3:109]

40- ‘A nation, which establishes a government, in accordance with the constitution provided by Allah in the Qur’an, and generates exceptional improvements in all walks of life, lives happily ever after. Such a society enjoys the bliss of a paradise on earth, which has no fear [of outside aggression], and no worry [due to internal instability, leading to civil unrest].’ [5:69]

The Muslim priesthood, however, follows a policy diametrically opposite to the above verse [5:69]. They regularly and continuously terrorize the simpleminded, straightforward, but Arabic illiterate Muslims in their every day sermons, with the unnecessary horror of Allah, dread of hell, torture of grave, fright of doomsday, worry of death, and so many others. They have snatched away the liberty of freethinking from their people, destroying their inherent potentials and capabilities, which has stymied their intellectual development, together with messing up the chances of steady progress, in all fields of human activity, over the last millennium.’

41- ‘Justice must be available to every one immediately, and free of cost. The international disputes should be settled according to Allah’s Book. Allah’s laws provide the best criteria, to differentiate between the truth and the falsehood.’[6:57]

42- ‘As per Allah’s decision, His worst creation are the people, who do not utilize their innate faculties of hearing, vision, speech, and on top of that simply refuse to understand the stark reality.’[8:22, 7:179, 2:18, 8:55]

‘ 44- ‘Same laws of Allah were bestowed upon those, who lived and passed away before your time, and you shall never find any change in Allah’s code.’ [33:62]

What an unwavering assurance Allah has provided about His existence to the transient humans.

45- Allah reassures again, ‘Even you shall not come across any amendments appearing in our laws.’ [35:43]

46- ‘The best and the most honorable, or the noblest amongst you, as per the evaluation of Allah, is the one,’[49:13]

· Who constantly struggles to establish a government in line with the divine social order?

‘Certainly, Allah has complete knowledge of your activities, due to His elaborate system of record keeping. The built-in system installed in your consciousness, keeps a tab on your thoughts and the activities you do, as a result of your mental preparation and planning. This all has been arranged for the accountability purpose for each one of you.’

47- ‘All treasures preserved on the Earth and innumerable others planets, throughout the entire cosmos, belong to Allah. [63:7]

We are responsible to keep these means of nourishment available for all kinds of life forms, wherever they exist, within the space-time continuum. [2:29]

48- ‘Allah’s evolutionary progression [which is continuously on the move throughout the cosmos], always has a very humble start. Infinitesimally small entities at the very beginning, take up distinct and discernable shapes and forms. This is true both in the animate and inanimate worlds. [70:3].

A particular stage of the evolution cycle, may be spread over millions of years.’[70:4; 32:5; 35:10; 78:38; 97:4]

49- ‘Certainly, mosques are built to house the administrative staff of the Islamic state for meeting day to day challenges, head on. It also acts as an assembly hall for the government officials, and the community leaders to come together, for finding solutions to any problems impeding the smooth operation of the divine social order. In the houses of Allah, the sovereignty of His rules and regulations reigns supreme. In view of that fact, nothing else carries any significance at all.’ * [72:18]

* The concept of sectarian mosques like Shi’ah, Sunni and of other denominations are totally against the tenets of the Qur’an. These are offices of an Islamic government, housing various functionaries, to work at the grass root level for the state. It is ridiculous to hold any elections in such premises, for electing some kind of a governing body to run its affairs. Under such circumstances, the mosque loses its status as the house of Allah and is reduced to the category of any other common abode. The current functions like holding five daily prayers, calling people for that purpose, or arranging other ‘religious’ functions in the form of Darood-o-Salam have nothing to do with the principles of the Qur’an. All these fallacious and deceptive practices were introduced by the Islamic priesthood of Iran, to destroy the Al-Deen established by Mohammad, and his steadfast companions in the Arabian Peninsula.

The word Allah appears almost 2000 times in various Surah’s of the Qur’an, expressing myriad of His various attributes, quite forcefully. Besides mentioning Him by name, the Qur’an has also used a number of powerful adjectives to identify Him, as per the requirement of the text. Some of these are:

Tibri has done grave injustice to Allah, by only mentioning His 99 attributes, along with the comments that there aren’t any more. He could have turned them into an even number by adding at least one, which he could easily find in Allah’s last revelation.

The verses of the Qur’an presented above, portray quite a vivid perception of Allah, which the earthlings can easily understand, especially from the practical viewpoint. It is not necessary for the humans to find in great detail, what He looks like and how he works. Many mythical religions have created their own gods from stone and porcelain and it might be enough to satisfy the internal urge of their manufacturers. However, all their gods look like humans. It means they have created gods for themselves in their own image.

Here Nietzsche’s philosophy comes handy. He says, “ If you want to solve your earthly problems associated with God, then create one for yourself.” Perhaps, that sounds right to some people, but this seems to be a ridiculous suggestion. The problem is that imperfect human beings cannot produce a perfect god. Though it is right the other way.

Anyways, it does not seem appropriate to delve into the whole discussion about the creation of god. The people have already presented their views that have been commented upon in the first part of this dissertation.

It would, however, be appreciated if both believers and non-believers be generous enough to give us the appropriate feed back, about the point of view that has been expressed here in the light of the Qur’anic verses and their accurate and rational translations. The current form of Islam or the Muslim society has no resemblance, whatsoever, with the government established on the basis of Al-Deen, which remained in practice for about 60/ 70 years, after the death of Mohammad. The rest of the thirteen centuries had witnessed an antithesis of that period. The priesthood, which the Qur’an rejects vehemently, is established on a very firm footing, and at this moment not a single Muslim has the courage to reject it out right.

There is no shame to admit that the Iranian conspirators strangulated the real Islam during the Abbasid rule [extending over 500 years]. They systematically destroyed the excellent scripts and documents written by the proud Arab authors, during and after the time and life of the last Messenger of Allah, giving an in-depth account of the Al-Deen in real action. Not a single book of an Arab author is available anywhere in the world, published during three centuries after the demise of Mohammad.

All that is left are the writings of the staunch enemies of Allah, Mohammad and the Qur’an, originating from Iran, the land of Muzdaq and the Zoroastrians.

Last but not the least, birth of a person in a Muslim family does not make that individual an ipso facto follower of Al-Deen. Every one, when grown up, has a right to accept or reject the Qur’an, as one’s way of living in this world, after studying it thoroughly. Moreover, Allah does not like to have a vast swarm of Muslims just out of lineage. Unless every person does not accept it out of its own free will, and without any outside coercion [which Mullah hegemony exerts to its utmost], there is no point in calling oneself a Muslim.

It gives me pleasure to be here before you to present a different kind of debate -- a rather open minded forum, to discuss some of the sensitive topics of the religion of Islam. Interfaith dialogues and deliberations is a rather common trend and occurrence these days. While it is all very well to discuss and learn about other religions and faiths and interact with them to promote goodwill, it is far more essential to discuss and understand one’s own faith first. It is imperative to grasp the meaning of various shades of opinion in Islam before one can begin to appreciate the differences and commonalities within it and other religions, and to better appreciate the reasons for them. After practice of a number of years every religion tends to branch out and diversify in a variety of sects and traditions. So has it been with Islam. The basis or origination of a religion is usually a single source. Various off shoots are but an outcome of its aging, and the seeing and understanding its basic principles from different angles and from different points of view.

Up until now it was quite possible for people to maintain rather isolated, watertight compartments, which could exist in a world of their own. The present trend of globalization has made this kind of survival quite difficult. One now lives in a world of information explosion, and out of sheer necessity for survival has to grapple with all sorts of ideas. It is, now, not only desirable, but also necessary to know, examine and appreciate other’s point of view. For only then can one truly examine one’s own beliefs and see if they are viable in the present world order. We have to give an open-minded hearing even to the reasoning of the preacher and then form our own opinions as to their sensibility and acceptance, as ‘ there is no compulsion in matter of faith’.

In an intellectual debate it is important to see what is being said rather than how it is being said. Take the case of Salman Rushdie’s ‘ Satanic verses’, where the orthodoxy took more offence, perhaps, at the way he said whatever he said than what he actually said. For had that not been the case an intellectual debate would have ensued rather than a ‘ fatwa’. That was in some ways a narrow minded approach to the matter and the subject as a whole.

For today’s debate we have invited three experts of the Qur’an, each from a different school of thought, and each with his own point of view. We have received some questions from our pool of members which will be put in turn to each of the experts for his response. Each of the panel members will have the same amount of time for answering the question. If the time is considered to be inadequate for a detailed reply the expert can answer it in detail in Web postings of the seminar. A further discussion and debate can be conducted on the computer. After the selected questions have been answered and time permitting we will invite questions from the audience. You are all requested to please bear with patience and let the panel member express his opinion freely even if it maynot be to your taste and liking. This seminar is a attempt at this kind of a debate and if we can hold it successfully you will continue to witness similar exercises in the future.

I will now give a brief introduction of each panel member as I invite him to take his seat on the stage.
