"...O people of the Scripture, let
us come to a common agreement between us and between you; that
1)
we do not serve except God, and 2) do not set up anything at all
with Him,
and 3) that none of us takes each other as patrons besides
God...." (The Message 3:64)
This website has been created for all people who
have a desire to allow God into their lives and follow His path
alone...
This website invites all people
of various beliefs (Sunni, Shia, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist,
Hindu, Bahai,
Agnostic, Humanist, and even Atheists) to come and examine for themselves
the system of Submission/Islam which is based on God Alone.
Many of you may outwardly be content with your
current faith or that which you inherited from your parents and
community...but to some out there, there will always be a tugging
at the back of their mind that 'there is something more', and that
'some things don't always make sense'...
If you are one of those people, then open your
eyes, put on your thinking cap, and welcome to an open examination
of the system of Submission/Islam which very few know about...
WHAT IS Islam?
The system of God "Islam/Submission" has been taught to us through God and
His messenger and is fully outlined in the final Book of God (The
Qur'an) which was
revealed centuries ago...
The Qur'an claims legitimacy for itself and within
itself, allowing NO room for self-made priests, or religious
leaders, who have distorted and misquoted the Book of God to give
themselves authority and partnership with the Almighty...
“'Shall I seek other
than God as a judge when He has sent down to you this
Scripture fully detailed?'” Those to whom We have given
the Scripture know it is sent down from your Lord with truth;
so do not be of those who have doubt." (The Message 6:114 )
"Say: 'Which is the
greatest testimony?' Say: 'God is witness between me and you,
and He has inspired to me this Qur'an that I may warn
you with it and whomever it reaches, that you bear witness
that along with God are other gods!' Say: 'I do not bear
witness!' Say: 'He is only One god, and I am innocent of what
you set up!'” (The Message 6:19)
"And We have come
to them with a Scripture which We have detailed with
knowledge; a guide and a mercy to those who believe." (The
Message 7:52)
"We have revealed to
you the Scripture with truth that you may judge between
the people by that which God has shown you, and do not be an
advocate for the treacherous. " (The Message
4:105)
"And the Day We send
to every nation a witness against them from themselves, and We
have brought you as a witness against these. And We have sent
down to you the Scripture as a clarification for all things,
and a guide and mercy and good tidings to those who have
surrendered." (The Message 16:89)
"And We have sent
down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is
present of the Scripture and superseding it. So judge
between them by what God has sent down, and do not follow
their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each
of you We have made laws, and a structure; and had God willed,
He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with
what He has given you; so strive to do good. To God you will
return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in
which you dispute." (The Message 5:48)
What about Obeying the Messenger?
The gravest crime the self-appointed scholars who
claimed to be Muslim made was to give authority to the traditions
(Sunna) and the books of Sayings (Hadith) ALONGSIDE the authority
of God and His messenger. They believe that it was God who authorized
such action by commanding the people to ‘obey God, and obey
the messenger’…
"Whoever obeys the
messenger has obeyed God; and whoever turns away, We have not sent
you as a guardian over them." (The Message 4:80)
What is so sadly neglected
is that the most critical aspects of the messenger’s life
have been recorded and captured in the most detailed manner…not
in the books of Hadith or tradition…but in the Holy Book itself.
The questions that he was asked, and the answers (inspired by God)
that he gave:
"They ask you about
intoxicants and gambling. Say: 'In them is great harm, and a benefit
for mankind; but their harm is greater than their benefit.' And they
ask you how much are they to give, Say: 'The excess.' It is thus
that God clarifies for you the revelations that you may think." (The
Message 2:219)
"And they ask you
concerning the Spirit. Say: 'The Spirit is from the command on my
Lord, and the knowledge you were given was but very little.'" (The
Message 17:85)
The list of questions and
answers goes on throughout the Book of God…This is the life
of the Messenger, and this is the ‘obedience’ of the
messenger…Without ‘obeying the messenger’, we
would inadvertently ignore nearly 1/3 of the Book of God which deals
with his most authentic narrations authorized and inspired by God
which we have been commanded to follow…
“Nor does he
speak from personal desire. It is a divine inspiration." (The
Message 53:3-4)
What is Difference between
Islam and Today's PRACTICES?
In comparing the teachings of Islam as derived
from the Book of God to the practices taught and enforced by the
popular Sunni and Shia faiths (1.2 Bn followers), we find that the
list is quite extensive, with some of the highlights as follows:
-
In Islam, the requirement to be a Muslim is to
simply accept and live according to the ‘Straight
Path’ (6:151-153), Vs. the Sunni or Shia 5-pillars
which come from unauthorized books…
-
In Islam, abolishing
Slavery
is taught to be an act of righteousness (90:12-13), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings which encourages slavery under war…
-
In Islam, women are never forbidden from
praying or fasting during
Menstruation
(2:222), nor is there a specific dress code (i.e. the
Headscarf)
imposed on them beyond modesty, Vs. the Sunni and Shia which
teach the undermining of women and forcing them to cover
their hair and avoid praying or fasting at certain times...
-
In Islam, a man or women may leave a Will,
after settlement of debt (4:12), Vs. Sunnis who refuse to
accept wills if there are any direct descendants...
-
In Islam, Monogamy
is the basis for normal relationships, while polygamy is
only allowed in cases involving marrying the mothers of
orphans under the man’s guardianship (4:3), Vs. Sunnis where
a man may be a polygamist simply if he can afford to, and Shia which allow sex for pleasure (Mut’a)...
-
In Islam, Divorce
is enforceable only after a two-phase period, and
it may be made nullified if the couple reconcile before
the end of this period (65:1, 65:4), Vs. Sunni teachings
that destroy families by allowing a divorce to occur on
the spot with no waiting period and no nullification...
-
In Islam, Thieves
do not have their hands cut-off, but are made to work
until they return that which is stolen (12:76), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings which brutally amputate the hands causing
disability...
-
In Islam, no one is allowed to be killed or Stoned
for adultery (24:2), Vs. Sunni and Shia laws of stoning married
adulterers to death...
-
In Islam, absolute Freedom
of Faith is allowed (2:256, 10:99; 18:29; 88:21-22),
Vs. Sunni and Shia requiring apostates to be killed and
rejecting the practice of other faiths...
-
In Islam, people are acknowledged as being diverse
and each is to be respected for his/her level of spiritual
growth. A Submitter ‘Muslim’ must work to attain
the status of Faithful ‘Mumin’
(49:14), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings that all followers
of their religion must think, act, and even look the same
(cult syndrome)...
-
In Islam, War
can only be declared in cases of self-defence - no offensives
(2:190), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings allowing raids and
attacks on any people who are considered non-Muslim by their
standards...
-
In Islam, Pilgrimage
is a centre for gathering of nations and for all to witness
the benefits of being together (22:27-28), Vs. Sunni and Shia bringing in polytheistic rituals and superstition (touching
of black stone, circling 7 times, etc..)...
-
In Islam, a Year
is a luni-solar count made of 365-days (17:12, 9:36), with
all the seasons fitting-in-place Vs. Sunnis teaching it
to be a lunar one based on 354 days which creates confusion
of seasons and time…
-
In Islam, males and females are not required
to be Circumcised
(32:7), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings requiring all males
to be circumcised and females in some cases...
-
In Islam, music, statues, gold and silk are all
Lawful (7:32-33, 16:116), Vs. Sunni beliefs forbidding silk &
gold for men, and forbidding music & statues for all...
-
In Islam, rule of Government
is under the constitution of the Qur'an through
consultation and free-speech
(5:48, 42:38). Vs. Sunni teachings which allow the rise of dictators
or monarchs, and Shia teachings which uphold self-appointed
religious leaders based on genealogy.
Therefore, the clearest difference is that Islam
is a monotheistic, clear, consistent, dynamic, progressive, balanced
system...a system that eliminates conjectures, hearsay, fairy tales
and contradictions...therefore it eliminates hardship, confusion,
chaos, and division. It is a system which puts more accent on the
usage of intellect, reason, pondering over God, His Creation, meaning
of life, pondering over everything...While the sects represent superstition,
unfair treatment for non-cult members, inequality of the sexes,
oppression of human rights, inability to contribute to human progress,
amputations or physical violence, regression of ideas and thoughts
to primitive levels of barbarism, and most importantly setting-up
partners with the One True God and thus promoting polytheism.
God Alone
For the Sunnis and Shia who
are shocked by the words they have been reading, we invite you to
seek God Alone with your heart and your mind and to give-up all
the previous wasted years of idolatry and polytheism that you have
unknowingly been party to...For our Lord tells us that it is never
too late to seek His forgiveness:
"Say: 'O My servants who
transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God's mercy. For
God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.'" (The
Message 39:53)
But be warned,
while only God knows the fate of an individual, by simply turning away without verifying what has been said
here can bring the gravest of consequences:
"And who is more wicked
than one who is reminded of his Lord’s verses but he turned away
from them, and he forgot what his hands had done. We have made veils
upon their hearts from understanding them, and a deafness in their
ears. And if you invite them to the guidance, they will never be
guided." (The Message 18:57)
Now ask yourself: Will God
Alone be enough for you?
"And when God
Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe
in the Hereafter are filled with aversion; and when others are
mentioned beside Him, they rejoice!" (The Message 39:45)
Why is Islam for me?
This is what it all boils
down to, a "what's in it for me" outlook that is very
human and very natural...Well, the answers that may sway you to
'God Alone' and let you abandon your current faith, whatever the
costs may be, are as follows...
"And if the town’s people
had only believed and been aware, then We would have opened for them
blessings from the sky and the land; but they denied, so We took
them for what they used to earn." (The Message
7:96)
-
Islam guarantees victory (30:47, 22:38-39, 47-7).
-
Islam guarantees
prosperity and abundance (7:96,
41:30-31).
-
Islam guarantees maximum freedom for the people
- freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom to travel,
and freedom of economy (2:256, 10:99, 88:21-22).
-
Islam guarantees human rights for all the people,
regardless of their race, color, creed, social status, financial
situation, or political affiliation (5:8, 49:13).
-
Islam guarantees a political system that is based
on consultation and the freedom for open expression (42:38).
-
Islam guarantees a
society that upholds and maintains the highest standards of moral
behavior.
-
Islam guarantees a
maximum regard for people's lives and properties.
-
Islam guarantees prevalence of love, courtesy,
peace, and mutual respect among the people, and with other world communities (3:110, 60:8-9).
-
Islam guarantees environmental protection as
a result of deterring pollution through conservation and prohibition
of wasteful practices (30:41).
If you are convinced that a dignified, prosperous,
righteous, logical, and practical way of life is your desire,
then Islam is for you. You can begin to change your life immediately
by putting-aside all that you have been raised to believe
in and objectively taking a fresh-start by reading-up on the
topics we discussed and many more in the words of God in
His
Book, and discover for yourself with no prejudice or interference.
"That is because God was
not to change anything He bestowed to a people, unless they change
what is in themselves. God is Hearer, Knowledgeable." (The Message 8:53)
