Life-centered explanation of Islam

[seven_doubled]

Salam 3alaikoum,

I am a Muslim who wrote a book describing Islam using a life-centered approach. An executive summary is presented below. The link to the full book is provided as well. Even though this book is a work in progress, I believe it currently explain the entire religion in an adequate and structured way.

Explaining a religion is a tricky exercise.  There are usually three approaches:
•    The first is to simply tell its underlying stories (life of the Prophets/key persons, remarkable events and how they have been addressed...). With this approach, it is hard to know how to apply the religion to us.
•    The second is to list rules after rules. But little is given on the origin, goal, and justification of these rules.
•    The third is to focus on a single topic, gathering all the content from the religious sources and attempting a correct summarization. However, it is hard to get an overall view, especially with such a complex life. The match between two books will also not be straightforward.

              This book attempts to define a clear life model at first, then project all the religious content into that structure. In addition to the overall view, it introduces an attempt to make sense of nature: animals, plants, and space bodies ... They have not received a comprehensive interpretation so far, despite being mentioned at hundreds of occasions in the religious sources.

I look forward to reviewing your comments or private mail responses.

Executive Summary:
              This book aims at providing an overall understanding of Islam through a life-centered approach, the Seven Skies (or seven mighty skies- s78v12), where a sky is a range of information. The 1st sky is a complete "apparent" life model, the other skies are described projected into it:

Sky 1: Apparent life – Description of the base life model: Pursuing life's pleasures, avoiding its pains, using our capacities, through inherited or constructed beliefs, while anticipating life's base behaviors and making more or less use of nature's resources. The beliefs are constructed from a foundational block: the Ayat ("sign").

Sky 2: Messengers and messages – Evolution of humans, Prophets and religions. In particular, rebutting any claim of religious flaw through the design of the human race across generations and through a tested communication of a relevant religious message, from a given person to a target audience.

Sky 3: Religious Ayats – Convincing oneself or a person of the veracity of the religion. Islam provides a various set of strong ayats among which exceptional events, unobservable truths, future predictions, and a direct feeling of a God's presence.

Sky 4: Ni3ma purification – In Islam, rituals are aligned with received benefits (Ni3mas), thus called "Ni3ma purification".  The alignment is in the nature of actions, in the variability, in the modality, in the associativity and the complexity of the ni3mas. Among them, the 5 pillars of Islam are the compulsory foundation. This sky represents half the religion on its own.

Sky 5: the Book – To go further in religion, the awareness of languages and writing, or in more general terms the information layer on top of real life, is key. Their various values are an external memory, a flexible mean of communication, a recognized skill, a force of representation and a source of reality distortion. The Quran, that makes the best use of them, is the foundational book for religious support.

Sky 6: Hikma – Facing a complex and variable world, Muslims must avoid hurting others or exposing itself to religiously dangerous situations. To do that, a solid (written) characterization of actions, stakeholders and religious limits, followed by a complex and iterative problem-solving process, are the base methodologies. The life-comprehensive law of equality (Qissas) allows a meaningful correction of any offence that arises.

Sky 7: Raib – The world has been created to test humans, yet most of it is made up of two creations: nature and invisible agents (Angels and Jinns). They are actually a quantified physical manifestation of some of what is hidden within the human souls: his attachment to actions by plants, his intents by animals, his thoughts by microorganisms, his base behaviors by Angels/ Jinns. The world itself is the external contribution of people to other people: the sky for information, among which the Seven Skies themselves, etc. This section is still under deep research, but solid clues are introduced.

Allah: Above the Seven Skies lies Allah, the only Unique entity, deciding on all events, prevailing over the entire life model, and showing it through some of the capacities that He allowed some human servants to use.

Through these steps, we show how the religion technically covers everything in life, a complete religion.

Perhaps you can tell us how your book/explanation factors in a Quran based islam?

The Quran gives the general structure, a full coverage of the important examples and the main generalization rationales:

-   The Quran gives the general structure  in s2v151 that says:َ
"Since We have sent you a messenger from among yourselves—reciting to you Our Ayats, purifying
you, teaching you the Book and Hikma, and teaching you what you never knew"
In this verse,  you can recognize the section 2 to 6 (Messenger, Ayats, Purification, Book, Hikma and Raib). The apparent of section 1 is left to you do discover by "travelling the land", after all it is apparent.

-   As covered in section 5 (the Book), the Quran mentions the most important elements of the overall life (World & Afterlife): the key CAPPAYs (Capacities, Pleasures and Pains, Ayats), the key positioning of agents (believer, non-believers, hypocrites, Angels/Jinns, ...), the references to the whole religion (7 sections, Evil, Afterlife and Allah) and key natural entities/events.
Verses are referenced throughout all the book.

-   Finally, the Quran is always mentioning the key general principles guiding each section. The effort of abstraction is usually the hardest when trying to understand a philosophy. Here, the Quran gives the answers.
o   the law of equality (Qissa): you get of what you acquired,
o   the alignment between purification and benefits: you give of what you got
o   Among Allah's goal is to show what is hidden: this drives the interpretation of nature
o   ...
