first of all, i want to say, ALHAMDUILLAH, all strength is from the spirit, and we can tangibly experience how this governs our discussion as it is the government of all things.

What do you mean by The Spirit? Shall I take the dictionary meaning or do you have a specific definition for it.. pls enlighten me..
https://free-minds.org/forum/index.php?msg=444468 <--like to post #3 above, where I defined the spirit as consciousness based on a thorough examination of the scriptures. also see post 6 above for further elaboration (
https://free-minds.org/forum/index.php?msg=444474).
Quoteafter explaining the above...
Pls translate the below verse for info
La Ilaha Illa Quawa
La Ilaha Illa Ana
Thank you brother/sister.. 
Did you want me to translate this to you, or from you? Google brought me here:
https://myislam.org/allahu-la-ilaha-illa-huwal-hayyul-qayyum/ where it is said to mean "Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence." I feel that fits with my contributions from the above posts, that Allah is associated with life, and living, and existence -- as consciousness also is, and that is my definition of spirit from earlier in the thread. as for '-illa ana', from (
https://surahquran.com/transliteration-aya-14-sora-20.html) indeed it is true, Allah is most high, and worship of anything else is wrong. As I posted earlier, I could prove the worship of anything else is wrong when ALLAH (THE SPIRIT) is defined as consciousness. To seek help from sources other than consciousness (knowledge, watchfulness, etc) will not always or even usually result in the best outcome, and less than the best outcome is not worthy of worship when the best outcome is available to all through ALLAH.
