If "Only Allah", then "Allah Alone" is our watchword

[drfazl]

All good things happen from Allah alone but all bad things befall us only from what our own hands have wrought. Our planning for the future, our activities and work are based essentially upon the limited knowledge we have experienced through our physical sensations and upon our abilities based on it and put in our efforts with brute tolerance. With all these rudimentary efforts we set our eyes upon ultimately the money, our only goal.

There is another ability within every individual, 'the power of the soul' in the heart of hearts by which we wish for or mindfully and prayerfully reflect upon every subjective feeling placed in it as the 'need of the hour'. For example, the need of the hour is that we shall not suffer from any evil whatsoever from diseases to poverty; nor suffer from servitude; nor ourselves becoming aggressive and atrocious against the common man. There are these subjective warnings in our hearts that: we shall not lie; backbite; dishonor the word given to; nor suspect; nor be proud; never rejoice over what you have gained materially; nor shall you grieve over what have lost from you; never fear nor worry for by all odds your savior is God.

He created for us the heavens and the earth and made them subservient to us so that we perch upon the Arsh, by His Leave. Until such time you gain it, He rules the roost; He blesses us just not the skies and the earth but His word is that He would make us inherit even the heavens of the world after! To be a believer of this order - we cannot believe in the knowledge of the physical sensations, experiences, explorations of the objective celestial bodies; and shun from our hearts the men, matters and materials as our needs.

God has created us as individuals looking up to Him with gratitude, in every breath of us. It is mandatory on us for us to believe and live as an individual and return unto Him on the hour determined for us, all alone, in the way He created us. If Allah alone is our creator, He alone is the nourisher, the sustainer, the savior, the enricher and the designer of our future - then only Allah and none else besides Him. This is the life of 'no - association - to - God'. These are the believers, the victorious in this world and in the world after.

If 'Allah alone suffices us' is our Oath, we shall not visit doctors at all in our lives for if we do so it amounts to association to many of Allah's Names: The Curer, The Protector, The Sustainer, The Helper, The Purifier, The Healer, The Almighty, The Wise, The Nourisher, The Forgiver, The One Who brings the Life from the Dead, The Seer of our suffering, The Hearer of our prayers, The Knower of all things, The Reliever, The Peace giver, The Patient, The Closest....

Whoever do lip services to Allah saying openly the following:

1. "Allah is One" for all our needs;
2. "Allah is needless" of our possessions;
3. "Allah did not receive" from you anything for all that He does for you; nor by the leave of
    "Allah have you received any good."
4. "And there is none and nothing equivalent to Him" to deliver your needs for all time to come.

But do not follow the above in real time, they are the most hateful people in the eyes of Allah for they say to others what they do not do themselves.

Shun the Jama'at if we fear 'The Day of Judgement'

Allah created us singly and we have to lead our lives by the Guidance within and each shall live as a discrete individual and then we are to return unto him singly in the way we were created and delivered into this universal noumenon. We will be questioned and judged individually and not as groups or jama'ats, the individuals of which are dependent on each other. The individuals belong to any group with their collective living feel independent of God himself. This is crime enough to be thrown into hell en masse. We cease to be an element of any group or member of a band of collective people, say, Jama'ats.

To make an uncultivable land fertile and rich in natural produce
To wipe out famine by God's grace...

The hardened rejecters and the hypocrites say, "We ploughed, seeded, watered and cultivated the land; and thus we brought forth the produce." 

If we ask these boastful rejecters to produce the vegetations and prove their claim in the famine hit parched land under the ever scorching sun where the weather has become dry hot and where the air is still without movement, what would be their say? And the land was dead long ago and the peasants and the people have already fled far away as there was not a single living thing on the earth. Now their answer would be 'how is it possible without water, air and breeze?' Then what is that they are boasting about in the land which is fertile by itself and while all its life force embracing it from all around by God's Will and Command? If only this pride is not there with the people, but are humble and grateful for what they eat of a fertile land, God would have provided them with plentiful fruits-bearing trees of innumerable varieties; and would have gushed forth springs from the earth and caused clear rivers of water to flow with its unchangeable sweetness; and with that there could have been rivers of all the fruits from those fruits-blearing trees.

To all the famine hit people, God's glad tiding is this: only if you 'wish for the fruit-bearing trees', the land would become fertile with its gushing waters and flowing rivers from underneath. We know there are some trees such as the teak trees which would sap up the ground water, but until we read the following verses we never knew that the fruit bearing trees would necessarily bring water springs. And nobody would starve on this earth without food if only there are no educated, resourceless, proud and boastful, rejecting, hypocritical agriculturists.

"A Sign for the boastful agriculturists is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat;"

"And We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth in those fruit bearing gardens:"

"That the people may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?"

Giving thanks to God here is letting the people and the inhabitants and the passersby eat of the fruits of God's gardens without hoarding it and selling it for money. If they abide by this decree, they will be watered more and more; and splendorous gardens would further expand for God accepts the deeds of the humble and grateful who guard and ward off all human ways of living.

A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their guard are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord.

We should turn towards Allah in our prayer; Allah says east and west belong to Allah and to whichever direction you turn, there is Allah's guidance. If this is true, every mosque built in the direction of the Black Stone is irreligiously opposed to Allah's direction. Anyone who enters the mosque for prayers earns the wrath of Allah.

Unto Allah belong the East and the West, and whithersoever ye turn, there is Allah's Countenance. Lo! Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

How close do we feel Allah is with us?

Allah says HE is with those who Fear Him; those who are Patient; and those who do good deeds. The question now is when Allah is with us why should anybody go to mosque or where, of a sudden, do we turn to in our prayer? And while we go to pray do we take Allah also along to pray?

"Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. You reminisce nothing."

When you take up Quran there should be none between you and Allah; this is the time for revelation from either directly by Allah; or through the Angel Gibreel who are kept veiled to your eyes; or through a messenger from among your brethren who would keep coming till the end of the world to every linguistic people and to every capital city and town whom you should identify as doubtlessly as your household. Unless you have clear revelation to any single ayat of Quran directly from Allah; or through a veiled messenger, who are invisible to your naked eye, it is that you would be tragically looking down upon and dismiss the human messenger sent to you from amongst you.

So follow that which is revealed to your heart from your Ruh when you read an ayat for guidance; since this revelation is from your own self, it is easy for you to follow in your day to day life. If you buy the utterances of the people as guidance it is impossible to follow in your life-time any single part of any one ayat of Quran.

We are forbidden to have any business with the idolaters 9:1

Allah and His messenger have deserted us for having deals, promises and business with those who associate partners to and worship besides The Only God.

Can we believe we have any business with God anymore when we stick to our business deals with such people when Allah and His messenger have broken away from them and the likes of them? Do we have any prayers with Allah after this concerning our businesses? Is it not true then that our prayers will not be answered at any cost? We have no Allah and no messenger whatever be our cry that we are muslims.

[drfazl]

May any one be chosen to the rank of the messengers?

Allah says as believers, none shall be of the view that they are not in a position to receive the Message and the Guidance of Allah, directly as Revelation, if He is pleased with our sincerity in seeking Him.

That the People of the Scripture may know that they have no guidance to the grace of Allah, but that the grace is in Allah's hand to give to whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Grace - Sura Al Hadid, Revelation 29.

What are your suggestions to this?

I'd just like to say "vah vah!"
Many things ring so true and natural to me, while certain things appear to me a bit unrealistic and extreme.
I enjoyed the posts alot! Will try to give some feedback to them more in detail after some time...
