Salam.
By looking at the topic itself, you might have got a hint what I am up to. Yes! From where and for what reason rituals instituted in people's life from very ancient times date back to Nuh while Allah created us for none other reason but to Ibada (serve) Him following His path alone. Don't Ibada (serve) Satan..
Subsequently, No ritual Shahada, No Ritual Sala/Prayer, No fasting every year in hunger, No Ritual Zakath mandatory only to their own Muslims, No Ritual Haj every year pelting stones and sticks.
So, then what is Deen/ Islam (System)? What we have to do in life of we don't do anything of the above? Where do we belong to or which group we belong to or are we all alone? Never. Let me explain..
God's System is so natural very much inate to human. Anyone on this earth who surrender to His Creator alone knowingly then he has got the grip of God's path.. After all fundamental point of God is "DON'T ASSOCIATE ANYTHING WITH HIM." This is where the journey begins.
15:41 .... This path leads straight on to ME (reflect Sirath then Alayyi and Musthaqeem)
Have you ever wondered and questioned when God says in His book Follow My path and also says Don't follow the path of Satan. Similarly, God says Ibada (serve) Me, don't Ibada (serve) Satan. Ponder.
To follow God's path thus to serve Him human had Messengers throughout and God revealed messages and books and we have a Quran now... So logically when did Satan reveal his messages and books and his messnsgers for us to take his path and follow?
Literally no book of Satan. Is there? Then why God says don't serve (Ibada) Satan and don't follow Satan.. We don't even see Satan and there is no any satan written book literally and Satan doesn't claim any book that it is from him either.. then how?
Let me explain about God's Messengers and books later. But let me explain God's inspiration and Satan's whisper/inspiration.
This is why no human cannot escape from God's humiliation on the day of judgement regardless where and when he lived. Both God and Satan has connection with us. Communicating to us. God inspires to do good and follow His path which is inbuilt in human heart. Yes it does happen within every person in this Earth. God does communicate. But Satan does communicate as well, but natural instinct given and placed in the heart of human is good and not evil(absolutely good). That's why every human loves good for himself at least. Doesn't he? Yes we do love good for the self, undeniable. But doing good to self alone won't make us human. But Satan inspires to do that is evil against what was genuinely taught to human. Every time men wants to be good with his natural instinct Satan inspires choose his path by tempting with attractions. Human chooses against his nature. Then follows the path which is nowhere written or revealed and given to human.
So one would ponder at this point, if everything is so naturally in built in human, and human is responsible for choosing Satan's inspiration then why we need Messengers and God's written communication? Yes.. None other reason except to convince human heart and to be a witness that God did indeed communicated to us naturally/spiritually and physically. Why God Himself says His book guides to those who are concious. Coz conciousness already inbuilt in human heart but human prefer Satan's inspiration leaving his own conciousness ..
So, if not rituals, then how to live? Follow your natural instinct which is always good. That's undeniable. Evil is not your natural instinct. It is against your natural instinct. Reflect deep. Coz I can't bring every example of life here, but think basic points. For example. Do you like anyone hurt you physically, do you like anyone hurt you mentally, do you like anyone take your wealth by stealing or unfairly, do you like anyone aggressive at you, do you like anyone killing your children, do you like anyone mocking at you, etc etc. Do you like in a nutshell any EVIL fall on you from others? Then imagine why you want to do any of such evils to another person? Isn't this truth of life? Look at the opposite side as well.. Don't you like all the good things happen to you? Doesn't that sums up that we are created with good and our natural instincts are based on good but good. So from where evils creeps in? Yes when you choose agaisnt Naturallly built in pattern. So God has guided everyone with basic of basics. Messengers only came to remind and to let us maintain and to cultivate our natural instinct by not choosing evil path
On top of that to let us know what we don't know.
If you reflect deep with what I have written, you will God willing get the better picture of your life and the path of God as white as snow.
In a nutshell, live a well disciplined life in which only good comprises of natural life and obey the Creator and remember the Creator and magnify Him since you have been guided.. That's all you have to do in life. Beyond that all rituals...
Thank you for reading..
