[43:62] Let not the devil repel you; he
is your most ardent enemy.
Satan has been promoting "do not judge- God
is the only judge". As usual, he mixes
some truth with his own falsehood to make his
lies tastier, and more chewable for his targets.
God is the only Ultimate/Supreme Judge. This is
true. He is fully aware of all innermost
thoughts, and He is the only One who knows
the entire path of each individual and the
status each one of us will die in. Therefore,
without a doubt, He is the Ultimate and Supreme
Judge. The "do not judge" part is made
up by Mr. S and all his constituents. Not only
does this seemingly sweet and righteous
statement have NO Quranic basis but it also
contradicts the system set by God equally for
all humans to freely judge and choose. Why
does Mr. S insist on promoting partially true
banners? Because this scheme of "mix & match",
using parts of the truth mixed with
falsehood, seems to have an appealing tone. It
allows him to achieve a very promising goal:
confounding truth with falsehood to mess up with
God's teachings. In this particular case - the "do
not judge" case - this technique inhibits
the free will of his targets, and turns them
into apathetic robots that do not discriminate!
The end result would be disregarding many of
God's teachings and guidelines and the partial
obedience of His laws..
Judging, choosing, and freedom are inseparable
powers that are divinely granted to all humans.
We are born FREE to choose. We wanted to
reevaluate our direction and choose between God
and Satan (33:72). God has established us on
earth to judge, using our brains, eyesight, and
hearing, in order to freely make choices.. Every
single step of our path on earth involves
judgment in order to exercise our freedom to
choose, while Mr. S tries to convince certain
targets otherwise. He has promised and
challenged to mislead many targets so
they hardly find God's path (7:16). His
ultimate goal is to interrupt the process of
purification and liberation of their souls.
The Devil is the Other Alternative
[36:60] Did I
not covenant with you, O Children of Adam, that
you shall not worship the devil?
That he is your most ardent enemy?
[2:148] Each of
you chooses the direction to follow;
you shall race towards righteousness. Wherever
you may be, GOD will summon you all. GOD is
Omnipotent.
[18:29] Proclaim:
"This is the truth from your Lord," then
whoever wills let him believe, and
whoever wills let him disbelieve. .....
[2:256] There
shall be no compulsion in religion: the right
way is now distinct from the wrong way.
Anyone who denounces the devil and
believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond;
one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer,
Omniscient.
This reminder is about just one application of
that Satanic banner - do not judge,
God is the only judge. It is about
confusing some targets so they DO NOT judge
ENEMIES OF GOD to act appropriately using
necessary measures. Once confused, they make
wrong choices in regard of them, or think they
are pleasing God by sticking around them. In
fact, they strive to stay, rather than part
company with them. Deceived by Mr.S's "do
not judge" banner, they believe this is the
Quranic way to handle them!! The consequences
are all detailed in the Quran: creating
divisions, and introducing conjecture in hope to
dilute and eventually replace the truth.
Gradually, baseless information and unquranic banners start
to be preached in God's places of worship and
9:107 becomes a reality while some are
not paying attention, and others are confused
enough to validate blasphemies against God.
Great job Mr. S! This has been happening for
years in our communities in front of the eyes of
those who can see. As for the blind ones, may
God have mercy on them and may He restore their
vision one day so they could see once more.
Who are the enemies of God? Are they
recognizable? Has God detailed for us enough
examples and lengthy history to alert us and
help us identify them, or has this been only for
entertaining purposes?? Has God issued for us
specific stands to make when we encounter them?
If so, should we then examine questionable
actions, and confessions?Should we judge them
according to God's perfect scales of judgment in
order for us to follow His commands and take
necessary measures in appropriate
circumstances? How would it be possible to be
commanded to never ally ourselves with God's
enemies, be stern with them, disregard them, or
disown them at certain point without granted the
ability and the concession to judge them? Is
what Mr. S proposes logical?!
Who are the enemies of God? Are they
recognizable? Has God detailed for us enough
examples and lengthy history to alert us and
help us identify them, or has this been only for
entertaining purposes??
[41:19] The day
will come when the enemies of GOD will be
summoned to the hellfire, forcibly.
God states that on the Day of Judgment, His
enemies will be the fuel of Hell. Who incurs
such condemnation? According to Quran, they are
the liars who do not fear God, stand for His
Truth, or adopt His straight path (7:44,11:18).
Because of that, they are exiled from His mercy.
Disbelief in God and in meeting Him is the
common dominator of their behavior. Idol worship
and hypocrisy are common forms of
disbelief. Idol worshipers and hypocrites
are labeled by God as the worst creatures and
the real enemies.
Enemies of God are always enemies of His truth.
Conversely, all believers, including God's
angels, abhor what God abhors, disown who He
disowns, and love what He loves. They utter what
conforms with His utterances, and follow His
systems with no hesitance or a trace of
hypocrisy. A disease is certainly in the hearts
of those who extend their compassion, and
friendship to those who confess their disbelief
and aggressively fight the truth and the
believers. In extending compassion towards them,
or labeling them as "brethren in faith", they
only go against the divine systems of the Most
Gracious, fooling some under the banners of
kindness, best possible manners, unity etc....
They transgress the scales of justice set by God
in His Quran. Ego makes them believe that
they can be wiser and kinder than God! Ego
pushes them to negotiate God's systems without
basis:
[33:70] O you who
believe, reverence GOD and utter only the
correct utterances.
[47:7] O you who
believe, if you support GOD, He will support
you, and strengthen your foothold.
[58:22] You
will not find people who believe in GOD and
the Last Day befriending those who oppose
GOD and His messenger, even if they were
their parents, or their children, or their
siblings, or their tribe.
For these, He decrees faith into their hearts,
and supports them with inspiration from Him, and
admits them into gardens with flowing streams
wherein they abide forever. GOD is pleased with
them, and they are pleased with Him. These are
the party of GOD. Most assuredly, GOD's party
are the winners.
[8:55] The
worst creatures in the sight of GOD are those
who disbelieved; they cannot believe.
[48:6] And He
will requite the hypocrite men and women
and the idol worshiping men and women,
for they have harbored evil thoughts about GOD.
Their evil will backfire against them. For
GOD is angry with them, condemns them, and has
prepared for them Gehenna. What a miserable
destiny!
[63:1] When
the hypocrites come to you they
say, "We bear witness that you are the messenger
of GOD."* GOD knows that you are His messenger,
and GOD bears witness that the hypocrites are
liars.
[63:2] Under the guise of
their apparent faith,
they repel the people from the path of
GOD. Miserable indeed is what they do.
[63:3] This is
because they believed, then disbelieved. Hence,
their minds are blocked; they do not understand.
[63:4] When you
see them, you may be impressed by their looks.
And when they speak, you may listen to their
eloquence. They are like standing logs. They
think that every call is intended against them.
These are the real enemies; beware of
them. GOD condemns them; they have deviated.
[98:6] Those who
disbelieved among the people of the scripture,
and the idol worshipers,
have incurred the fire of Gehenna forever.
They are the worst creatures.
[35:39] He is the One who
made you inheritors of the earth. Subsequently,
whoever chooses to
disbelieve does so to his own detriment.
The disbelief of the disbelievers only
augments their Lord's abhorrence towards them.
The disbelief of the disbelievers
plunges them deeper into loss.
[40:10] Those who
disbelieve will be told, "GOD's
abhorrence towards you is even worse than your
own abhorrence towards yourselves.
For you were invited to believe, but you
chose to disbelieve."
Characteristics of disbelievers, idol worshipers
or hypocrites, are fully detailed in Quran by
the Most Gracious to expose them only to be able
to judge them accordingly, and make the right
decisions in the right circumstances.. Every
example, piece of history, word, and letter are
perfectly measured in Quran for our salvation.
This is what God teaches the believers. On the
other hand, Mr. S. is picking and choosing
for his targets and limiting the judging process
to certain situations while hiding behind his
back tons of divine knowledge. Details of these
characteristics are discussed in the following
web pages:
Has God detailed for us specific
conducts/stands when we encounter them? If so,
should we then examine questionable actions, and
confessions? Should we judge them according to
God's perfect scales of judgment in order to
follow His commands and take necessary measures
when applicable?
God informs us in chapter 60 that those who are
not fighting God's truth or oppressing the
believers in any way could be regarded as
friends:
[60:8] GOD
does not enjoin you from befriending those
who do not fight you because of religion, and do
not evict you from your homes.
You may befriend them and be equitable
towards them. GOD loves the equitable.
Those who are aggressively fighting the
believers, and God's truth are prohibited as
friends or brethren in faith. Per 58:22,
those who God has decreed true faith in their
hearts cannot do that ; they cannot go against
God's utterances, or systems.
[60:9] GOD
enjoins you only from befriending those
who fight you because of religion, evict you
from your homes, and band together with others
to banish you. You shall not befriend them.
Those who befriend them are the transgressors.
It is crucial to be knowledgeable about the
difference between befriending
and allying as used by God in
His perfect Arabic Quran. While befriending (wed
in Arabic text) is a casual relation of
extending niceness or kindness towards others,
allying (welayah in Arabic text) means a
relationship that is deep enough to being
heavily influenced by and loyal to certain
parties. Believers of one community are allies
to one another (9:71), and members of one family
(49:9). The first relation (befriending) is
prohibited for the believers towards those
who fight God and His truth, but permissible
towards those who maintain a peaceful
relationship with the believers and never
exhibit any form of oppression (60:8-9). The
latter (allying) is prohibited for the believers
at all times, without exception, towards enemies
of God, His messenger, or the believers (3:28,
58:22). So, both befriending and allying with
enemies of God who are active fighters of His
truth or the believers are prohibited for
believers.
When we are spreading God's message, we invite
to His path with kind enlightenment and wisdom,
and we must debate in the best possible manner
(16:125). We may disregard the ignorant in a
nice and peaceful manner (25:63). This is a
situation that is different from dealing with
those who mingle in our communities and mosques
as "allies" repelling from the path of God under
the banner of Submission. They spread their
blasphemies by abusing God's mosques (9:107).
They label themselves as "submitters", demand to
be regarded as "brethren in faith", "community
members", " bodies or allies" , and claim they
only seek God alone, while their confessions are
nothing but polluted idol worship and wicked
hypocrisy. Inside God's mosques, or during
community functions, they aggressively fight the
ultimate truth, attribute lies to God, violate
the rights of believers, and mock them when they
uphold the truth. They persist in doing all of
that with no regret or repentance. Is what Mr. S
proposes logical?! Can't we judge these? Are
these the candidates for kindness and best
possible manners (16:125)? Is what Mr. S
proposes logical?! Are these the ones we stick
around, force ourselves to be with, never turn
our eyes away from, and unite with in a
community, or a mosque like bricks in one wall?
Are these the true believers, the true family,
and the real allies?
NO. These are the ones who God sufficiently
warned us against, but only the seer can heed
the guidance. As for the blind ones, may God
have mercy on them and may He restore their
vision one day so they could see once more.
Here are the warnings and the stands we must
take against these enemies of God as detailed by
the Most Gracious. Such commands cannot be
followed without judging!Believers wouldn't
underestimate the word of God. They take it
seriously and literally. Never ally with, do not
lean towards, disown, disregard, be stern with,
and part company with - are words that God has
chosen to use in dealing with His enemies when
they are aggressive towards His truth and His
servants. The following are direct commands from
God in regard of them. Please read and reflect:
God disowns the idol worshipers, but we cannot
judge them to part company with them! Is what
Mr. S proposes logical?!
[9:3] A
proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His
messenger to all the people on the great day of
pilgrimage, that GOD has
disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His
messenger. Thus, if you
repent, it would be better for you. But if you
turn away, then know that you can never escape
from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful
retribution.
God
distinguishes among us based on our alliance
with the right company and He directly asks us
not to ally with His enemies. How do we choose
who we ally with without judging? Is what Mr. S
proposes logical?!
[9:16] Did you
think that you will be left alone without
GOD distinguishing those among you who strive,
and never ally
themselves with GOD's enemies,
or the enemies of His messenger, or
the enemies of the believers? GOD
is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
[3:28] The
believers never ally themselves with the
disbelievers, instead of the believers.
Whoever does this is exiled from GOD.
Exempted are those who are forced to do this to
avoid persecution. GOD alerts you that
you shall reverence Him alone. To GOD is the
ultimate destiny.
Idol worshipers cannot
frequent God's mosques as allies to peach and
share their pollution! Shouldn't we judge them
to stop them from spreading their
blasphemies? Where is the logic in what Mr. S
suggests?!
[9:17] The idol
worshipers are not to frequent the
masjids of GOD, while confessing their
disbelief. These have nullified their works, and
they will abide forever in Hell.
We are commanded to be stern with them ; be
firm, and consistently fight & reject their
falsehood whenever we encounter them. God will
love those who do so. Shouldn't we judge them to
be stern with them and earn God's love? Is what
Mr. S proposes logical?!
You Shall Be Stern With the
Disbelievers
[9:73] O you prophet,
strive against the disbelievers and
the hypocrites, and be stern in dealing with
them. Their destiny is Hell; what a miserable
abode!
[9:74] They swear by GOD
that they never said it, although
they have uttered the word of disbelief;
they have disbelieved after becoming submitters.
In fact, they gave up what they never had.
They have rebelled even though GOD and His
messenger have showered them with His grace and
provisions. If they repent, it would
be best for them. But if they turn
away, GOD will commit them to painful
retribution in this life and in the Hereafter.
They will find no one on earth to be their lord
and master.
[5:54] O you who
believe, if you revert from your religion, then
GOD will substitute in your place people whom
He loves and who love Him. They will be
kind with the believers, stern with the
disbelievers, and will strive in the cause of
GOD without fear of any blame.
Such is GOD's blessing; He bestows it upon
whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.
Abraham disowned his idol worshiping father and
his whole tribe when they were aggressive
towards Him and the believers. What is the
meaning of disowning? Where is the logic in what
Mr. S suggests?!
[9:114] The only
reason Abraham asked forgiveness for his
father was that he had promised him to do
so. But as soon as he realized that he was
an enemy of GOD, he disowned him. Abraham
was extremely kind, clement.
Abraham: An Example
[60:4]
A good example has been set
for you by Abraham and those with him.
They said to their people,
"We disown you and the idols that you
worship besides GOD. We denounce you,
and you will see nothing from us except
animosity and hatred until you believe
in GOD ALONE."* However, a
mistake was commited by Abraham when he
said to his father, "I will pray for
your forgiveness,** but I possess no
power to protect you from GOD." "Our
Lord, we trust in You, and submit to
You; to You is the final destiny.
[60:5] "Our Lord,
let us not be oppressed by those who
disbelieved, and forgive us. You are the
Almighty, Most Wise."
[60:6]
A good example has been
set by them for those who seek GOD and
the Last Day. As for those who turn
away, GOD is in no need (of them), Most
Praiseworthy.
Noah hated the company of God's enemies and
prayed for their annihilation. God taught him
that his disbelieving son is His enemy, and thus
is no longer part of his family or the family of
believers. Only believers are part of one
family, and only this kind of family deserves
peace (49:9-11). Only the ignorant ones would
consider disbelievers as part of their families
(11:46)! And how would we choose our family
members without judging? Is what Mr. S proposes
logical?!
[71:26] Noah also said,
"My Lord, do not leave a single
disbeliever on earth.
[71:27] "For if
you let them, they will only mislead your
servants and give birth to nothing but wicked
disbelievers.
[71:28] "My Lord, forgive
me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home
as a believer, and all the believing men and
women. But do not give the
disbelievers anything but annihilation."
[11:45] Noah implored
his Lord: "My Lord, my son is a member of my
family, and Your promise is the truth. You
are the wisest of the wise."
[11:46] He said,
"O Noah, he is not of your family.
It is unrighteous to ask Me for something
you do not know.* I enlighten
you, lest you be like the ignorant."
Aaron committed a sin when he compromised the
truth and was afraid of idol worshipers during
his brother's absence. Moses prayed for his
forgiveness and asked God to help him "part
company" with the wicked people. Did he judge
them then? Where is the logic in what Mr. S
suggests?!
[7:150] When Moses
returned to his people, angry and disappointed,
he said, "What a terrible thing you have done in
my absence! Could you not wait for the
commandments of your Lord?" He threw down the
tablets, and took hold of his brother's head,
pulling him towards himself. (Aaron) said,
"Son of my mother, the people took
advantage of my weakness, and almost killed me.
Let not my enemies rejoice, and do not count me
with the transgressing people."
[7:151] (Moses) said, "My
Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us
into Your mercy. Of all the merciful ones, You
are the Most Merciful."
[7:152] Surely, those who
idolized the calf have incurred wrath from their
Lord, and humiliation in this life. We thus
requite the innovators.
Despite All the Miracles They Saw
[5:24] They said, "O
Moses, we will never enter it, so long as
they are in it. Therefore, go - you and your
Lord - and fight. We are sitting right
here."
[5:25] He said, "My
Lord, I can only control myself and my
brother. So, allow us to part
company with the wicked people."
More guidance for the seer:
[3:86] Why
should GOD guide people who disbelieved
after believing, and after witnessing that
the messenger is truth, and after solid
proofs* have been given to them? GOD does
not guide the wicked.
[3:87]
These have incurred condemnation by GOD, and
the angels, and all the people.
[3:88]
Eternally they abide therein; the
retribution is never commuted for them, nor
will they be reprieved.
[3:89]
Exempted are those who repent thereafter,
and reform. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Do Not Befriend Hypocrites
[3:118] O you who
believe, do not befriend outsiders
who never cease to wish you harm;
they even wish to see you suffer. Hatred
flows out of their mouths and what they hide in
their chests is far worse. We thus
clarify the revelations for you, if you
understand.
[3:119] Here you
are loving them, while they do not love you, and
you believe in all the scripture.
When they meet you they say, "We
believe," but as soon as they leave, they bite
their fingers out of rage towards you. Say, "Die
in your rage." GOD is fully aware of the
innermost thoughts.
[3:120] When
anything good comes your way they hurt, and when
something bad happens to you they rejoice. If
you steadfastly persevere, and maintain
righteousness, their schemes will never hurt
you. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
Mr. S inspires his targets
to ally with God's enemies and lean towards
them, driving a wedge between God's
allies. Shouldn't we judge God's enemies so we
do not allow them to divide us? Is what Mr. S
proposes logical?!
How to Deal With the Hypocrites
[4:88] Why
should you divide yourselves into two groups
regarding hypocrites (among you)?
GOD is the one who condemned them
because of their own behavior.
Do you want to guide those who are sent
astray by GOD? Whomever GOD sends
astray, you can never find a way to guide them.
[4:89] They
wish that you disbelieve as they have
disbelieved, then you become equal. Do not
consider them friends, unless they mobilize
along with you in the cause of GOD.
If they turn against you, you shall
fight them, and you may kill them
when you encounter them in war. You shall not
accept them as friends, or allies.*
[11:112] Therefore,
continue on the path you have been enjoined
to follow, together with those who repented
with you, and do not transgress. He is Seer
of everything you do.
[11:113]
Do not lean towards those who have
transgressed, lest you incur Hell, and find
no allies to help you against GOD, then end
up losers.
Moreover, he inspires his targets to defend
them, while God is preaching the opposite! How
do we obey this command without judging? Where
is the logic in what Mr. S suggests?! :
Do Not Defend the Transgressors
[4:107] Do
not argue on behalf of those who have
wronged their own souls; GOD does not love
any betrayer, guilty.
[4:108] They hide
from the people, and do not care to hide
from GOD, though He is with them as they
harbor ideas He dislikes. GOD is fully aware
of everything they do.
You Do Not Help Them by Being
"Nice"
[4:109]
Here you are arguing on their behalf in this
world; who is going to argue with GOD on
their behalf on the Day of Resurrection? Who
is going to be their advocate?
We are not to
stand on the disbelievers' graves or
pray for their forgiveness. How would we
decide on that without judging? Is what
Mr. S proposes logical?!
[9:113]
Neither the prophet,
nor those who believe
shall ask forgiveness for the idol
worshipers, even if
they were their nearest of kin, once
they realize that they are destined
for Hell.
[9:84]
You shall not observe the funeral
prayer for any of them when he dies, nor
shall you stand at his grave. They
have disbelieved in GOD and His
messenger, and died in a state of
wickedness.
We are not to
marry from idol worshipers- God's
enemies, and His worst creatures. Should
we judge our future spouses or not?
Where is the logic in what Mr. S
suggests?! :
[2:221]
Do not marry idolatresses
unless they believe; a believing woman
is better than an idolatress, even if
you like her. Nor shall you
give your daughters in marriage to
idolatrous men, unless they believe. A
believing man is better than an
idolater, even if you like him. These
invite to Hell, while GOD invites to
Paradise and forgiveness, as He wills.
He clarifies His revelations for the
people, that they may take heed.
How do we disregard the idol worshipers and
their blasphemies if we do not judge them? Is
what Mr. S proposes logical?!
[6:106] Follow
what is revealed to you from your Lord, there is
no god except He, and disregard the idol
worshipers.
Hadith & Sunna:
Fabrications by the Prophet's Enemies
[6:112] We have permitted
the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn
devils - to inspire in each other fancy words,
in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they
would not have done it. You shall
disregard them and their fabrications.
Important Criterion
[6:113]
This is to let the
minds of those who do not believe in the
Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and
accept them, and thus expose their real
convictions.*
[109:1] Say, "O you
disbelievers. [109:2] "I do not worship what
you worship.
[109:3] "Nor do you
worship what I worship.
[109:4] "Nor will I ever
worship what you worship.
[109:5] "Nor will you
ever worship what I worship.
[109:6] "To you is your
religion, and to me is my religion."
His nonsense is visible to the seer. His goal of
partially obeying Quran is not going to be
accomplished through God's allies. He may
confuse the divine teachings for some, and
persuade others to abuse or misapply some verses
in certain situations while ignoring the
appropriate ones, but all bad schemes will
backfire. This is the promise of the Best
Schemer. Only the seer would take heed. As for
the blind ones, may God have mercy on them and
may He restore their vision one day so
they could see once again.
[43:62] Let not
the devil repel you; he is your most ardent
enemy.
Peaceful Friday, salaam, and God bless.
