The vast majority of people have fallen
victim to idol worship. Over the years, the one and only one
monotheistic religion authorized by God has been evolving
and spawning a new façade through idol worship, with Satan's
presence in the background to dupe the worshipers into the
belief they are practicing pure monotheism.
What common ground have all these idol worshipers shared
to fall into the practice of idol worship? They all have
been in desperate need to a god they can see; Jesus,
Mary, Imams, Saints, this educated and knowledgeable
scholar, that man claiming to be a descendant or a
companion of prophet so and so, etc... These are all
figures of flesh and blood that the idol worshipers have
physically witnessed or can trust that previous
generations physically witnessed.
Having portraits, statues, and writings
of the names of certain humans in places of worship is
nothing but a NEED to have a visual of a god. It brings
comfort to most humans when they create a physical
manifestation of their god. Dwelling on
searching through the hadith and sunna books or in the
history documents of famous religious imams, saints, or
rabbis is nothing but an attempt to recreate and relive a
pious man's life, with the deception that this will bring us
closer to God.
[39:3] Absolutely, the
religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up
idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to
bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!"
GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not
guide such liars, disbelievers.
God's scriptures teach us how
exactly we love God, but our shortsightedness and
limitations trick us into loving and worshiping what we can
see and touch:
[75:5] But the human
being tends to believe only what he
sees in front of him.
To be able to believe in the UNSEEN is
among the qualities and the traits of true righteous
believers (2:3). This is not limited to the Unseen God,
but includes and leads to the belief in all the UNSEEN;
God's promises and warnings, the Day of Judgment (rewards
and punishment), our creation, the angels, the jinns, God's
prophesies, and all the unseen that we, physically and as
humans, cannot comprehend. The past generations and the
future ones are also UNSEEN for us. We're so limited only to
a certain dimension of the present on a day to day basis.
There is no way to have a flash back of the past generations
and previous messengers or have a glimpse of the future
ones. But again, true righteous submitters demonstrate their
strength of faith through their belief in all this UNSEEN
and by their certainty about the Last Day.
Three Categories of People
(1) The Righteous
[2:3] who believe in the
unseen, observe the
Contact Prayers (Salat),* and from our** provisions to them,
they give to charity.
[2:4] And they believe in what was
revealed to you, and in what was revealed before
you,* and with regard to the Hereafter, they are absolutely
certain.
When God swears in the Quran, His swearing is incredibly
awesome with multidimensional effects and beauty. It doesn't
equate the swearing or the oath of any other entity. Coming
from the TRUTH, the Almighty, God's swearing brings the
heart assurance, certainty, strength, immense glory, peace,
light, and more guidance to the hearts of true believers.
God swears by the UNSEEN in the Quran as a mercy and a
powerful reminder for the sincere who benefit from His
reminders (51:55, 25:73)
[69:38] I swear by what you see.
[69:39] And what you do not see.
[69:40] This is the utterance of an honorable
messenger.
The following verse states many of the above examples
of the UNSEEN:
[4:136] O you who believe, you shall believe in
GOD and His messenger, and the scripture He has
revealed through His messenger, and the scripture He has
revealed before that. Anyone who refuses to believe in
GOD, and His angels,
and His scriptures, and
His messengers, and the Last Day,
has indeed strayed far astray.
God is Just (3:182) and He is the Best Judge (6:57).
He doesn't burden any soul beyond its means (23:62, 2:286),
nor does He punish without warning (17:15, 11:117). The Most
Merciful Has given every single community sufficient signs
and proofs to believe in Him and find His path through His
messengers and prophets with the support of their proofs and
scriptures (10:47, 13:7, 16:36). Beyond all that, He
consistently manifests Himself into everything and anything
we see, and do. He promises us that He will continue
showering us with His divine signs and proofs (41:53). The
humans and the jinns are fully equipped to believe in ALL
THE UNSEEN.
By God's will and Infinite Grace, we're among the
generations that can verify His truth beyond any doubt. We
do have, in hand, all the physical evidence of the divine
authorship of the Quran. Without being eye witness, we do
have a tangible and verifiable proof of all the UNSEEN
divinely documented and preserved in the Quran, past and
future. This is out of God's mercy that encompasses all
mercies, but most humans are way so unappreciative,
deaf, dumb, and blind. They still look for a seen god or
idol!
[10:1] A.L.R.* These (letters) are the proofs
of this book of wisdom.
*10:1 These letters constitute a major portion of the
Quran's awesome mathematical code and proof of divine
authorship. See Appendix 1 for details.
http://www.submission.org/quran/app1.html
[13:1] A. L. M. R.* These
(letters) are proofs of this
scripture. What is revealed to you
from your Lord is the truth, but most people
do not believe.
*13:1 These initials constitute a major component
of the Quran's built-in proof of divine authorship, the
miraculous mathematical code. See Appendix 1.
http://www.submission.org/quran/app1.html
[15:1] A.L.R.* These (letters)
are proofs of this scripture;
a profound Quran.
A Great Prophecy*
[41:53] We will show
them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves,
until they realize that this is the truth.* Is
your Lord not sufficient as a witness of all things?
*41:53 The Arabic letters that compose this
verse, without repetition, are 19, and their gematrical
values add up to 1387, 19x73. This great prophecy, together
with 9:33, 48:28, 61:9 & 110:2 inform us that the whole
world is destined to accept the Quran as God's unaltered
message (See Appendix 38).
http://www.submission.org/quran/app38.html
We steadfastly persevere in worshiping God to be
blessed with certainty (15:99) like prophet Abraham (6:75).
The Most Gracious has provided us with all the physical and
intellectual means to reach that cognitive stage and utilize
all that is seen and witnessed to be certain of all the
UNSEEN as well:
[27:1] T. S.* These (letters)
constitute proofs of the Quran; a profound scripture.
[27:2] A beacon, and good news, for the believers.
[27:3] Who observe the Contact
Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory
charity (Zakat), and they are, with regard to the
Hereafter, absolutely certain.
When we're certain, we're able to enjoy a state of
mind of total submission to God's will. We peacefully accept
the whole UNSEEN PACKAGE of our past and joyfully wait for
that of our future until our souls rejoice in the eternal
peace at our Lord. It's true peace all the way if we truly
believe in the UNSEEN. [2:2] This
scripture is infallible; a beacon for the righteous;
[2:3] who believe in the unseen, observe the Contact Prayers
(Salat),* and from our** provisions to them, they give to
charity.
[2:4] And they believe in what
was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you,*
and with regard to the Hereafter, they are
absolutely certain.
[2:5] These are guided by their
Lord; these are the winners.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and may God bless you.
