I would like to illustrate 2 very important points regarding our topic:
But first I re-stress on the most important fact:
-
Life is a very hard intelligent test with the ultimate goal to assure the true eternal self of each creature or human.
Thus No person can be 100% sure whether he passed or failed this test except at the moment of death when he’ll know whether he is from the winners who will go to heaven or the losers who will go to hell.
Simply because the person can deceive all humanity himself included pretending that he’s good hearted & pious, while his true eternal self is arrogant, hating, defying and Sinner.
This kind of hypocrite deceptive person, the holy Qur’an and the prophet told us that God may expose his evilness even very shortly before his death by facilitating and allowing the person to do huge evil deed “like murder, rape, insulting God, etc.” very shortly before his death.
And since The fact is that God knows every person true self even much more accurately that the person himself thinks he knows his own true self.
So all these facts concluded the known fact: that we should work hard and try our best to increase our odds of getting to heaven by doing good deeds & Purify and grow our soles in goodness, and restrain from doing bad deeds.
Also this made the necessity as told of a
balance between Fear from God’s punishment to encourage us to restrain from doing bad deeds, While also hoping for the best from God with love, obedience, & prayer, And care and love for His creatures.
Now we get to our 2 points that depends on the formal illustrated fact above, I’ll illustrate each concept then append the holy Qur’an verses for reference:
1- It’s not enough to admit God’s existence without admitting His authority to tell you what to do or not do.
The holy Qur’an Clearly illustrates that God Almighty has 2 very clear roles or occupations:
a- He is the “Rab: The Lord who creates, supports, gives & facilitates all creatures needs “Food, Air, Water, etc.”” whether they obey Him or not. He supports all His creatures.
b- He Almighty is also the “ilah: Allah God” who is to be respected, top dignified, and obeyed in His orders”, who punishes the arrogant sinners, and rewards the pious, loving, doing good deeds persons.
So In order to win this hard test of life and go to heaven You Must fulfill by heart and actual deeds both categories A & B,
Meaning you Must admit that God is the “Rab: Lord” and Also admit that He is the “ilah: Allah God”, practically by obeying & respecting His orders.
as much as you possibly can, meaning it’s Only accepted that you work your hardest to obey God 100% of your Actual Capability “Physiological, financial, mental, physical health, etc.”. This is the Only guarantee that you will Not suffer any long duration in hell that might extend to eternity, and really hope you will be among the winners who will enter heaven directly.
Now someone could ask, but how can I be sure what God really orders and wants me to do?, we see fanatics from all religions committing horrible crimes claiming in deceit that God Almighty ordered them to do so. Also the Books and messages can be manipulated and falsely wrongly interpreted, by Evil Scholars who want Authority, money and power over people deceiving & lying saying that they are God’s true representatives.
The simple answer is in my last post,
The Baseline that God had put in every creature heart and soul. I quote it here for reference:
I would like to append a note regarding the Second Chance Question:
First I quote my humble reply again to build on it:
Someone may ask, but if this is the way God tests and measures humans to assure the truth, there must be a baseline to build on it,
In fact the holy Qur’an testifies that there is a baseline already built in every human heart and soul.
Holy Qur’an, chapter 7:
“172. And when Your Lord summoned the descendants of Adam, and made them testify about themselves. “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we testify.” Thus you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection, “We were unaware of this.
173. Nor can you Say, “Our ancestors practiced idolatry before; and we are their descendants who came after them; will you destroy us for what the falsifiers did?”
174. We thus elaborate the revelations, so that they may return.”
Someone could say, but I do not remember this testimony.
I humbly reply, you do remember, just look whenever you’re in danger the first thing that pops in your heart, soul and mind is to take refuge and ask help from the higher power, even if you are not a believer in your normal daily routine, whenever your life is in danger you immediately remember this testimony’s feeling and ask help from the higher power,
Names do not matter, there is always a deep feeling for God as the higher power you take refuge to no-matter the name you call this power, Allah, God, Lord, Yahweh, Brahma, etc.
Every child is Born with this deep feeling, this makes even very young children have conscience and morals before any parenting guide from their parents even start.
Holy Qur’an, chapter 30:
“30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism—the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.”
I hope this note clarifies this issue more to Muslims and non- Muslims here
Happy Eid to you all,
This hard encoded baseline in every human heart & soul, acts as a very accurate compass, Guiding every human who really listens to it to Accurately interpret God’s messages and books and take the good path.
Examples: The very basic feeling of the urge to save a child instead of killing him, to respect and honor your parents instead of hurting them, to do your best in your profession Not because your salary is big but because you offer your hard work to God Almighty trying your best to make the world He created a better place, to give charity to the poor instead of stealing from others, etc.
Every Hard encoded moral & pure goodness in every born human Heart and Soul.
Important note: It’s very stressed on the importance of Not getting proud with your good deeds, and always try to focus your intention for every good deed you do to be solely for God’s sake, while humbly praying and asking God to accept it. Not bragging and falsely thinking that you have surely earned heaven by your good deed, because this bragging & arrogance will delete your reward immediately and your good deed will not be accepted.
Heaven is for the humble, pious, loving hearts, Not the arrogant, over-proud, stubborn, evil hearts.
2- It’s greatly encouraged to join Islam officially for every Unitarian theist Universalist person, because this will actually double the odds of passing this hard test of life and entering heaven.
The prophet and the holy Qur’an Cleary stated that: following Islam officially in every good teaching doubles the reward, because it’s the final message sent by God to humanity.
This does not negate the fact that many so called Muslims who are actually criminals will probably go to hell, and many Non-Muslims who are Unitarian theist Universalists will probably go to heaven directly by God’s willing, even if they are not officially Muslims.
But the main point is that hereafter is a place for grading, and there are numerous grades in heaven, so the more you score in this hard test of life the higher the grade of enjoyment you’ll enjoy eternally in heaven.
Here are Holy Qur’an verses down:
Chapter 2:
“284. To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Whether you reveal what is within your selves, or conceal it, God will call you to account for it. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. God is Able to do all things.
285. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.”
286.
God does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. To its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. “Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with more than we have strength to bear; and pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord and Master, so help us against the disbelieving people.”
“
Chapter 53:
“32. Those who avoid gross sins and indecencies—except for minor lapses—your Lord is of Vast Forgiveness. He knows you well, ever since He created you from the earth, and ever since you were embryos in your mothers’ wombs. So do not acclaim your own virtue; He is fully aware of the righteous.”
Chapter 4:
“31. If you avoid the worst of what you are forbidden, We will remit your sins, and admit you by a Gate of Honor.”
Chapter 42:
“37. And those who avoid major sins and indecencies; and if they become angry, they forgive.
38. And those who respond to their Lord, and pray regularly, and conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and give of what We have provided them.”
“
Chapter 7:
“42. As for those who believe and do righteous works—We never burden any soul beyond its capacity—these are the inhabitants of the Garden; abiding therein eternally.”
Chapter 23:
“60. And those who give what they give, while their hearts quake, knowing that to their Lord they will return.
61. It is they who race towards goodness. It is they who will reach it first.
62. We never burden any soul beyond its capacity. And with Us is a record that tells the truth, and they will not be wronged.
“
Chapter 28:
“52. Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it.
53. When it is recited to them, they say, “We have believed in it; it is the truth from our Lord; we were Muslims prior to it.”
54.
These will be given their reward twice, because they persevered; and they counter evil with good; and from Our provisions to them, they give.”
Chapter 50:
“24. “Throw into Hell every stubborn disbeliever.
25. Preventer of good, aggressor, doubter.”
Chapter 68:
“10. And do not obey any vile swearer.
11. Backbiter, spreader of slander.
12. Preventer of good, transgressor, sinner.
13. Rude and fake besides.”
I hope this analysis clarifies these 2 points to Muslims and non-Muslims here
God Blesses to you all
