Living Islam

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّححِيْمِ

And your Lord says;

Call on Me (GOD).

I will Answer your (Prayer):

– Quran 40:60

“To every People have We appointed Rites and Ceremonies which they follow. So, let them not dispute with you on the matter, but do invite (them) to your Lord: for you are assuredly on straight guidance.”

– Quran 22:67

“Remember GOD!”

everyone, have a

“Happy Holiday Season“

“Glory to GOD!”

“All Prayer belong to GOD!”

“All Worship be to GOD!”

Salvation of GOD is for all Mankind

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَحِيْمِ

“So when you have accomplished your holy

rites, Celebrate the Praises of GOD, as you

used to celebrate the praises of your

father’s, – Yes, with far more Heart and soul.”

– Quran 2:200

Do Not Confuse remembrance ذِكِر  with worship تَعْبُدُ .  To worship anything other than GOD is a sin punishable with eternal Hell.  When the Arab made Pilgrimage (Hajj) before the Quran was revealed, one of them may remember saying, ‘My father used to feed (the poor), help others (end their disputes, with money), pay the Diyah (i.e. blood money,’ and so forth).  The only Dhikr (remembrance) that they had was that they would remember the deeds of their fathers, things that helped themselves, and the society contain itself as a community and allowed for social advancement.

Your love of it will cause you to enter Paradise.

Nothing is worthy of worship but GOD, (HE) is Alone with nothing equal to Him, the creator, Lord and Cherisher of all that exists.

“Indeed, the likeness of Jesus in the sight of GOD is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was!” 3:59.

أَتْقَىٰكُمْ

أَتْقَىٰكُمْ ۚ the person who is (the most) righteous – GOD fearing / conscious of GOD – and GOD is Aware of the hearts of all mankind.

“O Mankind! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous among you. GOD is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware;” 49:13

The Prophet (ﷺ) is reported in a ḥadîth collected by Imâm Aḥmed to have said, “O Mankind! Your Lord is one, and your ancestry is one. No Arab is superior to a non-Arab, nor is any non-Arab superior to any Arab. No white is superior to any black, nor is any black superior to any white except on account of their righteousness.”

And behold! GOD will say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, `worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of GOD”? He will say: “Glory to You! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For You know in full all that is hidden. “Never said I to them aught except what You did command me to say: to wit, `Worship GOD, my Lord, and your Lord’; and I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up You was (are) the Watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things. “If You punish them they are Your servants: if You forgive them, You are the Exalted in power the Wise. GOD will say: “This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,― their eternal home: GOD well-pleased with them and they with GOD: that is the great Salvation (the fulfillment of all desires). To GOD belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein and it is He who has power over all things,” 5:116 – 120
