“When you sleep in a house, your thoughts are as high as the ceiling, but when you sleep outside, they are as high as the stars!” (Well-known Bedouin Proverb)
According to a recent CNN program featuring Fareed Zakaria called “Why Do They Hate Us” the problem of the West versus Islam began in 1949 with the witnessing of Americans having fun at a dance by Sayyid Qutb who went on to write a philosophy of Western Decadence and his fear of that decadence, as it being a disease, would spread these corruptions to Muslim lands.
You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of a Dhab (a desert lizard), you will enter too. We said: O Messenger of ALLAH, do you mean the Jews and Christians? He said: Who else? (Muslim)
According to some this was the rise of ‘Islamist thinking’ in the Middle East which was then spread abroad. Depending upon who is in charge of the various methods that this so-called ideology inspired, Islam took on a new development and the battle between right and wrong and other philosophies emerged with some having an awakening and others forming a hardening of opinions.
What did Mr. Qutb really see? He saw another culture enjoying itself with worldly concerns (Al-dunya) and presumably putting their MAIN DIRECTIVES found in their Holy Books on hold. In other words, the Judeo-Christian Sharia, featuring over 620 directives for ‘righteous living’ was forgotten or trashed for the sake of having fun, fun and more fun.
But for the sake of brevity, he may have wondered how such a backward religious country as America which was somehow related to the backward religious countries of Europe, could be so powerful and worldly influential. Especially, when the ‘laws of GOD’ were being so flagrantly violated and violated by a people who claimed that they ‘loved’ GOD!
For verily I say unto you, “Until heaven and earth pass {away}, NOT one jot or one title {commandment} shall pass from the LAW, until ALL be fulfilled.” Matthew (5: 18)
Next, he probably focused on the sleepy little Islamic regimes as being way too dictatorial, primitive and desiring to follow the so-called West in various cultural surrender to the mindless joys of carefree and fun loving pillage for the privileged class that set most westerners ‘free’! In other words, GOD is good only when used or thought of sparingly with the emphasis on being investigated (as to what HE has declared) only on a superficial level.
It appears that both cultures wanted to use GOD as an ALL-POWERFUL but HOLLOW symbol for any greatness that came their way. The corrupt thinking goes like this: Once a society can control GOD, they can drape themselves with all sorts of explanations on why and how they are superior, great or whatever floats their boat at the moment!
Just like any manual used for constructing concepts, the Holy Books would also come under threat from those who decided to have a super but CARELESS swing into hardcore, fix ‘um up strict religious dictates. Why fast a month every year when one can show how tough he is by fasting every day and twice on Sundays.
Of course that thought is ridiculous, but it would lead to trouble. The generation doing it might tough-it-out but the next generation being ‘broadcast to’ will eventually figure out that the ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow (glorious victory) was not quite forthcoming. In other words, when I actually turn to GOD for a couple of months and change my habits, why does not society come to me on bended knees?
So the youth became impatient and wanted to ‘force’ the issue and become ‘soldiers’ for their GOD. Except they are those who generally lack TOLERENCE and have some kind of an idea that they are the generals and GOD is the private waiting to do our bidding once we put in the work. So flabby laziness concerning the Sharia of Judeo-Christianity was countered by cruelty and hate from those ‘heartless’ reformers who remained outside the pall of Islamic Temperance. Hence, the distrust and dislike on both sides with the real people of quality faith caught in between.
Oh People of the Book {Jews, Christians and Muslims}, don’t go to extremes in your religion, AND do not say about GOD except the Truth {that GOD is especially only for you or that HE has begotten a son}… Q (4: 171)
Between these violent extremes (of Western, Middle Eastern and Eastern worlds (philosophies) and all that lies between, there lies the TRUTH. Gratitude to ALLAH, Thankfulness to ALLAH, and Petitioning ALLAH for HIS MERCY and FORGIVENESS while asking for APPROVED AND BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE to improve one’s nearness to truthful behavior and correct understanding under the banner of SINCERETY is the correct ticket for SALVATION IF the person really TRUSTS his CREATOR and therefore shows a goodly form of PATIENCE.
Today, in modern times, the world is being broken into lots and lots of conflicting pieces, desires, wants and needs.
From the article “A Veil of Tears” {with some adaptations}
‘The times are growing not only shorter but also more complicated resulting in civilization’s lack of real heartfelt humanity and understanding. Part of the problem lies in the fractioning of society into many different and often competing layers whereas each layer features its own ideology (the science of ideas and the studying them as to their origin and nature).
Is the origin that we base our society on coming from a credible source like a Holy Book (religion) or from sociological invention (social values which equals someone’s philosophy like socialism, communism or sexual status, for example)? However, when thinking deeply about such things, the term ideology can often be replaced by the term idiot-ology or the science of and for IDIOTS.
Idiot-ology can give one nothing but grief, hard feelings and the loss of our, true by birthright, moral compass. Just look at the terrorist organizations and their supporting ‘goons’ who lack the mental capacity to understand right from wrong and lack the moral capacity to implement the virtues of patience, understanding and wisdom. And that is only one very small insignificant part of this disease.’
Not only is society multi-dimensional but it is also multi-layered in a somewhat cohesive though broken down mass of an incongruent mess barely functioning but saved from drastic deterioration by the rule of law.
The similitude to this would be the way gravity reacts to an object in space. For example, the closer an object is to say, the planet Jupiter; the greater the effects of gravity on that object. So, the closer to the SOURCE we are; the more meaningful the effects that SOURCE will have on that object.
The OBJECT here is US or the human race and the gravitational pull becomes more noticeable when we are closer to that SOURCE. The SOURCE here is proclaimed by most knowledgeable people as that which contains the ‘LIFE GIVING WATERS’ or spiritual welfare of the real and ONLY real purpose of being alive – obedience to GOD resulting in an Eternal Life in a Blissful state/Paradise or a life of comfort and splendid ease that will last forever and ever with no decay without pain or blemish!
It’s a simple equation really. Without GOD we are nothing but with a GOD life is meaningful ONLY WHEN OBEYING THAT SOURCE WE CALL GOD. And we CANNOT obey that SOURCE by way of magic or wishful thinking but ONLY by way of following a strategic plan that HE set forth – NOT US BUT WHAT HE SET FORTH. That strategic plan came down from above and was shown to us by actions, deeds and words ONLY FROM CHOSEN MESSENGERS APPOINTED FOR THAT TASK AND KNOWN TO US AS THE PROPHETS.
The best of knowledge entered in by way of written material, hence the Holy written records and the reason for this is that any ‘written declaration’ can be checked and cross-checked as to its correctness and completeness. These notions must be READ, UNDERSTOOD IN CONTEXT and APPLIED NOT PUT ON A SHELF AND FORGOTTEN OR ALLOW OTHERS TO LET US FORGET. Instruction by verbal messages may last for a century or so in its revealed purity but a thing called ‘corruption’ usually seeps in to taint the message as can be found out when discussing, for example, the New Testament in truth.
The great Abrahamic traditional religions, each to its own subsistence, swore to keep, protect, defend and incorporate through action its God-given gifts (records) because each ‘anointed’ pathway for salvation must be given to subsequent generations and those desiring to enter that faith so that faith would not wane amongst its followers especially since the world of the senses, as found on Earth, is quite intoxicating to the human race. However, suspicious jealousies, pride and the fear of losing or sharing GRACE caused many to stumble and become evasive towards GOD. In this way, a fool is led to believe that what GOD can’t catch, HE can’t prosecute (send to the Hell-Fire).
Another stumbling block came from ‘evil’ men who chose to corrupt the sanctity of the scriptures for nefarious ends which led many astray. And it was easy to lead people astray IF these people were NOT well-grounded in their religious beliefs! To counteract this, people have been told to go back to the best case originals and seek out a lucid explanation that can be agreed upon.
Yet another stumbling block, and a major one at that, comes from the notion that GOD should follow our whims (likes and dislikes) that have made us comfortable, be respectful of our desires and let us walk all over HIS creations in effect making us HIS master and HIM our servant! So when we come across something that would rattle our corrupt logic, we can shake it off as insignificant and continue life without the least bit of earnest thought.
*And remember ALLAH took a Covenant from the People of the Book to make it known and CLEAR to mankind and NOT TO HIDE IT; but they threw it away behind their backs and purchased with it some miserable {worldly} gain! And VILE was the bargain they made! Q (3: 187)
For those, too, who call themselves Christians, WE did take a Covenant, but they forgot a good part of the Message that was sent to them: So WE stirred up enmity and hatred between one and the other {to fight and squabble amongst themselves}, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will ALLAH show them what it is they have done. Q (5: 14)
Oh People of the Book {Jews, Christians and Muslims}, don’t go to extremes in your religion, AND do not say about GOD except the Truth {that GOD is especially only for you or that HE has begotten a son}. Indeed, the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary is the Messenger of God, HIS Word revealed on Mary, and a spirit sent from Him” so believe in ALLAH and {ALL of} HIS MESSENGERS… Q (4: 171)
They say; “become Jews or Christians if you would be guided (to salvation).” Say; “NO! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham the TRUE {TRUTHFUL} and he did not join gods with ALLAH.
Say: “We believe in ALLAH and the revelation given to us and {the revelation} given to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (ALL) Prophets from their LORD: We do not make any difference between them {as to them being the bearers of TRUTH} and we submit to ALLAH.
So IF they believe as you believe {in the criterion mentioned above} they are truly on the Right Pathway; but if they turn back {to a partial, corrupted belief system}, it is they themselves who are in schism; but ALLAH will suffice you as against them and HE is the ALL-HEARING, the ALL-KNOWING. Q (2: 135-137) & {Acts (3: 22-23)}
They are truly on the Right Pathway IF they follow that criterion laid out by the Quran but to what extent they can move on that pathway will be determined by their LORD, not by themselves nor from others! The willingness or desire to advance on that pathway even by minor steps is also in the hands of their LORD.
*And remember ALLAH took a Covenant from the People of the Book to make it known and CLEAR to mankind and NOT TO HIDE IT; but they threw it away behind their backs and purchased with it some miserable {worldly} gain! And VILE was the bargain they made! Q (3: 187)
The important thing to remember is that due to corruption and jealousies among other things, the People of the Book (Jews and Christians in this case) went and ‘hid’ the truth about the eventual coming of a NEW TRANSITION, NEW PROPHET to come to INSTITUTE A NEW but COMPLETED WAY ACTING AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN MANKIND AND THEIR CREATOR LORD.
Some examples of their nefarious attempts at concealing the real truth as to the evolutionary path of prophetic religion to follow or that which will come in the future is presented below.
The Scepter {STANDARD OF RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP} shall NOT depart from Judah {the Children of Israel} NOR a LAWGIVER from between his feet UNTIL SHILOH COMES; AND TO HIM SHALL THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE {UNDER HIS BANNER – THE BANNER OF TRUE FAITH – ISLAM}. Genesis (49: 10)
And there shall come forth a rod OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE** {JESSE MEANING ISHMAEL THE ARAB, THE BRETHERN OF THE JEWS} and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Isaiah (11: 1-2). **Encyclopaedia Biblica, Rev. T. K. Cheyne D.Litt D.D., J. Sutherland Black M.A. LL.D., Vol. 3, under “Names,” p. 3292, item 52.
For then I will turn to the people a PURE LANGUAGE that they may call upon the name of the LORD worshiping HIM standing shoulder to shoulder.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia MY suppliants, even the daughter of MY dispersed, shall bring MY offering. Zephaniah (3: 9-10)
For Moses truly said to the fathers, “A Prophet shall the LORD your GOD raise up unto you of {from} your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear in ALL THINGS whatsoever he shall say to you {from his reception of REVELATION and his discourses (Sunnah)}.
And it shall come to pass {as a judgment on the people in this kingdom belonging to the Messiah} that every soul {raised up}, which will NOT HEAR {NOT OBEY THE RULES LAID DOWN BY THAT PROPHET}, SHALL BE DESTROYED FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE.” Acts (3: 22-23)
Also John 16: (7-14) and many other verses which I have already touched upon in my writings prove that the truth about Islam can be found in the previous scriptures. What does this prove? It is a direct and irrefutable proof for two things that are readily apparent to an honest individual:
- 1. The interpreters of the RECORDS, the so-called ‘honesty’ of the scholars were corrupted in that they DID NOT MAKE IT KNOWN TO MANKIND RATHER THEY HID THIS KNOWLEDGE BEHIND THEIR BACKS IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE AND ENRICH THEMSELVES. THESE CROOKS BASICALLY DID THIS SO THAT THEY WOULD BE HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE.
Then spoke Jesus to the multitude and to his disciples.
Saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat {as authorities over the people}.
Saying, “All therefore whatsoever they bid you to observe {from the original commandments handed down by Moses (pbh)} that observe and do; but do not {do} after their works {their takanot meaning in the Hebraic Language their reforms, innovations)}: for they say {and like hypocrites} do not {do}. Matthew (23: 1-3)
- 2. THE PEOPLE BECAME ENAMORED WITH THEIR SELF-IMPORTANCE IN RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR LORD AND WERE SO DEEMED SELFISH FOR ‘SELF-LOVE’ THAT THEY WILLINGLY BUT FALSELY ENJOYED PROMINENT FEELINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES AS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR CREATOR. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLINTARILY WERE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE INTERPRETERS OF THE RECORDS DEEMING THESE THINGS TO BE PLEASING TO THE LORD AND THEY TOOK THEIR LEADERS AS LIKE ONE WHO IS IN GOD’S HEART.
THEY TAKE THEIR PRIESTS AND THEIR ANCHORITES TO BE THEIR LORDS {GUIDING LORDS NOT TO BE QUESTIONED ON RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS} BESIDES ALLAH. AND (THEY TAKE AS THEIR LORD) CHRIST JESUS THE SON OF MARY; YET THEY WERE COMMANDED TO WORSHIP BUT {THE ONE AND ONLY} GOD: THERE IS NO GOD BUT HIM. PRAISE AND GLORY TO HIM: (FAR IS HE) FROM HAVING THE PARTNERS THEY ASSCOCIATE (WITH HIM). Q (9: 31)
As we have learned from the Quran there is a mystery to this fruitless activity which we do not have to know but that we accept such that some people are NOT sincere in their heart for the truth and remain deaf, dumb and blind to being enlightened. And that is ENFORCED by ALLAH such that a ‘judged faulty heart’ will NOT be allowed to come to the REALITY in TRUTH at any time UNLESS ALLAH WILLS IT!
Because people are so into themselves (a form of selfishness) as being IN THEIR CORRUPT EYES HIGHLY BLESSED AND HIGHLY THOUGHT OF AS SUPERIOR HUMAN BEINGS, THEY CAN BE EASILY LED INTO CORRUPT THINKING AND CORRUPT WORSHIP. An example of this is the common thought about the return of the Jews to the Holy Land at the end of time (this age).
As was said before, the vast majority of the ‘return’ verses in the Bible deal with the ‘VARIOUS PEOPLES OF THE HUMAN RACE’ DRAWN TO THE AWAKENINGS OF THE TRUTH IN RELIGIOUS WORSHIP. So, this is NOT about Zionism, which is a corrupt form of Judaism, NOR does it follow the ‘born again’ school of thought insisting with their Zionistic partners that Islam must go away or be somehow eliminated.
The word ‘ISRAEL’ proper can be defined in part by these verses from the Quran:
Say: “We believe in ALLAH and the revelation given to us and {the revelation} given to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (ALL) Prophets from their LORD: We do not make any difference between them {as to them being the bearers of TRUTH} and we submit to ALLAH.
So IF they believe as you believe {in the criterion mentioned above} they are truly on the Right Pathway; but if they turn back {to a partial, corrupted belief system}, it is they themselves who are in schism; but ALLAH will suffice you as against them and HE is the ALL-HEARING, the ALL-KNOWING. Q (2: 136-137)
They are truly on the Right Pathway but to what extent they can move on that pathway will be determined by their LORD, not by themselves nor from others! The willingness or desire to advance on that pathway even by small steps is also from their LORD.
Religion is NOT their prerogative to anoint whoever they choose AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN AND PREFERED THEMSELVES ABOVE OTHERS AND ABOVE THE WORD OF GOD IN THEIR LOFTY ARROGANCE. It is their choice to partition for themselves the best places of Paradise as if they were gods grabbing only the best for themselves. These people are called, because they were given excellence in the past, the CHILDREN OF PROMISE OR CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM BUT LOOK WHAT SCRIPTURE HAS STATED ABOUT THEM:
And I say to you, “That many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.
But THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE CAST OUT INTO OUTER DARKNESS: THERE SHALL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. Matthew (8: 11-12)
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and ALL the prophets in the Kingdom of GOD and YOU YOURSELVES {WILL BE} THRUST OUT. Luke (13: 28)
Their own Holy Book declares it so! And they will fight tooth and nail against rhyme or reason to maintain the status quo! The speaker of these verses is Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) and he is talking about the Jews (the Pharisees – the modern day Zionists and their lackeys) as they looked upon him as a traitor to their GOD.
But as we can see in the following verses that what ALLAH has maintained from the beginning as to the ‘long and ancient road travelled by man’ that HE, being also known by some as the ‘Fisher of men’ (collector of souls) WILL NOT NOR IS INCAPEABLE OF LOSING A SINGLE SOUL THAT HE HAS PROMISED PARADISE!!! IN NO WAY CAN THERE BE FOUND IMPERFECTION AMONGST HIS MOST PERFECT DECREES!
So in the Last Days there will be drawn men and women towards the FAITH no matter their dwelling place or habitation or their old belief system. Their eyes will become open (as to the nature and extent that ALLAH has permitted) and will understand! They also shall come forth from their entombment which in one sense is their ‘grave of ignorance’ as well as being also resurrected from their ‘other’ physical grave as time goes by.
The only question is, ‘do they pop up from the ground covered in sticky soil being mostly naked’ or will they be born again (resurrected) as newborns and breaking forth from the grave that has held them back from enjoying the Blessed Fruits of the Kingdom led by the TRULY ISLAMIC MESSIAH – ISA BIN MIRIAM AND AIDED BY THE MAHDI AND OTHERS APPOINTED FOR THAT KINGDOM! YOU BE THE JUDGE!
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE {NO MORE TO INHERIT THE CRIME OF BINDING SIN THAT BINDS THE SOUL TO THAT CORRUPT BODY} AND SOME TO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT. Daniel 13 (12: 2)*
*This is the first kingdom on EARTH after the Anti-christ and Gog and Magog have been destroyed and led by the TRUE MESSIAH Isa bin Miriam. Then Jesus must die after his marriage and having children. Then he shall be buried along with the Prophet (pbh) which is a very, great honor.
This kingdom will last as long as ALLAH WILLS and it will feature 12 Caliphs from the Arab line of Makkah decent. Then comes that sweet wind the Prophet (pbh) talked about and the Quran will be lifted up from the Earth and another kingdom shall arise which will be composed of people acting like ‘wild beasts’ or worse.
Then will come the destruction of the Kabbah and finally ALL things will die such that not one living man will be left alive on Earth. Then after some time, only known by ALLAH, will ALL humans be raised up from their tailbones to face Judgement and that what was promised mankind – Hell-Fire or Paradise Rank upon Rank!
Daniel 13 (12: 2), like so many verses found in the Holy Books, deals with TIME and one CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT measure time as in when one thing happens, the split second after that the other thing will happen! A great example of this is when some hadith would mention Jesus (pbh) killing the Anti-christ and then of course he will die and be buried with the Prophet and then be lifted up together with Prophet Muhammad (pbh)!
All of this is true but it does not happen in a few days for Jesus will live to be in his 70s before death overtakes him {he will come down as he went up at 33 years of age and live for 43 more years on earth} and before his death he will be married and have children.
Nor can we say with 100% surety that we know ALL the definitions of the ‘GRAVE’. However, our faith allows us to put a surety in the FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF and TRUTH in our LORD that we need not waste our time in pursuing that which is not all that beneficial for us or even necessary for our knowledge or salvation!!!!!!
However, understanding gives us much so that we are NOT enticed into foolish beliefs or have weakness in our faith by seeing unreality and then wobble in faith by believing that it is reality. As to the soul being reborn at this time for a partial Judgement:
Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say to you, except a man be born again, he cannot {go on to} see the Kingdom of GOD. John (3: 3)
Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say to you, except a man be born of water {from the womb} and of Spirit {the Only Pathway accepted by ALLAH in Christ’s kingdom is Islam}, he CANNOT enter into the Kingdom of GOD**.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh {water being the woman’s womb}; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John (3: 5-6) {If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (i.e., Submission to ALLAH) it will NEVER BE ACCEPTED of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have LOST Q (3: 85)}.
Let us now look at some choice verses from the Old Testament declaring the REAL ISRAEL:
And I will bring out from the people and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. Ezekiel (20: 34)
For I will take you from among the heathen {the disbelievers/the unclean} and gather you out of all countries and will bring you into your own land.
Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you and YOU SHALL BE CLEAN from all your filthiness {MISBEHAVIOURS} and from all your idols, I will cleanse you.
A NEW HEART also I will give you and a NEW SPIRIT will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh {REVIVED AND AWAKENED BY SPIRITUAL TRUTH}.
And I will put MY Spirit {THE CORRECT DEEN OR RELGION} within you and cause you to walk in MY statues {LAWS} and you shall keep MY judgments and do them {OBEY ME FAITHFULLY}.
And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers {so long ago the land that Abraham saw in his vision which stretched mighty far in all directions}; and you shall be MY people and I WILL BE YOUR GOD. Ezekiel (36: 24-28)
Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and will bless you; for unto you and unto your seed I will give ALL THESE COUNTRIES AND I WILL PERFORM THE OATH WHICH I SWORE UNTO ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER;
AND I WILL MAKE YOUR SEED TO MULTIPLY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND WILL GIVE UNTO YOUR SEED ALL THESE COUNTRIES; AND IN YOUR SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF EARTH BE BLESSED. Genesis (26: 3-4)
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants to whom YOU swore by YOUR OWN SELF and said unto them, “I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed and they shall inherit it forever.” Exodus (32: 13)
And they shall say, “This land that was desolate is become like the Garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced and are inhabited. Ezekiel (36: 35)
But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to MY people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. Ezekiel (36: 8)
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says the LORD GOD; “Behold O MY people, I will OPEN YOUR GRAVES and cause you TO COME UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES and bring you into the land of Israel {the lands of promise}.” Ezekiel (37: 12)
And I will make them ONE NATION {in agreement with each other as in ONE FAITH} in the land upon the mountains of Israel: and ONE KING {THE MESSIAH JESUS THE SON OF MARY} shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations {priest class and the others}, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and WILL CLEANSE THEM: so shall they be MY people and I will be their GOD. Ezekiel (37: 22-23)
Since you were precious in MY sight, you have been honorable and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee and people for thy life.
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
I will say to the north, give up; and to the south, keep not back: bring my sons {THOSE WORTHY OF SALVATION} from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
Even everyone that is called by MY NAME {WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE}; for I have created him {the son of Adam} for my glory, I have formed him: yea, I have made him {WITH MY OWN HANDS}… Isaiah (43: 4-7)
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside ME there is NO SAVIOR. Isaiah (43: 11)
This people {those appointed for salvation} I have formed for MYSELF; they shall shew forth MY PRAISE {as directed by the LAST PROPHET}. Isaiah (43: 21)
**So we don’t know the mysteries but we don’t have to deal with anything that was NOT GIVEN. But what was given us is that many men in the past were pure:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari (R.A.A): Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W) said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Maryam (Mary), the daughter of ‘Imran, and Asiya, the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh). And the superiority of Aishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e., an Arabic dish) to other meals.” (Bukhari)
However, ALLAH has given us a chance to be redeemed in this life even though we are not of the illustrious ones of the forgotten past by purifying us (after hard won victories) in this world under the blessed kingdom to come – a type of Garden of Eden in this world:
And they shall say, “This land that was desolate is become like the Garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced and are inhabited. Ezekiel (36: 35):
And the land of the Arabs in that day will be verdant with lush green vegetation and a land of many rivers and springs and a pomegranate’s skin (Roemaan fruit) will be enough to use as a tent for a family to cover them with shade and the milk from a single goat will feed many, many people; and BEFORE THIS CHANGE a man will walk around as if in a drunken state though he will NOT be drunk or a man will roll around on his friend’s grave as if he could will himself to be in the grave instead of or in place of his friend due to the dire circumstances and the destruction/vast deterioration of his cities and country and his horror of facing the Anti-christ {this paragraph was adapted from several hadiths concerning future events}.
What is with you must vanish: What is with ALLAH will endure. And WE will REWARD those who practice fortitude according to their best deeds.
Whosoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, provided he is a believer, WE will certainly GRANT HIM TO LIVE A PURE LIFE IN THIS WORLD and WE will reward such people (in the Hereafter) according to their best deeds. Quran (16: 96-97)
And the PURE LIFE can be led in that KINGDOM given to the Messiah, Christ Jesus (pbh) which is called in English the Messianic Age and which will feature the PURE ISLAM as was given to the Prophet Muhammad (pbh) minus that one Sunnah which is the collection of the Jizyah or tax on non-Muslims because quite simply there will NOT BE ANY NON-MUSLIMS LEFT!
And there is NONE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK BUT MUST BELIEVE IN HIM (JESUS) BEFORE HIS DEATH AND ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT HE WILL BE A WITNESS AGAINST THEM {THOSE WHO HAD PRACTICED DECIET}. Q (4: 159)
Before this, WE wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): “My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth.”
Verily in this (Quran) is a message for people who would (truly) worship Allah. Quran (21: 105-106)
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matt. (5: 5)
The Holy Records are INDEED ONE!
