To us it may look like a contest in the so-called struggles of light versus darkness but in reality the end of those who chose darkness over light has already been determined as ‘The Pens’ have stopped writing. Nobody can get a proper handle on that issue except the CREATOR LORD because of the dynamic variables it contains that are above our human intellect. People of faith just take it for granted.
We find the answers in the Quran in simplified form which basically states why we were created in the first place. Even though it is in simplified form, libraries could be filled with the cause and results of this action by the CREATOR LORD.
I {ALLAH} have only created Jinns and men that they may serve ME. Quran (51:56)
True it is, as long as these reasons or actions do not violate the principles laid down in the Quran. And if these reasons are ALSO found in the other Holy Books, then expanding our knowledge for the purpose of cementing our worship (not glorifying self) is permissible. This is what separates the search for knowledge from the deadly pit of innovative falsehoods!
There is no need to delve too deeply into this issue (beyond the basic truths) unlike some other things because they are not minutely amplified in other scriptures or in the Quran/hadith material.
In a simple version of this proof we can ask ourselves the question: ‘How do we know that there is ONE GOD’? Simply stated: We are told that fact plainly and simply. Some may try to counter this argument by presenting the various thoughts or philosophies that man has brought forward but these thoughts are not concretely based upon ‘sent records’ and therefore theories like the imaginations of men are apt to run wild.
When presented with certain verses, for example, from the Quran and in knowing that ALLAH has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over the universe and what is in it, for example Quran(2:55), (2:62), (2:136), (4:136), (6:59) and the knowledge of other verses like Quran (9:31), the New Testament declaration found in Matthew (15:9) and the Old Testament declaration found in Jerimiah (8:8), we find it easier to trust in these Books over our petty jealousies if one has faith and at the same time can garner up the ability to interpret these sayings correctly while taking into account the greater scheme of things!
A hard and difficult row to hoe for anyone not into being ‘full of self’ or in their own image was the world created!
The meaning for the above verses is clear in that we have a known and visible highway to travel if one doesn’t allow petty and small minded individuals to rob us of our true humanity through their raging jealousies or peculiar limitations. And so mankind, like a veritable rainbow of notions was put here to get to know one another in all of its diversity but also its SINGULARITY in facing up to the fact that we are under ONE GOD and HIS SYSTEM and not ours.
O mankind! WE created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise (each other) {which you often do}. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of ALLAH is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And ALLAH has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). Quran (49:13)
So the results are in and they show that the Eternal Quran is correct concerning a unified message throughout the Holy Books stained only by man’s half-witted attempt at minor forgeries while criminal attempts by man’s perfidy in concealing the truths through CORRUPT DOCTRINE AND A THIEVING INTERPRETATION were made which tended to separate some from the pack! In other words, ‘in our system’ we are held blessed while you are accursed and therefore the GLORY of the KINGDOM is for us only based on a concept which we put into the mouth of our god or our prophet!
Hence, we come back to the Quranic verses (2:55), (2:62), (2:136), (4:136) and (6:59) in showing the idea that ‘see, your version of events was cleverly designed to whitewash your perfidy and corruption which was instituted so you could bask in your own delusional creations and self-made glory while we were, by your false beliefs and standards, shut out from Eternal Bliss’!
And this sting goes directly at those who want to disassociate with others who claim faith! For example, many of the born again Christian types damn people to the Hell-Fire because they don’t follow their special philosophy on GOD. This corruption was one of the reasons why the Spirit of truth was sent!
Not only did this Prophet – Spirit of truth – Muhammad (pbh) come forth to present the ‘real goods’ about religion, he came forth as a blessing for all the worlds:
And when he {this Spirit of truth} has come, he will convict the world of sin, and {discuss the proper manner} of righteousness, and {speak} of Judgment {the Final Hour to come}:
Of sin, because they {really do not believe} in me {except with their tongues only}. John (16:8-9)
WE sent you (Muhammad) only as a Mercy for all creatures. Quran (21:107)
However, the tables are turned and your invented gods have shown how your own betrayal will come back to haunt you in the end!
I {ALLAH} made them not to witness (nor took their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even) their own creation, nor was I to take the misleaders as helpers.
And (remember) the Day HE will say: “Call those (so-called) partners of MINE whom you pretended.” Then they will cry unto them {their false gods/desires}, but they will not answer them, and WE shall put a barrier between them.
And the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners), shall see the Fire and apprehend that they have to fall therein. And they will find no way of escape from there.
And indeed WE have put forth every kind of example in this Qur’an, for mankind. But, man is ever more contentious {quarrelsome} than anything. Quran (18:51-54)
(To) those whose eyes had been under a covering from MY Reminder (this Qur’an), and who could not bear to hear (it).
Do then those who disbelieve think that they can take MY slaves {MY creations} as (lords, gods and protectors) besides ME? Verily, WE have prepared Hell as an entertainment for the disbelievers {who do not give GOD HIS JUST DO}. Quran (18:101-102).
Everything begins with ALLAH and HIS WILL for there is nothing in the heavens or on Earth that gets done without HIS KNOWLEDGE. In saying that, it becomes like a driving force, not as from a dictator but a driving force for just ends and just rewards as HE set from the beginning aligning the Purpose with the Plan and the Plan with the Purpose.
ALLAH is the LIGHT of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of HIS Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! ALLAH does guide whom HE will to HIS Light: ALLAH does set forth Parables for men: and ALLAH does know ALL THINGS. Quran (24:35)
{Can anyone see any defect in the heavens?
Blessed is HE in Whose Hand is the Dominion, and HE is Able to do All Things.
WHO has created death and life, that HE may test which of you is best in deed. And HE is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;
WHO has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look again: “Can you see any rifts?”
Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out. Quran (37:1-4)}
Hence, in one case of understanding, the reproduction of benefits or Baraka (Blessings) as was explained before in the ‘multiplication principle’ (reproduced below) talked about when initiating an acceptable quality or passing one on as to its continual ‘light upon light’ factor becomes more understandable.
An explanation of the ‘multiplication principle’ in Islam:
This is a fantastic principle and make no mistake about it! In the words of Jesus:
Another parable he {Jesus} put forth to them, saying: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a {tiny}mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,
Which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” Matthew (13:31-32)
The multiplication principle can be likened to a good action (acceptable deed in the eyes of ALLAH) which gets rewarded multiple times. For example, when one states (3X) the saying (dhikr) from one of the wives of Prophet Muhammad (pbh) as was told in a hadith by her like so: ‘ALLAH is free from imperfection and I begin with HIS PRAISE as many times as the number of HIS creations, in accordance with HIS GOOD PLEASURE, equal to the weight of HIS THRONE and equal to the ink used in the recording the WORDS FOR HIS PRAISE’.
Upon saying this dhikr, one gets, for example, a Fountain of GRACE. However, the greatness of this miracle reflecting ALLAH’s GREATNESS and MERCY is that the originator and spreader of this saying also shares in the Fountain of ALLAH’s GRACE while another is saying it. An example of this ‘Amazing Grace’ is found in the following hadith:
Abu Huraira reported ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: He who called (people) to righteousness, there would be a reward (assured) for him like the rewards of those who adhered to it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who called (people) to error, he shall have to carry (the burden) of its sin, like those who committed it, without their sins {of the people who followed that error} being diminished in any respect. (Muslim)
So, you get a fountain of abundance and without dilution or lessening of quality the originator gets the same Fountain of GRACE. This now means that one of the Prophet’s wives gets an ocean of GRACE with all the things going back to her which shows her great elevation in being one of the chosen ones for the highest of places in Paradise.
And then that ‘ABUNDANCE’ will go back even further to the one who declared it first and that is Prophet Muhammad (pbh)! So excellence, upon excellence equals EXCELLENCE!!!
To you {Muhammad} WE have granted the Fount (of Abundance)
Therefore to your LORD turn in Prayer and Sacrifice.
For he who hates you, he will be cut off (from Future Hope) Quran (108:1-3)
So, one who recites the above saying gets a fountain of wealth. The originator or the one who passed it on gets that also from every single person equaling a great multiplication as in a veritable ocean of wealth. And then that is further multiplied by still going back to the one who first declared it (Prophet Muhammad)!!!!!
As yet in another example, one can take this and apply it to Isaiah chapter 53 verse 9 and understand that he – Jesus (in the future sense) will be buried with the RICH (in Medina with those 3 blessed Companions – Muhammad, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar)!
And they {people in general} made his grave with the wicked {living amongst the lowly ones}– but with the Rich at his death {when he dies after his return}, because he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Isaiah (53:9) AMEEN!
Multiplication upon multiplication or Light upon Light! That is but one aspect of it!
