People Acts Alike Blind and Over-whelmed with their Wishes During the Life-span (Part V)

It is narrated about the prophets that they are like the rest of mankind who used to eat, drink, sleep, move around streets as presented in V-25:20,”And We never sent before you (O Muhammad) any of the Messengers but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything”. Like ordinary people but they should not be associated with the Divine power as the Creator is immortal, Provider to all and has demarcation from all the creatures. He has no wife or children, and is independent in the universe is stated in V-23:91,” No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any?ilah?(god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!”

Even the Holy last Prophet warned his companions and follower concerning his own status in the accountability process on the Day of Judgment in V-46:9,”Say (O Muhammad):"I am not a new thing among the Messengers (of Allah) (i.e. I am not the first Messenger) nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am but a plain warner."

Moreover, it is stated in V-23:66-67,” Indeed My Verses used to be recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels (denying them, and with hatred to listen to them).?In pride (they Quraish pagans and polytheists of Makkah used to feel proud that they are the dwellers of Makkah sanctuary?Haram), talking evil about it (the Qur'an) by night.”

As certain people do not learn from the Ayat of the Qur’an, rebel and make stories about His children, so facts are revealed to warn such people in V-23:78-80,” Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars. And it is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered back. And it is He Who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?”

Allah has revealed His authenticity and demarcation from any human beings and creatures in the universe. So, it is repeatedly warned to correct the misconception about having any children or family, such as in V-23:91-92,”?No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any?ilah?(god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him! All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they associate as partners to Him!”

People are reminded that only He has created the whole universe, no one else can do so as it is only their assumptions that idols, saints, prophet can do so as they are all dependent on Him. Those who believe in the process of accountability after death remain cautious and control their self from sins, evil deeds, and extremes in life. The Provider has set rules of justice and each one will individually face Him on the Day of Judgment for the accountability process of awards of his deeds in his life-span. So, it is ridiculous to imagine and look for life provisions and children from any other source than the belief in monotheism. V-23:90-91,” Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.?No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any?ilah?(god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!”

Despite human evils, Allah is generous as He will judge a person according to his capacity or limitations, V-23:62-63,”And We tax not any person except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged. Nay, but their hearts are covered (blind) from understanding this (the Qur'an), and they have other (evil) deeds, besides, which they are doing.”

Historically almost in all the religions, certain holy people were empowered as gifted to help, guide and create harmony and peace in the community. Later on, these people were corrupted by the masses who expected from them extra-human and supernatural powers to resolve their personal issues and losses. Therefore, after the saints’ deaths, people associated them with God by ignoring to practice the right path and rather used their shrine as a source of provisions in life. They take the crooked religious mongers as agents of Divine power for forgiveness of sins and entering paradise through contributing funds.

As a result of afore-mentioned concepts, sectarian differences appeared among one of the groups who acclaimed themselves a privileged class among the masses, which is chosen for paradise and hellfire would not touch them. The concept of that saint/prophet taking the burden of their follower became so popular that people became free to do all types of evil in society as they would be free of sins by confessing to religious privileged class and be purified of the guilt, sin, etc. It is interesting to add that in the human court of justice, each one is accounted and punished according to a set law, and no other person can take the burden of other, but according to their wishful thinking, the Divine is subjective, can easy be manipulated and in the law of justice and law of nature, He is bound to follow the will of His own creatures.

As it is an easy task, people left the right path and prescribed guidelines of life and put their full energy into making fortune by hook or crook means without caring for the discipline, justice or others’ human rights. This is the present picture of advanced civilized society where religion has become a business and fashion, ill-practices by the preachers and followers make it a popular religious trend without following the obligatory practices and moral, ethical and social rights. Such religious cults have a social, political hold on the masses as they often manipulate situations for their personal benefit, no one can cross-question them or correct them due to their aggressive techniques to create chaos in a society.

It is psychologically observed that certain religious people have turned religion a business to derail the simple followers along complicated sermons and books, leading to rituals and mental malfunctioning. There are popular books for short-cut ways to enter paradise, extremes in extra prayers beyond capacity leading to mental derailments, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety, and depression just to equate oneself with the prophets or privileged ones, rituals like chilla, rehabs like tarek dunyia, etc. Despite all, He is generous with justice as all the mankind will be rewarded according to its deeds, V-46:18-19,” They are those against whom the Word (of torment) is justified among the previous generations of jinns and mankind that have passed away. Verily! They are ever the losers.?And for all, there will be degrees according to that which they did, that He (Allah) may recompense them in full for their deeds. And they will not be wronged.”

Costly religious literature that creates anxiety and depression are introduced in the semi-educated people with Qur’anic verses of punishment, and instead ignoring the gracious forgiveness to Muslims on repenting over correction presented in the Qur’an. Moreover, lists of great, ideal Muslims are given to copy these unachievable ideals without realizing the capacity of mankind who are already confronted with modern media attractions. It has become the main source of increasing a severe inner fight between the human evil spirit and the good self to control. Clinically, it leads to obsession compulsions, insomnia and severe fantasies leading to complexes. The tragedy is that those who preach like this are mostly caught red-handed in sexual scandals and sexual crimes in the mohalla/neighborhood, but are covered up and concealed in the name of Islam.
