Mr. Aziz Ahmed
As usual a very thought provoking
reply to Javed Chaudhry. Here is the answer from the
Quran to your question,
How come then, one may
ask, so many cooks, chefs and master chefs have not
been able to get this recipe right? Is it that the
ingredients that were used in the original recipe
and the conditions under which the dish was first
prepared are not available any more or is it that
the cooks are not using the right quantities given
in the recipe? Adding too much salt and hot pepper?
Or is it that all the cooks, chefs and master chefs
have been consistently lousy?
Recipe says: Quran tells
muslims not to associate anyone (shirk) with God.
They consistently mention Muhammad alongside God,
even in their prayers and azan.
[39:45] When GOD ALONE
is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe
in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when
others are mentioned beside Him,
they become satisfied
[40:10] Those who disbelieve will
be told, "GOD's abhorrence towards you is even worse
than your own abhorrence towards yourselves. For you
were invited to believe, but you chose to
disbelieve."
40:11] They will say, "Our Lord,
you have put us to death twice,* and You gave us two
lives; now we have confessed our sins. Is there any
way out?"
40:12] This is because when
GOD ALONE was advocated, you disbelieved,
but when others were mentioned beside Him,
you believed. Therefore, GOD's judgment has been
issued; He is the Most High, the Great
Stubborness - they think
they are following the recipe
[6:22] On the day when we summon
them all, we will ask the idol worshipers, "Where
are the idols you set up?"
6:23] Their disastrous response
will be, "By GOD our Lord, we never were idol
worshipers."*
[6:24] Note how they lied to
themselves, and how the idols they had invented
have abandoned them.
The muslims do not
believe they are committing idol worship when they
clearly are doing it en masse.
But the recipe has been
completely messed up in their minds. The correct
recipe is withheld until they smarten up.(if they
smarten up)
[17:45] When you read the Quran, we
place between you and those who do not believe in
the Hereafter an invisible barrier
[17:46] We place shields around
their minds, to prevent them from understanding it,
and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your
Lord, using the Quran alone,* they run away in
aversion
If they do not
understand the recipe how can they cook the dish?
Indeed, even the prophet
Muhammad will disown the muslims on the Day of
Judgement for not following the recipe
[25:25] The heaven will break
apart, into masses of clouds, and the angels will
descend in multitudes
[25:26] All sovereignty on that day
belongs to the Most Gracious. For the disbelievers,
it will be a difficult day.
[25:27] The day will come when the
transgressor will bite his hands (in anguish) and
say, "Alas, I wish I had followed the path with the
messenger
[25:28] "Alas, woe to me, I wish I
did not take that person as a friend
[25:29] "He has led me away from
the message after it came to me. Indeed, the devil
lets down his human victims."
[25:30] The messenger will say, "My
Lord, my people have deserted this Quran."
Instead of upholding
Quran alone, they uphold Hadith (they mix other
recipes)
[77:50] Which Hadith, other than
this, do they uphold?
That is why Quran tells
us that most people, including most muslims are
going to hell
[36:7] It has been predetermined
that most of them do not believe
[12:103] Most people, no matter
what you do, will not believe
[12:106] The majority of those who
believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol
worship
[68:35] Shall we treat the muslims like the
criminals?
[68:36] What is wrong with your
logic?
68:37] Do you have another book to
uphold?
[68:38] In it, do you find anything
you want?
Clearly Hadith is
singled out as the culprit here. That is the dish
that is produced and presented. God gave them the
recipe (Quran) and they produced the dish (Hadith).
They turned a culinary delight into a recipe for
disaster.
