{أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِي حَاجَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي رَبِّهِ أَنْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا أُحْيِي وَأُمِيتُ ۖ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} (البقرة:258)


إنّ هذه الآيةَ الكريمةَ بُرهانٌ قاطعٌ على تفرُّدِ اللهِ سبحانَه بالخلقِ والتَّدْبِيرِ والإحيـــاءِ والإماتةِ، ويَلْزَمُ منْ ذلكَ أنْ يُفْرَدُ بالعبادةِ والإنابةِ والتَوَكُّلِ عليهِ، ومنْ ثمَّ الاحتكامِ إلى أمرِه ِوشرعِهِ، لأنَّهُ الحَيُّ الذي لا يموتُ. فهو الذي يَسْتَحِقُّ أنْ يُعبدَ، أما الحيُّ الذي يموتُ لا يَصْلُحُ أنْ يكونَ ربًّا ولا إِلهًا أبداً.

{أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ وَهُمْ أُلُوفٌ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ مُوتُوا ثُمَّ أَحْيَاهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ} (البقرة:243)


ينبغِي أنْ نعبدَ الله وحدَهُ، ونتوكَّلُ عليهِ وحدَه، ونحتكِمُ إلى أمرِهِ وشرعِهِ وحده، ففي هذا الخيرُ والسعادة ُالأبديَّةُ في الدُنيا والآخرةِ.
 وفي هذه الآية دليل قاطع على:
أنَّهُ لا إلهَ بحقٍ إلا اللهُ، هو الذي يملكُ الإحياءَ والإماتةَ، فكيفَ نخافُ غيرَهُ؟!! وكيفَ نَخضعُ لسواهُ؟!!
وأنَّهُ الإلهُ الذي يُقدِّرُ الأقدارَ.
وأنَّهُ لا ملجأَ من اللهِ إلاَّ إليهِ، فمَا شاءَ كانَ ومالمْ يشأْ لمْ يكُنْ، وهو الفعَّالُ لما يريدُ.


هؤلاءِ القومُ فرُّوا من الموتِ، فعاملَهُم اللهُ بعكسِ ما أرادُوا؛ فأَمَاتهم اللهُ كلَّهُم، ثُم أحياهم جميعاً هكذا بكلمة واحدة.

{أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ} (يس:77)


إنَّ اللهَ خلقَ الإنسانَ لغايةٍ واحدةٍ، ووظيفةٍ واحدةٍ، وهي عبادته وحدَهُ دون شريك؛ ومنْ لمْ يُحقِّقْ هذه الغايةَ أصبحَ بلا غايةٍ وبلا وظيفةٍ.
هذه العبادةُ التي يُريدُها الله سبحانه بمفهومها الصحيح، العبادة التي تَعْني طاعةَ المعبودِ سبحانَهُ وتعالى في كلِّ شأنٍ من شُؤونِ الحياةِ صغيرِها وكبيرِها، وأن يكونَ الناسُ عباداً لله في كُلِّ حَركةٍ وكلِّ سَكنةٍ وكُلِّ شعورٍ. إذًا، لا يجوزُ لهذا الكائنِ ولا يحقُّ له أنْ يتجاوزَ هذا الحدِّ، حدَّ العبوديَّةِ للِه الواحدِ الأحدِ، ولا يخاصمُ ولا يجادلُ ولا يجحدُ، وإلا فهي خسارةٌ في الدارينِ. هذه ھي غایة وجودِ الإنسانِ ، وھذه ھي وظیفتُه .

{أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ: أَنَّىٰ يُحْيِي هَٰذِهِ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۖ؟!! …} (البقرة:259)


وفي نهايةِ تلك السلسلةِ المُباركةِ.. لا شكَّ أنَّ هذه الحياةُ قصيرةٌ وأنَّنَا جميعًا سنموتُ وننْتَقِلُ إلى الدارِ الآخرةِ، ولا نَلْقَى إلاَّ ما قدَّمْنَاهُ؛ فإنْ وجدنا خيراً فلْنحمدِ اللهَ وإنْ وجدنا غيرَ ذلك فلا نلومَنَّ إلا أنفسَنا. والله عزَّ وجل سائِلُنا عن الوظيفةِ التي خلقنا من أجلِها، والمَهمةِ التي أوكلَها إلينا؛ وهي عبادتُه سبحانه وحدَه بلا شريك. وعن عهدهِ الذي عهدَه إلينا في قوله سبحانه: ﴿أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ۞ وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ﴾ (يس:60-61) , فهل حفظنا هذا العهدَ أم ضيعناهُ واتَّبعنا أهواءنا وترَكنا شرعَ ربِنا ونبذناهُ وراءَ ظهورِنا؟ هل رددنا إحسانَ اللهِ إلينا أم كفرنا بنعمتهِ علينا؟ هل نحيَّنا شرعَه سبحانه جانباً واستبدلناه بشرع العبيد؟!!

The Quran Asks – Episode 27 – The Matters of Life and Death (3/5)

Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who fled their homes in the thousands for fear of death?1 Allah said to them, “Die!” then He gave them life. Surely Allah is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most people are ungrateful. (Surah Al-Baqarah - 243).

We should worship Allah alone, rely on Him alone, and resort to His command and law alone, for in this there is eternal goodness and happiness in this world and the hereafter. In this verse, there is conclusive evidence that there is no true god but Allah. He is the one who has the power to give life and death. So how can we fear anyone other than Him, and how can we submit to anyone other than Him? He is the God who determines destinies and there is no refuge from Allah except in Him. Whatever He wills happens and what He does not will does not happen, does what He wants.

Does man not see that We have created him of a sperm drop. Yet behold he (stands forth) as an open opponent. (Surah Yasin - 77).

Whoever does not achieve this objective becomes without a purpose and a job; this is the worship that Allah Almighty wants in its correct sense from man. This worship means obedience to Allah Almighty in every matter of life, big and small, and for people to be servants of Allah in every movement, every stillness, and every feeling, so their worship is based not only on devotional and rituals alone but on beliefs, values, concepts, considerations, and intentions, it is also based on morals, behaviors, transactions, legislation and laws and also in social, economic, educational, and other life systems. 

Therefore, it is not permissible for this human being to go beyond the limits of servitude to the One and Only God, nor to quarrel, argue, or deny; otherwise, it is a loss in both worlds. This is the purpose of man's existence and his function.

Or ˹are you not aware of˺ the one who passed by a city which was in ruins. He wondered, “How could Allah bring this back to life after its destruction?” So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years then brought him back to life. Allah asked, “How long have you remained ˹in this state˺?” He replied, “Perhaps a day or part of a day.” Allah said, “No! You have remained here for a hundred years! Just look at your food and drink—they have not spoiled. ˹But now˺ look at ˹the remains of˺ your donkey! And ˹so˺ We have made you into a sign for humanity. And look at the bones ˹of the donkey˺, how We bring them together then clothe them with flesh!” When this was made clear to him, he declared, “˹Now˺ I know that Allah is Most Capable of everything.” (Surah Al-Baqarah - 259)

Have we kept this covenant, or have we lost it and followed our own desires and abandoned the law of our Lord and cast it behind our backs? Have we returned Allah’s benevolence to us and disbelieved in His grace upon us? Have we set aside the law of Allah Almighty and replaced it with the law of slaves?

Worship is Only to Allah 1

Episode 1 of "Worship is to Allah only" underscores the importance of recognizing Allah’s supreme position and the concept of worshiping Him alone. The episode delves into the meaning of 'ubudiya' as devotion with humility, submission, and obedience, emphasizing that humans are created to worship Allah through actions and words that are pleasing to Him. It challenges the narrow interpretation of worship as mere rituals, extending it to encompass every aspect of life in accordance with Allah’s laws. Through the teachings of the Quran and the Messenger of Allah, it is clarified that true worship involves not only obeying Allah’s commands but also a deep love for Him and His Messenger, integrating loyalty and obedience. The episode concludes by reinforcing the message that worship is about lovingly surrendering to Allah in all life matters, a principle taught by all of Allah’s Messengers.

Worship is Only to Allah 1

All praise be to Allah alone, and His peace and blessings be on the final Messenger, Muhammad.
We – The Proclaimers of The Truth – call humanity to the Ultimate Truth that had been initially declared by many great Messengers of Allah such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, John, and Muhammad, may peace be upon them all. This call is none other than “Worship no one but Allah.”
Worshiping Allah is submitting and surrendering to Allah alone, with love and devotion, in all aspects of our lives, and rejecting all others who wish to lord over mankind. Worshiping Allah is the greatest honor for mankind, as it elevates him to the highest degree of dignity, well-being, and self-actualization. The way to worship Allah, Islam, has been revealed to us in the Quran, as well as the teachings of the last Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him. Islam is the Truth, and the Divine Religion sent as a mercy to humanity, to ease our lives and honor us.
Mankind today is in great misery because it is enslaved by many lords, including selfish desires, lusts, and some elitist men who claim to have authority over others, whereas all authority and sovereignty belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Therefore, salvation both in this life and the Hereafter can only be through turning to Allah and worshiping Him exclusively by following the path of Muhammad, peace be upon him.
We – The Proclaimers of The Truth – are obligated to announce this Truth and guide humanity to the light of Allah. We undertake this great responsibility, with great love and compassion toward humanity, in order to guide them towards the correct path, without desiring any reward or gratitude.
We are obligated to so for the following reasons: 1. We sincerely want what is good for all the people and we are deeply concerned about their misery in this life and the horrible punishment that awaits them in the Hereafter; 2. All Muslims, who understand Islam properly, are charged with the duty, by Allah, to invite people to Islam, and to establish Islam in their lives, community and society. Thus, we fear the anger of our Lord, if we conceal this knowledge and this call of Truth from the people.
