This website has been created for all people who have a desire to allow GOD into their lives and follow His path alone...
This website invites all people of various beliefs (Sunni, Shia, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Bahai, Agnostic, Humanist, and even Atheists) to come and examine for themselves the system of Submission/Islam which is based on GOD Alone.
Many of you may outwardly be content with your current faith or that which you inherited from your parents and community...but to some out there, there will always be a tugging at the back of their mind that 'there is something more', and that 'some things don't always make sense'...
If you are one of those people, then open your eyes, put on your thinking cap, and welcome to an open examination of the system of Submission/Islam which very few know about...
Today's Islam.
What about the 1.2Billion people who already know about Islam?.
Well, the bad news for them is that what they know and what they practice is not Islam, but is a different religion which goes by the name of Sunni, Shia, or any other derivative name..
The system of GOD is taught to us through GOD and His messenger as outlined in the Book of GOD (The Quran) which was revealed centuries ago...
The Book claims legitimacy for itself and within itself, allowing NO room for self-made priests, or religious leaders, who misinterpret and misquote the Book of GOD for personal gain...
“Shall I seek other than GOD as a JUDGE, when He has revealed to you THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED?. Those to whom We have given the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbour any doubt. (Quran 6:114)
"Say, 'Whose testimony is the greatest?' Say, 'GOD's. He is the witness between me and you that THIS QURAN has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside GOD.' Say, 'I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.' (Quran 6:19)
“And certainly We have come to them a Book, which We have DETAILED with knowledge, a guidance and mercy for a people who believe” (Quran 7:52)
“Surely We have revealed the Book to you with truth that you may JUDGE between people by that which GOD has shown you; and be not an advocate on behalf of the treacherous." (Quran 4:105)
"And We have sent down the Book to you as a CLARITY FOR EVERYTHING, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who Submit." (Quran 16:89)
"And We have revealed to you the Book with truth, authenticating what is in it of the Book and a guardian over it, therefore JUDGE between them by what GOD has revealed, and do not follow their low desires from the truth that has come to you;" (Quran 5:48)
What about Obeying the Messenger?.
The Sunnis and Shia will be concerned with this question upon which their faith is built...
The gravest crime the self-appointed scholars who claimed to be Muslim made was to give authority to the traditions (Sunna) and the books of Sayings (Hadith) ALONGSIDE the authority of GOD and His messenger. They believe that it was GOD who authorized such action by commanding the people to ‘obey GOD, and obey the messenger’…
"Whosoever obeys the Messenger, he has obeyed GOD; and he who turns away - We have not sent thee as a warder over them." (Quran 4:80)
What is so sadly neglected is that the most critical aspects of the messenger’s life have been recorded and captured in the most detailed manner…not in the books of Hadith or tradition…but in the Holy Book itself. The questions that he was asked, and the answers (inspired by GOD) that he gave:
They ask you about intoxicants and gambling?. Say: 'in them is great sin, and befit for the people; but their sin is greater than their benefit'..." (Quran 2: 219).
“And they ask you about the Spirit?. Say:' the Spirit is one of my Lord's commands, and the knowledge you were originally given was very little' (Quran 17:85)
The list of questions and answers goes on throughout the Book of GOD…This is the life of the Messenger, and this is the ‘obedience’ of the messenger…Without ‘obeying the messenger’, we would inadvertently ignore nearly 1/3 of the Book of GOD which deals with his most authentic narrations authorized and inspired by GOD which we have been commanded to follow…
“Nor does he speak out of Desire. It is no less than inspiration being inspired” (Quran 53:3-4)
What is Different between Islam and Sunni or Shia faiths?.
If you would like to know some highlights of major differences between Islam (the unknown and unpracticed system), and the Sunni or Shia faiths (highly popular amongst 1.2Bn people), then see the following points:
In Islam, the requirement to be a Muslim is to simply accept and live according to the ‘Straight Path’ (6:151-153), Vs. the Sunni or Shia 5-pillars which come from unauthorized books…
In Islam, abolishing Slavery is taught to be an act of righteousness (90:13), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings which encourages slavery under war…
In Islam, women are never forbidden from praying or fasting during Menstruation (2:222), nor is there a specific dress code (i.e. the Headscarf) imposed on them beyond modesty, Vs. the Sunni and Shia which teach the undermining of women and forcing them to cover their hair and avoid praying or fasting at certain times...
In Islam, a man or women may leave a Will, after settlement of debt (4:11), Vs. Sunnis who refuse to accept wills if there are any direct descendants...
In Islam, Polygamy is only allowed if the man is sheltering a mother and her orphans (4:3), Vs. Sunnis where a man may be a polygamist simply if he can afford to, and Shia which allow sex for pleasure (prostitution)...
In Islam, Divorce is enforceable only after a 4-month waiting period, and it may be made nullified if the couple reconcile before the end of this period (65:1, 65:4), Vs. Sunni teachings that destroy families by allowing a divorce to occur on the spot with no waiting period and no nullification...
In Islam, Thieves do not have their hands cut-off, but are made to work until they return that which is stolen (12:75), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings which brutally amputate the hands causing disability...
In Islam, no one is allowed to be killed or Stoned for adultery (24:2), Vs. Sunni and Shia laws of stoning married adulterers to death...
In Islam, absolute Freedom of Religion is allowed (2:256, 4:90; 10:99; 18:29; 88:21-22), Vs. Sunni and Shia requiring apostates to be killed and rejecting the practice of other faiths...
In Islam, people are acknowledged as being diverse and each is to be respected for his/her level of spiritual growth. A Submitter ‘Muslim’ must work to attain the status of Faithful ‘Mumin’ (49:14), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings that all followers of their religion must think, act, and even look the same (cult syndrome)...
In Islam, War can only be declared in cases of self-defence - no offensive (2:190), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings allowing raids and attacks on any people who are considered non-Muslim by their standards...
In Islam, praying to GOD can be done at any time by any person (2:186) Vs. Sunni and Shia teaching that GOD is to be called upon at 5 specific times a day in a ritual format…
In Islam, Pilgrimage is a centre for gathering of nations and for all to witness the benefits of being together (22:27-28), Vs. Sunni and Shia bringing in polytheistic rituals and superstition (touching of black stone, circling 7 times, etc..)...
In Islam, a Year is a luni-solar count made of 365-days (17:12, 9:36), with all the seasons fitting-in-place Vs. Sunnis teaching it to be a lunar one based on 354 days which creates confusion of seasons and time…
In Islam, males and females are not required to be Circumcised (32:7), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings requiring all males to be circumcised and females in some cases...
In Islam, music and statutes and gold and silk are all Lawful (5:48-49, 7:31-32, 16:116), Vs. Sunni beliefs forbidding silk & gold for men, and forbidding music & statues for all...
In Islam, rule of Government is under the constitution of the Book of GOD and by free-speech (58:9-10). Vs. Sunni teachings which allow the rise of dictators or monarchs, and Shia teachings which uphold self-appointed religious leaders based on genealogy.
Therefore, the clearest difference is that Islam is a monotheistic, clear, consistent, dynamic, progressive, balanced system...a system that eliminates conjectures, hearsay, fairy tales and contradictions...therefore it eliminates hardship, confusion, chaos, and division. It is a system which puts more accent on the usage of intellect, reason, pondering over GOD, His Creation, meaning of life, pondering over everything...While the sects represent superstition, unfair treatment for non-cult members, inequality of the sexes, oppression of human rights, inability to contribute to human progress, amputations or physical violence, regression of ideas and thoughts to primitive levels of barbarism, and most importantly setting-up partners with the One True GOD and thus promoting polytheism.
GOD Alone.
For the Sunnis and Shia who are shocked by the words they have been reading, we invite you to seek GOD Alone with your heart and your mind and to give-up all the previous wasted years of idolatry and polytheism that you have unknowingly been party to...For out Lord tells us that it is never too late to seek His forgiveness:
"Proclaim: 'O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful." (Quran 39:53)
But be warned that by simply turning away without verifying what has been said here can bring the gravest of consequences:
"Who are more evil than those who are reminded of their Lord's revelations, then disregard them, without realizing what they are doing. Consequently, we place shields on their hearts to prevent them from understanding it (the Quran), and deafness in their ears. Thus, no matter what you do to guide them, they can never ever be guided." (Quran 18:57)
Now ask yourself: Will GOD Alone be enough for you?.
"When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter shrink with aversion. But when OTHERS are mentioned besides Him, they rejoice" (Quran 39:45)
Why is Islam for me?.
This is what it all boils down to, a "what's in it for me" outlook that is very human and very natural...Well, the answers that may sway you to 'GOD Alone' and let you abandon your current faith, whatever the costs may be, are as follows...
"And if only the people of the various towns had believed and been righteous, then We would have opened for them blessings from the sky and the land; but they denied, so We took them for what they used to earn." (Quran 7:96)
Islam guarantees victory (30:47, 22:38-40, 47-7).
Islam guaranteed prosperity and abundance (7:96, 41:30-31).
Islam guarantees maximum freedom for the people - freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom to travel, and freedom of economy (2:256, 4:90, 10:99, 18:28, 88:21-22).
Islam guarantees human rights for all the people, regardless of their race, color, creed, social status, financial situation, or political affiliation (5:8, 49:13).
Islam guarantees Social justice for all.
Islam guarantees a political system that is based on consultation and the freedom for open expression (58:9-10).
Islam guarantees a society that upholds and maintains the highest standards of moral behavior. There will be a strong family, no alcoholism, no illicit drugs, no illegitimate pregnancies, no abortions, and practically no divorce.
Islam guarantees a maximum regard for people's lives and properties. Therefore, there will be no crime against the people's lives or properties.
Islam guarantees prevalence of love, courtesy, peace, and mutual respect among the people, and between this nation and other world communities (3:110, 60:8-9).
Islam guarantees environmental protection is a result of deterring pollution through conservation and prohibition of wasteful practices (30:41).
If you are convinced that a dignified, prosperous, righteous, logical, and practical way of life is your desire, then Islam is for you. You can begin to change your life immediately by putting-aside all that you have been raised to believe in and objectively taking a fresh-start by reading-up on the topics we discussed and many more in the words of GOD in His Book, and discover for yourself with no prejudice or interference.
"GOD does not change what is in a people unless they themselves decide to change. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient." (Quran 8:53)
GOD ALONE

Vanhimmat
Kiitokset tämän mieltä avartavan sivun julkituomisesta.
Sunnifundamentalisteilta tai shialaisilta olisi mielenkiintoista saada kommenttia,mutta epäilen,että viitsivät vaivautua...(Jospa saisin yllättyä iloisesti?)
Muutamaan kohtaan haluan paneutua tarkemmin,mutta teen sen hieman virkeämmällä ajalla.
