“READING” The SYSTEM

I have tried to explain to you what the word “reading” meant in our previous chapter. Now, in this chapter, I will try to explain what is that SYSTEM which we are requested to READ...

We exist on earth as unequal combinations of qualities chosen out of our hands (control) and our wishes. None of our places of birth, our races, lines of ancestors, parents and neither our sexes are our own choices. We are definitely in a competition which has undoubtedly started unequally from the beginning.

At the standpoint of an unchangeable fixed past and at a state of origination, we are face to face with a future that we possibly think we might change the way as we could. In the operating System that Allah created, that is, in the “nature” as we named it, no excuse and no sentiments are given any consideration...

After attacking and grasping a gazelle or a buffalo, hunting lion begins tearing them to pieces while alive and eat them while full of life, without feeling the slightest MERCY despite all their resistance and cries... No matter whatever excuse might be claimed, the marble on the floor will cause a glass to shatter after it slipped off your hand and fell on it... The powerful always do away with the powerless!..

While giving speeches of our mercy for the animals slaughtered on the Festive of Eid of Hajj, even we never stay away from butchers on the other side. We do not find pleasure in a meal without beef and we never do without having chicken or lamb in our dinners. Setting off for fishing and supposedly getting rid of our stress, we enjoy killing the fishes in sea.

To tell the truth, we live in a SYSTEM and ORDER in which the powerful destroys the powerless, and the stronger eats up the weaker. It is in effect in every realm, every dimension and at every level of life!..

It is in such a SYSTEM and ORDER that RasulAllah Mohammed tried to communicate to people and make them comprehend the following certain truth:

There is not a god offside (far-off) human beings, the worlds and the galaxies; it is only ALLAH ALONE who created everything from within the qualities of Hu's Beautiful Names (asma al husna) within Hu's own knowledge! Therefore, people's leaning on a god-afar-off and their efforts of worshipping go to nothing. Such a state results in becoming unaware of the “Truth!”

Man faces two main types of execution within that system:

1. To know Allah as being the human's own Reality (haqiqat).

2. To prepare himself for a life after death by means of practicing some particular tasks (ibadat) as a result (requirement) of one's dimensional, structural state of being and qualities.

Everyone faces and lives the results of his own deeds! It is the rule that resides in the System of Allah. It is therefore that the Koran al Karim mentioned the following rule:

“Then anyone who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.”

It is that, those who prepare themselves for the conditions of afterlife realm and against the living beings of such an environment, will, as a result save themselves from the torments therein. Those who do not prepare themselves for the conditions to be encountered, will have to suffer the consequences.

RasulAllah has warned people about the conditions of afterlife realm and communicated the need of a preparation for human beings for such conditions.

Without the intention of worshipping anyone, but as a requirement of the operatives of the System and Order Allah created, human beings are required to prepare themselves for the conditions of life beyond death by means of practicing certain tasks (ibadat).

For this reason, we, first of all, are in need of seriously learning and understanding what the SYSTEM of ALLAH is, which is known as the “Deen!” So that we may comprehend what was the intention behind given recommendations and may not neglect those vitally important practices.

Let us know that...

Each of the practices recommended within the “Deen-i Islam” is established on a technical, scientific and structural reasoning and they generate their results automatically. None of those recommendations is a nonsense command coming from above.

Islamic practices (ibadat) are some tasks that are raised as the necessities and requirements of the operating of the System. Therefore, we must from now on SERIOUSLY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND THE ORDER AT THE SIGHT OF “ALLAH...”
