Qur’aan Deep Study-22
Who are the friends of Allah
Ya Allah, I invite you into my life every day, every morning, and every time before I close my eyes at night. Ya Allah I ask for your friendship, would you please be my friend even though I may not deserve such an honor? Ya Allah I stand at your door begging: please open, do not send me away with empty hands, you promised to answer our calls, and your promises are true and just, waiting till the day you become my friend Ya Rabb. And the end of our Dua (10;10): Al Hamdu Lillah Rabbal Aaalamein.

Al Hamdu Lillah Rabal Aalamein الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
The last time we asked if Allah is your comforting Joy, giving couple of examples, however, today we need to ask the question: who are the friends of Allah, and are you my brother//sister His friend as well? We do understand what it takes to have a friend from mankind, but what does it take to be Allah’s friend, and is this possible? If a president or a powerful king came one day and said: you know what, I would like you to be my friend, how do you feel then? Yes, most of us would say: this is a dream come true, imagine, this is a human like you, calling himself a king, how about the true and the only KING, Allah? What would be the case if Allah said to you: be my friend, or you are my friend, yes, for true believers this is the greatest among all Joy today
We all belong to Allah, we have no choice here, then why not belong with our hearts and not just with our souls, think about it, and let me explain what is meant with this statement I just made. Let us look at couple of examples of human beings on this Planet, some believe in Allah, some won’t, others reject the whole issue of Deity and the fact that there is a LORD. For those who won’t believe in Allah, this is not evil enough, but some go further into attacking Allah with bad evil words to make the situation worse. On the other hand, we have Muslims who believe in Allah, yet live the life of a non Believers, and we have Muslims who try to do their best, the least to say: they are trying. Some Muslims worship and try to do as told, though they practice out of ignorance not out of knowledge, simply because they never trouble to learn what Allah said in the Noble Qur’aan, and they follow men they think those are the gospel truth simply because they claim to speak in the name of the LORD.
As I started to say, let us give an example, take an Atheist who do not believe there is a LORD, Allah provides him/her with all the blessings, starting with the very life in their bodies, to the Air they breath, and all other wonderful blessings. They choose to live in defiance, and rejection to the one who provides all this, instead of saying a simple thank you LORD. Some believe there is a LORD, yet worship out of the evil temptations of their hearts. Some believe there is a LORD, but do not trouble themselves into checking things properly from the book they too acknowledge to be from the LORD, they go learning all other books apart from the only one that is worth it. Those who follow what others say, without troubling themselves into checking if those are right or wrong from the only book that came from Allah.
My friend, is it possible to be the friend of Allah, where can we find the answer for this? Well, all true answers should be looked up in the Noble words of Allah and in the Noble Qur’aan, we have an example of a friend of Allah in Ibraheim, Ayah 4;125 says:
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِّمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لله وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ واتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَاتَّخَذَ اللّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً
Who is better in his religion and faith than the one who put his/her face towards Allah in the proper way, and with all of his/her heart and soul, also following the ways of Ibraheim in worshiping Allah, and Allah took Ibraheim as His friend”. As for the question: is it possible to be the friend of Allah, we say yes and here we saw an example, this is not impossible. What are the first steps to walk in this direction, and to become a friend of Allah as well, Allah said: who is better in his/her religion and faith from the one who puts his/her face towards Allah in the proper way”. This is the first step in the right direction, and since this is the first step, let us study it a little before we proceed any further, why? Simply because, this first step is not only what makes us friends to Allah, but also is the key to Paradise for those who want to get in.
Therefore, there is no one better than this person who applies what Allah says, and better means during the present time, not through history of all times, and those who apply those words are the best among us today, as those who did the same were the best during their times. This also it is the first step in belonging to Allah with our hearts, not just with our souls and everything we own and possess. Putting our faces is simple to understand, and it means we need to stand to worship Allah no one else as some worship Jesus or Krishna for example, and we need to put our faces toward the Holy ground at Mekka, this is easy to understand. However, doing this properly is what we need to look at, how we can do this properly, this is the question, and it is the most important part of this first step as well, which we will discuss next time Insha Allah when we will also learn what hasaan means, which comes from Ahsan “better”, also more of doing that which is good, not just less in this matter.

Why Christians preach nothing but lies
Let us take a short break from the debate of this Christian from Egypt. We hear Christians always preaching evil by saying: all mankind are sinners by birth, and all mankind are held responsible for the sin of Adam, make us wonder: why Christians preach nothing but lies?
Reading their book of Ezekiel that says: the son is not responsible for the sin of the father, and the father is not responsible for the sin of the son, each one is responsible for his/her own actions, and will be rewarded or punished according to such. Let us read together from their books, the book of Ezekiel 18;4 says: the soul that sinneth, it (alone) shall die. Verse 18;19-20 says: “Yet say ye, Why? Doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him”. I would like to say a word to those preachers who say: Islam says we are not responsible for the sin of our father Adam, I tell them: also your book says we are not responsible for that sin, this came in what you call the word of God .
Furthermore, the book of Deuteronomy 24:16 says: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Those words from Ezekiel and Deuteronomy sound sane enough to any sane man/woman, does not take a genius to accept the fact that they are true/good words, however to say that all of mankind is to be blamed and held responsible for what our father Adam did, this is insanity to say the least, and unacceptable from those who know nothing about a fair/just LORD. This makes us wonder: what is the sin of Adam, perhaps Adam tried to blow planet Earth to kingdom come with nuclear bombs, perhaps Adam tried to cut every human being into pieces, what exactly Adam did that made his sin such a huge miserable issue we all have to carry on since birth and childhood? O yes, Adam ate from the tree, or better yet, this eating from the tree made Adam offend the order of the LORD, good grief, some of us are such a sad example no words can explain that no doubt.
Adam did something wrong “eating from the tree”, which is such a minor little thing after all, repenting is more than enough, but no, some need to make an issue of this one man at the beginning of time, and all of what they say is false and not from what they call the word of God we just finished reading above. At this point we ask those to bring us one verse from the five books of Moses, especially Geneses that talks about the sin of Adam, and that we are responsible for the sin of the first man, but how could they produce something that does not exist, not even in their books?
Yes it is true how the book of Exodus 20;4-5 say: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation, as God said it means just that far, third or fourth generation, but in our case with Adam according to non Biblical Christian preaching; we are carrying to endless generations in this sadness, not to mention and ask: why this contradiction in their books between saying: fourth generation, on the other hand only the soul that sinneth shall die?
Blaming the sinner is fair and just, blaming those who did nothing is not, and far from justice, deep into injustice big time, is your God extremely unjust? Now what to believe from all those contradictions, does God visit the inequity of the father in the son, or as Ezekiel said: the son is not responsible for the sin of the father period? Would a fair God blame all of us for a sin done by one man, what fairness exists in such a God , and would the blood of Jesus make up, meaning eating from a tree causes the death of an innocent man, thank goodness people are not following the ways of God . If for every time we offend God we need to kill an innocent, I wonder if any people innocent or guilty would be left behind.
Now, and on the other hand we need to add to make things clear for those who misunderstood what their books say. God said: visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Therefore; God does so only to those who hate him, and for those who make a graven image and bow in worship to as the command described above. Again, let us clear this one more time, God does not visit the inequity of the father in the children except if the father and the children make an image and started worshiping such which indicates a hate for God in such evil worship and practice no doubt.
To put both rules in one icing on the cake we say: if the children and their father worship images of their own making, and they hate God , then the children will carry the sin of the father till the fourth generation, God does not expect this to go further down to other generations and they will stop somewhere down the road, but if the children have done that which is righteous and right, then the son does not carry the sin of the father period as the word of God in Ezekiel told us, I hope those who did not understand and blame all of us; let them understand if they still have it in them to do such.
What about the Noble Qur’aan and Allah, since this is the case with the Judeo-Christian book and God ? Ayah 6;164 says:
قُلْ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْغِي رَبًّا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلاَ تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلاَّ عَلَيْهَا وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
“say; shall I seek a LORD apart from Allah, while Allah is the true LORD of all things, every soul is held accountable over what it has done, and one act does not substitute for another (or the action of one does not substitute for others’ actions), unto your LORD is your return, and He will tell you the truth about what disputed about”. Yes, Allah says: no one is to be blamed for what others do, and no one can save others from that which they have done. We are not responsible for the sin of Adam, and Jesus could not save us with his death from such fiction anyway. On the other hand, the way of the LORD out of sin is not by making up sons to kill them on behalf of mankind.
Therefore, and in essence, when Christians blame us for the sin of our father Adam, they are preaching against what they call the word of God and against what God said. We love Christians who say they believe in the LORD, however if their belief does not show in their actions then this is from the evil one. Believing in God means you need to believe what he says, and if you keep preaching against his words, then how different are you from those who offend the LORD? God says we are not responsible for the sin of our father Adam, and the soul that sins alone shall die, why Christians want to kill all of mankind with sad false inventions and false accusation/preaching against mankind?
