The Most Influential Books in the World

The Most Influential Books in the World

Assalamu'alaikum wrwb

I seek refuge in GOD, from Satan the rejected

In the name of GOD, Most Gracious and Most Merciful


I started to read books when I was six years old. Up until now, I have read hundreds of books. Some of them are really special to me, my life and my family as well. There are three books that I have been reading since 3 years ago that really have a big impact in my life.

To me these books are extraordinary and amazing. These books are very enlightening for me to deal with my everyday life. I believe that these books are the source of knowledge, wisdom, happiness, truth, justice, freedom, human right, peace and everyday laws.

There were many other excellent and interesting books I have read such as history, fiction, inspiration, biography of leaders of the world, books about science, health, economic, technology, animals, etc.

These books also teach us how the universe and the mankind were created and who created them. When I read these books, I was so excited and surprised. Can you imagine how the earth and the human being were created?

Why everybody including us will die someday? Life is very short for those who ignore it. After we die, where will our souls go?

Moreover, we also see the cycle of life. A man and a woman get married and they have a baby. A new life is born to the world. Why all of these situations are happening? All of these questions are answered clearly on these books.

I spent a lot of time reading these books. It is not because they are thick books, but because I decided to read them more than once. I really want to understand everything written in these books.

I believe that these books are really important for me and I believe for everybody. I believe people can live more successfully and more happily if they read these books.

Why? It is because these books explain everything from family relationships to business dealing. They also explain about good human qualities such as humility, patience, respect for the poor, respect for our parents and loyalty to our friends.

What made these books are so interesting is that these books also reveal the unseen world from the human eyes. Usually we believe something if we can see it with our own eyes or touch it with our hands. On the other hand, we are going a hard time believing something if we cannot see or touch it.

These books will teach us about the unseen world. It is really hard to explain because it is such an unusual thing. However, by reading these books you will start to understand and believe.

These books required to be read slowly in order to get the most of their lessons. I hope God will help you understand these books because I believe that God plays an important role in enlightening peoples' minds.

With God's grace, these books have been affecting millions of people around the world and those people before our time.

Who wrote these amazing books?
These books are not created by human hands. These books are God's words. He sends his messengers to this world and spread His massages.

These messages later on recorded and become the holy books. If you asked me who is this God? I will tell you that these books also have the answer for this question. You can have a copy of these books easily. You can buy them or there are some organizations that provide it for free.

Next, you are going to ask me the name of these books. You may know them already or you may even have one of them already in your home. They might belong to your parents.

The names of the three books are
1. The Torah (the Old Testament)
2. The Bible (the New Testament)
3. The Quran
These books were created by God and sent down to us through His messengers Moses, Jesus and Mohammad (peace be upon them). God sent the Torah through Moses (peace be upon him). God sent the Bible through Jesus (peace be upon him). Finally God sent the Quran through Mohammad (peace be upon him). These books are created long time ago and they have read by billions people since.

First I read and learn the Quran since I was 10 years old. My mother taught me and my brothers and sisters how to read the Quran.

The Quran is not written in our language; it is in Arabic language. I studied the Quran at that time, but I did not understand the massage. Several years ago I decided to learn more about the Quran through some Islamic scholars.

However I did not satisfied with the lesson because I can see that they all have their own interpretations. The result is I decided to learn the Quran myself. I felt happier and more satisfied now.

After reading the Quran, I began to get interested in reading the Bible. Why did I want to learn about the Bible? The answer is because in the Quran, it mentions about Jesus and his teaching.

Myself as a Muslim should believe in God's messengers and his teaching. I started to read Bible since I came to America. I have a lot of time and there are many kinds of books available in the public library including the Bible. I can borrow it and read it at home at my pace.

I'm glad that God gave me the chance to finish these important books.

What I learned from these books:
1. I know who God is.
2. I know who created the universe and the human beings.
3. I know why God sent the Holy Books through His messengers.
4. I know who I am and why I am born to this world.
5. I understand why people have to obey God's laws.
6. I understand that those who do not obey God's laws will be punished.
7. I understand that God gives freedom for us to choose our path.
8. I understand that God never intended to force us to follow his commandments.
9. I understand that those who obey God's laws will have His blessings.
10. I understand that God loves us, so we should love God and each other.
11. I understand why there are people who still fighting and killing each other.
12. I understand that these books are acting as guidance from God to go through our lives in this world.
13. I believe that God will grant us a happy, success, and secure life if we follow his guidance.
14. I understand why God sent the Torah (Old Testament) through Moses, the Bible (New Testament) through Jesus, and the Quran through Mohammad (peace be upon them).

By reading the Bible (the Old and the New Testament) and the Quran, I believe that all questions we have in our mind can be answered clearly. These books are an excellent guide to be successful to go through this world.

Furthermore, my intention of writing this book is to introduce to the reader of some verses taken from the three holy books. There will be no interpretation about these verses as I aware that interpretation will need further study and research.

I acknowledge that there are books out there that have more depth if readers want to know more about the verses meaning. I picked these verses especially those that are applicable to human life generally.

My purpose is just to help the people, in this case the readers to realize that God loves us and He is going to help us to go through this life. These books are tremendous help and it will help people change their life especially among their believers.

The Torah (the Old Testament)

' God said; 'You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You were made from the soil, and you will become soil again' (Genesis 3.18-19.)

' On the day Abraham obey God and circumcised his son Ishmael and all the other male in his household.(Genesis 17.23)

' Now then, these are all one people and they speak one language; this is just the beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want. Let us go down and mix up their language so that they will not understand each other. So God scattered them all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. The city was called Babylon, because there the Lord mixed up the language of all the people and from there He scattered them all over the earth. (genesis 11.5-9)

If you live according to my laws and obey my commandments, I will send you rain at the right time so that the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit. Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting grain when it is time to pick grapes and you will still be picking grapes when it is time to plant grain.

You will have what you want to eat and you can live in safety on your land. I will give you peace in your land and you can sleep without being afraid of anyone. I will get rid of the dangerous animal on your land and there will be no more war there. You will be victorious over your enemies; five of you will be able to defeat a hundred, a hundred will be able to defeat ten thousand. I will bless you and give you many children.

A Song of Praise (Chronicles 16:8-36)

Give thank to the Lord, proclaim his greatness; tell the nation what he has done.
Sing praise to the Lord; tell the wonderful things he has done.
Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice!
Go to the Lord for help and worship him continually.

You descendants of Jacob, God's servant, descendants of Israel, whom God close, remember the miracle that God performed and judgments that He gave. The Lord is our God his commands are for all the world. Never forget God's covenant, which he made to last forever the covenant made with Abraham, the promise he made to Isaac.

The Lord made a covenant with Jacob, one that will last forever, I will give you the land of Canaan he said It will be your own possession. God's people were few in number, strangers in the land of Canaan. They wandered from country to country from one kingdom to another But God let no one oppress them to protect them, he warned the kings Do not harm my chosen servants; do not touch my prophets Sing to the Lord, all the world! Proclaim his glory to the nations his mighty acts to all peoples.

The Lord is great and is to be highly praised he is to be honored more than all the gods. The gods of all other nations are only idols, but the Lord created the heavens. Glory and majesty surround him power and joy fills his temple. Praise the Lord, all people on earth praise his glory and might. Praise the Lord's glorious name; bring an offering and come into his Temple. Bow down before the holy One when he appears; tremble before him, all the earth! The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

Be glad, earth and sky! Tell the nations that the lord is king.
Roar, sea, and every creature in you; be glad, fields and everything in you!
The trees in woods will shout for you, when the Lord comes to rule the earth
Give thank to the Lord because he is good; his love is eternal.
Say to him 'Save us, O God our Savior' gather us together; rescue us from the nations, so that we may be thankful and praise your holy name.'
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel!

Praise him now and forever!
Then the people said,'Amen' and praise the Lord.
Punishment for Disobedience (Leviticus 26:14-17)

The Lord said, 'If you will not obey my commands, you will be punished. If you refuse to obey my laws and commands and break the covenant I have with you, I will punish you. I will bring disaster on you'incurable diseases and fevers that will make you blind and cause your life to waste away. You will plant your crops, but it will do you no good, because your enemies will conquer you and eat what you have grown. I will turn against you so that you will be defeated and those who hate you will rule over you; you will be so terrified that you will run when no one is chasing you.Warning against Forgetting the Lord (Deuteronomy 8:17-18)

You must never think that you have made yourself wealthy by your own power and strength. Remember that it is the Lord your God who give the power to become rich. Never forget the Lord your God or turn to other gods to worship and serve them. If you do, then I warn you today that you will certainly be destroyed. If you do not obey the Lord, then you will be destroyed just like those nations that he is going to destroy as you advance.

My comments
After reading the Torah, I began to see the similarity of its teaching to the Islamic teaching. This message is the way God has asked the human many times to follow his commandments. Now, I understand that Jewish people who follow your commandments consistently will benefit to their society as well as other societies. They prohibit eating pork just like the Muslim in Islamic Law. Some other prohibitions are: do not bow down to any idol or worship (exodus 20:5), do not commit murder (exodus 20:13), do not commit adultery (exodus 20:14),do not steal (exodus 20:15), do not accuse anyone falsely (exodus 20:16), do not desire another man's wife (exodus 20:17), do not desire his house, land, cattle, his wife or anything else that he own (exodus20:17), and respect your father, mother, so you may live a long in the land that I am giving you (Deuteronomy 5:16).

The Bible (the New Testament)
The Gospel according to Matthew tells the good news that Jesus is the promised Savior, the one through whom God fulfilled the promise He made to his people in the Old Testament. This good news is not only for the Jewish people, among whom Jesus was born and lived, but for the whole world. (The Good News Bible pg. 1) The promise to send a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:14)

Then Moses said, 'In the land you are to occupy, people follow the advice of those who practice divination and look for omens, but the Lord your God does not allow to do this. Instead, he will send you a prophet like me from among your own people, and you are to obey him (Jesus).

Teaching about the Law (Matthew 5:17-20)

Jesus said, 'Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true.'

Teaching about Anger (Matthew 5:21-26)
You have heard that people were told in the past: 'Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial. But now I tell you: whoever is angry with his brother will be brought to trial, whoever calls his brother, 'You good for nothing!' will be brought before the Council, and whoever calls his brother a worthless fool will be in danger of going to the fire of hell.

Teaching about Adultery (Matthew5:27-30)
You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But now I tell you, 'anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart. So if your right eye cause you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose a part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose your limbs than to have your whole body go off to hell. Teaching about Revenge (Matthew 5:38-42)

You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you now: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. When someone asks you for something, give it in him, when someone wants to borrow something, lend it him.

Teaching about charity (Matthew 6:1-3)
Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your God in heaven. So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the hypocrites do in the house of worship and on the streets. They do it so that people will praise them. I assure you they have already been paid in full. But when you help a needy person, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it. Then it will be a private matter. And your God who sees what you do in private will reward you. Teaching about Prayer (Matthew 6:5-14)

When you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to God, who is unseen. And your God who sees what you do in private, will reward you. When you pray do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that God will hear them because their prayer are long. Do not be like them. Your God already knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray:

Our Father in heaven: May your holy name be honored; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need. Forgive us wrongs we have done as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your God in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your God will not forgive the wrongs you have done.

Teaching about Fasting (Matthew 6:16-17)
And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrite do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. When you go without food wash your face and comb your hair, so that others can not know that you are fasting'only your God, who is unseen, will sees what you do in private, will reward you.

Prohibiting and Permitting (Matthew 18:18-21)
And so I tell all of you; what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my God in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with you.

Wives and Husbands (Ephesians 5:21-25)
Submit yourselves to one another because of your reverence for Christ. Wives, submit your selves to your husband as to the Lord. For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the Church, his body, And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husband just as the church submits itself to Christ. Husbands love wives just as Christ loved the church and gave h is life for it. Men ought to love their wives just as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves his own body. Every wife must respect her husband.

Jesus teaches about Divorce (Matthew 19:1-12)
Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him by asking,' Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife for whatever reason he wishes? Jesus answered, 'Haven't you read the scripture that says that in the beginning the Creator made people male and female? And God said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two became one. So they are no longer two but one. Man must not separate, what God has joined together.' The Pharisees asked him,' Why then, did Moses give the law for a man to hand his wife a divorce notice and send her away? Jesus answered, 'Moses gave you permission to divorce your wives because you are so hard to teach. But it was not like that at the time of creation. I tell you, then that any man who divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, commits adultery if he marries some other woman. His disciples said to him, 'If this is how it is between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.' Jesus answered, 'This teaching does not apply to everyone, but only to those to whom God has given it. For there are different reasons why they were born that way; others because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so.'

Warning against Judging a Christian Brother
Do not criticize one another, my brothers. Whoever criticizes a Christian brother or judges him, criticizes the Law and judges it. If you judge the Law, then you no longer one who obeys the Law. But one who judges it. God is the only lawgiver and judge. He alone can and destroys. Who do you think you are to judge your fellow-man? The great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40)

The Pharisees asked Jesus, 'which the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus answered,
1. 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
2. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'
The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments. Humility and Hospitality (Luke 11:13)

In you are invited go and sit in the lowest place, so that your host will come to you and say, 'Come on up, my friend, to a better place. This will bring you honor in the present of all the other guests. For everyone who makes himself great will be humbled and everyone who humble himself will be made great. Then Jesus said to his host, when you give a lunch or dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or relatives or your rich neighbors'for they will invite you back, and in this way you will pay for what you did. When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the blame and the blind, and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from the dead.True Happiness (Matthew 5:3-12)

Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belong to them!
Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them!
Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!
Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully.
Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them.
Happy are the pure in heart; they will see God!
Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children.
Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of heaven belong to them!
Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because are my followers. Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted. Love
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrong; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will pass.

How to please God (Hebrew 13:1-6)
Keep on loving one another as Christian brothers. Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There were some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as though you were suffering as they are.

Marriage is to be honored by all, and husband and wives must be faithful to each other. God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never abandon you' Let us be bold, then and say, Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid.
The Lord's greatness

Love the Lord your God and always obey all his laws. Remember today what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with Him. It was you, not your children, who had these experiences. You saw the Lord's greatness, his power, his might, and his miracles. You saw what He did to the king of Egypt and to his entire country. You say how the Lord completely wiped out the Egyptian army, along with their horses and chariots, by drowning them in the Red Sea when they were pursuing you.

Do not judge others
Do not judge your brother's faith, you will be not judged.
For with what judgment you judge, with the same measure, it will be measured back to you.
Why do you judge your brother's faith? Who do you think you are to judge others.
We all stand before God's judgment hereafter. God made laws, and only God can judge people's faith.

If you act like wild animal, banning, hurting, harming and biting, watch out, then one another will destroy completely.

If you hate your brothers, you are in darkness, walk in darkness, do not know where are going, because the darkness has blinded your eyes'and then you will fall into misery.

My comments
As Jesus said, 'Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true.'
So the Christians or Jesus' followers will have to follow the Moses' laws, however there are some new laws according circumstance of people's behavior at that times. It seems to me that Jesus' laws are more complete than Moses' laws.
To me the greatest commandments of God from the New Testaments are:
1. 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul, and with all your mind.' (Q)
2. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' (Q) , and
3. Keep on loving one another as Christian brothers. Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There were some who did that and welcomed angels with out knowing it. Remember those who are in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as though you were suffering as they are.(Q)
These commandments will affect human being's behavior, and we can see from Christian's society who follows God's laws will be blessed with happiness and become prosperous.

The Quran (the Final Testament that God created)
The Quran was sent to Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the Angel of Jibril (Gabriel), about 1424 years ago. There are 6648 verses. Muhammad (peace be upon him), received all verses within 23 years. God sent the Quran not for Arabic people only, but for all mankind in the world. God said about The Quran.
1. Verily, We have sent it (The Quran) down in the night of Al Qadar (QS.97:1)
2. This Day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion (QS.5:3)

14. This is a Book which We have revealed unto you in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness into light by their Lord's Leave to the Path of the All Mighty, the Owner of all Praise (QS.14:1)

1. Why God created 3 times the holy books for people in the world?
According to the Old Testament and The Quran, because people turned away from God's laws, God saw how wicked everyone on the earth was, and how evil their thought were all the time, violence had spread on the earth. God loves people very much, God creates people with love, but people neglected God's laws. That is why God sent a prophet to the earth with laws after hundreds years the previous prophet died. After hundreds years Moses died, then God sent Jesus to the earth with additional laws, named the New Testament. Then after Jesus died 600 years later, people again neglected the God laws, the violence had spread over the world. God sent Muhammad (peace be upon him), with additional laws, more complete than before, named Al Quran. In order people can live peacefully again and obey God's laws in daily live. God wants people live happily, peacefully, and harmonically. "Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, the converts; anyone who
(1) believes in God and
(2) believes in the Hereafter, and
(3) leads a righteous life,
will receive their recompense from their Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve." (QS. 5:69, 2:62)
God said, 'And God have sent you O Muhammad not but as mercy for the mankind and all that exist.' (QS.21:107)

2. Who is God we worship?
1. Say Muhammad: He is God, the One. God the self-Sufficient Master, whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. (QS.112:1-4)
2. Join not in worship others with God. Verily joining others in worship with God is a great wrong indeed (QS.31:13).
3. God is the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious, the Most Powerful, the all Provider, the Greatest Creator, the Most Sustainer, the all Knower, the All Seer of His slave(children), Owner of Power, the Most Strong, All-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate, and the Owner of the Day of Resurrection. God is Swift in account, Well-acquainted with what you do.

3. Why do we worship God?
1. You alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help. The only Owner of the day of Recompense. (QS.1:3-4)
2. Verily, God is the all Provider, Owner of power, the Strong, the merciful, the most Gracious, and the most compassionate, the greatest creator. (QS.51:58).
3. And He is with you wherever you may be. And Allah is the All-seer what of you do (QS.57:4).

4. What are our duties in this world?
1. And God create you not the Jin and mankind, except that they should worship God (to obey God's laws) (QS.51:56)
2. He brought you forth the earth, and settles you therein (to prosper the earth and serve people with love, gentleness, kindness, and justice). (QS.11:61)

5. How God created mankind?
1. God create man from male and female semen drop and set him in due proportion. (QS.80:19)
2. God, it is who shape you in the wombs as God will.
3. Who created you, fashion you perfectly, and gave you due proportion (QS. 82:7)
4. And indeed, God create man (Adam) out of extract of clay (water and earth) (QS.23:12)
5. Then We made the semen drop into a clot then We made the clot into little lamp of flesh, then We made out of that little lamp of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as an other creation. So blessed is God, the Best creator. (QS. 2:14).
6. Say: It is He Who has created you on the earth, and to him shall you be gathered (in the Hereafter) (QS.67:24)
7. And that Allah created the pairs, male and female, from Nutfah or drops of semen when it is emitted (QS.53:45-46).
8. Have We (Allah) not made for him two eyes, a tongue, and two lips. (QS.90:8-9)
9. And that It is Allah Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep (cry) (QS.53:43)
10. Verily, man was created very impatient (QS.70:19).
11. Irritable when evil touched him, and niggardly (stingy) when good touched him.
12. (QS.70:20).
13. And man created weak (can't be patient to leave sexual intercourse with women) (QS.4:29).
14. Nah, man desires to continue committing sins. (QS.75:5).
15. And man is ever hasty (hurry) (QS.17:11)
16. Say: It is He who has created you, and endowed you with hearing (ear), seeing (eyes), and hearts. Little thanks you give (QS.67:23)
17. He brought you forth from the earth, and settles you therein (to prosper the earth) (QS.11:61).
18. He it is who has made you successors, generations after generations in the earth. (QS.35:39.)
19. And Allah created you not the Jin and mankind, except that they should worship Allah (to obey Allah's laws) (QS.51:56)
20. And shown him the two ways (good and evil) (QS.90:10)

6. Does God force people to follow His laws?
No. Did messengers compel people to follow them or to obey their laws? No. Does God give people the right to choose? Yes. Does God give freedom to people; freedom to choose his religion, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, clothing (meaning God does not force us to obey Him)? Yes, God said in the Quran.

Yes, everyone has the freedom to choose his religion.
There is no any compulsion or forces in choosing religion. Let us find answer in Al Quran, as a guide book for mankind, what God said:
1. There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. So whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All hearer, All Knower. (QS.2:256)
2. Do you submit yourselves to Allah in Islam? If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message; and Allah is All Seer of His slaves. (QS.3:20)
3. And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed all of them together. So will you (O Muhammad) then compel mankind, until they become believer! (QS.10:99).
4. Verily, you remind them (O Muhammad) you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them? (QS.88:21-22)
5. And say Muhammad; 'The truth is from your Lord.' Then whoever wills, let him believe; and whoever wills let him disbelieve. (QS.18:29)
6. "Believers, conduct yourselves with justice and bear true witness before God, even though it be against yourselves, your parents, or your kinsfolk." (QS. 4:135.)

The Quran also asks Muslims to bear true witness, even if that means testifying against your friends, family and community. Seems to me that by ignoring this advice, you're cherry-picking from the tree of religion as much you claim I am. It is really clear that from God verses above that people born on earth have been given the freedom; freedom of choosing his: religion, speech, behavior, clothing, etc. The Prophet Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon all of them) did not get authority to force people to follow his religion. But if you follow the messengers or Muhammad (peace be upon him) sincerely, you will get reward from God, because Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the best model as human being God's created. God will never force His will to the human kind. We have to decide whether we want to follow God or not, to believe Him or not, to trust Him or not. The meaning of freedom given by God does not mean that He let us to do whatever we want, the meaning is that we have the choice now in this world, but in the hereafter we have to be responsible for every action that we do. We will have the proper reward and punishment accordingly for following and not following God's orders. The Messenger of Muhammad said: And shown him the two ways (good and evil) (QS.90:10) The Messenger of Moses said: Today I am giving you a choice between good and evil, or between a blessing and a curse, between live and death (Deuteronomy 30; 1, 15). You were born with the freedom of choice. The Prophet's authority from God was only to convey God's commandments. How to convey God's commandments? Follow God's commandments kindly, sincerely and show a role model. May people will follow you freely. God's verses in the Quran and Bible are only act as a reminder for human being.

7. Why are people on earth still fighting and killing each other?
1. And the Jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire (QS.15:27)
2. Evil said: 'See this one whom You have honored above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the day of resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a few! (QS.17:62)
3. Surely. Evil is to man a plain enemy (QS.17:53)

8. Blessings for Obedience.
1. So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness (do good deeds as much as possible, sincerely) and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord (QS.18:110).
2. Verily, The pious believers will be in Delight or Paradise (QS. 83:13)
3. Verily, those who believe and do righteous deeds shall have the garden of Al Firdaus (Paradise) for their entertainment (V.18:107).
4. Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds for them are Gardens of Delight or Paradise (QS.31:8).
5. Verily, those who say;' our Lord is Allah' and then they stand firm, on them the angle will descend (at the time of their death) saying:' fear not, nor grieve!' but receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised! (QS.41:30).
6. Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart (QS.26:89).

9. Why did God created people in nations, many tribes, many languages?.
1. Oh mankind, verily, We have created you from a male and female, and made you into nations and tribe (many languages, races, religions), that you know one another or you can learn one another. (QS. 49:13.)
2. He created the heaven and the earth, and the different languages and colors.(QS.30:22.) 3. He created you (Adam) from dust, and then behold you are human being scattered. (QS.30:20).
4. To each among you, We prescribed a Law and a clear way. If God had willed, He would have made you one nation (one language, one religion, one race, or one color) but that He may test you in what He has given to you, so compete in good deeds or manner (QS.5:38).
5. For every nations (Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim) there is a direction to which they face (in their prayer). So hasten towards all that is good. Whosoever you may be, Allah (God) will bring you together on the Day of Resurrection. Truly, Allah is able to do all things. (QS.2:148), (look at QS.2:145-147).

10. God created The Old Testament (Moses), the New Testament (Jesus) and Al Quran (Muhammad), and Muslim believes Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Ishmael, Jacob are God Messengers. How Muhammad (PBUH) respects other faiths. Muhammad (PBUH) said:
1. Allah confirmed this to the Prophet and all the Muslims. He says: 'Say ye: 'We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to all Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to God in Islam.' (QS.2:136)
2. Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believe in God and the last day and does righteous deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve (QS.2:62),(see QS.3:199)(QS3:13-115)(QS.3:65)
3. For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers). So hasten towards all that is good. Whosoever you may be, Allah (God) will bring you together on the Day of Resurrection. Truly, Allah is able to do all things. (QS.2:148).
4. We have sent down to you (o Muhammad) the book (this Al Quran) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and trustworthy in highness and a witness over it (old Scriptures). So judge among them by what God has revealed and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a Law and a clear way. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation (one language, one religion, one race, or one color) but that He may test you in what He has given to you, so compete in good deeds or manner. The return of you (all) is to Allah, then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ. (QS.5:48).
5. Allah says:' God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for your faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: For God loves those who are just.' (QS.60:8).
6. Prophet Muhammad was always very respectful towards the Christians. According to Islamic historians, Ibn e Saad and Ibn e Hisham, once there was a delegation of Byzantine Christians, who were traveling from Yemen to Medina. The delegation was lead by a bishop by the name of Zqyd al-Usquf, who came to discuss a number of issues with Prophet Muhammad. When the time of their prayer came, they asked the Prophet if they could do their worship in the mosque of the Prophet. He answered, "Conduct your service here in the mosque. It is a place dedicated to God.'

11. Teaching about praying.
1. Perform As shalat (prayer), verily As shalat prevents from Al Fahsha (great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse) and Al Munkar (disbelieve, every kind of evil wicked deed) and the remembering God is greater indeed of God in prayers And God knows what you do (QS.29;45)
2. Perform as shalat from mid-day till the darkness of the night (the Zuhur, Asr, Maghgrib, and Isha prayer) and recite the Al Quran in the early dawn (the morning prayer).verily, the recitation of the Quran in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angel in charge of mankind of the day and the night) (QS.17:78)

12. Teaching about fasting.

A Muslim should fast during the holy month of Ramadan (Islamic month); therefore no food, no water, no intimate relationship during day time, from the morning to the sun set.

13. Teaching about charity.
1. Take alms from their wealth in to purify them and sanctify them with it, and invoke Allah for them. Verily your invocation is a source of security for them; God is All Hearer. All Knower (QS.9:103)
2. The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of God, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And God is All-Sufficient for His Creature's need, All-Knower (QS.2:261)
3. And they give food, in spite of their love for it or for the love of Him, to the poor, the orphans, and the captives
4. So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them a light of beauty and joy. (QS.76:8,11)

15. Teaching about human relationship.

3. O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another (QS.49:13)

5. If you give thanks to God (by obeying God's laws) I will give you more (of My blessings), but if you are thankless, verily My punishment is indeed severe (QS.14:7)
6. Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds for them are Gardens of Delight or Paradise (QS.31:8)
7. And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with balance that is straight. That is good and better in the end (QS.17:35)
8. And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth, nor can you attain a stature like the mountain in height (QS.17:37)
9. God confirmed this to the Prophet and all the Muslims. He says: 'Say ye: 'We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Is mail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to all Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to God in Islam.'

(QS.60:8)

Adultery
[QS.17:32] You shall not commit adultery; it is a gross sin, and an evil behavior.
[QS.24:33] Those who cannot afford to get married shall maintain morality until God provides for them from His grace. Those among your servants who wish to be freed in order to marry, you shall grant them their wish, once you realize that they are honest. And give them from God's money that He has bestowed upon you. You shall not force your girls to commit prostitution, seeking the materials of this world, if they wish to be chaste. If anyone forces them, then God, seeing that they are forced, is Forgiver, Merciful.
Aggression
[QS.2:190] You may fight in the cause of God against those who attack you, but do not aggress. God does not love the aggressors.
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
Alcohol
[QS.2:219] The world now recognizes that the economic benefits from manufacturing alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs are not worth the traffic fatalities, brain damage to children of alcoholic mothers, family crises, and other disastrous consequences. Check with "Alcoholics Anonymous" and "Gamblers Anonymous" for more information. See also
[QS.5:90] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them that you may succeed.
[QS.5:91] The devil wants to provoke animosity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to distract you from remembering God, and from observing the Contact Prayers (Salat). Will you then refrain?
Backbiting
[QS.49:12] O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe God. God is Redeemer, Most Merciful Conspiracy
[QS.58:8] Have you noted those who were enjoined from conspiring secretly, then insist on conspiring? They conspire to commit sin, transgression, and disobedience of the messenger. When they come to you, they greet you with a greeting other than that decreed by God. They say inside themselves, 'God will not punish us for our utterances." Their only requital is Gehenna, wherein they burn; what a miserable destiny.
Dishonesty & bribery
[QS.2:188] You shall not take each others' money illicitly, nor shall you bribe the officials to deprive others of some of their rights illicitly, while you know.
[QS.4:29] O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly - only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. God is Merciful towards you.
[QS.5:8] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe God, when you serve as witnesses. Do not be provoked by your conflicts with some people into committing injustice. You shall be absolutely equitable, for it is more righteous. You shall observe God. God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
[QS.6:152] You shall not touch the orphans' money except in the most righteous manner, until they reach maturity. You shall give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably. We do not burden any soul beyond its means. You shall be absolutely just when you bear witness, even against your relatives. You shall fulfill your covenant with God. These are His commandments to you, that you may take heed.
[QS.17:34] You shall not touch the orphans' money except for their own good, until they reach maturity. You shall fulfill your covenants, for a covenant is a great responsibility. [QS.17:35] You shall give full measure when you trade, and weigh equitably. This is better and more righteous. Don't invent (Invent laws that are not from God and claim the laws are from God)
[QS.3:93] All food used to be lawful for the Children of Israel, until Israel imposed certain prohibitions on themselves before the Torah was sent down. Say, "Bring the Torah and read it, if you are truthful."
[6:138] They said, "These are livestock and crops that are prohibited; no one shall eat them except whomever we permit," so they claimed. They also prohibited the riding of certain livestock. Even the livestock they ate, they never pronounced God's name as they sacrificed them. Such are innovations attributed to Him. He will surely requite them for their innovations.
[QS.6:140] Losers indeed are those who killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge, and prohibited what God has provided for them, and followed innovations attributed to God. They have gone astray; they are not guided.
[QS.6:143] Eight kinds of livestock: regarding the two kinds of sheep, and the two kinds of goats, say, "Is it the two males that He prohibited, or the two females, or the contents of the wombs of the two females? Tell me what you know, if you are truthful."
[QS.6:144] Regarding the two kinds of camels, and the two kinds of cattle, say, "Is it the two males that He prohibited, or the two females, or the contents of the wombs of the two females? Were you witnesses when God decreed such prohibitions for you? Who is more evil than those who invent such lies and attribute them to God? They thus mislead the people without knowledge. God does not guide such evil people."
[QS.6:150] Say, "Bring your witnesses who would testify that God has prohibited this or that." If they testify, do not testify with them. Nor shall you follow the opinions of those who reject our revelations, and those who disbelieve in the Hereafter, and those who stray away from their Lord.
[QS.7:32] Say, "Who prohibited the nice things God has created for His creatures, and the good provisions?" Say, "Such provisions are to be enjoyed in this life by those who believe. Moreover, the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection." We thus explain the revelations for people who know.
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
[QS.7:166] When they continued to defy the commandments, we said to them, "Be you despicable apes." The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animal) of the people of the Scripture (Jew, Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (V.5:5)

He has forbidden you only meat of a dead animal, blood, the flesh of swine and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than God has been slaughtered for idols or on which God's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, and not transgressing, then God is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful (V.16:115)
[QS.16:35] The idol worshipers say, "Had God willed, we would not worship any idols besides Him, nor would our parents. Nor would we prohibit anything besides His prohibitions." Those before them have done the same. Can the messengers do anything but deliver the complete message?
[QS.66:1] O you prophet, why do you prohibit what God has made lawful for you, just to please your wives? God is Forgiver, Merciful.
Drugs
[QS.2:219] They ask you about intoxicants and gambling: say, "In them there is a gross sin, and some benefits for the people. But their sinfulness far outweighs their benefit." They also ask you what to give to charity: say, "The excess." God thus clarifies the revelations for you that you may reflect.
[QS.5:90] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them that you may succeed Evil works
[QS.4:160] Due to their transgressions, we prohibited for the Jews good foods that used to be lawful for them; also for consistently repelling from the path of God.
[QS.4:161] And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution.
[QS.16:90] God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed. They are those who, if we appointed them as rulers on earth, they would establish the Contact Prayers (Salat) and the obligatory charity (Zakat), and would advocate righteousness and forbid evil. God is the ultimate ruler. (QS.22:41).
Food
[QS.2:168] O people, eat from the earth's product all that is lawful and good, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.
[QS.2:169] He only commands you to commit evil and vice, and to say about God what you do not know. [QS.2:173] He only prohibits for you the eating of animals that die of themselves (without human interference), blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than God. If one is forced (to eat these), without being malicious or deliberate, he incurs no sin. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[QS.3:93] All food used to be lawful for the Children of Israel, until Israel imposed certain prohibitions on themselves before the Torah was sent down. Say, "Bring the Torah and read it, if you are truthful."
[QS.4:119] "I will mislead them, I will entice them, I will command them to (forbid the eating of certain meats by) marking the ears of livestock, and I will command them to distort the creation of God." Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of God, has incurred a profound loss.
[QS.5:3] Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than God. (Animals that die of themselves include those) strangled, struck with an object, fallen from a height, gored, attacked by a wild animal - unless you save your animal before it dies - and animals sacrificed on altars. Also prohibited is dividing the meat through a game of chance; this is an abomination. Today, the disbelievers have given up concerning (the eradication of) your religion; do not fear them and fear Me instead. Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you, and I have decreed Submission as the religion for you. If one is forced by famine (to eat prohibited food), without being deliberately sinful, then God is Forgiver, Merciful.
[QS.5:87] O you who believe, do not prohibit good things that are made lawful by God, and do not aggress; God dislikes the aggressors.
[QS.6:119] Why should you not eat from that upon which God's name has been mentioned? He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are forced. Indeed, many people mislead others with their personal opinions, without knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of the transgressors.
[QS.6:138] They said, "These are livestock and crops that are prohibited; no one shall eat them except whomever we permit," so they claimed. They also prohibited the riding of certain livestock. Even the livestock they ate, they never pronounced God's name as they sacrificed them. Such are innovations attributed to Him. He will surely requite them for their innovations.
[QS.6:140] Losers indeed are those who killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge, and prohibited what God has provided for them, and followed innovations attributed to God. They have gone astray; they are not guided.
[QS.6:143] Eight kinds of livestock: regarding the two kinds of sheep, and the two kinds of goats, say, "Is it the two males that He prohibited, or the two females, or the contents of the wombs of the two females? Tell me what you know, if you are truthful."
[QS.6:145] Say, "I do not find in the revelations given to me any food that is prohibited for any eater except: (1) carrion, (2) running blood, (3) the meat of pigs, for it is contaminated, and (4) the meat of animals blasphemously dedicated to other than God." If one is forced (to eat these), without being deliberate or malicious, then your Lord is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[QS.6:146] For those who are Jewish we prohibited animals with undivided hoofs; and of the cattle and sheep we prohibited the fat, except that which is carried on their backs, or in the viscera, or mixed with bones. That was a retribution for their transgressions, and we are truthful.
[QS.10:59] Say, "Did you note how God sends down to you all kinds of provisions, then you render some of them unlawful, and some lawful?" Say, "Did God give you permission to do this? Or, do you fabricate lies and attribute them to God?"
[QS.16:112] God cites the example of a community that used to be secure and prosperous, with provisions coming to it from everywhere. But then, it turned unappreciative of God's blessings. Consequently, God caused them to taste the hardships of starvation and insecurity. Such is the requital for what they did.
[QS.5:5] The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animal) of the people of the Scripture (Jews, Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them.
[QS.16:115] He has forbidden you only meat of a dead animal, blood, the flesh of swine and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than God has been slaughtered for idols or on which God's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, and not transgressing, then God is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.)
[QS.16:116] You shall not utter lies with your own tongues stating: "This is lawful, and this is unlawful," to fabricate lies and attribute them to God. Surely, those who fabricate lies and attribute them to God will never succeed.
[QS.16:117] They enjoy briefly, then suffer painful retribution.
[QS.16:118] For the Jews, we prohibited what we narrated to you previously. It was not us who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls.
Idol worship
[QS.5:90] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them that you may succeed.
[QS.6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you that you may understand."
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
[QS.16:51] God has proclaimed: "Do not worship two gods; there is only one god. You shall reverence Me alone."
[QS.17:39] This is some of the wisdom inspired to you by your Lord. You shall not set up another god beside God, lest you end up in Gehenna, blamed and defeated. [QS.22:30]. Those who reverence the rites decreed by God have deserved a good reward at their Lord. All livestock is made lawful for your food, except for those specifically prohibited for you. You shall avoid the abomination of idol worship, and avoid bearing false witness.
In marriage
[QS.2:221] Do not marry idolatresses unless they believe; a believing woman is better than an idolatress, even if you like her. Nor shall you give your daughters in marriage to idolatrous men, unless they believe. A believing man is better than an idolater, even if you like him. These invite to Hell, while God invites to Paradise and forgiveness, as He wills. He clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may take heed.
[QS.4:22] Do not marry the women who were previously married to your fathers - existing marriages are exempted and shall not be broken - for it is a gross offense, and an abominable act.
[QS.4:24] Also prohibited are the women who are already married, unless they flee their disbelieving husbands who are at war with you. These are God's commandments to you. All other categories are permitted for you in marriage, so long as you pay them their due dowries. You shall maintain your morality, by not committing adultery. Thus, whoever you like among them, you shall pay them the dowry decreed for them. You commit no error by mutually agreeing to any adjustments to the dowry. God is Omniscient, Most Wise.
[QS.5:103] God did not prohibit livestock that begets certain combinations of males and females, nor livestock liberated by an oath, nor the one that begets two males in a row, nor the bull that fathers ten. It is the disbelievers who invented such lies about God. Most of them do not understand.
Intoxicants & gambling
[QS.2:219] They ask you about intoxicants and gambling: say, "In them there is a gross sin, and some benefits for the people. But their sinfulness far outweighs their benefit." They also ask you what to give to charity: say, "The excess." God thus clarifies the revelations for you, that you may reflect,
[QS.5:90] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them that you may succeed.
[QS.5:91] The devil wants to provoke animosity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to distract you from remembering God, and from observing the Contact Prayers (Salat). Will you then refrain?
Killing
[QS.4:92] No believer shall kill another believer, unless it is an accident. If one kills a believer by accident, he shall atone by freeing a believing slave, and paying compensation to the victim's family, unless they forfeit such compensation as a charity. If the victim belonged to people who are at war with you, though he was a believer, you shall atone by freeing a believing slave. If he belonged to people with whom you have signed a peace treaty, you shall pay the compensation in addition to freeing a believing slave. If you cannot find a slave to free, you shall atone by fasting two consecutive months, in order to be redeemed by God. God is Knower, Most Wise.
[QS.6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you that you may understand."
[QS.17:31] You shall not kill your children due to fear of poverty. We provide for them, as well as for you. Killing them is a gross offense.
[QS.17:33] You shall not kill any person - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder; he will be helped.
Mocking others
[QS.49:11] O you who believe, no people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or make fun of your names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith. Anyone who does not repent after this, these are the transgressors.
Pride
[QS.4:36] You shall worship God alone - do not associate anything with Him. You shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, the related neighbor, the unrelated neighbor, the close associate, the traveling alien, and your servants. God does not like the arrogant show-offs.
[QS.4:37] The ones who are stingy, exhort the people to be stingy, and conceal what GOD has bestowed upon them from His bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a shameful retribution.
[QS.11:10] Whenever we bless him, after adversity had afflicted him, he says, "All adversity has gone away from me;" he becomes excited, proud.
[Qs.17:37] You shall not walk proudly on earth - you cannot bore through the earth, nor can you be as tall as the mountains.
[QS.17:38] All bad behavior is condemned by your Lord.
[QS.31:18] "You shall not treat the people with arrogance, nor shall you roam the earth proudly. God does not like the arrogant showoffs.
[QS.57:23] Thus, you should not grieve over anything you miss, nor be proud of anything He has bestowed upon you. God does not love those who are boastful, proud.
Revoked
[QS.2:187] Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the keepers of their secrets. God knew that you used to betray your souls, and He has redeemed you, and has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking what God has permitted for you. You may eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast until sunset. Sexual intercourse is prohibited if you decide to retreat to the masjid (mosque) (during the last ten days of Ramadan). These are God's laws; you shall not transgress them. God thus clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may attain salvation.
[QS.3:50] "I confirm previous scripture - the Torah - and I revoke certain prohibitions imposed upon you. I come to you with sufficient proof from your Lord. Therefore, you shall observe God, and obey me.
Sin
[QS.6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you that you may understand."
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
Sorcery
[QS.2:102] They pursued what the devils taught concerning Solomon's kingdom. Solomon, however, was not a disbeliever, but the devils were disbelievers. They taught the people sorcery, and that which was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Haroot and Maroot. These two did not divulge such knowledge without pointing out: "This is a test. You shall not abuse such knowledge." But the people used it in such evil schemes as the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone against the will of God. They thus learn what hurts them, not what benefits them, and they know full well that whoever practices witchcraft will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they sell their souls for, if they only knew.
Usury
[QS.2:275] Those who charge usury are in the same position as those controlled by the devil's influence. This is because they claim that usury is the same as commerce. However, God permits commerce, and prohibits usury. Thus, whoever heeds this commandment from his Lord, and refrains from usury, he may keep his past earnings, and his judgment rests with God. As for those who persist in usury, they incur Hell, wherein they abide forever.
[QS.3:130] O you who believe, you shall not take usury, compounded over and over. Observe God that you may succeed.
[QS.4:161] And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution.

What is prohibited?
[QS.6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand."
[QS.6:152] You shall not touch the orphans' money except in the most righteous manner, until they reach maturity. You shall give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably. We do not burden any soul beyond its means. You shall be absolutely just when you bear witness, even against your relatives. You shall fulfill your covenant with God. These are His commandments to you, that you may take heed.
[QS.7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."

23. Humility and Humanity.
1. And the faithful slaves of the Most Gracious (God) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish (the ignorant) address them (with the bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness (QS.25:63).
2. And do good to parents, kin fall, orphans, the poor, the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is stranger, the companions, by your side, the wayfarer and those slave whom your right hands possess (QS.4:36).
3. And those who spend the night in worship of their Lord, prostrate and standing. (QS.25:64).
4. God commands Muslims to be affectionate, kind, and just in their practice of tolerance with Non-Muslims. They should have good relations with non-Muslims as long as they are in peace with them. God says: 'God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for your faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: For God loves those who are just.' (QS.60:8)

24. Teaching about Economics.

6. So when you have finished (your work), devote yourselves for another work. (QS94:7)
7. He it is Who created for you all that is on the earth (QS.2:29).
8. And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad deeds) (QS.53:39)
9. Surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein provision (for your life). Little thanks do you give (QS.7:10).
10. And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meats (i.e. fish, etc), and that you bring forth out of it ornament to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (reward) (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful (QS.16:14). (see QS.45:12)
11. But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in this land (earth). Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-maker, corrupter) (QS.28:77)
12. If you give thanks, I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless, verily, My punishment is indeed severe (QS.14:7).

25. Teaching how to thank and appreciate
1. Allah will give reward to those who are grateful.(QS.3:144)
2. Why should Allah punish you, if you have thanked Allah and believed Allah. Allah is Ever All Appreciative.(QS.4:147)
3. And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein provision (for your life) Little thanks do you give (QS.7:10)
4. And Allah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight and hearts that you might give thanks to Allah (QS.16:78)
5. And We have made therein gardens of date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein. So that they may eat of the fruit thereof'and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks? (QS.36: 34-35)
6. Allah, it is He Who has subjected to you the sea, that ship may sail through it by His Command, ands that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be thankful (QS.45:12).
7. Verily your Lord is full of Grace for mankind, yet most of them do not give thank (QS.27:73)
8. Nay, But worship Allah (alone and none else) and be among the grateful (V.39:66)

12. If you give thanks,(worship Allah and obey His Laws) I(Allah) will give you more (of blessings); but if you are thankless, verily My punishment is indeed severe (QS14:7)
13. Therefore remember Me (by Praying, glorifying) I will remember you and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favors on you), never be ungrateful to Me (QS.2:152)
14. Give thanks to Allah, and whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for his own self (QS.31:12).

x26. Teaching about Death and Punishment
1. And Allah has made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp? And Allah has brought you forth from the (dust of) earth? Afterwards He will return you into it (the earth), and bring you forth (again on the Day of resurrection)? (QS.71:16-18).
2. And certainly, We it is who give life, and cause of death, and We are the Inheritor (QS.15:23)
3. Nay, when the soul reach to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit. And it will be said: Who can cure him (and save him from death). And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of parting (with world, children, wife, or husband, mother and father etc.) (QS.75:26-28).
4. And leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded) (QS.75:29)
5. The drive will be, on that Day, to Lord (return to Allah) (QS.75:30).
6. Everyone is going to test death, and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be return (QS.21:35)

8. Those who lives the angles take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil and worshipping none but Allah alone) saying that: Salamu'alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of that (the good) which you used to do in (the world) (QS.16:32)
9. And you could see when the angles take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death): they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): 'Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire. This because of that which your hands had forwarded (QS.8:50-51).
10. If you could see but see when the wrongdoer are in the agonies of death, while the angle are stretching forth their hands saying: 'deliver your soul' This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayat2 with disrespect. (QS.6:93). See (QS.8:50)
11. O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, (then take) the testimony of two just man of your own folk or two others from outside, while you are traveling through the land and death befalls on you (QS.5:106).
12. And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and die while they were Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah and His messenger) (QS. 9:84).
13. Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses build up strong and high! (QS.4:78).
14. He (Allah) will say: 'you stayed not, but a little, if had only known' (QS.23:114)
15. It is Allah who takes away the souls at the time of the death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those souls for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed (QS.39:42)

What al Quran said about Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishmael and Jesus
And remember when Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ishmael were raising the foundation of the house (the Ka'bah at Mecca) saying; 'Our lord! Accept from us. Verily You are the All Hearer the All Knower (QS.2:127).
Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and show us our Mansik and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance the Most Merciful. (QS.2:128.)
"(O Children of Israel) you shall observe the shalat prayer & charity; you shall bow down with those who bow."(QS. 2:125)
The Prophets and Messengers prior to Abraham were not given any religious practices. The human society was so primitive, only belief in God alone was all that is required for salvation.
See for example Sura (verse) 71, entitles "Noah"
Thus, religious practices appear in Quran only after Abraham; never before him.
More Proofs that Shalat observed before Muhammad (PBUH)
'Oh Mariam (Mary), Verily, God has chosen you, purified you and chosen above the women of the mankind'. (QS.3:42)
"O Mariam, you shall obey your Lord, and shall prostrate and bow down with those who bow down." (QS.3:43)
Jesus said,' Verily I am a slave of God, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet. (QS.3:44)
"(Jesus said) God has made me blessed wherever I go, and He commanded me to observe the shalat prayer and charity for as long as I live."(QS. 19:30 -31)
I have so many things that I can write here, but I would rather stop here, so I would like to ask you kindly to find and read these books by yourself. I pray that God will give all of us the true guidance so we can survive in this world and success in the world here after.

Conclusion
First of all, I would like to apology to everyone for having this journal too long. I'm afraid it may bore you to read all of the pages. I just feel blessed by God to have the opportunity to finish this journal.

Please correct me if there are mistakes in my observation. There are three religions that God sent with His messengers (Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad; peace be upon them). The three messengers came from the same descendent of Abraham, and they all worship the same God. God decides the timeline when he wanted to send His messengers.

In the beginning, God sent His messenger to the world to spread His words to all mankind. He did this because He loves His people. When God saw His people turned away from His words and became wicked creating a suffering and depression in the world, He sent his messenger with His laws (holy book). The laws that were given to Moses were simple and they became the fundamental laws of the next religion. God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses for the Israel people only and not for rest of the world. The name of the religion is Judaism with the Old Testament as its holy book.

After hundreds years later, God sent another messenger to the world the new generation. This generation had turned away from the previous God's laws. They became wicked and created a lot of suffering and depression in the world. God had chosen a person among His children to become His messenger. This person was Jesus (peace be upon him). God gave Jesus more laws to complete the Old Testament. The name of the religion is Christianity with the New Testament as its holy book.

And at the end, God sent Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the world 600 years after Jesus died. Again, God saw His people had turned away from His laws. God chose Muhammad (peace be upon him) to become His last messenger and He gave him new laws to complete the previous laws. Finally God says in the Quran, 'This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. (QS. 5:3)

God says, 'Verily, those who believe and those who are Jew, Christians, Muslims, and Sabians, whoever believe in God and the last day and does righteous deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve' (QS. 2:62). (seeQS: 199)(QS.3:13-115)(QS.3:65)

God loves all of the people that He had created us uniquely and beautifully. If we all read God's words carefully and obey His laws with all of our soul, heart and mind, there is no place on this planet to fight or to kill or to hate one another. All of the people with all of their differences should love each other, kind to each other, friendly and work together peacefully. With this condition, God then will bless all of us even more. I absolutely believe in God and His promises.

These holy books are influencing people of the world globally. God's words brought inspiration, solace, courage, love, happiness, family, truth, freedom, human relationship, peace, faith to those who read. I would suggest to everyone to read these books.

Last but not least, I would like to thank Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Deb who have taught me English. They are wonderful motivators I have ever met. Without their helps, I never will be what I have achieved today. I greatly appreciate their support. God bless them always.

Sincerely yours,
