Introduction Of Book The Righteousness & Methods of Thought - Call For Thinking Thought=Desirability (Culture+Science)

Allah, the One, the Only, the Eternal

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


Allah the Most High said: “Believers, if any among you renounce the Faith, God will replace them by others who love Him and are loved by Him, who are humble towards the faithful and stern towards the unbelievers, zealous for God's cause and fearless of man's censure. Such is the grace of God: He bestows it on whom He will. God is munificent and All-Knowing.” [Surah of The Table: 54].

Allah the One, the Only, the Eternal, My Lord, My Master, and My Beloved! You gave permission when You said: “as they will love Him”, otherwise I wouldn’t have admitted my affection! Transcendent is Your praise filling the heaven and the earth, You have the most high example in my soul and my vision and yet You are even greater and more lofty. To You alone do my ears hearken, and to you alone is my affair subject, and through Your remembrance were my limbs and heart healed. Allah, the One, the Only, Allah the Eternal.

Praise is to Allah who has guided us to Islam, and graced us with faith, and honored us with servitude. All this is a beneficence given by Allah to those with sincere intentions and justice in following the way of truth in faith in Allah the Most High.

Allah (Exalted is He) says: “It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong - that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance” [Surah of the Livestock: 82].

As shunning injustice is justice itself, injustice here is injustice towards one’s own self as faith in Allah is a particular affair to man’s own self, and thus he alone is responsible for the outcomes of his choices as choice is a human essential affair. Sincerity in faith is a way which is closely attached to man’s intention and to his intellectual and scientific approach, so we must affirm that man’s intellectual approach is committed to the knowledge of certainty, and that Allah is the Most Clear Truth, the Creator and Sovereign of all things, singular in Names, Qualities, and Acts, having nothing that is like Him.

Based on this, justice and security mean the sincerity of faith, and guidance to Allah within a conviction that is both intellectual and scientific. The intellectual conviction is the concept of creation and the purpose of life, and knowing the means to achieve this purpose, then subjecting one’s intellectual powers for it as man wishes to be inclusive in his use of science for the different aspects of life.

As for the scientific conviction, it is the concepts of truth, honesty, and sincerity which preserve the mind from any perversion or perverse thought and make it compatible with every scientific and intellectual truth.

The scientific conviction is made of two integral parts through which the foundations of sciences are unified in speaking to the human intellect, as the contradiction between these sciences takes its negative toll on the human thought, and that is why they are integral and taking one without the other would create an intellectual disturbance and even a crisis.

These sciences are:

• Inspired Science

This is the proofs, or the science inspired from Allah (Exalted is He) to one of His chosen servants o guide people to the path of righteousness.

Allah the Most High says: “Then sent We our apostles in succession: every time there came to a people their apostle, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!” [Surah of the Believers: 44].

Allah has sent the Messengers to guide people, they came one after the other as people perverted the proofs revealed by Allah. The succession of the Messengers was to return people to the Path of Truth, but perversion is the purpose of every selfish desire and farness from Allah is the share of those who do not believe.

The Divine Messages were sealed with the Message of our Master, Muhammad (Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him), through the revelation of the Holy Quran. This preserved the inspired science in these clear proofs, it was an example of those preceding us containing the content of all Divine Books revealed in the preceding Messages of Allah’s Unification. Allah revealed it as a call and preaching for the pious, it is a book that has no doubt within, a guidance for the pious. It is also a knowledge placed as a proof for the Messengers when they ceased to be among the people.

Allah (Glory and Greatness are His) spared no proof in this Holy Quran, He clarified all. He who is not guided by it is dominated by his own selfish desire and has shunned true scientific approach from his thought.

All the qualities, the names, and the creativity which is in Creator’s making and the sciences of the creatures were told about in that Book that has no doubt, and which Allah willed to reveal to creation. It is the requirement of the primordial nature that was created within the people.

Concerning it Allah the Most High said: “Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah. I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! And make not another an object of worship with Allah. I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! Similarly, no apostle came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"! Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds! So turn away from them: not thine is the blame. But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers. I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me. No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever). For the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)! Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!” [Surah of the Winnowing Winds: 50 -60].

It is an innate desire and need within people to seek security, it can only be attained through rising to Allah’s purpose from creation. So the human need for tranquility and security are realized in the submission to Allah’s commandment in creation, through sincerity in servitude within the Quranic approach. As this need in man is the thought through which he interprets his desires, its proofs are built on the knowledge of certainty, the knowledge which realizes the purpose of creating both humans and Djinn. It is Allah’s primordial nature, and there is no change in Allah’s creation.

• Pure Science

It is the second part of the sciences, the one perceived as a result of experimentation, observation, and deduction. It is a proof of man’s ability to identify the environment surrounding him, and the other living creatures in a manner that serves his needs.

The integration of these sciences: The inspired and the pure ones, in speaking to the human intellect is a sign of the tenacity of the human thought in the face of life’s difficulties and the intellectual crisis. The contradiction and discord in the desires of people and the innovations of perverse religions that worship other than Allah as a result, are but means to take people far from honesty, justice, and worshipping Allah as He wills them to.

Allah the Most High said: “And worship others than Allah,- such as have no power of providing them, for sustenance, with anything in heavens or earth, and cannot possibly have such power? Invent not similitude for Allah, for Allah knoweth, and ye know not. Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favors from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not. Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way be directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?” [Surah of the Bee: 73- 76].

The creation of the heavens and the earth contains signs indicating the Creator and His Omnipotence, Exalted is He. O ye people, would you give examples as you worship what is other than Allah? People follow their own whims when they worship what is other than the Most High Allah, and when they are unable to explain the creation of the heavens and the earth, and find their false deity unable to create anything, they would say that this creation is eternal and has no creator.

Worshipping other than Allah compels the servant to submit to his deity, or whim. Is this the equal of the servant who worships Allah with clear proof, and true knowledge spending for His sake publicly and secretly?

Much praise is Allah’s, but most of them do not know. Some of them do know, but in all cases they were ruled with their whims till their insights became blind, they are no longer able to differentiate between the servant following his false whims, and the servant that worships Allah with insight and knowledge, spending from what Allah provided him publicly and secretly.

The example of the first servant, the one which followed his own whims, is the mute one, unable to do anything, directed towards where his Lord directs him and having no goodness… how can he be equated with one who commands justice, having the knowledge of certainty, and the straight path.

He who does not worship the Most High Allah would have his allegiance to his whims, so his intention is the exact opposite of honesty, justice, and sincerity. He is a liar as he is dishonest in his intention, and he does not worship the Creator –and worshipping the Creator is true justice, and doing the opposite is injustice and self-deceit. The Creator is needless of the servant, but the servant needs the Most High Allah. People live in Allah’s Mercy. His mercy subjected what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and every grace for that matter. Every trial and affliction is Allah’s test for people, to differentiate truth from falsehood.

If you truly know Allah (Exalted is He), you would find sincerity is in His worship. While worshipping your own whims means that one is seeking his own pleasures without caring for anything else, this person would have not conviction within himself. He performs no goodness because he knows he is in falsehood even if he convinces himself otherwise.

While he who responds to truth and justice in worshipping Allah would subject his energies for the support of justice and truth, having conviction within himself. Wherever directed himself he would perform goodness since he is on the straight path. What was based on falsehood is false itself, so do not give examples to the Most High Allah in knowledge, Allah has the most high example, He knows and you know not.

As for insistence on what was perverted, on lies, on deceit, this would not change the reality of the perversion, lies do not become truths no matter how careful one is. The truth of the situation has intellectual and accumulative negative effects that would make matters even worse. They may result in open or hidden atheism, for what is basically false remains false. Damnation is known through insistence on lies and falsehood.

Allah the Most High says: “When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful": Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?" Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance they may turn (unto Us). Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our signs, but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray. If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect. Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their own souls” [Surah of the Heights: 172-177].

Allah (Exalted is He) created Adam’s offspring in successive generations, each generation being the offspring of the generation preceding it. He sent Messengers with knowledge and warning, pointing to the Path of the Truth, and warning people from the outcomes of following whims. So, in addition to the primordial nature and the innate human need to worship Allah, people have witnessed that Allah is the True Creator.

Only individual whims and desires lead people astray, so fathers and their polytheism is no excuse, Allah’s signs should suffice to return one to the paths of Truth. Such are the tidings of those to whom the signs of guidance were manifest, yet they shunned them and followed misguided whims through demonic insights, and relaxed to the love of this world in following his whims. This is an image of utmost intellectual decadence in contrast to the loftiness of the Celestine Message and the intellectual sublimity manifest in the meditation upon Allah’s signs and creation that it contains.

Through these great verses we can deduct the manner through which the human though takes place:

Thought = whims (Culture + Knowledge), we shall identify these in great detail later.

The human inability to detach for truth and justice means that his priorities are still in worshipping what is other than Allah. Extremism and bigotry are the results of falsehood, when one cannot face truth and justice. All this gives perverse and tense results that affect man’s activity till he has the attitude of a rabid dog in defending falsehood. By then, man would have exhausted all his means and cancelled his intellect. If he does others injustice, he did this injustice to himself in the first place.

We can deduct the close tie between thought and the psychic state from this. Though is an intricate maze of relations and human values, all human activities are the results of thought. That is why the intellectual researcher is psychological researcher as well. Meaning that he is well-versed in the outward and inward subtleties of the human psychology through thoughts and whims. In relation to the preceding equation, determining thought and whims leads us to know what is hidden within these psychologies.

Allah the Most High said: “The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Surah should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! But verily Allah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed). If thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis): "We were only talking idly and in play." Say: "Was it at Allah, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that ye were mocking?" Make ye no excuses: ye have rejected Faith after ye had accepted it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, for that they are in sin” [Surah of the Repentance: 64-66].

The outward behavior with which people express themselves is closely attached to their psychological states. Also thought is the result of the intercourse of environmental extravert and psychological introvert factors that may be simple and clear, and may be complicated and whose effect may be affected by several other factors that would determine the intellectual characteristics as we will later explain.

Most of man’s decisions and actions are spontaneous and simple these enter within the realm of whims. But as they had one thing present for them, they missed the big picture represented with realities, the knowledge of certainty, and the purpose of creation in life and death, and the other important things.

Only ignorance in Allah would cause man to depend on this, Allah the Most High says: “So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last) till the Day, whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again). Know they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their secret counsels, and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen? Those who slander such of the believers as give themselves freely to (deeds of) charity, as well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labor,- and throw ridicule on them,- Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: and they shall have a grievous penalty. Whether thou ask for their forgiveness, or not, (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger. and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious” [Surah of the Repentance: 77 – 80].

The sickness of hypocrisy is in the hearts, and it is progressive with age as hypocrisy becomes a nature within these hearts, it does not leave them till they meet their Lord. For they hated honesty and thus were lying, as if they do not know that Allah knows their secrets and public speeches and that He knows the Unseen. They mocked the believers in alms-giving as they have no ability but to mock. Allah mocks them in reality and He has a wrath upon them, He promised them a most painful torment. He will never forgive them so do not ask for forgiveness for them as it is the same as not asking. They were non-believers in Allah and His Messenger, and followed their whims in infidelity and immorality away from faith.

Whim is existent and present in people just as it was present in their predecessors, it moves and changes according to the circumstances of time and place from generation to generation, as if they willed it to one another. We do not guide whom we wish, and nothing of the affair is ours, it is just a remembrance to benefit people and those who hope in Allah and the Day of Judgment.

Those who struggle with their own selves and heed to the Truth would be guided by Allah. Who is more unjust than one who tells lies concerning Allah, or denies the truth when it does reach him? Is Hellfire not an abode for the infidels?

Allah the Most High says: “And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right” [Surah of the Spider: 69].

Allah (Exalted is He) is with those who do right in following honesty which leads to truth in the Holy Quran.

Allah the Most High says: “"No intercession can avail in His Presence, except for those for whom He has granted permission. So far (is this the case) that, when terror is removed from their hearts (at the Day of Judgment, then) will they say, 'what is it that your Lord commanded?' they will say, 'That which is true and just; and He is the Most High Most Great'." Say: "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and the earth?" Say: "It is Allah. and certain it is that either we or ye are on right guidance or in manifest error!" Say: "Ye shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what ye do." Say: "Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end decide the matter between us (and you) in truth and justice: and He is the one to decide, the One Who knows all."” [Surah of Sheba: 23- 26].

No intercession would be beneficial except the one permitted by Allah, if you and your whims are separated, you will remember the True Saying in the Holy Quran, the Saying of the Most High and Great One, Exalted is He, how great is His Essence and Sovereignty.

His commandment and rule in the heaven and the earth is what gave reason to your life and sustenance, if this was hidden to you, or denied by you, then us or you are guided or in clear misguidance. You will not be asked about what we did, and we will not be asked about your actions, Allah the Most High will gather us then separate us through Truth and Justice, Exalted is He, the Ruling One, the Knowing One.
