non-Muslims?
The sections of this article are:
1- What is the Wisdom of Islam?
- Allah Almighty knows what's in the heart and will judge us (all humans,
Muslims and non-Muslims) according to our intentions.
- Allah Almighty listens to our prayers; He is close and listens!
2- How will Allah Almighty Judge the non-Muslims? Should a person be a Muslim
first to be accepted in Paradise by Allah Almighty?
- As long as the person believes in "One GOD" and does Righteousness, then he
should be ok.
- So how will we be judged at Judgement Day?
3- So am I suggesting that there is no need to believe in the Noble Quran? Or there
is
no need to try to spread Islam to Unitarians such as the Jews?
4- Conclusion.
As I read the Noble Quran almost everyday, I always gain more and more respect to this
Wonderful True Religion of GOD. Humans today had so corrupted the beauty of believing
in the One True Living GOD, that they no longer became certain of which path to take.
Humans today are full of confusion and fear because many of them are apart from Islam.
That is why we are having continuous religious and territorial battles and brutal
blood shed throughout the world.
What is the Wisdom of Islam?
Islam is a very simple religion. Islam simply means submitting yourself in peace to
the One True Living GOD:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor
is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and
Cherisher of all the worlds! To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth:
and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!. (The Noble Quran, 45:36-37)"
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as
between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners
with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than
Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims
(bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
The GOD of Islam is the GOD of everything He created. There is no middle man between
the Creation and the Creator; "It was We Who Created man, and We know what dark
suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
(The Noble Quran, 50:16)"
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the
prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to
My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran,
2:186)"
Allah Almighty knows what's in the heart and will judge us (all humans, Muslims and
non-Muslims) according to our intentions:
Let us look at Noble Verses 26:88-91 "The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will
avail, But only he (will prosper) that brings to God a sound heart; to the righteous,
the Garden will be brought near, and to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be
placed in full view."
Allah Almighty created all mankind with different races, mentality and beliefs; "O
mankind! [this includes all races and all nations] We created you from a single (pair)
of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each
other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of
you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"
Throughout the Noble Quran, Allah Almighty sometimes talks directly to Muslims, to non
Muslims and to all mankind (both Muslims and non Muslims). This by itself means a lot
to me as a human being. It tells me that Allah Almighty's Book (The Noble Quran) is
not just meant for Muslims only. Anyone can reach his Creator through Islam.
It also tells me that anyone can gain the Love of Allah Almighty, which would
eventually lead him to know His Creator and end up in paradise under Him: "It is He
Who has Created you [humans]; and of you [humans] are some that are unbelievers, and
some that are believers: And Allah sees well all that ye do. He has created the
heavens and the earth in just portions, and has given you [humans] shape, and made
your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the final Goal. He knows what is in the heavens
and on earth; and He knows what ye conceal and what ye reveal: Allah Knows well the
(secrets) of (all) hearts. (The Noble Quran, 64:2-4)"
He knows well that we need Him, and that we are nothing without Him and His guidance;
"O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allah: but Allah is the One free of all wants,
worthy of all praise. If He so pleased, He could blot you out and bring in a new
creation, Nor is that difficult for Allah. (The Noble Quran, 35:15-17)"
Allah Almighty listens to our prayers; He is close and listens!
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the
prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to
My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran,
2:186)"
How will Allah Almighty Judge the non-Muslims? Should a person be a Muslim first to be
accepted in Paradise by Allah Almighty?
It is important to know that in the Noble Quran, Allah Almighty will admit to Paradise
those from the Muslims and non-Muslims who He loves because of their righteous work
and belief. Let us look at the following Noble Verses:
"O mankind! [this includes all races and all nations] We created you from a single
(pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know
each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most
righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble
Quran, 49:13)"
"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] are a
portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and
they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they
enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in
(all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (The Noble Quran,
3:113-3:114)"
The above Noble Verses clearly speak about the righteous non-Muslims who believe in
One GOD Almighty and do righteousness and will have their Great Reward and enter
Paradise. There is no mention of them must first believe in the Noble Quran's
Revelations and in Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as GOD's Messenger to be
accepted to Paradise.
My definition of the word "Muslim": Please be advised that the following statement of
mine is only from my personal knowledge and beliefs that I built from learning Islam:
"I believe that the definition of "Muslim" is not someone who believes in Allah
Almighty and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and the Noble Quran only. The
definition of "Muslim" is someone who believes in the Oneness of GOD Almighty. This
makes any Unitarian a "Muslim". This also makes the definition of "Islam" not limited
to believing in Allah Almighty, the Noble Quran, and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him only. I believe that the definition of "Islam" is the belief in One GOD Almighty.
This could be outside the scope of the Noble Quran and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him."
To support my statement above, let us look at the following Noble Verse:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor
is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as
between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners
with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than
Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims
(bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
Also, Jesus peace be upon him taught his followers to be "Muslims" 600 years before
the birth of Muhammad peace be upon him: "And behold! I inspired the Disciples to have
faith in Me [Allah] and Mine Messenger [Jesus]; they said, ''We have faith, and do
thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims.' (The Noble Quran, 5:111)"
Noble Verse 5:111 seems to agree perfectly with Jesus' teachings in the Bible's Hebrew
New Testament in Luke 6:40 "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is
fully trained will be like his teacher."
Let us look at what Jesus said in Luke 6:40 in the language of Aramaic translated into
Hebrew below:
"Ein talmeed na'leh 'al rabbo; shekken kal adam she'MUSHLAM yihyeh k'rabbo."
Taken from the Aramaic bible society.
Note: Aramaic and Hebrew are read from right to left, which is apposite to English.
Translation in English: "No student can be above his teacher, but everyone that is a
MUSLIM, can be as his teacher."
Important Note: The Hebrew word "Mushlam" comes from the root "Sh L M". "Shalom"
which comes from the same root means "peace". The Arabic word "Muslim" comes from the
root "S L M". "Salam" means "peace". "Salem" means "safe". Also taken from the
Aramaic bible society.
Every religion in this universe started with a Prophet of GOD Almighty. Judaism
started with Moses peace be upon him, Christianity started with Jesus peace be upon
him and so on. Islam on the other hand did not start with Muhammad peace be upon him.
It simply started with the creation of Adam peace be upon him. The minute the man
of mankind was created, the beautiful religion of Allah Almighty Islam was too created
for mankind. Islam is a religion that started with Adam and ended with Muhammad peace
be upon them. Every religion of Allah Almighty in between such as Judaism and
Christianity is part of Islam.
This is very important to know, because now we can see that the people who believed in
the One Living True Undivided GOD Almighty before the birth of Muhammad peace be upon
him were also Muslims. It is essential to not confuse the definition of the word
"Muslim". A Muslim is one who believes in the religion of Islam, and as I mentioned
above, the word "Islam" means submitting yourself in peace to Allah Almighty.
Important Note: It is up to Allah Almighty to decide who goes to Heaven and who goes
to Hell. But as we've seen in the above Noble Verses, Allah Almighty doesn't just
care about our faith, but also about our good deeds and hearts.
All good righteous Unitarians (those who believe in One GOD Almighty) are Muslims
according to Islam. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him taught us that faith in One
GOD is the most important and fundamental principle. It is the heart of Islam and the
mainspring of its power. All other beliefs, commands and laws of Islam stand firm on
this foundation. All of them receive strength from this source. Take it away, and
there is nothing left of Islam.
One of the beauties of Islam is that when an individual becomes a Unitarian, this
wonderful religion of GOD (Islam) comes natural to him by the will of Allah Almighty;
"...Such are among the Signs of God: He whom God, guides is rightly guided; but he
whom God leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the
Right Way. (The Noble Quran, 18:17)".
It comes in such a miraculous way that it creates a direct connection between Allah
Almighty and the individual; "...Allah has endeared the faith to you, Has made it
beautiful in your hearts, and He Has made hateful to you unbelief, wickedness, and
rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness- A grace and favour from
Allah; and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 49:7-8)"
Once that connection is created, then the new Muslim will naturally avoid unbelief and
wickedness and stay in the Path of Allah Almighty. The Muslim's faith will then only
increase and strengthen:
"For, believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts,
and when they hear His Signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all)
their trust in their Lord. (The Noble Quran, 8:2)"
"Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to
strengthen those who believe, and as a guide and glad tidings to Muslims. (The Noble
Quran, 16:102)"
"It is He [Allah] Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers, that
they may add faith to their faith- For to Allah belong the forces of the heavens and
the earth; and Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 48:4)"
As long as the person believes in "One GOD" and does Righteousness, then he should be
ok:
"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything
else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous
indeed. (The Noble Quran, 4:48)"
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good,
and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a
friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"
Idol worshiping, Trinity, and all other forms of using other Creations of GOD as
mediators between yourself and GOD Almighty are not accepted by Allah Almighty. This
supports my statement above about a "Muslim" is one who believes in One GOD only.
"They say: 'Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation).' Say thou:
'Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with
God.' (The Noble Quran, 2:135)"
"Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his
will to God's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with God. (The Noble Quran,
3:67)"
Abraham peace be upon him was one who believed in One True Living GOD Almighty. He
was a Unitarian, but different from the Jews today who don't believe in Jesus nor
Muhammad peace be upon them. Please visit The Jews' offensive views toward Jesus,
Mary, Women, and People. That is why Allah Almighty doesn't accept the Jews' way of
life today as the Truth. They lost their scriptures and they are corrupt in the eyes
of Allah Almighty.
The "true in Faith" or the "Religion of Abraham" that GOD Almighty accepts is as I
said, believing in One True Living GOD Almighty. This is the main point of Islam, and
the belief that would ultimately guide the individual to Salvation.
So how will we be judged at Judgement Day?
Allah Almighty is quite clear in the Noble Quran about how He will judge us in the Day
of Judgement.
Let us look at Noble Verse 10:61 "In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever
portion thou mayest be reciting from the Quran, and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be
doing, We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden
from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not
the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record."
In this Noble Verse, we see Allah Almighty clearly describing to us that every single
act even an atom of a thing we do in life from good and bad will be recorded in our
records.
Let us look at Noble Verse 34:3 "The unbelievers say, 'Never to us will come the
Hour': Say, 'Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you; by Him Who knows
the unseen, from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth:
Nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the record perspicuous.'"
Here we see in this Noble Verse Allah Almighty responding to the unbelievers when they
approached our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah Almighty's response
was that every atom of thing they do can not be hidden and is recorded in the record
perspicuous.
Let us look at Noble Verse 34:22 "Say: 'Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy, besides
God: They have no power,- not the weight of an atom,- in the heavens or on earth: No
(sort of) share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to God.'" In this
Noble Verse Allah Almighty claims that no god but He will do the Judgement in the Day
of Judgement. All of the idols and images that people worshiped and still do will not
take part of any Judgement. They will be worthless.
Let us look at Noble Verses 99:7-8 "Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of
good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it."
Everything we do in life will be recorded for us. For every atom of good we do in
life we shall see it, and for every atom of evil we do in life we shall see it also.
And Allah Almighty will ultimately make His decision on whether you will make it to
heaven or will make it to hell.
So am I suggesting that there is no need to believe in the Noble Quran? Or there is no
need to try to spread Islam to Unitarians such as the Jews?
Absolutely not! As a Muslim who believes in Allah Almighty and all of His
Revelations, I must believe with all my heart and mind that the Noble Quran is the
Seal of all the Revelations that came from Allah Almighty, and it must be followed.
Allah Almighty clearly said: "The Religion before God is Islam (submission to His
Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each
other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of God, God is
swift in calling to account. (The Noble Quran, 3:19)"
But the religion of Islam is not just limited to the Noble Quran's Revelations.
Islam started from Adam and ended with Muhammad peace be upon them. Islam was
perfected or finished with the Revelations of the Noble Quran: "...This day have I
perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you
Islam as your religion....(The Nobel Quran, 5:3)"
Islam as I mentioned above existed before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and ended
with him: "The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on
Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and
make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than God, hard is the
(way) to which thou callest them. God chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and
guides to Himself those who turn (to Him). (The Noble Quran, 42:13)"
My suggestion: What I am suggesting is that when a Muslim is asked about who from
Mankind will Allah Almighty admit to Paradise and whom He won't admit, he should say
"Only He the Almighty Knows, because He will decide based on the person's belief and
good deeds on whether to admit him to Heaven or to Hell. There is no set rule on how
the Judgement will happen. Every individual will have his own special and unique case
that Allah Almighty will consider."
That is why Allah Almighty said in Noble Verses 99:7-8 "Then shall anyone who has done
an atom's weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil,
shall see it."
He, the Almighty, also said:
"In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting
from the Quran,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses
thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as)
the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the
greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record. (The Noble Quran,
10:61)"
"There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on God: He knoweth
the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear
Record. (The Noble Quran, 11:6)"
"Knowest thou not that God knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Indeed it is all
in a Record, and that is easy for God. (The Noble Quran, 22:70)"
"Nor is there aught of the unseen, in heaven or earth, but is (recorded) in a clear
record. (The Noble Quran, 27:75)"
"The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour": Say, "Nay! but most surely, by
my Lord, it will come upon you;- by Him Who knows the unseen,- from Whom is not hidden
the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor is there anything less than
that, or greater, but is in the Record Perspicuous: (The Noble Quran, 34:3)"
"And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be
placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just
decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least). (The
Noble Quran, 39:69)"
"Every matter, small and great, is on record. (The Noble Quran, 54:53)"
"No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before
We bring it into existence: That is truly easy for God: (The Noble Quran, 57:22)"
"Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye
my Record! (The Noble Quran, 69:19)"
"And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my
Record had not been given to me! (The Noble Quran, 69:25)"
"And all things have We preserved on record. (The Noble Quran, 78:29)"
Please visit Is our destiny pre-determined by GOD? Does GOD choose who is evil and
who is good? How come GOD didn't make all of us good if He is the "Most Merciful" and
"Most Just"?
Did GOD create some Men and Jinns to be destined to hell?
Conclusion:
Islam is a beautiful True Religion of Allah Almighty that frees the human being from
wickedness, confusion and frustration, and sheds the Light of Allah Almighty into his
heart and leads him to the true Path in a miraculous and natural process. Allah
Almighty is the GOD of all mankind and is there for all the righteous. Every little
atom of good and evil an individual makes in life will be recorded for him, and he
shall see it in the Day of Judgement. Then Allah Almighty will make His ultimate
decision for that person on whether he shall go to hell or to heaven.
