Anam 161-163

161- SAY: MY LORD HAS GUIDED ME TO A THE STRAIGHT PATH, AN UPRIGHT RELIGION, THE RELIGION OF IBRAHIM WHO WAS PURE IN FAITH AND WAS NOT OF THE IDLE WORSHIPPERS.

162- SAY: MY SALAH, RITES, LIFE AND DEATH ARE FOR ALLAH THE LORD OF ALL BEINGS.

163- HE HAS NO PARTNERS, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO DO, AND I AM IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE MUSLIMS.

The straight path to Allah the Highest is the religion sent us.  This religion includes in Allah the Highest, the Day of Resurrection, books, and messengers, and fate, and living the way Allah the Highest wants for us, which is detailed in Allah’s Book and the example and teachings of His messenger prayer and peace upon him.

Allah the Highest describes His religion, Islam as “AND UPRIGHT RELIGION”.  The Arabic word means oversees and takes care of.  Certainly Islam takes care of every aspect of our life. 

Ibrahim peace upon him was the father of the prophets, and who called us Muslims.  This is the religion of Moses and Jesus peace upon them and reached its perfect and final form in the Message of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him.  Allah the Highest said: “TODAY I COMPLETED YOUR RELIGION FOR YOU AND PERFECTED MY BOUNTY UPON YOU AND AM SATISFIED WITH ISLAM AS YOUR RELIGION”.  (S: 5 A: 3)

Our life, worship, and death should be for and according to the way Allah the Highest decided for us.  We should not consider any person or thing or idea to be equal to and more worthy of following than Allah, our Lord and God.  We should be sincere in faith and obedient in actions. 

All articles of faith and belief are in certain degrees and grades, faith may be strong or weak; our worship and our trust in God might be strong or weak.  The believers should not be satisfied with the back seats, or with being low down on matters of faith, but try to be of the front runners and the foremost, they get the special prize of being closer to Allah the Highest as Ibrahim peace upon him was.  Allah the Highest said: “AND THE FOREMOST THE FOREMOST * THEY ARE THE ONES DRAWN NEAR (TO GOD) * IN THE GARDENS OF DELIGHT * A GROUP OF THE EARLY ONES * AND FEW OF THE LATER ONES”.  (S: 56 A: 10-14)

We ask Allah to be among them.
