The Connections with God and Man

The Connections with God and Man

 

Man must recognize, respect and revere connections with God and his fellow beings [003:104]. God created man [076:003] of best make [095:005] from what was nothing to be talked about before [076:002]. Man turns aside if blessed but comes back begging for more blessings if hurt [017:084, 041:052]. He never gets tired of asking for more good [041:050] but sends ahead only wickedness [075:006] as if his bones won’t be put together [075:003] and he given life again.

 

Man in Arabic is called INSAAN. It is derived from the root UNS which means love. The word Insaan is the plural-for-two-persons which is a unique feature of the Arabic grammar.

 

Man is thus created with two inborn loves. One is love for God. The other is his concern for his fellow beings. The verse [003:104] emphasizes that man must serve both connections.

 

Man’s love for his Creator is expressed by being taken care of. God created man so he may worship Him [051:057]. God is the Provider who created all that is necessary for man’s life [002:030]. God demands no food or feeding from man [051:058]. Nevertheless man is greedy, selfish, ungrateful [042:049, 022:039], takes for granted everything, expects for more, and keeps asking all the time as if worshiping God was just another means to reach his earthly goals.

 

Man’s love for his fellow beings is expressed by taking care of. Examples of how man keeps giving are everywhere. See a mother give and give for her children and their father, her own father and brothers. See billions in the congregations of all religions in the world just give and keep on giving. Yet the parasitic clergy in the religion exploits man’s innate nature to give — except a few takers who comparatively are a tiny fraction of the percentage of those givers.

 

God gives. Man takes. Then most men share with others all they get [057:019, Law of Charity] and Worship None Except God. But a tiny percentage of men start being worshiped by others and it is they whose such pursuit merits to be thwarted by other men, the mankind.

 

The Holy Qor-aan lays down Islam [See Islam -101] to cover all elements of human life. It pens down what rights man has. It lays out the obligations how others must honor those rights.

 

Learning the Holy Qor-aan, knowing Islam, understanding the real Humanism, attaining Righteousness, obtaining Salvation, or whatever other terminology one may use, are like a ship on the high seas that has a captain, crew and cargo. It has fair-paying passengers on many decks, levels and rooms. All in the ship and even those clinging to it reach its destination when it gets there. Man’s relations with other men are like that ship. God’s plan is destined to be filled.

 

God created man to worship Him [051:057] and do noble deeds whether a Moslem, Jew, Christian [002:063, 005:070, 022:018], or likewise a Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh or whatever. God promises to forgive violations of connections to Him. However, disregarding connections with man and others and flouting them is a different ballgame as underscored by the verse [003:104].
