Please share your own thoughts on the actual quranic text as to what sense do you get when you read the quran from Al hamd to wannaas topic by topic in its own context just like we read a story book and learn what it says or what the real meesage or lesson in the story is.
My veiw is, the quran is a book from Allah for teaching us about revolutions to better life for mankind in this world in the hope of hereafter. It is a book for building nations and it is for guidance to that end and that is termed worship of Allah.
I take it as final book of guidance from Allah for mankind through his final messenger after whom in my view there is no more prophethood nor any more message from Allah.
My translation or short interpretation of the quran as I understand it. Anyone is free to share his translation or short interpretation if it is different from mine in any singificant way.
I seek refuge in guidance of Allah from any conspirator who conspires to lead away from it.
1) Any revelution comes about due to opposition to already existing system or way of life.
2) Since each opposing ideology tries to gain or maintain its support for its survival hence there is natural rivalry between ideolies and their followers and hence natural opposition between their followers. This gives rise to fights between opposing factions. These fights are in form of conspiracies against each other as well as open fights to gain over or to take control from each other. Islam and kufr, muslims and kafirs ar therefore not any diffent in this regard.
It is a tug of war, if one has to win the other has to lose. If we are true muslims then we must do all we can to ensure that islam is the winner and if we are not then again it matters whether islam wins or loses as no one wishes to live under a systen or ideologyn that one does not like and one actually opposes.
I have already explained as to how to understand the quran so I am not going to repeat things here again. Rather it is time to use that information to see what we can get our of the quran itself using that information.
Surah 1 revealed in makkah as 5th in its revelational order
SURAH AL FATIHA
1) Say,In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the beneficent
2) All glory is for Allah the Lord of the Nations
3) The compassionate, the beneficent
4) Master of the day of the judgment
5) We believe in you and we seek your guidance.
6) Guide us to the path of life that is right.
7) The Path of those whom you blessed with prosperity, of those whom you did not let suffer indignation because they went not astray.
This surah has been taught by Allah to the prophet and by him to his followers as to what words should people use to pray to Allah.
Allah told us to seek refuge in him before we start reading his guidance for us. So We seek refuge in guidance of Allah from being lead away from his guidance by anyone who conspires against it in order to inflict damage on the ideology and its followers so the ideology one supports stays intact and survives.
It is in fact a clear warning that we have enemies of whom we need to be very careful.
The next thing we are told is, Allah is merciful and compassionate and not a monster or tyrant or some one to be affraid of.
This is why he deserves praises, for no one praises a monster or cruel person who inflicts others with undue oppression and tyrany.
Allah has set up a day for settling acounts properly because he has given people life and liberty with guidance to do as they see fit in this world.
All that remains is for people to learn the guidance and follow it so that they have a great life in this world and even better in the world to come.
Therefore we are told to seek guidance from Allah and then the rest of the quran is there just to guide us as to how to bring about a world order and maintain it that we all can be proud of in here and in hereafter.
We are told that there were people living in this world before us who also were given guidance and they did alrgiht so long as they followed the guidance.
