But what happened was something different.
Muslim Empire had many peoples who had many races and cultures and religions before Islam. Most of those people converted to Islam after two centuries or more after the Prophet Mohammed.
As a new Muslims they brought their religious backgrounds and attributed them to the religion of Islam by inventing sayings or [Hadeeth] and attributing them to Allah and/or the Prophet Mohammed as the Sunni sect do, or attributed these sayings to the Prophet Mohammed and his nearest family [Aal Al Bayt] as the Shiites do, or attribute sayings to their sacred Saints claiming that they got the divine revelation directly from God as the Sufi sect do.

Every Muslim has the right to express his opinion or Ijtehad as long he attributes it to himself, and then every one has the right to follow him or to reject his opinion, but it is great sin in Islam to attribute your opinion to Allah or to His Messenger after the completeness of the Quran and the death of the prophet Mohammed because you make your human perspective divine teachings should be obeyed by any Muslim.

It is against the objectivity and fairness to bring one side and ignore the other one. It is also for the favor of Islam to discuss and question this dark side. If we believe that Islam is the religion of justice and it gives the woman her rights and makes it equal to the man, then we have to deal with the other side which gives opposite direction.

The details are in my unpublished book:” The Laws of woman between the Quran and the Sunni tradition”. There is also my published research:”The right of woman to preside the Islamic state”. Fundamental Historic analytic study. It is translated into English and published on my website. Although Dr. Abd Allah confirms that Jihad in Islam means only to defend yourself and your country and your religion, he justifies another kind of war; when Muslims attacks another country to establish justice and freedom. He has no Quranic prove, so he mentioned some proves from Muslim history as the same problem of mixing Islam with Muslims. According to the Quranic confirmation, the only reason for war is to defend your self and your country against the enemy who is attacking you, and you can respond to his attack by equivalent attack, but not to start war or attack the others.[2 :190 -194] Accordingly, Muslims after the Prophet Mohammed violated the Quran when they conquered other peoples and other countries in The Third paper: the History of Jihad in Islam.

But he is more influenced by the Sufism than other Muslim sects. So, he mentioned the Sufi Jihad as one meaning of the Islamic Jihad. According to the Sufism, Al Jihad is Jehad of “ Nafs” or striving one’s soul to make it abandon its body to reach the Almighty God ;Allah and unite in Him and becomes part of Him. This Kind of Jihad - as they cleared in their scriptures- could be achieved by certain Sufi trainings. In the Middle aged centuries they used to separate themselves in their own religious buildings; named: khawanick, Zawaya, Robat, Kobba, Torba and Mosques to practice this Jihad, but as their historic books mentioned they used to commit all the vices and sins. This is against Islam and its moral system and its monotheism. . Then they fought each other for the vanity of this life, and became different groups and collide cults and sects from that time until now. Moreover, the traditional meaning of Jihad in the Muslim mentality relates to this practical historic meaning of attacking other nations under the name of Islam to steel their wealth and enslaves their people as it happened during Muslim conquest and establishing their Empire in the Middle Ages. This is what Wahabi Sunni and Imami Shiites believe until now. That why they – in spite of their disputes and enmity- celebrate that Hadeeth attributed to the Prophet Mohammed Saying: “ I am commanded to fight all the people until they testify that there is no God but one God , and I am his messenger “.

Written by Yusuf Al Qaradawi
Although the student chose this book and praised it, he should first know who are Yusuf Al Qaradawi and other famous scholars in the Muslim Arab world. It is imperative to know the background of any writer to understand his book and to analyze his opinion and to examine his mentality and the development or the key stone of his writing across the time, and the stance and the rank and the situation of this writer among others in his time and in the same field.

In his words al Rumi said” the Prophet [Mohammed] said that women …dominate men of intellectual .but bad men dominate women.” Actually, this was said by Mo’aweya Ibn Abi Sofian, the head of the Omawy dynasty, two centuries before Al Rumi.
Al Rumi also said “Woman is the radiance of God. She is not your beloved. She is the Creator- you could say…”Here, this Sufi poet expressed his Sufi faith which contradicts the Islamic faith.
Ibn Araby in his book: “Fosoos Al Hekam”,or seeds of wisdom, explained - in his talking about Adam- this Sufi doctrine about the man and woman saying that they are together Divine parts from God Himself, but the woman has greatest divine part from God than the man, and while the sexual intercourse, the two of mail and female are uniting in the Divine God.

The Wahabi doctrine did not provide a new understanding of Islam. As a Muslim Scholar, I say it tarnishes the Islamic values of peace, tolerance, total freedom of speech and belief, justice and democracy. It is against Islam, but it represents some minute Muslim Sunni cult. Muslims are now three big categories: Sunni, Shiites and Sufi. The Sunni are the most fanatic cult, while the Sufi is more peaceful than Shiites. The fanatic Sunni cult has four schools; Hanabela is more fanatic than the other Sunni schools such as Ahnaf, Malekia, and Shafeiah.
Inside the radical
Inside the teachings of Ibn Taymeia, Ibn Abdel Wahab is the most fanatic dogmas; not only in the Middle aged culture but the Wahabi cult introduced it to our time as the real Islam.
He said:” It is not that any section of Islam claims not to be a Mowaria. The Europeans interfered to protect them in the time of the great movements of the Western colonist in the Muslim and Arab World. The Ottoman Emperor Abdel Hameed the second tried to face the European influence inside his helpless empire by calling to the Islamic unity all over the Muslim World led by the
He said: “The Wahabi doctrine prompted some…new reform which might solve the problems of the Muslim World, and a new understanding of religion.”
It is wrong. The Wahabi movement was and stills the biggest problem of Islam until now. The Wahabi doctrine did not provide a new understanding of the religion of Islam.
As a problem, the Wahabi movement has brought to the Muslims in the modern time the Middle aged fanatic dogmas and the religious bloody war under the name of Jihad. The Wahabi movement is the mother of all the terrorist Muslim movements in the entire Muslim World. Because of the Wahabi dogma and its hijacking the name of Islam, the Egyptian secular reform in the 19 and 20hhid (i.e., believer in the Unity/ Oneness of God), but merely that the Wahabis have appropriated to themselves this title.”
It is right to say Islamic faith is the Oneness of God, and there is no creature that has any divine character of the only one God, even the angles and the prophets.
However, this is the real Islam, or what should be, but the different sects of Muslims are something else. The Sufi Muslims believe in the pantheism, or the unity of God and the entire universe, or the universe is a part of God. The Shiites believe in the divinity of their Imams, while the Sunni people believe in the prophet Mohammed as the one who is alive in his tomb, who knows the unseen, and will control the Day of Judgment by his intercession before God. They are making him god beside the Almighty God. This is the actual religious life of Muslims regardless of any motto they claim.
Actually the Wahabi has less numbers of gods and sacred saints than the Shiites and the Sufi. That is why they claim the title of Mowahid to themselves. However, they are not the only cult who appropriates to themselves this monotheism. Al Mo’tazelah named themselves [Ahl Al adl WA al tawheed] (i.e., the people of justice and monotheism), besides [Al Mowahedeen.] dynasty who ruled
&nb centuries was terminated and the democratic waves have not reach the Arab Muslim World yet.
The Wahabi doctrine did not provide a new understanding of Islam. As a Muslim Scholar, I say it tarnishes the Islamic values of peace, tolerance, total freedom of speech and belief, justice and democracy. It is against Islam, but it represents some minute Muslim Sunni cult. Muslims are now three big categories: Sunni, Shiites and Sufi. The Sunni are the most fanatic cult, while the Sufi is more peaceful than Shiites.

It is right to say Islamic faith is the Oneness of God, and there is no creature that has any divine character of the only one sp;

However, this is the real Islam, or what should be, but the different sects of Muslims are something else. The Sufi Muslims believe in the pantheism, or the unity of God and the entire universe, or the universe is a part of God. The Shiites believe in the divinity of their Imams, while the Sunni people believe in the prophet Mohammed as the one who is alive in his tomb, who knows the unseen, and will control the Day of Judgment by his intercession before God. They are making him god beside the Almighty God. This is the actual religious life of Muslims regardless of any motto they claim.
Actually the Wahabi has less numbers of gods and sacred saints than the Shiites and the Sufi. That is why they claim the title of Mowahid to themselves. However, they are not the only cult who appropriates to themselves this monotheism. Al Mo’tazelah named themselves [Ahl Al adl WA al tawheed] (i.e., the people of justice and monotheism), besides [Al Mowahedeen.] dynasty who ruled

It means there is one religion of Islam, but there are many different kinds of Muslims.

Abdel Aziz saw this and made a strategic decision to distance himself from the Ikhwan, thereby keeping his kingdom secure by avoiding conflict with the British.
This was the first time the Saudi political authority and its religious authority were at odds. Al Ikhwan, who believed in a continuous Jihad, condemned Abdel Aziz. They accused him of being an accomplice of idolaters [the Egyptians] and the infidels [the British]. Abdel Aziz tried to eliminate this dissension but the Ikhwan used their Wahabi teachings to bolster their condemnation of Abdel Aziz, calling on statements made by Wahabism’s founder and the oldest imams, Ibn Taymeya and Ibn Hanbal.
Abdel Aziz was unable to reform the Wahabi dogma after the fanatic Wahabis revolted against him [1928-1929]

According to the Quran, all the universe was created by the Almighty God just to test the man in this life, so after the end of this test of this life, God will destroy all the earth and the heavens and create the eternal world for the Day of Judgment and the eternal Paradise for the winners and eternal torture for the losers.

According to the Quran it has its own Tafseer or interpretation inside it [25; 33]. It means you can understand the Quran by the Quran itself. Imam Ibn Katheer in the introduction of his Tafseer said: The best way is to interpret the Quran by the Quran. The Quran is [Mathani] as it is mentioned in the Quran itself: [15: 87] [39: 23] it means every Quranic meaning has been repeated twice and more inside the Quran. It is easy to follow all the verses in the same subject in the whole Quran and to read and understand the Quranic words according to the Quranic codes, idioms and terminology, not by the Muslim traditions codes. This way is the Islamic duty in dealing with the Quran. It is called [tadabbor] Read about this Quranic terminology in these verses: [4: 82] [47:24] [23:68] [38: 29].
If any one searches in the Quran in that way he will find the Quranic truth as long as he is looking for the Quranic truth faithfully without any previous traditional concepts.

Muslim scholars in the Middle ages used their Tafseer to distort the Quranic meanings according to their egos.
Ibn Katheer himself in his Tafseer or interpretation did not apply this way in spite of recommending it in the introduction of his Tafseer. It is easy to understand the reason. Muslims have already established their different religious life for many centuries on these bases of Tafseer and Hadeeth or the sayings attributed to the prophet Mohammed some centuries after his death. The Quranic way of understanding the Quran or [Tadabbor] will clear the absent Quranic values and the Islamic faith and endanger the situations of different Muslim sects and authorities.
However, Al Tafseer and Al Hadeeth are the clear evidences of the contradiction between Muslims and Islam; they also reflect their mentality and culture.
Finally, the researcher Said “God said: ‘Let there be’ and it was. And creation is not an act that happened once, but a continuous process.” If he claims this to be a Quranic verse, he will be wrong. There is no Quranic verse said so literally. May be he is confused by the meanings of these Quranic verses:[6 :73][16: 40][19: 35][36: 82] and these other Quranic verses:[16: 8 17 20][5 17][24 45][28 86][30 45][39 4 6][42 49][43 16].

The student mentions this Hadeeth, or the saying attributed to the prophet Mohammed some centuries after his death. It says: “Who has come to know himself, he has already come to know God”. This is a fabricated Hadeeth, said by the some Muslim philosophies, and was denied by many conservative Middle aged scholars. However, it expresses the insights of some Muslims, but it is a disputable opinion. According to the Quran, [51:21] man is ordered to discover the marvelous creation inside himself; his body, his mind and his abilities to recognize the unlimited power of the Almighty God inside our selves, not to say that we can know God Himself, because God is beyond our limited reach and comprehension.

between it and the Sufi love, or their [fanaa] which means to unite themselves in the Almighty God. It is a far difference between the two kinds of love, as it also contradicts the original Islamic faith: There is no god but One God.

If this super identity chooses the good way and the guih blames the human being if he does something wrong or does not do the good thing he should do. This super identity always forbids the self from following its ego in order to purify it and to be winner in the Day of Judgment.
If this super identity chooses the bad way, it becomes [Ammarah] means advocate the bad and the wrong, following its ego and desire.
According to this choice man will be in the paradise or in the hell. [79:37 -41].
The bad self always tries to satisfy all the body needs and desires ignoring the high values which are the core of the real religion of God, like: chastity, decency, peace, Justice, total freedom of belief and speech and tolerance.
This man who is a victim of his own ego and his own lusts and vises is called in the Quran [Al Insan]. This is a unique Quranic terminology and code which is different from the common concept of Al Insan in the Arabic and Muslim culture, and even the international culture if we translate this Quranic idiom of Insan as a [Human].

It include [Al Nas] or people, [Bany Adam] means the children of Adam.[Bashar] means mankind, [Ins] means the human being in the relationship with the Jinn, and finally[ Al Insan] which has a body and self and inclined to be misled by his ego and his body.
When we follow all the Quranic verses that include the word [Al Insan] we find all the bad aspects of the human being. If he did not reform himself, or if the super identity inside him failed to reform his [Ammarah] self, he will die and come in dance, the self becomes [Lawwamah] means the good conscience which blames the human being if he does something wrong or does not do the good thing he should do.

It is right to say: “The more they have, the deeper their feeling of lack of freedom.” This explain –exactly- the human being –or [Al Insan] in the Quranic terminology- when he is enslaved by his lusts and desires. The real freedom in Islam is to be enslaved by God alone by your own choice. Because there is only one God, you will be really free man. As you obey only one God, you should uphold [Al Taqwa], means to fear and worship and adore God alone. It means also to subjugate your body to your God’s orders and teachings. All the Islamic duties have one object: [Al Taqwa] or to make the human able to control his body, his lusts and desires according to the God’s commandments.

It is also right to say:” Our life is not our own property.” because we are owned by our Almighty God. As a test, we are given this mortal body and the ability to control this universe and the total freedom to obey God or to disobey him. On the Judgment Day, the winners will be only those who obeyed God and applied His commandments in dealing with God, and in dealing with their bodies, with their societies and their environments.
So, it is true to say that man is the master of his own destiny- if we talk about the destiny of the Last Day or Judgment Day. Man has the total freedom of choice to believe or to disbelieve, to obey or to disobey. If he decides to be the winner in the Day of Judgment, he will be so as long he chooses to obey His Only Lord. God will not disappoint him because it is His promise, and God never breaks His promises. [3: 9- 194][
However, this life has not a real destiny as it is short period of life and will be terminated by the inevitable death.

According to the Quran; God has predestinated only four things for every human being in this world: his birth, his death, the crises and the sustenance. All these dimensions of every human being are belonging to The One God alone, and to His knowledge and His measure which are unknown to us. If we control those four dimensions, every one of us will have all what he needs; the longest happiest, richest healthiest life, and may be without death. Simply, every one wants to be millionaire, but every one is not a millionaire, even the millionaire of today he does not guarantee to be a millionaire for the next year or the next month. You may plan to go here and there, or to do some perfect thing, but you do not be sure of the result, because you are not alone in this world, and you do not control every thing in it. Your interest is interfering or contradicting with the others, who are different from you in their abilities, and attitudes. Finally, all the unexpected events are controlled by God, including the events that happen by us to us, or to inflict us. No one can avoid or change those four inevitable things of birth, death, crises, and sustenance.
God is the only One who shapeable death. But talking to those who are concentrating on this life alone, they will be disappointed to know- according to the Quran- that the human being has nothing to do with the four basic issues of his life: His birth, his death, his wealth or poverty; or in the Quranic term [Al Rizq], and the crises he has to face and suffer during his life time.
According to the Quran; God has predestinated only four things for every human being in this world: his birth, his death, the crises and the sustenance. All these dimensions of every human being are belonging to The One God alone, and to His knowledge and His measure which are unknown to us. If we control those four dimensions, every one of us will have all what he needs; the longest happiest, richest healthiest life, and may be without death. Simply, every one wants to be millionaire, but every one is not a millionaire, even the millionaire of today he does not guarantee to be a millionaire for the next year or the next month. You may plan to go here and there, or to do some perfect thing, but you do not be sure of the result, because you are not alone in this world, and you do not control every thing in it. Your interest is interfering or contradicting with the others, who are different from you in their abilities, and attitudes. Finally, all the unexpected events are controlled by God, including the events that happen by us to us, or to inflict us. No one can avoid or change those four inevitable things of birth, death, crises, and sustenance.
During this life, the sustenance for every alive being is prepared and guaranteed by God. Through different means, the alive beings are themselves included in these means.
This sustenance means the food and other things that keep the life inside the alive being until his death. It includes those means of living and their changes, and the changes that happen to the creature during his life, all of them are written in God’s eternal Book before this world.[11: 6][6: 151][17:31][29 :60]
Every misfortune, sickness illness, infectious disease, accident, calamity, and disaster is predestined by God before this world, so no one can harm or benefit you unless according to what was written before our lives.[9: 51][57: 22-23][64 :11]
The fatalism in Islam is limited in the realm of these four dimensions only; but this is not the only difference between the predestination of the Quran and the fatalism of the Sunni Muslim. In the Quran, no one knows the unseen, or what will happen in the future,[10:20][27:65]7:187-188][6:50][46:9] and every one has the total freedom to do what he10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
God is the only One who shapes our features, defines our parents, and the date and the place of our birth. He is the only One who knows the time and the place of our death or killing, and our age in this life.[7 :11][3: 6][35 :11][41:47][13 :8][3 :154-158][4:78][62: 8][31: 34].

The fatalism in Islam is limited in the realm of these four dimensions only; but this is not the only difference between the predestination of the Quran and the fatalism of the wants to do, to think and believe what he wants to believe. Therefore, many people choose to disbelieve in The One God, while many other people add to the one God some gods according to their belief. What is usually happening in the realm of religions is the strongest prove that the human being has the total freedom of choice, not only in his secular life, but also in his religious life, even it’s against the will of God Himself. God Said in the Quran:”If you disbelieve, God is in no need of you, and He dislike for His servants disbelief. But if you are appreciative, then He is pleased for you. No one is responsible for anyone else’s sins. To your Lord is your final return; then He will inform you of every thing you did? He is fully aware of the innermost intentions.”[39:7].This is the total freedom of choice. In the same time, this human being does not know the unseen and what will happen in the future, therefore he decides and acts freely in his usual life, and faces these predestinations knowingly or unknowingly.
According to the Quran, any one is not responsible before God about these four predestinations, but every one is responsible before God about all his deeds beyond this limit, where he has the total freedom to obey or not, to believe or not, to do good deeds or bad deeds. As a believer one, he recognizes his freedom of choice, and in the same time he believes that God does not break His promises.
This is a Quranic fact, repeated in the Quran. [2:80] [3:9] [

The believer should recognizes these facts, and acts accordingly. He should have all the courage, act bravely, obeying God, putting his trust in Him, because no one can harm him or benefit him unless according to what God has predestined to him before this life, and no one can kill him before or after the specific time and the condition of death predestined by God.
It is wrong – according to the Quran- to believe in the Divine part inside us coming from God, or the soul of man are candles of the Lord, or to say that man is partner of God, or God needs man. All of these are against the Islamic faith of monotheism.
However, many Muslims believe in these aspects, and Muslim tradition has reflected them in many sayings attributed to the prophet Mohammed some centuries after his death.
The student himself brings one of these saying: “I was a hidden treasure and I wish to be known, and therefore I created man.”
The student denies that man is a partner of God, but he- the student says: God is always at our disposal. This sentence could be said about your human partner, not about your Almighty Lord; the only God.

The Aspects of Actual Life in Arab Muslim World.
A. Dictatorship
The actual political and social life is terrible. Inside the regimes, dictatorships control all the aspects of life, terrorizing the people under the name of hegemony and awe of the state. The troops of army and security are used to ensure the security of the dictator and his elders along with the legislation, judicial system, media, education, economics, and the official religious and cultural aes that man is a partner of God, but he- the student says: God is always at our disposal.

The actual political and social life is terrible. Inside the regimes, dictatorships control all the aspects of life, terrorizing the people under the name of hegeuthorities.
B. The fanatic trend
Those dictatorships need the religious terrorist opposition in some degree to use it politically to scare the people, to prolong martial law, and to make their potential substitute worse than them. Their rationale is “Ok. We are bad, but they are the worst, so who is better?”
Actually, the religious fanatic opposition is the worst. The current dictatorships may kill or imprison the active oppositions for political reasons, but the religious dictatorship kills, stones, and amputates all its enemies and dooms them to be the enemies of God who should be sent to hell.
The dangerousness of this trend is not only in its secret or public organizations, but in its religious culture which claims the name of Islam. This culture is sponsored by the regimes and their official religious leaders and foundations.
Between the dictatorships and their religious opposition, there is a weak, vulnerable secular opposition, adopting the western discourse which alienates this trend more beside the continuous disputes among them, even inside every party or center. Outside these dictatorships there is the international community represented mainly by the

[4] Spiritual Significance of Hajj

Al Hajj is religious duty on every human being, not only Muslims.
Al Hajj is religious duty should be done by any peaceful human being who is able to do it. It is not for Muslims only but for all the peaceful human beings, especially the people of the scripture; the Jews and the Christians. Al Hajj is the most famous aspect of Abraham religion or according to the Quranic terminology [Millat Ebraheem] for all the man kind, and the Jews and the Christians in particular. This is very obvious when we read these Quranic verses: [2: 125] [3: 93 to 97] [
However, the mighty tribe of Quraysh used to use Al Hajj according to its policy and interest. They prevented Muslims and the prophet Mohammed from Al Hajj, [5: 2] [48:25] [

It is reasonable to say that they should perform Al Hajj in any time during months in which every one can go and make Al Hajj in one week and return home to avoid this chaos and trouble25]. After the prophet Mohammed, the same tribe used the name of Islam to establish the great Arab Muslim Empire. In this Empire, the religious rules were decreed to prevent the non Muslims from Al Hajj, ignoring that Muslim in the Quranic terminology- in dealing with people- means any peaceful one regardless of his faith or affinity, and [Al Moshrik] or the idol worshipper- in dealing with people- is the one who transgresses the limit and attacks the peaceful people wrongly and unjustly. Please read this meaning in these Quranic verses [9: 1 to 14-28]

As a Quranic fact: Islamic laws aims to lighten the hardships and to ease the difficulties: [
It is not only reasonable, but it is the real Quranic rules that confirm theses verses. According to the Quran, the time designed for al Hajj is four months in which you can make Al Hajj any time during them. God says in the Quran: “Al Hajj is the well known months [Al Hajjo Ashorn Ma’lomat]. So, whosoever intends to perform Al Hajj therein, he should not have sexual relations, nor commit sin, nor dispute during Al Hajj.”[2: 197].
These are the four Arabic lunar months which are the sacred months in Islam named [Al Ashhor Al horom]. In these four months, it is prohibited to wage war or to fight, or to commit any wrong. Arabs before Islam used to recognize these sacred months as an important aspect of the religion of Abraham, so God described these months as [Ashhorn Ma’lomat] means well known months by Arabs. But they used to violate them also by changing them according to their ego and continuous fights. So, God blamed them in the Quran. [

To make it easier for pilgrimages who come from far places [22: 27] God gives them two days exception before the opening, means the last two days of the Arabic month of [Zol K’edah]. Also God gives them another two days exception after the end of the sacred months, means after the fourth month of [Rabe’e Al Awwal] or Rabe’e the first, so they can make Al Hajj after its time during the fifth Arabic month, or the next month after the fourth sacred month which name is [Rabe’e Al Awwal]. So the fifth month has the same name of Rabe’e’ but with an addition [Rabe’e Al Thany] means the fourth the second. Any one who comes early, he can make Al Hajj two days before the beginning of its regular time on the beginning of the four sacred months. Any one who comes lately , he can performs Al Hajj two day after the last fourth sacred month, but on one condition: to maintain [Al Taqwa] or to be righteous.[2: 203]
Finally, the Quranic terminology [Al Hajj al Akbar] or the greatest Hajj means only the opening of Al Hajj, but you can make Al Hajj during all the four sacred months and also two days before them and two days after them.
Al Hajj Al Akbar was the real opening of the Arabic lunar calendar which used to be the month of “Zo Al hijjah”, means the month of the opening of Al Hajj. It used to be the first month of the Muslim Arabic calendar, then the other three sacred months follow it.[ They are Moharram, Safar, Rabee’e Awwal].You can understand this if you&nbalso by changing them according to their ego and continuous fights. So, God blamed them in the Quran. [

Finally, the Quranic terminology [Al Hajj al Akbar] or the greatest Hajj means only the opening of Al Hajj, but you can make Al Hajj during all the four sacred months and also two dayssp; read carefully these verses:[9: 1-2-3-5].
Muslims have ignored the sacred months and changed them
In their history after the prophet Mohammed, Arab Muslims have ignored the sacred months and used to fight each other and the other nations during the sacred months. Only during the civil war between Ali; the fourth ruler after the prophet Mohammed, and Mo’aweyah, there was cease fire to respect the sacred months, but after that, the Omawy dynasty used to fight its Muslim oppositions and invade other countries in the name of Islam, during the sacred months and other months too. Even the Sacred mosque in
All of these violations happened just five decades after the death of the prophet Mohammed, and committed by people most of them were [Sahabat Al Nabi] or the companions of the prophet Mohammed. It has become easier for the coming Muslim generations to follow them because the civil wars and the military insurrections have continued until now inside the Muslim World and between Muslims and other nations and countries. In this continuous wars Muslims forget every thing about the sacred months, even they forget their real names and changed the Arabic lunar calendar to begin with Moharram, not Zol Hijja, and make the four sacred months the following months : Ragab, Zol Hijja Moharram and Safar instead of: Zol Hijja, Moharram, Safar and Rabe’e Al Awwal.
Al Hajj Al Akbar was the real opening of the Arabic lunar calendar which used to be the month of “Zo Al hijjah”, means the month of the opening of Al Hajj. It used to be the first month of the Muslim Arabic calendar, then the other three sacred months follow it.[ They are Moharram, Safar, Rabee’e Awwal].You can understand this if you read carefully these verses:[9: 1-2-3-5].
Muslims have ignored the sacred months and changed them
In their history after the prophet Mohammed, Arab Muslims have ignored the sacred months and used to fight each other and the other nations during the sacred months. Only during the civil war between Ali; the fourth ruler after the prophet Mohammed, and Mo’aweyah, there was cease fire to respect the sacred months, but after that, the Omawy dynasty used to fight its Muslim oppositions and invade other countries in the name of Islam, during the sacred months and other months too. Even the Sacred mosque in
All of these violations happened just five decades after the death of the prophet Mohammed, and committed by people most of them were [Sahabat Al Nabi] or the companions of the prophet Mohammed.

The real meaning of Al Hajj
God has appointed his only one sacred place exactly in the mid point of this earth, or the very center of the earth. In this place, the first religious house for mankind to worship the One God was built to be the first one on this earth, [3: 96]. It is “Al Bayt Al Ateeq.” means the oldest and the most ancient house of worship on the earth. [22: 29-33].
After the prophet Noah and many other prophets and generations God ordered Abraham-who lived in Iraq- to go to the place of the sacred mosque in the desert - known after that as the Arabic desert- and appointed it to him, and ordered him to rebuilt it and purify it to the worshippers and to call the people to make Al Hajj. [2: 125 to 130][22: 26 to 29]
On the center of this place “Al K’abah” shrine or the four walls were built to appoint the center of this earth. Around this squared small building, there was a large place for worshipping the only one God in His House.

From this center of the earth the final prophet was born and the final Divine message; the holy Quran was revealed for all the mankind from this time to the end of this world. [25: 1][21:107] [42: 7] [28:59] [6: 92]. To this point all Muslims should turn their faces in their five daily prayers, [2:144-149-150] and to it they come from all over the world to perform Al Hajj. This is the only holy place of God in this earth, while the Holy time of God is the Sacred four months, in which people should live peacefully without war or unjust and perform Al Hajj. is called in the Quran [Omm Al Kora]. [Omm] means mother [Al Kora] in the Arabic language means villages, but in the Quranic terminology means the main city of any human community, so From this center of the earth the final prophet was born and the final Divine message; the holy Quran was revealed for all the mankind from this time to the end of this world.

Inside the Human being, there is the high identity which chooses the good or the bad deed, the right or the wrong. The good believer is the one who chooses to sanctify, adore, glorify and venerate the holy place of the One God and also His four sacred months. For this good believer, Al Hajj is the chance in which he can worship God in His sacred mosque, during His four sacred months. In this case his pure, chaste and righteous heart is in harmony with the holy place and the holy time. So, the believer in Al Hajj must abandon the permissible sexual relationship with his wife, the permissible dispute and argument with other people, any kind of sin, and to fear God who knows every thing, and maintain righteousness for the Day of Judgment. [2: 197]. God also said about the sacred mosque:” Which we have appointed to all people as equally; the dweller in it and the visitor, and whoever intend to do evil action and unjust, we shall cause him to taste from painful torment.” [ In the sacred mosque of God, all the creatures of God should enjoy peace, the pilgrim is prevented from killing any alive creature, even the ant in his hair, so, the pilgrim usually shave or cut short his hair before Al Ihram, or performing Al Hajj ritual. If he intentionally kills a game during Al Hajj, the penalty is an offering; brought to the sacred mosque of an eatable animal equivalent to the game he killed [5: 95].

It is up to him to decide to pay or not because it is he who knows if he was intentionally does it or no. It is a test to teach Muslim during Al Hajj how to purify his heart. God Says in this regard:”O you who believe! God will make a trial of you with something in the game that is within the reach of your hands and your lances, that God may test him who fears Him unseen. Then whoever transgresses thereafter, for him there is a painful torment.”[5 94] It confirms here that the human heart must be pure to be in harmony with the sacred place and the sacred time. This is the meaning of “Al Ihram”, or the period in which the pilgrim is performing the ritual of Al Hajj. Submission, the key word. In this harmony that gathers the place, the time and the human heart or soul, the believer chooses willingly to submit his heart, his body his feeling to his only One God. God said:” To Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and in the earth, willingly and unwillingly.”[3: 83].

As it is very difficult to maintain this submission all the days and years, the Islamic rituals are reminders. The five prayers remind us every day five times. Fasting Ramadan reminds us one month every year, the four sacred months remind us for four months every year, and then Al Hajj reminds us one time-or more during our life time. All these rituals have only one aim; is to enable the believer to be righteous and to enable him to maintain the most difficult thing in his life; the total submission to the only One God. The human being is the only creature in this physical universe that has the freedom of choice, while the entire universe and the other creatures are controlled directly by God, or totally submitted to God by its nature, without any choice. The human physical body is controlled by God, not by the human being who occupies it. You could not control your liver, kidney and lungs while you can-according to your freedom of choice-obey or disobey God, submit yourself to Him or rebel against Him. Total submission of universe and the pilgrims Al Hajj gives the human being the chance to perform the same total submission to the One God. To know the total submission to the Almighty creator, think about the atom and inside it, and the sun and its planets, and the stars inside their galaxies. They have the same system in the total submission to the One God. The electrons circle around the nucleus inside the atom in a series of orbits at different distances from the nucleus.

In much the same way the planets orbit the sun, and the stars circle around the center of their galaxies. You can look the same way at Al Hajj, where the believers come from different places to the very center of the earth; the sacred mosque of the One Only God, to perform the rituals of Al Hajj, means Al Ihram, in the way that their heart must be pure and in a full submission to their only Lord, circling around the Al Ka’abah; the nucleus of the earth, as the electrons circle around the nucleus of the atom, and as the planets circle around the stars and as the stars circle around the center of the galaxies. If the electrons are neutral the pilgrims are also neutral, if the electrons have a negative charge, the pilgrims are forbidden from the permissible sexuality and the permissible argument; means have only negative charge. It is the same submission to the creator, but in one difference, the believer is doing this willingly according to his own freedom of choice. If you look at the picture of the pilgrims in their circles around Al Ka’aba where every one of them in the same color and the same special cloth of Al Ihram, so identical to one another that you cannot identify any one of them, you are really looking inside the atom where the electrons are circling around the nuck the same way at Al Hajj, where the believers come from different places to the very center of the earth; the sacred mosque of the One Only God, to perform the rituals of Al Hajj, means Al Ihram, in the way that their heart must be pure and in a full submission to their only Lord, circling around the Al Ka’abah; the nucleus of the earth, as the electrons circle around the nucleus of the atom, and as the planets circle around the stars and as the stars circle around the center of the galaxies.

This picture illustrates the meaning of the submission to the One God. Islam in the Arabic language and the Quranic terminology- in dealing with God- mean submission. This is also the meaning of Al Hajj in the religion of Islam. However, Muslims have distorted this meaning of Al Hajj as they also distorted the two meanings of Islam. Muslims distort the meaning of Al Hajj It is a long story, but it could be outlined in these topics: 1- Al Ka’abah is just a squared building, built and rebuilt many times by humans using the same stone of the same area, just to appoint the center of this planet; the earth. In circling around al Ka’aba it is forbidden to touch it to avoileus while they are identical to one another to the extent that scientists have been unable to distinguish one electron from another.

In circling around al Ka’aba it is forbidden to touch it to avoid any meaning of idolizing its building or its stones. Islam is very sensitive in this issue of monotheism. It is absolutely forbidden to idolize any human; any stone any tomb and any temple or statue. Al Ka’aba is called “Al Bayt al Haram” means literally: “the inviolable house”. This necessitates some specific rituals aim to teach the believer to maintain the high degree of monotheism in worshipping the only One God, not to worship the human made building of Al Ka’aba making it an idol of stone. In the same wrong way Muslims look at the black stone which identifies the beginning of the seven circles or circumambulations. 2-In Islam, there is the only One God, and the only One Sacred mosque of the Only One God, but Muslims have many sacred mosques, where they usually visit as a ritual pilgrimage. In every Muslim country, there are many of sacred tombs inside mosques, those tombs belong to famous Sufi or Shiites or Sunni saints and Imams and Sheikhs.

This distorts their Hajj and their Islamic faith as well. 3- They add a fabricated ritual; stoning the symbol of Satan inside the holy mosque. This ritual belongs to the ancient fabrication of “stoning Esaf and Na’elah”in Al Hajj before Islam and the holy Quran. Because of this {Ramy Al Jamarat} hundreds of Muslims usually get killed after finishing the real rituals of Al Hajj. This satanic ritual has been made to make Muslim remind Satan and celebrate his memory in the very sacred mosque of the One Almighty God. According to the Quran, there is only way to deal with the Satan; it is to seek refuge with the Almighty God from Satan by your heart and your tongue, not to appoint a place for Satan inside the sacred mosque of Allah. 4- The Muslim Imams and famous scholars had many wrong verdicts and laws concerning Al Hajj. For example, they said the woman in her period or menstruation is prohibited from circumambulation around Al Ka’abah. They also said it is permissible to any Muslim to hire any one to make Al Hajj instead of him, or to make Al Hajj for his parents or any one else. It is wrong because all the rituals in Islam aim to purify the individual, so it has to do it by himself to clean his heart by his own effort for his own future in the Day of Judgment.

This if the writer wants to give his own argument.

Our brain is designed to search only in this physical material of this world. This world has many dimensions which are beyond our reach and our comprehension. It is not only in the outer space of the universe, but also in the inner space inside us and inside the alive cell. We can use the fire, the electricity, the magnetic power, the gravitation of the earth and the planets because God has subjugated them to us. But in the same time we can not understand their identities and their secrets. If we are unable to search in some aspects of our world and even in our souls and the inner space inside us, can we search in the invisible world which is beyond our limit? Can we search the identity of the Almighty creator Himself? According to the Quran, it is a religious duty to search in the physical world which is subjugated to the humans to get the best benefit of it and to recognize the glorious creation of the Almighty God, the creator. This is the visible - witnessed world or [Aalam Al Shahadah]. The invisible world is called in the Quranic terminology [Aalam Al ghayb], or the unseen world. It is out of our reach and our comprehension and impossible for us to think about it or just imagine it by our brains which are influenced and limited by our visible world. When you talk about what you do not know or what you do not figure your talk will be just delusions and illusions. As it is impossible to prove it physically, the different opinions will still different in this realm of emptiness. As the science can not reach it or prove it, it belongs to the realm of believe or superstitions. You may believe in it or not. According to the Quran, the only one who can talk about this invisible world is the creator of the visible and invisible worlds; the Almighty God in His final preserved guarded Quran. Any human information about this invisible world is just superstitions and nonsense. It becomes more than that if we talk about the Almighty God from our own ego and limited mind. God says about Himself: “There is nothing like Him.”[42:11] .All the creations are things created by Him, nothing from all the creations looks like Him. All the characters and the descriptions of the things or the creatures are contradicting the identity of the Almighty God, Allah. God, Allah talks to us in His Quran in the human Arabic language about this unseen world in a way that makes us understand. Any human language is unable to imagine or to figure the unseen.

God, Allah talks to us in His Quran in the human Arabic language about this unseen world in a way that makes us understand. Any human language is unable to imagine or to figure the unseen. Any human vocabulary is unable to describe what is beyond its reach and imagination. So, the Quran has its unique way in explaining this contradiction between the Almighty creator and His creations by using the same human Arabic language. For example: we have a life and we are alive, so is the God. But to confirm the contradiction between our temporary short life and the eternal unknown life of the Almighty God, the Quran said; “And put your trust in the Ever Living One who dies not.”[25: 58]. “Allah- God-, there is no god but Him, The Ever Living, the Ever providence. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.”[2: 255] When the Quran talks about the lives of the creatures it gives another description: “He-God- brings the alive from the dead and brings out the dead from the living, and He revives the earth after its death.”[30:19]. the human description of life is used to describe the One God and also the creatures but with other descriptions to point out the contradiction here and there. Sometimes the Quran uses the same Arabic word to give the contrary meanings here and there. The famous short Quranic Sura or chapter which and imagination.

Sometimes the Quran uses the same Arabic word to give the contrary meanings here and there. The famous short Quranic Sura or chapter which confirms the monotheism says: “Say: He is Allah, One. Allah is the [only] Lord. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is no one equal to Him.” Here the Arabic word: One {Ahad} is used twice to confirm that Allah is one and to confirm that no one looks like Him. It is the same Arabic word [Ahad] but in contrary meanings. [He] is the absent pronoun in the Arabic language for the masculine. It is used when we talk about some one who is not here. The Quran uses [He] in talking about Allah-God in the contrary way; to confirm that He is not absent but is with us wherever we are. For example: “He is with you wheresoever you may be. And Allah is all seer of what you do.”[57: 4]Read also: [58: 7]. To know something about the Almighty God; Allah , you have to read the Quran according to it terminology, believing that Allah, the Almighty God is beyond your mind and your comprehension, but in the same time He is so near from you if you worship Him and devote your life to Him alone.[2 :186]. Muslims in their long history have wasted their time and energy in searching in the prohibited era, ignoring the Quranic teachings in this regards. More over, some of them attributed his ideas to the prophet Mohammed to make them sacred facts. So you may find different and contradicted sayings of the prophet Mohammed in the same subject. As it is an empty way, the result is just a big zero. Therefore after many centuries you find Muslim are still disputing in the same issues while the modern world is searching in the inner space of atom and cell, and the outer space of the stars and galaxies. Some Muslim intellectuals feel rejoiced when some new scientific facts discovered by the West and find some indication to them mentioned in the Quran. Some Muslim scientists devote their lives in this career proving how the Quran mentioned or indicated some important scientific facts 14 centuries before the current modern western civilization. They usually ignore this very question: Why the Muslim scholars in the Middle Ages ignored these Quranic scientific facts during all these centuries? However, they can not answer this question. < confirms the monotheism says: “Say: He is Allah, One. Allah is the [only] Lord. He begets not, nor was He begotten.

Muslims in their long history have wasted their time and energy in searching in the prohibited era, ignoring the Quranic teachings in this regards. More over, some of them attributed his ideas to the prophet Mohammed to make them sacred facts. So you may find different and contradicted sayings of the prophet Mohammed in the same subject. As it is an empty way, the result is just a big zero. Therefore after many centuries you find Muslim are still disputing in the same issues while the modern world is searching in the inner space of atom and cell, and the outer space of the stars and galaxies.

(6) Forgotten aspects of Islamic doctrine This subject talks about the intercession of the prophet Mohammed and other saints in the Day of Judgment claiming it as a forgotten aspect of Islamic doctrine. It is absolutely wrong to say this title about the myth of intercession. The myth of intercession is an alive faith inside most of Muslims, so it is wrong to say it is forgotten aspect in Muslim religious life. Also, it is wrong to say it is an Islamic doctrine. Islam is against this faith of intercession. There are more than 200 Quranic verses confirm that no human being will intercede before God for another one, but Muslim scholars twisted some Quranic verses and ignored most of them to establish this falsehood of the human intercession in the Day after. They also attributed sayings to the prophet Mohammed claiming that he will intercede before God in the Day of Judgment, ignoring the Quranic fact that the prophet Mohammed did not know the future and was not allowed to talk about the unseen which he did not know.[6:50] [7 :187- 188][46: 9]. God is the only one who owns the Day of Judgment. Muslims usually say this [ Malik Yawm Al Deen] seventeen times in their daily prayers, but they do not believe in it, because they believe that Mohammed- not God; Allah- is the master of the Day of Judgment, and accordingly if God put some one in the hell, and Mohammed intercede for this one, God will change his mind and release this one from fire. This is not the real Day of Judgment mentioned in the Quran. According to the Quran in that day, it will be the pure, complete, absolute and the final justice.
