World Blog by humble servant.THOUGHTS ON SUBMISSION TO GOD What does it really mean?
In the English dictionary we see that .Submission is defined as “to yield to
the power or authority of another for
example to submit to a conqueror”.
In the Case of the religion of Islam
(Submission) it is yielding to the authority of God, the one and only creator.
People from all religions unequivocally claim that they have yielded to
the authority of God, so does this
mean people from all religions are
submitters (Muslims)?
The important aspect of submission
is to yield exclusively to the authority of God alone without associating
others with Him in the strictest form
of monotheism as taught by God
Himself in His scriptures. Without
doing so we have not submitted.
Thus the religion of Submission is
also the religion of absolute and
strict monotheism (the worship of the
One and Only God without the association of others).
[2:131] When his Lord said to him,
“Submit,” he said, “I submit to the
Lord of the universe.”
[30:30] Therefore, you shall devote
yourself to the religion of strict monotheism. Such is the natural instinct
placed into the people by GOD. Such
creation of GOD will never change.
This is the perfect religion, but most
people do not know.
[10:105] I was commanded: “Keep
yourself devoted to the religion of monotheism; you shall not practice idol
worship.
[30:27] And He is the One who initiates the creation, then repeats it; this is
even easier for Him. To Him belongs
the most sublime similitude, in the
heavens and the earth, and He is the
Almighty, Most Wise.
[13:16] Say, “Who is the Lord of the
heavens and the earth?” Say, “GOD.”
Say, “Why then do you set up besides
Him masters who do not possess any
power to benefit or harm even themselves?” Say, “Is the blind the same as
the seer? Is darkness the same as the
light?” Have they found idols besides
GOD who created creations similar to
His creations, to the point of not distinguishing the two creations? Say,
“GOD is the Creator of all things, and
He is the One, the Supreme.”
[55:3] Creator of the human beings.
[112:4] “None equals Him.
[2:112] Indeed, those who submit
themselves absolutely to GOD alone,
while leading a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their
Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor
will they grieve.
[3:19] The only religion approved by
GOD is “Submission.” Ironically,
those who have received the scripture
are the ones who dispute this fact, despite the knowledge they have received,
due to jealousy. For such rejectors of
GOD’s revelations, GOD is most strict
in reckoning.
It has been the religion of all creation
for all the time. It is the only acceptable religion in the sight of God. God
has rejected and has never authorized
the worship of others alongside Himself.
[3:85] Anyone who accepts other than
Submission as his religion, it will not
be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter, he will be with the losers.
[16:51] GOD has proclaimed: “Do
not worship two gods; there is only
one god. You shall reverence Me
alone.”
[17:42] Say, “If there were any other
gods beside Him, as they claim, they
would have tried to overthrow the
Possessor of the throne.”
Furthermore, it is not a religion in the
traditional sense of the word. The traditional definition of religion is that: it
is the practice of religious beliefs;
ritual observance of faith. For example Christians attending mass on Sunday while generally remaining heedless about God the rest of the week.
Submission is a much deeper and active concept than what we traditionally understand to be religion.
We are spiritual beings in bodily garments, thus our submission to God is
the absolute devotion of our souls
(ourselves) and bodies (garments)
every moment of our lives on this
earth and even beyond our earth existence, willingly submitting, without
ever tiring, without least arrogance,
without the least disobedience, without the least hesitation just like every
other creature in the universe.
[16:48] Have they not seen all the
things created by GOD? Their shadows surround them right and left, in
total submission to GOD, and willingly
[16:49] To GOD prostrates everything in the heavens and everything
on earth ― every creature―and so
do the angels; without the least arrogance.
[13:15] To GOD prostrates everyone
in the heavens and the earth, willingly
or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.
[22:18] 2xDo you not realize that to
GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and
the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals,
and many people? Many others among
the people are committed to doom.
Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance
with GOD’s will.
[3:102] O you who believe, you shall
observe GOD as He should be observed, and do not die except as Submitters.
[2:131] When his Lord said to him,
“Submit,” he said, “I submit to the Lord
of the universe.”
[2:132] Moreover, Abraham exhorted
his children to do the same, and so did
Jacob: “O my children, GOD has pointed out the religion for you; do not die
except as submitters.”
[66:6] O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from the Hellfire whose fuel is people and rocks.
Guarding it are stern and powerful angels who never disobey GOD; they do
whatever they are commanded to do.
[41:38] If they are too arrogant to do
this, then those at your Lord glorify Him
night and day, without ever tiring.
[91:7-8] The soul and Him who created
it. Then showed it what is evil and what
is good.
[6:125] Whomever GOD wills to guide,
He renders his chest wide open to Submission. And whomever He wills to send
astray, He renders his chest intolerant
and straitened, like one who climbs towards the sky. GOD thus places a curse
upon those who refuse to believe.
[6:162] Say, “My Contact Prayers
(Salat), my worship practices, my life
and my death, are all devoted absolutely to GOD alone, the Lord of the universe.
[2:208] O you who believe, you shall
embrace total submission; do not follow
the steps of Satan, for he is your most
ardent enemy Psalms 62
1 My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of
you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering
fence?
4 They have counseled only to thrust
him down from his high position;
They delight in falsehood;
They bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.
5 My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God my salvation and my glory
rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge
is in God.
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Men of low degree are only vanity
and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than
breath.
10 Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your
heart upon them.
11 Once God has spoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;
12 And loving kindness is Yours, O
Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.
[3:184] If they reject you, messengers
before you have been rejected, even
though they brought proofs, the
PSALMS, and the enlightening scripture.
[4:163] We have inspired you, as we
inspired Noah and the prophets after
him. And we inspired Abraham, Ismail,
Isaac, Jacob, the Patriarchs, Jesus, Job,
Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And we
gave David the PSALMS.
