THE QURAN IS NOT A “MUSLIM BOOK”

By The Humble Servant, September 22, 2023

Who is the Quran for? Many label it a “Muslim Book,” assuming it’s exclusively for Muslims. This stems from how scriptures are tied to groups—like the Bible to Christians or the Vedas to Hindus. But the Quran breaks this mold. It’s God’s message for all—Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and every faith or none. It’s their scripture too, intact and accessible in any language, unlike other texts where truth is muddled by human alterations.

The Quran alone remains unchanged, offering a complete system of Submission. Previous scriptures, though once divine, now bear distortions—like worshiping Jesus or praying in his name, practices God never sanctioned. These corruptions fragment God’s guidance, leaving incomplete systems. Following them is like building your soul on scraps instead of the full, nourishing plan detailed in the Quran. Even if you had an unaltered older scripture, the Quran consolidates all prior messages into one final, universal guide. To follow it is to honor your own faith’s root truth.

The ultimate criterion for Heaven is uncompromising: worship God alone. Belief in God’s existence isn’t enough—you must reject all partners or idols beside Him. Idolatry, the gravest sin, nullifies all good works if unrepented at death. It’s not optional; it’s the line between eternal success and loss.

What is Idolatry?

Idolatry isn’t just bowing to statues—it’s any belief that something or someone shares God’s power. The most glaring example across religions is worshiping Jesus. Christians elevate him to divinity, pray to him, or see him as a savior who died for their sins—ideas absent from God’s authentic word. This idolatry implies God needs a partner or intermediary, undermining His absolute authority and awareness of every deed. Jesus, a messenger, never claimed divinity or intercession; he worshiped God alone. To deify him—or any human—mockingly suggests God lacks control, needing His creation to assist Him. This ego-driven delusion lets people dodge accountability, hoping someone else bears their sins. Yet, no one can. Each soul answers to God directly.

Other forms of idolatry include:

Believing saints, prophets, or messengers intercede or help in this life or the next. Only God holds that power.

Adding names to God’s, like Muslims appending Muhammad to “There is no god except God” (La Elaaha Ella Allah). This violates monotheism and the command not to favor one messenger over others.

Revering objects (tombs, talismans), occult practices (astrology, tarot), or unsanctioned laws (e.g., dietary rules God didn’t decree).

Exalting humans—prophets, clergy, or gurus—as divine, partners, or lords beside God, or loving them as much as Him.

Prioritizing worldly pursuits (wealth, status) over God, letting them distract from His worship.

These stem from ego and cowardice, seeking shortcuts instead of relying on God alone. He knows all, controls all, and answers supplications directly—no intermediaries, no substitutes.

Submission: No Clergy, Direct Responsibility

In Submission, there are no clergy. No priests, saints, or scholars stand between you and God. Every human has equal access to Him, bearing sole responsibility for their soul. Religious hierarchies are human inventions, often tools of idolatry, claiming special authority or intercession. The Quran dismantles this: you don’t need a middleman to reach God or understand His guidance. Clergy can’t save you, forgive you, or speak for you—only you account to God on Judgment Day. This direct link empowers you to seek Him, free from reliance on flawed human mediators.

Beyond Monotheism: Criteria for Heaven

Believe in the Hereafter: Death leads to God’s judgment—Heaven or Hell, eternal and final. No reincarnation or second chances exist; intercession is a myth.

Lead a Righteous Life: God grants freedom to pursue any path, but actions must align with His guidance. The Quran lights the way, ensuring righteous choices and recovery from errors.

Why the Quran?

The Quran isn’t a “Muslim Book”—it’s God’s universal guidance for peace now and success forever. You’re free to choose, but reflect:

Ego’s Trap: It fuels idolatry (like worshiping Jesus) and defiance of God’s system, dooming millions.

Purpose of Life: Knowing why you’re created—submission to God—beats fumbling with human guesses. His system guarantees results; yours can’t.

Worldly Chaos: Satan exploits race, greed, and religion to sow discord. God’s laws, applied individually, bring order despite others’ rejection.

Messengers’ Model: All, including Jesus, submitted to God alone, never seeking worship. Emulate them—don’t idolize them.

Submission’s Triumph: God’s plan unfolds, purging corruptions. His guidance prevails, open to all who seek it.

The Quran offers a clear path: worship God alone, reject clergy, and answer to Him directly. Worshiping Jesus or any entity beside God is idolatry’s pinnacle—repentable, but fatal if maintained. Study this truth, not my opinion, and decide: Will you submit to God alone?
