Tested and Scrutinized
----------------------------

We are Being Tested and ScrutinizedBy The Almighty GOD

[67:1]MOST EXALTED IS  THEONE WHOM IN HIS HANDSALL KINGSHIP AND HE IS OMNIPOTENT

 [67:2]THE ONE WHO CREATED DEATH AND LIFE FOR THEPURPOSE OF DISTINGUISHING  THOSE AMONGYOU WHO WOULD DO BETTER. HE IS THEALMIGHTY THE FORGIVING.

[51:56] I DID NOT CREATE THE JINNS AND THE HUMANSEXCEPT FOR THE PRUPOSE OF WORSHIP.

I CAN'T THINK OF ONE OTHER LOGICAL, RATIONAL,AND SENSIBLE REASON WHY WE ARE HEREIN THIS WORLD...CAN YOU?

Death, undeniably is the biggest and most major event in our lives

We all are going to die at the end... blah, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc, and then... we DIE.

I say this because we often tend to forget. we prepare for just about anything and everything, but we hardly sincerely prepare ourselves or the great major event in our life DEATH. We prepare to go out, to get married, to go to work, but most of us fail to prepare for death.

Preparing for death actually means preparing for that that we will face, and to some of us it is at least a case of might face after death... surely no one came back from death and told us but, We have the GOD given sacred intelligence and freedom, so naturally and logically we should be making the best out of it in trying to figure it out.

This is part of the desire to seek GOD'S Guidance, and Satan's biggest job is to divert us from this inevitable major reality by dominating us and wasting our time with other things.

Surely we have a life to live... that is obvious and natural but, we have a death to die as well, so how come we are too concerned with life and neglecting the REALITY of death... the reality that should make us serious and responsible enough to search for the TRUTH AND LIVE OUR LIFES IN TRUTH.

WE HAVE TWO OPTION...EITHER TO BELIEVE IN GOD BASED ON LOGIC AND BASED ON A VERY POWERFUL INFALLIBLE WISDOMFUL MESSAGE, OR BELIEVE IN SOME OTHER FREAKY RISKY IDEAS BASED ON ILLUSIONS AND PURE CONJECTURES AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

BELIEVING IN GOD ENCOURAGE, ADVICE, AND COMMANDS US TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND TO PURIFY OUR SOULS, MINDS, AND DEEDS, AND TO FREE OURSELVS FROM ALL KINDS OF UNWORTHY IDOLS AND FALSE GODS THAT DOMINATE US, ENSLAVE US AND KEEP US IN BONDAGE THAT IS IN ADDITION TO ALL THE KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, BLESSINGS AND GOODNESS THAT ENTAILS.

NOT BELIEVING ON THE OTHER HAND PUTS US AT RISK OF BEING CARELESS, CONFUSED, AND LEAVES US AT THE MERCY OF OUR WILD DESIRES, AND AT THE MERCY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S WILD DESIRES... IT ALSO MAKE US VULNERABLE TO WORSHIPING UNWORTHY IDOLS AND FALSE GODS THAT DOMINATE US, ENSLAVE US AND KEEP US IN BONDAGE AND VULNERABLE TO ALL KINDS OF DANGEROUS, RISKY, ONGOING, HOPELESS TRIAL AND ERROR VICIOUS CYCLES, THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE, CORRUPTIONS, HARDSHIP, AND SUFFERING THAT IT ENTAILS.

GOD created us to WORSHIP HIM, and HE created Death and life to TEST US.

Beside GODS message, everything in life indicate so.

Passing The Test results in the BEST reward and Takes us to Paradise, failing Takes us To hell... we are gradually and increasingly being TESTED as we grow all the time till The day we die, Then we will be judged accordingly by The almighty GOD... The creator sustainer of the whole universe.

[42:7] We Thus reveal to you an Arabic QURAN to warn the central community and all around it, and to warn about the Day of Summoning that is inevitable. Some will end up in Heaven, and some in Hell.

CLEARELY we have two options in life ONLY... we either have the desire to seek GOD'S guidance (The TRUTH), BE guided and succeed or inevitably  have the desire to seek astray, GO astray and fail.

When it comes to the TRUTH and GOD'S religion, There are two BASIC parties/sects ONLY in the entire world and at all times... GOD'S Party and Satan's party.

Satan ( Shaitaan ), is a major aspect of TEST, and we have the ability to go either way... we have the option, The Freedom to go either ways, either toward GOD ( goodness ) or toward Satan ( evilness ).

GOD created everything in this world in a way that could have a positive or a negative effect on us... Money, Power, Parents, Women, Children...depending on the way we handle it; I.E GOD'S way or Satan's way.

Based on GOD'S system and based on the FREEDOM we are provided with two options... a positive option and a negative option, a positive will power which is the desire to seek guidance (mashi'ato al-hidaya) and a negative will power which is the desire to seek astray (mashi'ato al-dalal) .

[13:27] Those who disbelieve would say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we would believe)." Say, "GOD sends astray whomever DESIRE TO SEEK, and guides to Him only those who obey."

[13:28] They are the ones who believe and * whose hearts rejoice in remembering GOD. Absolutely, by remembering GOD, the hearts rejoice.

[91:7] The soul and Him who created it [91:8] Then ENABLED TO BE EVIL OR GOOD. [91:8] Successful is one who PURIFY it. [91:10] Failing is one who POISON it.

GOD command us and encourage us to be good, balanced, and just in dealing with ourselves and in dealing with everything around us... HE is always giving us signs to utilize and tap-on our ability and our freedom to be and do good... generally without imposing upon us, HE will guide and support us when we choose to SEEK HIM, and Call upon HIM.

[16:90] GOD advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.

On the other hand "Satan" ( The obvious enemy ) wants to through us off balance and make us forget this reality by constantly deceiving and tempting us to do wrong, and to be unjust, careless and corrupted by utilizing and taping-on our ability and freedom to be and do bad... But he have No control upon to us, unless we allow him to.

[24:21] O you who believe, do not follow the steps of Satan. Anyone who follows the steps of Satan should know that he advocates evil and vice. If it were not for GOD's grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But GOD purifies whomever DESIRE AND SEEK. GOD is Hearer, Knower.

This is an ongoing TEST, till the day of judgment, this is something we witness on a daily bases throughout our lives, this is something that can NOT be simply Ignored by anyone... there is no explanation to the phenomenon of the two obvious major forces of good ( Positive ) and evil ( negative)... good and bad that influence everything in our lives better than the one that could be found in GOD'S infallible  book ... NONE... period.

One major thing to keep in mind at all times, is the fact that by the nature of the TEST, NOT everything is revealed to us... there is that natural element of faith. Faith means believing in the unseen, faith  that is based intelligent FREE desire to seek GOD's guidance which acts as a channel that connects us with the unseen.

In addition to that, knowing GOD is a process, a progressive process, just like anything else in life, just like daylight gradually replacing darkness, just like everything grows and develops in progressive process.

For example how could could a 1 year old baby drive a car, unless he grows and eventually learn in a progressive process then learn in a progressive process how drive a car... the same with the process in learning and knowing about GOD, one can't expect to learn in one day, without sincerely seeking and learning in a progressive process.

Just like any educational process, you will never be able to go through university without going to high-school... The same thing with the process of knowing and learning about GOD, and HIS message.

A good example is the reflection of sunlight on the surface of the moon, people knew it was light but they did not know where it was coming form until after a continuous process of search and study that enabled them to discover the source being the sun... yet they can't get close enough to it to study it and fully understand it.

The same thing with creation being a reflection of GOD, and we will never discover the source until we seek and study, but that does not mean we will fully understand all aspects of HIM.

The problem being that people tends to learn everything and anything more than they are willing to learn about GOD, at the same time others have been taking advantage of the name of GOD for all kinds of evil reasons, distorting GOD'S Pure message along the way which makes it all the more confusing and challenging to find the REAL GENUINE MESSAGE, BUT that is PART of the TEST anyway.

[16:93] Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends  astray whoever DESIRE AND SEEK to go astray, and He guides whoever DESIRE AND SEEK to be  guided. You will surely be ACCOUNTABLE for things you have done.

You see, if GOD revealed HIMSELF, or if he revealed hell or heaven to us, then that would defeat the purpose of the fact that we being tested.

Knowing GOD takes time and effort which is part of the TEST itself.

[41:35] We will SHOW them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth. Is your Lord not sufficient as a witness of all things?

[27:93] And say, "Praise be to GOD; He will SHOW you His proofs, until you recognize them. Your Lord is never unaware of anything you do."

[22:54] Those who are blessed with knowledge will recognize the truth from your Lord, then believe in it, and their hearts will readily accept it. Most assuredly, GOD guides the believers in the right path.

[34:6] It is evident to those who are blessed with knowledge that this revelation from your Lord to you is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the Almighty, the Most Praiseworthy.

Surely as soon as we DESIRE AND SEEK, follow, believe in HIM, reach-out to HIM, purify, and attain salvation, we will be  rewarded by more guidance ( knowledge and wisdom ) to strengthen our faith, and to improve our understanding and performance in life, a performance that is being recorded, a performance that we will be held accounted for in-front of the ALMIGHTY GOD, sooner or latter... every single one of us, and there will be NO escape from accountability to ALMIGHTY GOD [ 3:133-200 ].

[29:69] As for those who STRIVE in our cause, we will surely guide them in our paths. Most assuredly, GOD is with the pious.

GOD is JUST... Therefore There Will BE JUSTICE.

[68:34] The righteous have deserved, at their Lord, gardens of bliss. [68:35] Shall we treat the Submitters like the criminals? [68:36] What is wrong with your logic? [68:37] Do you have another book to uphold? [68: 38] In it, do you find anything you want? [68:39] Or, have you received solemn assurances from us that grant you whatever you wish on the Day of Resurrection?

The desire to seek ( Mashi'ato al-hidayah ) is the first step toward guidance, The fact that explains why some people are totally blinded to the fact of GOD'S existence. No matter how much you try to convince them , let alone not being able to recognize the ultimate guidance of HIS INFALLIBLE BOOK when they have a chance to properly receive it... they don't have the DESIRE TO SEEK GUIDANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

[10:39] Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the transgressors.

[35:8] Note the one whose evil work is adorned in his eyes, until he thinks that it is righteous. GOD thus sends astray whoever DISRE AND SEEK to go astray, and He guides whoever DESIRE AND SEEK to be guided. Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.

[28:57] You CANNOT guide the ones you love. GOD guides whomever  DESIRE AND SEEK to be guided, and in accordance with His knowledge of those who deserve the guidance.

They are dominated by and seeking other thing, other than GOD, Things such as Money, Power, Women, Play etc, etc... THEYARE NOT SEEKING THE CREATOR, SUSTAINER, PROVIDER OF ALL THINGS...TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT OF GOD'S EXISTENCE... They have other priorities in life... priorities other than Sincerely Seeking a Genuine, Logical, Rational, answer To The...

MOST IMPORTANT 3 QUESTIONS IN LIFE

# WHERE DID WE COME FROM ?

# WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE ?

# AND WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO ?

QUESTIONS THAT ARE VERY CLEARLY ANSWERED BY

GOD

 IN THE

QURAN

FOR ANYONE

WHO

DESIRE AND SEEK HIS GUIDANCE.

[17:9]

THIS QURAN GUIDES TO THE BEST PATH AND BRINGS GOOD NEWS TO THE BELIEVERS WHO LEADS A RIGHTEOUS LIFE THAT THEY HAVE DESERVED A GREAT RECOMPENSE.

***

And that explains why many people are ready to ARGUE before they even understand, because they are NOT SEEKING GUIDANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE!... they are blinded and enslaved by other desires, such as arrogance, winning an argument, and false pride.

[22:9] Among the people there is the one who ARGUES about GOD without knowledge, and without guidance, and without an enlightening scripture.

[22:10] Arrogantly he strives to divert the people from the path of GOD. He thus incurs humiliation in this life, and we commit him on the Day of Resurrection to the agony of burning.

[10:39] Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the transgressors.

It is important to mention here that GOD gives us just enough chance to learn, search, ponder, and develop... enough chance to reproduce, and enough chance to make a choice, either on GOD'S side or Satan's side, either on the side of goodness, or the side of evilness... HE gives us enough chance to sort out different things in our lives, and to set our priorities straight, therefore HE tells us that the age of 40 is a crucial age... a mature age where one would have had enough experience and knowledge to make a responsible decision in spite of the obstacles, and confusions that he might have gone through... confusions mostly caused by ignorant evil parents, ignorant evil religious leaders, ignorant evil society,and ignorant, evil governments.

[46:15] We enjoined the human being to honor hisparents.  His mother bore him arduously, gave birthto him  arduously, and took intimate care of him forthirty  months. When he reaches maturity, andreaches the  age of FORTY, he should say, "MyLord, direct me  to appreciate the blessingsYou have bestowed upon me and upon myparents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Let my childrenbe righteous  as well. I have repentedto You; I am a submitter."

[46:16]It is from these that we accept the righteousworks, and  overlook their sins. They havedeserved Paradise.  This is the truthfulpromise that is promised to them.
