    To those who ascribe themselves to Atheists... (OP)



    To those who ascribe themselves to Atheists:

    Maybe the cause for your sadness is because you've been taught by others that:-


    - Your origins are by Chance,
    - that you have Entered this world through an Accident,
    - that you are in a state of Loss because no-one can be trusted, and that every person cares for nobody but his own self.

    This is all that you have been taught, a belief system which isn't necessarily true. A belief system which isn't proven by History, nor by Science. Rather - it is an interpretation by some people who saw life from a Primitive perspective alone.



    Appreciate...

    Imagine, that you could appreciate life for who you are? So you don't look at yourself as an animal only, rather - you look at yourself as a human who has much more potential.


    You are the human who has;

    - been Honored with; an Intellect, the ability to Communicate, the ability to Crawl, Walk, Run, Swim, and even create machines by which you Fly long distances.
    - you have a Purpose:
    - a Purpose by which you can use your skills to Help others, and reap its Reward.

    This is what Guidance is; giving you a step by step Example by which you higher your self to the next level.


    How can it be that everything you have in life is designed for a positive purpose, yet you - who has all these crafted tools at your disposal; How can it be that you have nothing to advise you on how you should guide yourself?

    How can it be that the Tools you use need instruction manuals, yet you do not?




    Isn't it about time you bettered yourself?

    You weren't that Cell who came into existence through a method which nobody knows.

    You weren't that hairless Ape who never knew who his 'common ancestor' father was.

    What if these are just fairytales ? They're not proven facts afterall.


    So maybe you are that honored human, who has a purpose - serving the Originator, your Creator; who designed you in the best form, who made you unique - beneficial to society in your own special way.

    Maybe your Creator did want you to enjoy His blessings? Maybe He wanted you to enjoy them by spending them on your self, your family, friends, and those who needed them? Isn't that a sign that you're a grateful servant?



    The one who beautified the Earth and its Sky, and caused the Sky to rain and impregnate her by which she would give birth to Provisions of different Colours, and Sizes - enriching generations upon generations for thousands and millions of years...

    Producing a wide selection of Flavoured; Foods, Drinks, Materials; Clothing, Styles, Beauties, Cultures, Languages, and amazingly - the potential for Unity, in between all the differences.


    The One who causes this, causes it to occur over and over, and over again... So one generation dies, while another is brought to life..

    ..Until the last one, dies.



    Why was there so much Evil on the Earth?
    Where was the Justice?

    But, it wasn't the Earth's fault, nor was it the Sky's. They would run in harmony - completing their role in perfect timing & precision, for millenium upon millenium. Nature would run perfectly fine, without excessive human interruption.

    Wasn't it that human's fault, who spread Corruption, and caused Problems between the people, Insulting some, while Not Spending on others who needed?



    So the Originator will once again, Originate the Earth. Send down a rain - which will cause each and every human to grow out of the Earth like a plant (that same human who He created from a sperm drop.)

    Gathered on one flat and vast location, every human will run on this Day, running away from who? The one he wronged. Each person will know that he will be Questioned on this Day for what he did in the temporary worldly life. No-one will be safe.. on this Day, Except the one who came with a Serene heart.

    And who is the one with a Serene heart?

    It is the one who knew that he will face this Day. So he believed in His Provider, and served Him by doing good - giving rights to his Creator, and giving rights to the creation.

    He knew that he would made mistakes in the worldly life, but he knew that his Creator and Provider was extremely Merciful and supportive to His sincere servants. Having good hopes in His Provider, the Sincere servant - knowing he was a candle in a world filled with darkness, humbly and patiently continued to strive to uphold justice - until there came to him the Certainty (Death.)


    So on this Day - his Rich Provider is Appreciative of his good, and rewarded him with a life of endless Provisions in beautiful Gardens beneath which rivers flow.

    Gardens containing Mansions; a Beautiful Partner, a Beautiful Drink and a life of joy. If the Provider was able to give the evildoers temporary mansions in the worldly life, who can prevent Him from giving the good doers more, in an eternal world which doesn't end? Uniting him with others similar to him, the great Messengers; Noah, Jesus, Abraham, Moses, Muhammad and the righteous of all generations. And the greatest of all - the gift of meeting his Creator, and Provider, the All Rich, the Appreciative.


    Those who denied the meeting with their Creator, and caused corruption in the Earth, even after the truth had come to them - they would be punished in a Fire, especifically created for the arrogant, ungrateful.

    Ungrateful - being even more lowly than animals.

    The Animals; Eat, Drink, have Children, survive in a world full of Challenges, and then gradually Die away. Do humans?



    You - the human, have been given an Intellect, an Uprightness, an Ability - throughwhich you are Responsibe for upholding the Legislated Justice.

    You are responsible to submit in Islam (Islam means Submission) to the guidance of the All Knowing, the All Wise.


    Why? Because the Animal submits to the role the Creator has given to it - to the most of its ability, so you see the great Horse humbling itself before you - so you can ride it. You see the different Foods, humbling themselves - allowing you to benefit from the strength and energy they contain. You see Earth humble before you, as you extract her treasures of gold and silver.


    And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the Land and Sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.
    [Quran 17:70]

    Isn't the time near - that you left the Animal world, and rise up to the high Human standard which has been set for you?


    So be the best of people - walking down a clear lighted path - certain and confident in your Journey and decisions in life.

    Do not walk in darkness upon darkness, sniffing with Senses alone when deciding which way is wrong, or which way is right.


    You have an Intellect, you are honored, you are Unique. You are that honored sperm drop which can spread Justice throughout the whole Earth - if only, you follow the Guidance given to you. That is because you are supporting the cause of your Provider, but those who oppose you have no-one but themselves.


    Then wait - for the Promise of your Originator, you will come to know, and they too - will come to know, who was Truthful, and who was the liar, and then regret will be of no benefit...

    I was coming at this from more of a societal basis. If people want to live together to make a successful community, they have to have some common rules to which they adhere to.

    We can cooperate so that we all win.

    I have been thinking about what might make a "successful community". I do agree about rules/law---but I also think we have too much of it---these "laws" are being used as band-aid solutions to social problems because we don't want to make the effort to solve the root causes.....take crime for example---some of it is a social problem caused by lack of opportunities, lack of good education, an environment of dispair...etc ....these can be solved---and crime can be somewhat reduced----but no one wants to bother, and instead we end up making tougher and tougher "laws" that put more and more people into jail.
    .........Yet, time is spent catering to the needs of the superrich--bailouts, tax loopholes, favourable accounting practices....etc....
    This type of society only creates a few winners and a lot of losers. To have a society in which everyone can win---one needs to have clear expectations about responsibility...everyone should have an equal opportunity to create wealth, those that are better at it must have the responsibility of helping out those who are not so good at it, the governments should be responsible for the welfare of all of its citizens---not simply cater to the needs of the rich and powerful......and all that stuff....

    I think it was ibn Khaldun (14th century) who wrote that high taxes and large armies stifle bussiness enterprises ...so the opposite should be the government policy....sounds good to me.
