Beauty and the Beast:  Did you ever think about this?  That a human being has to pass through several stages in the womb of his/her mother.  It involves such a stage in the beginning which does not seem to be nice to any one.  But once the same thing has grown up and reaches the age of maturity, it is as if a bud of rose has bloomed with it's fullest beauty thus charming the viewers. The person who was earlier in the womb of a mother, just a liquid without any beauty or excellence, now seems to be enjoying the worldly beauty reaching such a stage wherein people have gone crazy over him/her and they rush to get his / her glimpse and even autographs!  Now here is the clue to why most of the people of other communities hate  the way muslims believe, pray, fast, go for pilgrimage to Makkah, the way muslim women dress up (in Hijab) and abstain from such activities and ways of other cultures etc!  Now such practices of Muslims look very ugly to others.  But like the human embryo which grows up to be a full man or woman, lo and behold! they go crazy and start loving the same things! Now what did you understand from this example?  It's the Truth and Fact that it takes time to realize the beauty of those things which God has planned and given to us for our good. Islam is one such thing. But those things which seem beautiful outwardly, are capable of causing you great harms.   Even though you may hate the culture and beliefs of Islam, but if you fail to realize it's beauty in your life span itself, then there is none to save you.  The beauty of Islam is such that one must go crazy over it and rush to enjoy it's benefits.  Because with God Almighty Allah, Islam is the Best Gift which must not be neglected or rejected simply because now for the moment, it seems bad to some person...!

Severing the ties of kinship: It is one of the dangerous things a person can do unto him/herself.  In one of the sayings of the Holy Messenger of God, Syedina Muhammad (peace be upon him),  has instructed us to take care of and keep-up the  blood relationship, if any of us wants to live longer.  Those who deny the God given rights of their parents, brothers, sisters, children and others are harmed greatly and they will fall into misfortune in this world itself and after death as well.  The children who are totally careless about the facts and truth sent by God (they study in famous colleges and universities for gaining worldly knowledge but don't care for the knowledge of God) are now a days abandoning their parents to  the "elderly homes" or to the mercy of governments!  The result on such people will be horrible.  Can you imagine the condition of a person who is going to jump from a tall building on to a huge fire below?  or on to the path of a fast approaching train?  Such acts show us immediate results.  But God is Graceful and He loves mankind more than anyone else and He is the Most forbearing and Persevering.  So, He does not give the result for our bad acts done against Him immediately. He has a plan and His rope is loose. He gives us time to realize our sins and mistakes and time to reform and to uphold His Laws.  But When He pulls-up the string, none can escape.  But Why take a chance?

Now let us learn from the Hadith of the Holy Prophet:

The Prophet said: Allah created His Creation and when He finished it, the womb got up and caught hold of Allah whereupon Allah said: "What is the matter?" On that, it said, "I seek refuge with you from Al-Qatiah (those who sever the ties of kith and kin)." Allah replied: "Will you be satisfied if I bestow My favors on him who keeps your ties and withhold My favors from him who severs your ties?" The womb said:" Yes, My Lord! Then Allah said: "That is for you"
(Al Bukhari). In another Hadith, Prophet is quoted as having declared that whoever wants a longer life span, should keep-up his ties of kith and kin (blood relationship). One should not break the ties with parents, brother, sister and other relatives.

 

Superiority of a Reverter to Islam (New Muslim):

 

As narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri,  the noble companion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), The Prophet said: "If a person embraces Islam sincerely, then Allah shall forgive all his past sins and after that starts the settlement of accounts (means : he or she starts the life from zero point, like a clean page or like a baby which is innocent): the reward of his (her) good deeds will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and an evil deed will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it (Sahih Al Bukhari). Means God gives too much reward for a good deed for a new muslim where as his or her bad deeds done after accepting Islam will be counted as one single point against one sin or evil act.  How best and Just is God's Judgment! But they run away and try to escape from Allah (they will not escape from Him anyhow), unto those who are at the Mercy of Allah Himself, who do not give them anything and Only Allah gives everyone and all of them,  what He wishes for!. We can't dictate Allah. We either fall in line (with Allah's Decree and Decisions) or fall into disgrace by our rejection and arrogance.

Angels Report to God of Our Acts: The Final Prophet Muhammad (s) said: "Angels come (to you) in succession by night and day and all of them get together at the time of the Fajr (Pre-dawn) prayer and Asr prayers (afternoon).  Then those who have stayed with you overnight (the angels doing night duty), ascend unto Allah, Who asks them concerning His slaves (means all of us. He knows about us better than the Angels, though) : "How (in what condition) have you left My slaves?" They reply: "We left them while they were praying and we came to them while they were praying." (Al-Bukhari). Therefore, we are not supposed to be sleeping at the time of morning (Fajr )and Afternoon (Zuhr ) prayers which is the time when men would rather like to have a very good sleep (because Satan causes men and women to forget God's remembrance so that he could cause our downfall too, like he did to himself. Why should we be victims to his dangerous games or his evil plots?

God informs us the truth:

 

Seven Great Destructive Sins:

Our Final Prophet Muhammad (s) has informed about them to us and warned us to avoid these, the knowledge of which had been given to him by God Almighty Himself (by revelation) : 

1. To join others in worship along with Allah. 

2. To practice sorcery.

3. To kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to the Law of God only, because only He gave life and punishment of death can be given to a person only if God's laws permit it.  The same thing applies to animal slaughter as well).

4. To eat up Riba  (usury).

5. To eat up an orphan's wealth.

6. To show one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting.

7. And to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are true believers (Sahih Al Bukhari).

Excerpts from the news media:

 

<Handshaking Rules: rules of handshaking can vary a lot around the world.  in Asia, it is very unusual to shake hands when greeting, but when a person does, it should be gentle, says a report in fVW international, a German journal. but in Korea, where a fairly firm handshaking is the norm. in Arab countries handshakes are long and are often repeated. but in strictly muslim countries, men and women only welcome other members of their sex verbally. Americans generally prefer firm handshakes yet shaking hands is uncommon in north America, it is a much more unusual form of greeting in Latin America. regional variations, apply in Europe too. the German custom is a firm handshake and they shake hands frequently. the French prefer a lighter touch, although handshakes are also a common form of greeting. in Britain, on the other hand, the handshake is rare>

 

Astrologers and the Future:
Astrologers just failed (as usual) to alert the people before the recent Earthquake in Gujarat.  Had they known what was going to happen, thousands of people could have been saved by moving to safe areas.  But as God teaches us in the Holy Qur-an that the knowledge of future events is known only to Him.  Astrologers can thrive only in such a society where people do not believe in the Words of Holy Qur-an.  God has promised a severe punishment for whoever claims to be having the hidden knowledge, which is the exclusive domain of God Almighty Allah only. Astrologers, their followers and believers thus would be entering the Danger Zone by doing such a dangerous act, only to be  caught up unawares, in the end, by God's punishment. So it's better to warn the people in advance so that God save us all. Allah the Only God takes care of the whole universe.  Nothing falls down on your head from the stars or the planets. Then can't He take care of us all, if we have real and firm faith in Him?  We are only about 5 feet high and weigh around 70 kilograms.  But there are such things in the universe which are several times bigger and Heavier  than the Earth.  Then, is man's problem (his safety, food, housing etc) any issue for God Almighty Allah?  No, never.  He informs us that He is not tired of running the affairs of the whole Universe. He will roll up the heavens and the earth on the Day of Resurrection with ease. Do they then take refuge with the words of Astrologers?  Can't you see what God's words can do to you?  Surely God will question  them on the Day of Judgment,  for not believing His Holy Books-namely Torah, Gospel, Psalms in their respective times and now Finally Holy Qur-an which is the Book for  the Guidance for the Final generation of mankind.   Then read the Holy Qur-an and see the Truth for yourself!

Don't you see, in the usual life, if a person does not give tax to Government, the authorities would make a surprise raid (mostly in the early morning so that their catch does not have a chance to escape) on his house and property and take away what they need and put him even in jail? 

 

Then if any one of us forgets God Almighty Allah or disbelieves Him, fails to obey His Commands and Guidance given in His Final Book Al-Qur'an, then chances are that God will send at anytime His Angels to settle the account in  a dreadful manner. So if man forgets or rejects God Almighty Allah, then be ready to be double "fried" in this world and in the Hereafter? Now there are two choices. One is of God's safety and security and the other is insecurity, tragedy and permanent suffering. Now, one can not delay any more the decision for his or her own good.  Declare now, boldly and loudly that you are a believer of Allah and only He can save or punish you.  The world is nothing.  Be like Omar the Great (the second Khalifa of Islam) - whom the whole world used to be afraid because of his Faith in Allah and God-fearingness and justice. 

 

 

Moses fasts:

 

Allah instructed Moses to purify himself by fasting for thirty days, after which he was to go to Mount Sinai, where he would be given the law by which he would govern his people. It is said that after Moses fasted thirty days, he hated to speak to his Lord because of the odor of his mouth. (When Muslims fast in Holy Month of Ramadan, they feel bad odor in their mouths but it is considered by God as a most pleasant smell).

So Moses ate a plant of the earth and then his Lord said to him:  "Why did you break your fast?" Moses replied : "O my Lord, I disliked to speak to You with my mouth not having a pleasant smell. Allah said : "Do you not know, Moses, the odor of the faster's mouth is more fragrant to Me than the rose.  Go back and fast ten days; then come back to Me."  Moses did what Allah commanded.

Almighty Allah declares in the Holy Qur'an: <And We appointed for Moses thirty Nights and (added to the period) ten (more), and he completed the term, appointed by his Lord, of forty nights.  And Moses said to his brother Aaron (before he went up): "Replace me among my people, act in the Right Way (by ordering the people to obey Allah and to worship Him Alone) and follow not the way of the Mufsideen (Mischief makers)." And when Moses came at the time and place appointed by Us and his Lord spoke to him, he said : "O my Lord!  Show me (yourself), that I may look upon You."

Allah said : "You can not see Me, but look upon the mountain if it stands still in its place then you shall see Me."  So when his Lord Manifested Himself to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust and Moses fell down unconscious.  Then when he recovered his senses, he said : "Glory be to You; I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers (Ana' Awwal-ul-Mu'mineen)."  Holy Qur'an : Chapter No.7, Verses 142-143. Read more about the Story of Moses in this chapter and the following chapters: 2, 5, 6, 10, 11, 14, 17, 18, 20, 23, 25, 26, 27,  28, 31, 37,  40, 43, 51, 53, 61 & 79. 

 

for the one you love.. :- If you love a game like football or basket ball or cricket or base ball or tennis... you will go any extent not to miss to watch it on TV.  you give such an importance to your beloved or favorite game which is not given by yourself to other games.  you may be least bothered about other games.  you are ready to forego your sleep and food, friends and so on for the sake of this.  the condition of those who love god almighty allah is no different.  they wake up early in the morning for the Fajr Prayer before sun rise or fast one lunar month in the holy month of Ramadan (which was the month when holy qur-an was revealed), they travel thousands of kilometers to go to hajj pilgrimage in makkah city, women wear veils and do not use their bodies and dresses as a matter of attraction for the public-Gazing, free or otherwise (there are other things to watch -like games), they are martyred for the cause of god whom they love because there is no meaning to their life without acknowledging their love to him- if they do not offer the highest gift of their most beloved thing-the soul itself to the one who created it (Almighty Allah).  All these are as per the command of god almighty allah only (and not due to any superstitious belief).  Now you can gauge how much you love your creator almighty god Allah and what you have done to show your gratitude to him for all that you have got in your life. a drop of water, good health and eyes, ears,  brain, heart, kidneys - that work well .... all these are his gifts and you can't question any of his gifts.  Read chapter no.55, of holy qur-an if you really love god to know about his gifts to you.  if you don't love god almighty Allah and you have given same importance to someone else instead of him, then that is not the sign of a successful human being.  the loss in future is visible clearly now itself.  the writing is on the wall. can you change the situation and be one of the grateful (devotees) of almighty Allah and get heaven in the permanent life after death?  If you disregard it, then ask, the one whom you love, instead of allah as god, whether he (they) will give you heaven and save from the hell fire?  that will be the wise judgment and good - risk free business, if at all you did so?

 

 

 

Sleepers of the Cave:

 

Chapter No. 18 of the Holy Qur-an has the title 'Al-Kahf' or  - The Cave.  In this chapter,  God wants us to inform that mankind should not doubt about His Promise and abilities to raise the dead on the Day of Judgment for settling our affairs and disputes of this life. Some youth who had become muslims by their belief in One True Master and God, Almighty Allah, wanted to save themselves from the pagans and the idolaters who were in majority. This event happened in the Roman Empire after Jesus.  The rulers were idolaters, like their subjects,  who had made the life of the Muslim Youth, difficult. They prayed to God for the safety of their Islamic Faith.  They hid themselves in the cave for more than three centuries. Allah saved them by subjecting them to a long sleep in a cave,   which lasted for more than three centuries.  But when God raised them from their sleep, they thought they had only slept for a day or more. God showed by their example, how He could raise the people alive even after a long time and still people would think that they had slept for a few hours!  The people of their town were divided over this issue of Resurrection on the Day of Judgment. Some supporting the belief and some rejecting this as false.  God Almighty Allah showed them the Truth by the example of the Sleepers of the Cave. God has forbidden us from jumping into the discussion or conclusion regarding how many were they and how many years they tarried in the cave in their long sleep? Please read complete story in chapter no.18 of Holy Qur-an.

Dead Person and his/her companion: Who will go along with a dead person?  His wife (or husband)? Father, Mother, Friends, Priests, Leaders, fans or followers? Find out the answer: Allah's Final Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A dead person is followed by three, two of which return (after his burial or funeral) and one remains with him (or her): his relatives, his property and his deeds follow him; relatives and his property return, while his deeds remain with him" (Al-Bukhari). 

Reasons for natural disasters: Natural disasters happen because people are arrogant and would not like to thank God even after being reminded by good people. Non-muslims know what they would have to do if a pet dog starts biting household members.  They will arrange for it's final destination (muslims are prohibited in Islam to bring in dogs inside their houses). When man starts the habit of being cruel against other men, does injustice and other evil acts, when usury is rampant, parents, elders and teachers are disrespected and finally mankind reaches to that stage where they would not care for what is right and what is wrong-the imminent danger would show up!   Almighty Allah has fixed a limit, how far we can go in doing evil acts in this world-even though He commands us not to do evil and sinful acts. Up to that limit and time, a person has a chance to repent and reform and start a new life of being obedient servant of God Almighty Allah.  People challenge God Almighty Allah by their sinful ways.  In the sense, they make anyone as their god and then when they don't get from him what they wanted, they  just dump that god and go for another 'lucrative', 'more powerful' god.  Then how can you get security from the Real God Almighty Allah?  People who don't agree with His words but still  want that God (Allah) give them all they wanted?  If you have rented-out your house to someone, and he does not pay the rent, and then, thinking that you can do no harm to him, challenges you or fights with you when you ask for your dues from him, what is his punishment?  You know very well!  

God Almighty Allah is unseen.  But we can't disregard His Holy Book -Al Qur'an (His guidance and words).  We either recognize it and follow it or pay the penalty in this world and in the next world for ever. Generally Muslims today have failed to follow the Holy Qur'an and Final Prophet Muhammad's Commands. We should have guided others to the straight path of God, strived for the well-being of all humans.  Most of us are not paying Zakath, and other alms so that poverty is completely eradicated.  Then there is no wonder, if they are facing different problems from all directions. Let us all repent for our sins and not leave our security and safety to mere chance.  May God Almighty Allah protect us all (Aameen). Even after explaining in this beautiful and soft way by good examples, if someone chooses his own path other than Allah's, then he or she is already in the Danger Zone. What can you do if someone is not ready to listen to?

 

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO MOON? : -  There was no chance for errors or misjudgment when the scientists planned the mission of man to the moon. Now, if you want to go to Heaven, you will have to do all the preparations and all this as per the exact guidance of God Almighty Allah.   Because Heaven is a matter of Eternal World and only Allah can give you entry to it, you must take correct decision based on the Guidance of Almighty Allah.  He sent His Prophets for this purpose only.  Now His Final Book -Al Qur-an and Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them) were sent by Him for the last Ummah (or Generation) of mankind so that they take the right path unto God, His Heaven and Successful Life (in this world and the Eternal world).  Do you need anything more?  Take the important decision right away because one stroke of death will show you how true was the call of Allah and His Prophet and Islam?  Death will lay bare the Eternal Truth spoken by Allah and His thousands of Prophets, throughout the History of Mankind.

 

 

When Zun-Nun or Prophet Jonah (Younus in Arabic-peace be upon him) was in the belly of a large fish or a whale, he cried to Almighty Allah for deliverance. God says: <.....But he cried through the depths of darkness, "There is no god but you: Glory to you: I was indeed wrong!" So We (Almighty Allah) listened to him:  And delivered him from Distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith>Holy Qur-an, chapter no.21, verses 87 and 88If a man who is in any trouble, sincerely repents to Allah for his (or her) sins and prays to God Almighty Allah, in a befitting way, as above, having full faith in Him, will get delivered from any big or small difficulties (Insha Allah, God willing).

Over it are Nineteen:<74:30-31

<And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? Naught does it permit to endure, and naught does it leave alone!- Darkening and changing the color of man!  Over it are Nineteen.  And We (Almighty Allah) have set none but Angels as guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book and the Believers.......>74:27-31.

The Strong person:  Allah's Messenger informed us : "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength but  the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger." (Sahih Bukhari Hadith).

The Second Coming of Jesus, son of Maryam : Narrated Abu Huraira (One of the Noble and Truthful companion of the Holy Prophet)  : Allah's Messenger said : <By Him (Allah) in Whose hands is my soul, surely, the son of Maryam (Isa or Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Qur'an (as a Just Ruler) and will break the Cross and Kill the Pigs and abolish the Jizyah.  Then there will be abundance of wealth and nobody will accept charitable gifts (Sahih Al Bukhari).

(The Jizyah will not be accepted by Isa (Jesus) and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam having no other alternative. Jesus being the Prophet of Allah, and being a Muslim (follower of Allah's Religion Islam) will be sent by Allah to complete his balance life on this earth as a follower of Prophet Muhammad (note: his second coming is not in the status of a Prophet, but as a follower of Prophet Muhammad-the Final Prophet of God).  Jizyah is a tax collected from the non-Muslims who are under the protection of a Muslim Government and are exempted from military services).  Jizyah will not be accepted by Jesus and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam or fight against Jesus and His Army of Muslims>

Pharaoh's Body Saved by God (through men): He was the king of Egypt during the time of Prophet Moosa (Moses)-peace be upon him.  He claimed himself as God and insulted Allah and His Prophet Moses.  See now what happens: God informs us: <Moses said: ''O my people! if you do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if you submit (your will to His)".  They said: "In Allah do we put our trust.   Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practice oppression; And deliver us by Your Mercy from those who reject (thee)> HOLY QUR-AN :  10: 84-86. 
<Moses prayed: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendor and wealth in this life of the present, and so, Our Lord they mislead (men) from Your Path.  Deface our Lord the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous chastisement." 
Allah said: "Accepted is your prayer (O Moses and Aaron)! So stand you straight, and follow not the path of those who know not.  We took the Children of Israel across the sea;  Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite.  At length, when overwhelmed with the flood,
he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him whom the children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (To Allah in Islam)."  (It was said to him:)  "Ah now!-But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- And thou didst mischief (and violence)!  "This day shall We (Majesty of Almighty Lord Allah) save you in your body, that you may be a sign to those who come after you!  But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" 10:88-92.  Still they worship humans and other forms leaving Allah, the Creator of all forms and human beings.

On whom do the Satans descend? God informs us: <They  descend on every lying, wicked person, they listen eagerly and most of them are liars> Chapter 26: Verse 222-223.

Satans can not hear the Holy Words of God.  They are banned from hearing this. God Almighty Allah informs us:  
<The Satans did not bring it down: It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power. 
Indeed they are banished from hearing it> 26:210-211. If some one has any problem of evil forces (Satans, devils) or haunted by them at his place of dwelling (houses etc)should read loudly the above verses (210, 211) or any part of the Holy Qur'an and also Announce Azan loudly.  Satan's can not bear with this and they will immediately flee from there.  If they return again the same thing is to be repeated.

Why did God fix the mountains?: God Almighty Allah informs us in the Holy Qur'an: <And We have set on the earth, Mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them (the mankind), and We have made therein Broad Highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: That they may find their way> 21: 31.

In every way God did favour to us, but we do not even bother to think about His Unlimited (flood of) Gifts and Mercies we receive daily. We even fail to recognize His Proper Name as Allah. We give Him such Names which are not His own.  But people cry only when a single disaster comes upon them and they complain that God has acted with cruelty.  In the first place, they themselves are responsible for the disaster by their own acts.  For example people cut down the rain forests without proper planning and care for the nature created by God.  They don't realize that there is a reason behind the existence of something in the nature. If someone fills the path of a river when it had dried up during summer season, with stones and soil, what  will happen when it rains heavily during the Rainy season?  The water must flow down to some place and it will enter your towns and cities and houses destroying the people and property.  Then there are too many examples, which teach us good lessons.  But people don't give any respect to God Almighty Allah, His Prophet Muhammad, His Holy Book - 'Al Qur-an' and Religion -'Al-Islam'. Then what will happen for blocking the path of Islam and Holy Qur'an?  It is horrible even to imagine.  But it is not shown in this world.  It is hidden by God until death.
Now it's time for a story of some monkeys.  They once saw, some carpenters sawing a log of the timber. Once they were away for their noon meals and rest, the monkeys gathered around the log and their sight fell on the wedge which was inserted by the carpenters between the two already cut parts of the log. As per their nature, they started pulling it out from its position and finally when they succeeded, Aye! it was a disaster for them.  They did not know in advance what would be the result of their action? O' Poor MOnkeys!  Now, their tails had stuck up between the two sawn parts of the timber  because the gap was released by the act of the monkeys and could not come out at any rate.  What to do now other than crying? Who will listen to their cries?  This story can serve as a good lesson for all of us.

Do they think that the roses that grow  in a garden of a Christian and a Hindu or a Buddhist have been created by different gods- one each for Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims? They will surely accept that Allah is the Creator because the awareness of this Basic Truth is embedded into Human Nature by God Almighty Allah Himself. Their denial of this fact can not falsify the Universal Truth.  In a criminal case, police may resort to beating for verification and  confirmation of Truth by the Criminals. People who care not for Allah should think that if they deny this fact, what will happen to them when Allah will punish them in the Next World after the test is over (by the end of this life which is a test of God Almighty Allah)?
God promises us security if we believe and obey Him. God will never do any unjustified act against anybody.  His Grace extends to all mankind.  You do strive for your food and clothing, housing etc. When you want to travel to some place, you wait for a bus or a taxi or a train.  Once a bus arrives, you just rush to get a seat for yourself for journeying with comfort.  Now when God has given you the call of Islam in His Final Book, Al Qur-an, (which is also called from the minaret of the mosques, five times daily, through out the world by the prayer call or Azan), why do you lag behind?  Why don't you rush to get the highest score of your life to be used in the next world? Then you must also have to struggle,  more than you do for the present world, for the well being in the Next World which is permanent. As each day of our life passes behind, we are leaving behind this world too and moving forward towards our Eternal Life.  Like a traveler who starts from one point is more and more away from the starting point or town and  gets nearer to the destination.  Our Destination is the Eternal World where we will meet Allah. All humans must thank Allah and try to be Grateful to
Him for His dues by way of believing and worshipping (Him Only as God).

Imagine about some parents having several children. But among them, some children are too much crazy and mischievous.  They always trouble others and do not listen to good advice nor do they obey their parents. Now, some are good and obedient to the parents.  The parents would surely reward those who do good and obey them.  And they will punish such children who would do evil things. God Almighty Allah also does good to the good and bad to the bad. Allah is the God who punishes for evil acts and rewards for good acts. A student who is lazy and does not do home work and fare well in the exams is not going to be joined with good students by the teachers.  They will sort out such bad students by marks (scores) and grade them accordingly. Actually what the evil we earn, will be returned to us in the form of its result. Like if you sow a seed of poisonous fruit, after some time you will not get the apple, in-fact you will get the same poisonous fruit. Now why blame God or others for our mistakes?

God made the Heavens as a canopy: <And We have made the Heavens as  a canopy Well Guarded: Yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)! 21:32.  

Don't you see how the Governments appoint guards at the entry points, in and around some important places, like palace, offices, military installations, Borders, Check posts etc.  God has appointed Guards for the Heavens.  He can do it without the guards (angels) but He shows us His Signs by different ways and we are also taught a lesson by them so that we use God's Techniques and Methods in our affairs for success.  As you know, man uses the same technology which is in the nature for building and operating the airplane, rocket, radar system, submarine, ships, motor cars etc.  We have learnt all these things from God Himself.  God said in the Holy Qur'an, in one of the first five verses that were revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) as: <Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has taught man that which he knew not. Nay but man doth transgress all bounds, in that he looketh upon himself as self sufficient> 96: 3-7.   So we can understand that man has no power and knowledge except what God has given to Him. Man can either use this for his good or bad. God will give Final Judgment on the Day of Judgment.
