Dear all, peace be with you.
I am finally back again with the Koranic banquit.
Today, we will inshallah talk about a one third of the Noble Koran.
One third, that is quite enormous.
Well, do not worry, it is a metaphorical emphases.
It means that the Koranic passage which we are just about to explore is prized as one third of the Koran.
But why?
Why it equates a one third of the Koran.
Well, the reason for that is quite simple, logical and straightforward.
It is the passage that settles the genuine doctrine of monotheism which merits unconditional submission and obedience.
Here what it says;
“Say He is Allah the uniquely One.
Allah is Self-sustaining.
He does not beget nor He is begotten.
And noone is comparable to Him”.
Note, this is a translation which merely represent the meaning, but these verses were originally revealed in Arabic.
These four verses are believed to equate a one third of the Koran.
We previously have reflected on these verses, but I believe it is worth it to do it again, to refresh your intellects, and also because we have new recipients here.
So let us begin, and I hope that it will inshallah be useful.
The first verse clearly states that Allah is uniquely One.
What does it mean that Allah is uniquely One?
It basically signifys that His Oneness is predominantly transcendent, and so His divinity is the One and only, without stipulating a potentiality of resemblance.
That should thoroughly explain our strident repudiation to the Trinitarian doctrine.
Trinitarianism has constantly been based on semblance of temporal objects.
Whenever they intend to illustrate their Trinitarianism, they regularly liken its controversial essence to temporal objects.
You are not obliged to take my words for granted for that.
You can go ask those who believe in it, or if you are particularly a Trinitarian, I would kindly ask you to explain it to me without attempting to resemble its essence to temporal objects if that is possible.
I am emphatic that some of my Trinitarian recipients will keenly promt to clarify their theological perspective.
I would love to hear their explanation if only they can refrain from associating physical similitude of the supposedly divine being to temporal objects.
I believe it is quite difficult for Trinitarians to comply to this task.
So to summarize the commentary of the first verse, the Oneness of Allah is ultimately Unparalleled, and it is not compared to temporal objects.
Now, with the commentary of the second verse.
Allah is Self-sustaining.
What does the compound term Self-sustaining mean?
It basically means He is perfectly Self-sufficient, He is fully capable to provide for others without relying at all on third parties to either give, provide, punish or forgive.
Well however, there are prejudicial assumptions which controversially asserts that Allah has forfeited His begotten son to ransom us from justly meriting eternal retribution.
Well, if He glory be to Him is Self-sufficient, and He is truly Self-sufficient, He would have not demanded to sacrifice a lamb to redeem, He would have Generously redeemed with His unrivaled Grace and His matchless Omnipotence.
He does not beget nor He is begotten.
Well, that basically demonstrates the plain Divinity of Allah glory be to Him.
He is never to be born or to bear children, exalted be He from such blasphemy.
And noone is comparable to Him.
Such that comparison is impossible, unsuitable for comparison or lacking qualities that can be compared to His glorious entity.
He is Allah, the One and only, and nothing is to be compared to His Divine Characteristics and Attributes.
If I am to compare Allah to any of His creation, I am basically blaspheming His Gloriousness.
Why I should even commit such a majorly unforgivable sin?
I do not intend to ridicule what others chose to believe.
But at the same time, I devoted my consignment to get what is at the bottom of the ocean to the surface, so my dearly respected friends can straightly discern the truly unfeigned recognition of monotheism.
It is primally essential for everyone to comprehend the correct concept of Monotheism.
But for sure, it is not my business to compel something within or out of your heart.
My business is just to convey the message and then, it is all up to you.
That is concisely and precisely the practical implementation of giving Dawah.
If you are interested to findout more about Islamic standpoint of monotheism, please write me back with any further concerns you have, and I will felicitously answer them for you.
May Allah guide us all to the straight pathway, Amen.
Peace be with you.
