[quote]Dear Atifrafi

It is good that you are thinking and trying to understand the verses of Al-Qur’aan in a different way. While doing so, one should not have pre-concluded notion in his heart.  Else the whole essence of the message will get lost and he will be under the wrong impression that he found the truth.  Let us pray Allah for guiding us to the proper path with better understanding of His message.

Your quote:

“Brother Zeenaeem, you quoted the verse 57:27. In this verse it is written that "....So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward..." now this means that if someone can save himself from sins then he will get reward ???? I don't think so but according to your logic this verse means same. ALLAH gave reward to those who believed, means who were practicing it in a right way...... all other who didnot practiced in a right way were also believers in ALLAH.

Your question is if someone can save himself from sins then will he get reward?  The answer is yes.  It is yes because he obeys the order to save himself from sins.  It is yes because he obeys the command by Allah to do the right thing.  The Ajr-o-Thawab (Reward) Allah gives is tremendous.  You do not have to think negatively, having doubts in your mind.  In your next sentence, you said, “who did not practiced in a right way were also believers in Allah.”  Allah says he rewarded those who believed.  That means, the persons who assumed Monasticism of their own, without prescription by Allah and also not practicing the same properly are not coming under the category of believers.  Otherwise, Allah would not have said that He did not prescribe Monasticism.  It was an innovation in the Deen of Allah, which has never been acceptable to Allah.  Hence, they are not coming under the category of believers.  When a practice is invented by people of their own saying that it is from Allah that means they are lying taking Allah’s name.  In such case they are considered the most Zalimun of the people and will be punished by Allah. If Allah had accepted Monasticism, He would have told that those who practiced Monasticism were rewarded.  In that case, the Monasticism could have been taken as prescribed and accepted by Allah.  But Allah’s Sunnah has never been in support of Monasticism or Asceticism or Bachelor life.  Allah married off Adam and Eve in Paradise.  Allah will give the Hoor-Ain in marriage to the believers in Paradise.

Here there is one more thing to note.  “Those who did not practice the self-inflicted Monasticism” were committing illegal sexual acts, a capital crime.  Had these people been marrying properly, they would not have fallen under the category of the people who practiced Monasticism without prescription by Allah. And in that case, such people could have been considered as believers, who followed the instructions of Allah by duly marrying.  They would not, however, fall under the category of the people who did not follow Monasticism “properly”.

To put in a nutshell, we have seen and discussed above three categories of people :

1.  Married – Always rewarded by Allah for obeying his command and abstaining from sinning

2.  Monastic – Self imposed cruelty taking Allah’s name. (Liars and Innovators. They are to be punished)

3.  Improper Monastic – Those who indulged in illegal sexual acts.  These are the people who were sinning most by :

i.  Cheating the public, saying   that they are dedicated to God

ii.  Indulging in illegal sexual acts

iii. Lying to the public.

iv. Robbing the honor and dignity of women, stealthily

vi. Desecrating the houses of Allah (Churches)

You know, when the industrial revolution took place in the Western countries, several churches were razed to build industries.  On digging there for laying foundations, several sites of the churches had skulls and bones of small children.  They were of the bones of children born to the fathers (and nuns) of the churches and murdered and buried within the church compounds !! then, add below :

vii.  Murdering a child

viii. Burying the child without proper procedure and information to the authorities

ix    Holding the women (nuns) as hostages in the church and blackmailing them

x.    Spoiling the life of the women (nuns)

xi.   Not allowing them to get married and settled.

x.    Repetition of Adultery, without repenting.

I hope, now it is clear to you.

I will deal separately the other part of your write-up.

Peace & Un-innovated Smiles
