Dear brother, thank you for raising more questions. The verses you are talking about wherein the prophets are told to not to be of mushrikeen. They are simply about allah commoding his prophets and they obeying him ie allah tells them to be muslims and they say we are muslims. He tells them not to be of those who believe in other gods beside allah and they obey ie do not believe in other gods beside allah so where is the problem?
Let me try and explain this further. Suppose you tell me or I tell you, brother do not be of those who take idols as gods beside allah. What are we going to make of that other than what is said? The idea is to not change belief after accepting islam. This has nothing to do with calling on a prophet YAA RASOOLALLAH. THis is not worship of the prophet beside allah as another god beside allah and that is my point.
Yaa muhammad keh ke uthta hai woh apne kaam se
haye kia taskeen milti hai usse is naam se.
Allaama iqbaal
During slah the phrase AYYU HANNABIYYU will be shirk according to your definiton of shirk.
Also allah says my faithful followers are my partners=HIZBULLAH, JUNDULLAH, AOLIAA ALLAH, MINALLAH etc.
Those who believe in MINDOONILLAH they and what they worship are party of SHAITAAN.
Again the idea that shirk means all kind of partnership regarding allah is shirk of unforgiveable nature against definition of towheed is wrong.
Even allah uses same words for himself an dhis messenger or even muslims eg Allah calls himself RAOOF and RAHEEM and the same words are used for the prophet ie RAOOF and RAHEEM. So mere use of even the very same words for allah and his crearture is not shirk save word allah or god=ilaah. So again it comes back to the point that only taking anyone else as god is shirk and nothing else.
Word azeez is used by sons of prophet yaqoob for the ruler of egypt 12/78, are they mushrik?
Prophet yusuf claims to be HAFEEZ 12/55, has he become a mushrik?
Word rab is used both for god and parents in 17/23 as well as and in 12/50 prophet yusuf called azeez rab of his people.
Here is what the quran says about performing the act of sajda for other than allah. Prophet jopseph sees in dream sun, moon and stars bow down to him in sajda 12/4. He tells this to his father and he endorses the dream and stops him from telling it to his brothers 12/5. Then if we look into 12/100 this happens in reality.
So all this proves that I am interpreting the quran correctly ie acts do not mean shirk without shirkia belief or intention.
I hope this explains things a bit more for you with further clear evidences.
regards and all the best.

[FONT=&][4] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who under false pretence try to overthrow administrations or communities that work properly according to Our constitution and cannot produce even a few reliable witnesses to support their words and actions, separate them from community isolating them for good and do not accept their testimonies ever because they are rebels [/FONT]
[FONT=&][5] [/FONT][FONT=&]unless they repent thereafter and make good the loss they have caused, in that case Allah is surely graceful and merciful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][6][/FONT][FONT=&] As for individuals who accuse their own administrations or communities for not working according to divine constitution but have no witness except themselves, each one of them shall be made to swear four times under oath in the name of Allah that one’s accusation is true,[/FONT]
[FONT=&][7] [/FONT][FONT=&]and the fifth time one should be made to say that may Allah isolate one from His mercy and leave one open to suffering if one is lying.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][8][/FONT][FONT=&] The consequences will be averted from the administration if the administration personnel also swears four times under oath in the name ofAllah that the charge by the accuser is false,[/FONT]
[FONT=&][9] [/FONT][FONT=&]and the fifth time one representing administration or community should be made to say that may Allah isolate one from His mercy and leave one open to suffering if the charge against it is true.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]In case of a few separate complaints against administrations, there should be proper investigations of the matter because isolated accusations become credible evidence that something is really wrong in the administration or community as in Surah 65 al Tallaaq. [/FONT]
[FONT=&][10] [/FONT][FONT=&]If it were not for Allah’s revelation as mercy for you, you would have no method of handling these situations. Allah surely turns to people with His guidance full of wisdom.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][11] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who would concoct false accusations against others are numerous among you. Do not regard this necessarily an utterly bad thing for you rather it could prove useful for you in other ways like it keeps you alert ready to deal with dangers. Whoever takes any part in such exercises earns his share of consequences accordingly and the one who takes upon oneself the leading role faces the bigger consequences.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][12] [/FONT][FONT=&]Why is it that when those administrators or individuals and the administrations or the communities that are committed to working for peace hear such accusations against each other do not think better for each other and say, such accusations are clearly a false thing without any proving evidence?[/FONT]
[FONT=&][13] [/FONT][FONT=&]Why the accusers do not produced four witnesses? If they cannot produce the required reliable witnesses then they are liars in the light of Allah’s constitution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][14] [/FONT][FONT=&]Were it not for the revelation as mercy of Allah for you in this world and the Hereafter, you would have suffered severely the painful suffering due to your involvement in such kind of things[/FONT]
[FONT=&][15] [/FONT][FONT=&]when you pass on with your tongues and uttered with your mouths accusations about which you have no proof. You take such a serious thing so lightly while it is a very serious offence in the light of Allah’s constitution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][16] [/FONT][FONT=&]When you hear false accusations against each other why do you not say, it is not fitting for us as workers for peace to take part in such things, God forbid, it is such a destructive thing to do?[/FONT]
[FONT=&][17] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah admonishes you never to turn to such things if you are really committed to working for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][18] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah makes His revelations clear for you because Allah is All-Knowing and All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][19] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who love to broadcast such slanders among those who are committed to working for peace will end up in painful suffering in this life as well as in the Hereafter. Allah makes evident the consequences yet you do not bother to know.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][20] [/FONT][FONT=&]Were it not for the revelation as mercy of Allah for you, you could have destroyed yourselves through such things soAllah is indeed very Kind and Merciful for mankind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][21] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, follow not the goals of the one with destructive mindset and harmful attitude towards mankind because anyone who follows the goals of any such person should know that he will only influence one towards committing harmful acts against others that will bring destruction upon humanity from which Allah stops you. If there had not been the revelation as mercy of Allah for you then none of you would have ever been freed from harming and destroying others, for it is constitution of Allah for the good of mankind whereby Allah frees people from harming and destroying each other through following of His program, for Allah is All-Hearing and all knowing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][22] [/FONT][FONT=&]So let not those among you who are graced with prosperity and greater means ever decide to withhold their help from those who depend on their help, be they indigent or those who left their homes for establishing the road map of Allah for sake of better relations and mutual cooperation for bringing about a better society, do you not wish that Allah dignifies you with prosperity through mutual cooperation? For Allah is gracious and merciful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][23] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who try to take advantage of properly functioning administrations through their blind-spots and loopholes are distancing themselves from revelation of Allah therefore His grace in this life and in the Hereafter, they are bound to end up in hell of their own making unless they repent and reform.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][24] [/FONT][FONT=&]Such people should know that there comes a time when people’s own tongues and their own hands andtheir own feet expose them through results of their own actions against Our constitution, for people act on their intentions and motive thus end up exposing themselves.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][25][/FONT][FONT=&] The time is coming when Allah will make such people face the consequences they deserve then they will realise that Allah surely makes evident the truth about all affairs of human concern.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][26] [/FONT][FONT=&]Harmful and destructive administrations or communities result from harmful and destructive actions of administrators or individuals and harmful and destructive administrators or individuals are result of actions of harmful and destructive administrations or communities, and beneficial administrations or communities result as a consequence of the actions of beneficial administrators or individuals and beneficial administrators or individuals result from actions of beneficial administrations or communities, so it is clear that those who are free from intentions and motivations for harming and destroying others any allegations of corruption against them cannot prove true because their character and conduct is obvious to the community whether they benefitted others or harmed them. It is such like people for whom is dignified provision according to constitution of Allah.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][27] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, do not enter departments of administrations - other than departments under jurisdiction or responsibility of your own - without seeking permission from the appropriate authorised personnel of the department of administration assuring the administration in there that you came to carry out your business in peace having no intention of acting corruptly or causing trouble, following this procedure is better for you sothat you could prosper.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][28] [/FONT][FONT=&]If you do not find the appropriate personnel to gain access then do not enter until you find the authorised person and gain permission and even if you do find the person yet if you are requested to return at another time then come back at another time you are told. This is more fitting for you and Allah makes evident by its result all that you do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][29] [/FONT][FONT=&]There is no prohibition for you the administration to take under your control any derelict land or property that is not used by anybody to make good use of it for the good of the community and remember that Allah makes obvious all that you do in the public view and all that you do in private through result of your actions.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][30] [/FONT][FONT=&]Say to the administrators or individuals who are responsible for border security, to keep their observations appropriate to ensure the exits and entries under their responsibilities are well guarded. That is a good safety measure for them as a community against uninvited harmful elements. Surely Allah is well aware of their motives, plots and actions. [/FONT]
[31] Likewise say to the administrations or communities working with them for ensuring security including border security to keep their eyes open to ensure their border exists and entries as well as any other possible security breaches are well guarded and they should not expose to danger their confidential information that ensures their well being except what needs to be displayed of it to show alertness but they should keep under cover their confidential information and main assets and should not expose them to any other save their own authorised personnel like their own superior administrators or even their superior administrators or their subordinate administrators, or even their subordinate administrators, or their supporting administrators and their subordinate administrators, or their supporting administrations and their subordinate administrators or their communities or their subordinate administrations that work under them or their standby personnel that are not kept as backup in case of need or the personnel under training who are not yet ready to take on full responsibilities of their communities. Moreover they should not recruit foot guards such people who may give away the secret information that they are supposed to guard. So turn to Allah’s constitution all of you O you who claim to be committed to working for peace so that you may attain prosperity.
[32] Moreover get the individuals from among you both men and women who can do a lot of good to join the administration to serve the community. If they lack in anything program of Allah will help them improve themselves and be able to fulfil requirements. for administration of Allah should bring about plenty of resources, which Allah will make evident in due course.
[FONT=&][/FONT]
[FONT=&][33] [/FONT][FONT=&]And let those who do not yet qualify for entering the contract for administration to serve community due to lack of age or knowledge keep themselves working hard till Allah enables them with qualifications out of His bounty. As for those of your servants in your administrations who wish to free themselves from administrative responsibilities they should hand in their resignations appropriately and you should accept their resignations if you deem it appropriate and also give them appropriate gift out of the community wealth which Allah has given under your management. Do not force any of the communities or administrative work forces under you into poverty that they are forced to do things against divine constitution which they rather not do, for your own worldly gains against the set rules, and if any individual or community forces them into conduct against constitution then surely after such a compulsion Allah will still gracefully show them the way to free themselves from such conduct, for Allah is merciful for mankind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][34] [/FONT][FONT=&]Moreover We have already revealed to you clear goals and cited examples of those people who passed away before you to serve as a lesson for those who want to be consistent with Allah and humanity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][35][/FONT][FONT=&] The constitution of Allah is the guiding torch for all the people in the high places as well as the people sunk in to the earth. The example of His torch for peace is like that of a Niche in which there is a lamp that is enclosed in a crystal globe and the globe radiates brilliance like that of a guiding star visible for all to see from everywhere, which is fuelled by plenty of olive tree that isneither from the East nor from the West, it is all set ready to light up as soon as ignited as if to add light of knowledge to the knowledge of already knowledgeable person, thusAllah guides to His light of knowledge whoever wants to be guided. This is how Allah explains with examples Hismessage clearly for the people to make obvious to them that Allah knows about all thing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][36][/FONT][FONT=&] His constitution for peace should be installed in the houses for administrations which Allah recommends people to built for carrying out His set tasks in His name wherein people strive hard day and night,[/FONT]
[FONT=&][37] [/FONT][FONT=&]such people whom nothing should prevent from carrying out their daily tasks for their own families nor tasks for the benefit of the public according to the constitution of Allah, that is how they should establish divine order in order to achieve freedom for the community from all harms and destructions, keeping in forefront of their minds always the consequences that will ensue in time to come if they failed in carrying out their public and private duties faithfully.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][38] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah will surely reward them according to the their good works for others and add for them even more out of His grace, for Allah gives plenty to whoever wants it through his hard work.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][39] [/FONT][FONT=&]As for the opposers of Our guidance, the results for their works are like a mirage in a sandy desert, which the thirsty traveller thinks to be water but when he gets near, he finds it to be nothing, that is how he finds Allah settling his account, for Allah rewards people according to their works that if you do nothing fruitful you end up with nothing fruitful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][40] [/FONT][FONT=&]Or the example of a people living outside the light of Our constitution is that of a person in the darkness of the ocean overwhelmed with wave after wave over him like mountains- covering one like layers of utter darkness one above another so much so that if onestretches out one’s hand, one will hardly see it. Likewise the one whom Allah does not see coming to His light of guidance and use his mind to see it, will have no light.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][41] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do you not see that it is for manifestation of Allah’s sovereignty that whatever is in the heavens and in the earth strives? The very birds manifest His laws at work as they flap their wings in their flight. Each of them makes evident His order and His laws, that is how Allah makes obvious all that they do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][42] [/FONT][FONT=&]To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth therefore it is ultimately up to Allah to set their goal.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][43] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do you not see that because it up to Allah set goals for all things even the clouds move slowly according to His program to fulfil it, which thus causes them to come together then piles up in masses and so you see the rain dropping from inside them? He likewise causes hails from the clouds that look like mountains in the sky, afflicting therewith whoever makes oneself deserving it and turning it away from whoever makes not oneself deserving it. The flash of its lightning almost takes away the sight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][44] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah alternates the night and the day by rotation of the earth around itself; there is indeed a lesson in it for those who have the insight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][45] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah has originated all life forms from water and of them some creepupon their bellies and others that walk on two legs and yet others that walk on four. Allah creates what He planned, surely Allah has setup laws to operate everything.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][46] [/FONT][FONT=&]Likewise laws in universe We have revealed clear goals for mankind as well whereby Allah guides to the way of peace that is firmly founded on terms for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][47] [/FONT][FONT=&]Even though people say, we are committed to working for peace along with the messenger according to the constitution yet no sooner they utter these words that some of them turn their backs when it comes to following it through in deeds. That is how they show they are not committed to working for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][48] [/FONT][FONT=&]When such people are summoned according to constitution of Allah by court of His Messenger that he may resolve any disputes between them according to divine constitution, behold! A party of them declines to come unless arrested and brought before the court.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][49] [/FONT][FONT=&]However if they are sure that legal right is on their side then they come to him voluntarily.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][50] [/FONT][FONT=&]Is there a legitimate concern in their minds or are they worried Allah and His Messenger will deny them justice? Nay! In fact they are the ones who are the transgressors.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][51] [/FONT][FONT=&]The response of those who are truly committed to working for peace when they are summoned according to Allah’s constitution by His messenger so that he may judge between them should be to say, we hear and we obey. Such are the ones who will attain and maintain prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][52][/FONT][FONT=&] It is because only those who are consistent with program of Allah along with His messenger are mindful of Allah for the good of others, that is why they are bound to succeed and prosper.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][53] [/FONT][FONT=&]Some swear by Allah that if you command them, they will go forth leavingtheir homes. Say, you do not need to swear to assure me, your consistency to your commitment will count only by doing not your empty word under oaths, rest assured Allah will make evident for all to see all that you will do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][54] [/FONT][FONT=&]Say, be consistent with program of Allah by being consistent with the messenger but even If you do not, the messenger is still under obligation to fulfil his duty, as you are under obligation to fulfil yours so if you do what his assignment is for you then you have followed the right course of actions. The mission of the messenger is only to deliver the message clearly.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][55] [/FONT][FONT=&]But it is Allah who has promised those of you who have committed to working for peace by way of removing the obstacles in the way of peace to pave the way for peace that He will surely make them inherent the land as a community for the good of humanity as He made their ancestors inherit the land before them through their hard work and that He will establish for them their progressive and prosperous way of peaceful life, the one which He has advised them to create for themselves, that is how He will change their present state of fear into peace and security. So let them therefore serve My constitution alone and take no other sovereign beside Me. Moreover if any individual or community opposes My constitution henceforth then it that person or community shall be treated as rebel and transgressor.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][56] [/FONT][FONT=&]So establish divine constitution to attain freedom from all harm as a community thus be consistent with the messenger so that you could be shown progress and prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][57] [/FONT][FONT=&]Never think that those who oppose Our constitution can totally derail Our program in the land, for their end is assured painful suffering unless they repent and reform, and that is a terrible state of existence to be in.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][58] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, let the people who wish to serve you as your new administration as well as those who have not yet completed their term seek your consent before leaving and commencing their work on three occasions, before the start of new term, in middle of the term for whatever reasons and when the contract expires at the end of the term. These are the three times when you the community are most vulnerable so take extra care. At other times there should be no obstacle for you when you the public and they the administration go around seeing one another for business as usual. Thus Allah makes Hisguidelines clear for you, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][59] [/FONT][FONT=&]And when your administrations reach their end of term let them still ask your permission as their predecessor did to continue or leave the office. Thus Allah makes His guidelines clear for you, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][60] [/FONT][FONT=&]There is no obstacle in the way of such administrations that have no interest in renewing their contract for another term, if they lay aside their cloaks of responsibility without exposing the valuable confidential information, for it is better for them if they refrain from doing so and Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][61] [/FONT][FONT=&]There should be left no obstacles in the way of a person lacking in knowledge nor in the way of a person lacking experience or in the way a person physically incapacitated preventing one from participation in your community or administration. Nor should there be any problem for you to participate in your directly related ancestral organisations or directly related main organisations or closely related groups or closely related parties, or your indirectly related ancestral groups, or your indirectly related ancestral parties, or your closely related remote groups, or your closely related remote parties, or your sincere friendly organisations, or any other administration or community or party which is open for you. There is no obstacle in your way whether you participate as individuals or as communities, groups, parties or organisations but that when you enter into any task with others, you should assure each other that you are working to ensure their peace and prosperity. Thus Allah makes His goals clear to you, so that you may grow in understanding and community.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][62] [/FONT][FONT=&]Surely the truly committed to working for peace are those who commit to working for peace for Allah along His messenger and who when they are gathered around him concerning any matter requiring collective action do not depart until they have been given his permission or unless they seek his permission - only those who ask your permission are the ones truly committed to working for peace for mission of Allah along His messenger - so when any of them asks your permission to leave and attend to theirs private business, you may give permission to those of them whom you deem appropriate but keep working on program of Allah seeking their progress and prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][63] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do not treat such summoning of the messenger in the same way as you consider the calling of each other among yourselves. Allah knows those of you who slip away hiding themselves behind others. Let those who disregard his such summonings beware that if they do not come to realise their importance for the society the society could end up in troubles.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][64] [/FONT][FONT=&]Be aware! Whatever is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. He makes evident by their results all your thoughts and actions. So the time is coming when those living outside constitution of Allah will be brought by each others to live by His constitution alone and that is how He will show them all that they would have done. That is how Allah will make evident that He knows everything.[/FONT]

Dear your above post is yet another repetition of so many others. There is nothing new in it. What you wish to
convey is:
a) Once a person professes to be Muslim, then he cannot be a Mushrik;
b) All verses in Quran about shirk are related to "THAT TIME OF MUSHRAYKEEN AND KAFREEN", AND not
for those who became Muslims, or for the latter generations who claim to be muslims.
What I am explaining to you is that:
i) Irrespective of professing to be muslim, if a person does anything which come into the ambit
of Shirk, he is Mushrik. and Quran's verse is explaining that " Majority of People while believing in Allah
also commit Shirk" or "THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ALLAH EXCEPT THAT THEY ARE ALSO MUSHRIK",
ii) Just wonder, why in repeated places, our Prophet(PBUH) was exhorted that "do not be among the
Mushraykeen". He in two places or so categorically made clear that "I am not among the Mushraykeen".
He was a Prophet(PBUH), direct link of Vahee, so then what was the need to make sure?????
iii) While describing the stories of Prophets, Allah(SWT) says that "If they had also committed Shirk,
all their deeds would have been vanished""", So what you say, they were Prophets.
iii) Where it was needed, Allah clearly demarcated those verses of Shrik with word of "Illah". when
people used to take them as "Illah".
The difference which is fundamental between your and mine approach is that you are not
willing to accept that "a person while believing in Allah, can commit also shirk", whereas I hold this
view.
Dear brother, thank you for raising more questions. The verses you are talking about wherein the prophets are told to not to be of mushrikeen. They are simply about allah commoding his prophets and they obeying him ie allah tells them to be muslims and they say we are muslims. He tells them not to be of those who believe in other gods beside allah and they obey ie do not believe in other gods beside allah so where is the problem?
Let me try and explain this further. Suppose you tell me or I tell you, brother do not be of those who take idols as gods beside allah. What are we going to make of that other than what is said? The idea is to not change belief after accepting islam. This has nothing to do with calling on a prophet YAA RASOOLALLAH. THis is not worship of the prophet beside allah as another god beside allah and that is my point.
Yaa muhammad keh ke uthta hai woh apne kaam se

Word azeez is used by sons of prophet yaqoob for the ruler of egypt 12/78, are they mushrik?
Prophet yusuf claims to be HAFEEZ 12/55, has he become a mushrik?
Word rab is used both for god and parents in 17/23 as well as and in 12/50 prophet yusuf called azeez rab of his people.
Here is what the quran says about performing the act of sajda for other than allah. Prophet jopseph sees in dream sun, moon and stars bow down to him in sajda 12/4. He tells this to his father and he endorses the dream and stops him from telling it to his brothers 12/5. Then if we look into 12/100 this happens in reality.
So all this proves that I am interpreting the quran correctly ie acts do not mean shirk without shirkia belief or intention.
I hope this explains things a bit more for you with further clear evidences.

[FONT=&][12] [/FONT][FONT=&]Why is it that when those administrators or individuals and the administrations or the communities that are committed to working for peace hear such accusations against each other do not think better for each other and say, such accusations are clearly a false thing without any proving evidence?[/FONT]
[FONT=&][13] [/FONT][FONT=&]Why the accusers do not produced four witnesses? If they cannot produce the required reliable witnesses then they are liars in the light of Allah’s constitution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][14] [/FONT][FONT=&]Were it not for the revelation as mercy of Allah for you in this world and the Hereafter, you would have suffered severely the painful suffering due to your involvement in such kind of things[/FONT]
[FONT=&][15] [/FONT][FONT=&]when you pass on with your tongues and uttered with your mouths accusations about which you have no proof. You take such a serious thing so lightly while it is a very serious offence in the light of Allah’s constitution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][16] [/FONT][FONT=&]When you hear false accusations against each other why do you not say, it is not fitting for us as workers for peace to take part in such things, God forbid, it is such a destructive thing to do?[/FONT]
[FONT=&][17] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah admonishes you never to turn to such things if you are really committed to working for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][18] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah makes His revelations clear for you because Allah is All-Knowing and All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][19] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who love to broadcast such slanders among those who are committed to working for peace will end up in painful suffering in this life as well as in the Hereafter. Allah makes evident the consequences yet you do not bother to know.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][20] [/FONT][FONT=&]Were it not for the revelation as mercy of Allah for you, you could have destroyed yourselves through such things soAllah is indeed very Kind and Merciful for mankind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][21] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, follow not the goals of the one with destructive mindset and harmful attitude towards mankind because anyone who follows the goals of any such person should know that he will only influence one towards committing harmful acts against others that will bring destruction upon humanity from which Allah stops you. If there had not been the revelation as mercy of Allah for you then none of you would have ever been freed from harming and destroying others, for it is constitution of Allah for the good of mankind whereby Allah frees people from harming and destroying each other through following of His program, for Allah is All-Hearing and all knowing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][22] [/FONT][FONT=&]So let not those among you who are graced with prosperity and greater means ever decide to withhold their help from those who depend on their help, be they indigent or those who left their homes for establishing the road map of Allah for sake of better relations and mutual cooperation for bringing about a better society, do you not wish that Allah dignifies you with prosperity through mutual cooperation? For Allah is gracious and merciful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][23] [/FONT][FONT=&]Those who try to take advantage of properly functioning administrations through their blind-spots and loopholes are distancing themselves from revelation of Allah therefore His grace in this life and in the Hereafter, they are bound to end up in hell of their own making unless they repent and reform.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][24] [/FONT][FONT=&]Such people should know that there comes a time when people’s own tongues and their own hands andtheir own feet expose them through results of their own actions against Our constitution, for people act on their intentions and motive thus end up exposing themselves.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][25][/FONT][FONT=&] The time is coming when Allah will make such people face the consequences they deserve then they will realise that Allah surely makes evident the truth about all affairs of human concern.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][26] [/FONT][FONT=&]Harmful and destructive administrations or communities result from harmful and destructive actions of administrators or individuals and harmful and destructive administrators or individuals are result of actions of harmful and destructive administrations or communities, and beneficial administrations or communities result as a consequence of the actions of beneficial administrators or individuals and beneficial administrators or individuals result from actions of beneficial administrations or communities, so it is clear that those who are free from intentions and motivations for harming and destroying others any allegations of corruption against them cannot prove true because their character and conduct is obvious to the community whether they benefitted others or harmed them. It is such like people for whom is dignified provision according to constitution of Allah.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][27] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, do not enter departments of administrations - other than departments under jurisdiction or responsibility of your own - without seeking permission from the appropriate authorised personnel of the department of administration assuring the administration in there that you came to carry out your business in peace having no intention of acting corruptly or causing trouble, following this procedure is better for you sothat you could prosper.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][28] [/FONT][FONT=&]If you do not find the appropriate personnel to gain access then do not enter until you find the authorised person and gain permission and even if you do find the person yet if you are requested to return at another time then come back at another time you are told. This is more fitting for you and Allah makes evident by its result all that you do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][29] [/FONT][FONT=&]There is no prohibition for you the administration to take under your control any derelict land or property that is not used by anybody to make good use of it for the good of the community and remember that Allah makes obvious all that you do in the public view and all that you do in private through result of your actions.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][30] [/FONT][FONT=&]Say to the administrators or individuals who are responsible for border security, to keep their observations appropriate to ensure the exits and entries under their responsibilities are well guarded. That is a good safety measure for them as a community against uninvited harmful elements. Surely Allah is well aware of their motives, plots and actions. [/FONT]
[31] Likewise say to the administrations or communities working with them for ensuring security including border security to keep their eyes open to ensure their border exists and entries as well as any other possible security breaches are well guarded and they should not expose to danger their confidential information that ensures their well being except what needs to be displayed of it to show alertness but they should keep under cover their confidential information and main assets and should not expose them to any other save their own authorised personnel like their own superior administrators or even their superior administrators or their subordinate administrators, or even their subordinate administrators, or their supporting administrators and their subordinate administrators, or their supporting administrations and their subordinate administrators or their communities or their subordinate administrations that work under them or their standby personnel that are not kept as backup in case of need or the personnel under training who are not yet ready to take on full responsibilities of their communities. Moreover they should not recruit foot guards such people who may give away the secret information that they are supposed to guard. So turn to Allah’s constitution all of you O you who claim to be committed to working for peace so that you may attain prosperity.
[32] Moreover get the individuals from among you both men and women who can do a lot of good to join the administration to serve the community. If they lack in anything program of Allah will help them improve themselves and be able to fulfil requirements. for administration of Allah should bring about plenty of resources, which Allah will make evident in due course.
[FONT=&][/FONT]
[FONT=&][33] [/FONT][FONT=&]And let those who do not yet qualify for entering the contract for administration to serve community due to lack of age or knowledge keep themselves working hard till Allah enables them with qualifications out of His bounty. As for those of your servants in your administrations who wish to free themselves from administrative responsibilities they should hand in their resignations appropriately and you should accept their resignations if you deem it appropriate and also give them appropriate gift out of the community wealth which Allah has given under your management. Do not force any of the communities or administrative work forces under you into poverty that they are forced to do things against divine constitution which they rather not do, for your own worldly gains against the set rules, and if any individual or community forces them into conduct against constitution then surely after such a compulsion Allah will still gracefully show them the way to free themselves from such conduct, for Allah is merciful for mankind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][34] [/FONT][FONT=&]Moreover We have already revealed to you clear goals and cited examples of those people who passed away before you to serve as a lesson for those who want to be consistent with Allah and humanity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][35][/FONT][FONT=&] The constitution of Allah is the guiding torch for all the people in the high places as well as the people sunk in to the earth. The example of His torch for peace is like that of a Niche in which there is a lamp that is enclosed in a crystal globe and the globe radiates brilliance like that of a guiding star visible for all to see from everywhere, which is fuelled by plenty of olive tree that isneither from the East nor from the West, it is all set ready to light up as soon as ignited as if to add light of knowledge to the knowledge of already knowledgeable person, thusAllah guides to His light of knowledge whoever wants to be guided. This is how Allah explains with examples Hismessage clearly for the people to make obvious to them that Allah knows about all thing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][36][/FONT][FONT=&] His constitution for peace should be installed in the houses for administrations which Allah recommends people to built for carrying out His set tasks in His name wherein people strive hard day and night,[/FONT]
[FONT=&][37] [/FONT][FONT=&]such people whom nothing should prevent from carrying out their daily tasks for their own families nor tasks for the benefit of the public according to the constitution of Allah, that is how they should establish divine order in order to achieve freedom for the community from all harms and destructions, keeping in forefront of their minds always the consequences that will ensue in time to come if they failed in carrying out their public and private duties faithfully.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][38] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah will surely reward them according to the their good works for others and add for them even more out of His grace, for Allah gives plenty to whoever wants it through his hard work.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][39] [/FONT][FONT=&]As for the opposers of Our guidance, the results for their works are like a mirage in a sandy desert, which the thirsty traveller thinks to be water but when he gets near, he finds it to be nothing, that is how he finds Allah settling his account, for Allah rewards people according to their works that if you do nothing fruitful you end up with nothing fruitful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][40] [/FONT][FONT=&]Or the example of a people living outside the light of Our constitution is that of a person in the darkness of the ocean overwhelmed with wave after wave over him like mountains- covering one like layers of utter darkness one above another so much so that if onestretches out one’s hand, one will hardly see it. Likewise the one whom Allah does not see coming to His light of guidance and use his mind to see it, will have no light.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][41] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do you not see that it is for manifestation of Allah’s sovereignty that whatever is in the heavens and in the earth strives? The very birds manifest His laws at work as they flap their wings in their flight. Each of them makes evident His order and His laws, that is how Allah makes obvious all that they do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][42] [/FONT][FONT=&]To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth therefore it is ultimately up to Allah to set their goal.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][43] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do you not see that because it up to Allah set goals for all things even the clouds move slowly according to His program to fulfil it, which thus causes them to come together then piles up in masses and so you see the rain dropping from inside them? He likewise causes hails from the clouds that look like mountains in the sky, afflicting therewith whoever makes oneself deserving it and turning it away from whoever makes not oneself deserving it. The flash of its lightning almost takes away the sight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][44] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah alternates the night and the day by rotation of the earth around itself; there is indeed a lesson in it for those who have the insight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][45] [/FONT][FONT=&]Allah has originated all life forms from water and of them some creepupon their bellies and others that walk on two legs and yet others that walk on four. Allah creates what He planned, surely Allah has setup laws to operate everything.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][46] [/FONT][FONT=&]Likewise laws in universe We have revealed clear goals for mankind as well whereby Allah guides to the way of peace that is firmly founded on terms for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][47] [/FONT][FONT=&]Even though people say, we are committed to working for peace along with the messenger according to the constitution yet no sooner they utter these words that some of them turn their backs when it comes to following it through in deeds. That is how they show they are not committed to working for peace.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][48] [/FONT][FONT=&]When such people are summoned according to constitution of Allah by court of His Messenger that he may resolve any disputes between them according to divine constitution, behold! A party of them declines to come unless arrested and brought before the court.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][49] [/FONT][FONT=&]However if they are sure that legal right is on their side then they come to him voluntarily.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][50] [/FONT][FONT=&]Is there a legitimate concern in their minds or are they worried Allah and His Messenger will deny them justice? Nay! In fact they are the ones who are the transgressors.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][51] [/FONT][FONT=&]The response of those who are truly committed to working for peace when they are summoned according to Allah’s constitution by His messenger so that he may judge between them should be to say, we hear and we obey. Such are the ones who will attain and maintain prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][52][/FONT][FONT=&] It is because only those who are consistent with program of Allah along with His messenger are mindful of Allah for the good of others, that is why they are bound to succeed and prosper.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][53] [/FONT][FONT=&]Some swear by Allah that if you command them, they will go forth leavingtheir homes. Say, you do not need to swear to assure me, your consistency to your commitment will count only by doing not your empty word under oaths, rest assured Allah will make evident for all to see all that you will do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][54] [/FONT][FONT=&]Say, be consistent with program of Allah by being consistent with the messenger but even If you do not, the messenger is still under obligation to fulfil his duty, as you are under obligation to fulfil yours so if you do what his assignment is for you then you have followed the right course of actions. The mission of the messenger is only to deliver the message clearly.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][55] [/FONT][FONT=&]But it is Allah who has promised those of you who have committed to working for peace by way of removing the obstacles in the way of peace to pave the way for peace that He will surely make them inherent the land as a community for the good of humanity as He made their ancestors inherit the land before them through their hard work and that He will establish for them their progressive and prosperous way of peaceful life, the one which He has advised them to create for themselves, that is how He will change their present state of fear into peace and security. So let them therefore serve My constitution alone and take no other sovereign beside Me. Moreover if any individual or community opposes My constitution henceforth then it that person or community shall be treated as rebel and transgressor.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][56] [/FONT][FONT=&]So establish divine constitution to attain freedom from all harm as a community thus be consistent with the messenger so that you could be shown progress and prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][57] [/FONT][FONT=&]Never think that those who oppose Our constitution can totally derail Our program in the land, for their end is assured painful suffering unless they repent and reform, and that is a terrible state of existence to be in.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][58] [/FONT][FONT=&]O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, let the people who wish to serve you as your new administration as well as those who have not yet completed their term seek your consent before leaving and commencing their work on three occasions, before the start of new term, in middle of the term for whatever reasons and when the contract expires at the end of the term. These are the three times when you the community are most vulnerable so take extra care. At other times there should be no obstacle for you when you the public and they the administration go around seeing one another for business as usual. Thus Allah makes Hisguidelines clear for you, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][59] [/FONT][FONT=&]And when your administrations reach their end of term let them still ask your permission as their predecessor did to continue or leave the office. Thus Allah makes His guidelines clear for you, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][60] [/FONT][FONT=&]There is no obstacle in the way of such administrations that have no interest in renewing their contract for another term, if they lay aside their cloaks of responsibility without exposing the valuable confidential information, for it is better for them if they refrain from doing so and Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][61] [/FONT][FONT=&]There should be left no obstacles in the way of a person lacking in knowledge nor in the way of a person lacking experience or in the way a person physically incapacitated preventing one from participation in your community or administration. Nor should there be any problem for you to participate in your directly related ancestral organisations or directly related main organisations or closely related groups or closely related parties, or your indirectly related ancestral groups, or your indirectly related ancestral parties, or your closely related remote groups, or your closely related remote parties, or your sincere friendly organisations, or any other administration or community or party which is open for you. There is no obstacle in your way whether you participate as individuals or as communities, groups, parties or organisations but that when you enter into any task with others, you should assure each other that you are working to ensure their peace and prosperity. Thus Allah makes His goals clear to you, so that you may grow in understanding and community.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][62] [/FONT][FONT=&]Surely the truly committed to working for peace are those who commit to working for peace for Allah along His messenger and who when they are gathered around him concerning any matter requiring collective action do not depart until they have been given his permission or unless they seek his permission - only those who ask your permission are the ones truly committed to working for peace for mission of Allah along His messenger - so when any of them asks your permission to leave and attend to theirs private business, you may give permission to those of them whom you deem appropriate but keep working on program of Allah seeking their progress and prosperity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][63] [/FONT][FONT=&]Do not treat such summoning of the messenger in the same way as you consider the calling of each other among yourselves. Allah knows those of you who slip away hiding themselves behind others. Let those who disregard his such summonings beware that if they do not come to realise their importance for the society the society could end up in troubles.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][64] [/FONT][FONT=&]Be aware! Whatever is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. He makes evident by their results all your thoughts and actions. So the time is coming when those living outside constitution of Allah will be brought by each others to live by His constitution alone and that is how He will show them all that they would have done. That is how Allah will make evident that He knows everything.[/FONT]
