Inclusive meaning

This word when translated in English must to have surrender,


submission (come to terms and agree (to submit yourself to something, some laws and
commandments and orders)
Obey to all the things you agreed
And all of gthess needs to be done in sincerity (Can you force someone to be sincere?)
It has to come from your heart comes to term with, all of it is your choice all along and
finally peace – The kind of peace that I am going to be in peace, I will be in peace after
obeying submitting and obedience to attain the peace…

Strange are the affairs of the believers,

“He did not created us except to worship him”


They have some devotion for something…
Position in life, Maybe they want to be rich, maybe they want a big house
Devotion to something is worship
What consumes your mind
It can be a sports, it can be something that you devote to something is worship

Human beings are created to put their devotion to something! And all of us do
Everyone is going to die
The big score board is out, the good deeds vs the bad deeds
And correct believe vs the incorrect belief

How do we treat other people?


What Islam teaches is no different from what the old and new testament
Don’t make other God in partners of worship
Book of mark Book of Isiah
You need to love Him with all your heart, all your mind and all your strength
That is your treatment with your lord
After that whats next?
A man came to him, after God and his messenger
Who else has the most right upon me?
Your mother (At a time where woman have no right, around the word, the catholic church
had a council meeting discussing whether woman has a soul.)
Woman’s were treated as commodity.
Your mother
Your mother
And then your father

Parents is very important to us


Carrying our parents in Tawaf for 7 times, not even a single birth pain is repaied…
Story of the boulder rocks that stopped the entrance…
For every monotheistic faith – after the rights of God is the rights of your parebts
Honor your parents even before killing
As horrible with killing a person (as though you have killed entire nation) (How its
mentioned in the Bible is also how it’s been mentioned in the Qur’an)
A lot of similarity – in the real teachings but not the ones who follow it

Your own body has rights


The people with us -Wife’s, Children, Our family members (Regardless of their faith)
Your money, your time, your patience, helping them
Your neighbor – You are not a believer to fill your stomach with your neighbor sleeping
hungry (with no concern for your neighbor)
Who’re our neighbors – 40 houses from where we live.

Rights of your enemy – We are not allowed to kill them if they come to us running with
weapons but decided to put down their weapon
