Prayers and practices of many are show off and mockery

Many of us who believe and practice religion expecting that they will be in better place upon their return to God. But it is unfortunate that they never think to verify whether their beliefs and practices are perfect to make it happen. They go with the majority blindly following their scholars, even their forefathers despite of warning in the Quran, while God has confirmed in the Quran that those who have believed and have followed what has been sent down to them from their Lord and have done the righteous deeds are the successful ones.

  • The believers are those who fear God and when His revelations are recited to them increase their faith, and when they are called to God and His messenger to judge between themselves, they say they have heard and have obeyed, and they follow what has been sent down to them and remember their Lord being sincere to Him based on what is in a sent down using their intelligence:

[8:2] The believers are only those – when has been mentioned God has feared their hearts, and when has been recited His revelations to them has increased them in faith, and upon their Lord they put trust.

[7:3] You (believers) shall follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and you (believers) do not follow any protectors other than Him. Little is what you (believers) reflect.

[24:51] It has only been saying of the believers when they have been called to God and His messenger to judge between themselves that they say, “We have heard and we have obeyed.” And those – they are the successful ones.

[21:10] Certainly, we have sent down to you a scripture, in it is your remembrance. Will you not then use intelligence?

[39:2] Indeed, we have sent down to you (Muhammad) the scripture with the truth that you shall worship God being sincere to Him in the religion.

  • God has sent down the Quran as guidance for the people with the clear proofs, and the statue book with laws and limits, and a warner, and a clear light to follow it not following desires of anyone making it a basis to judge the truth between themselves to be to a straight path, which is a system of God from the past:

[2:185] Ramadan which is a month has been sent down in it the Quran as guidance for mankind and clear proofs of the guidance and the statute book. So, whoever has witnessed the month from you, then he should fast in it and whoever has been sick or on a journey, then a specified number from other days. God does intend the ease for you and He does not intend the hardship for you, and that you may complete the specified number, and that you may glorify God through which He has guided you, and that you may appreciate.

[25:1] Blessed is the One who has sent down the statute book to His servant (Muhammad) that it/he can serve as a warner for the people of the world.

[4:174] O mankind, there has come a proof to you from your Lord, and we have sent down to you a clear light.

[45:18] Then we have placed you (Muhammad) on a law of the matter, so you shall follow it, and not following desires of those who do not know.

[2:113] The Jews said, “It has not been the Christians are on anything,” while the Christians said, “It has not been the Jews are on anything,” even though they recite the scripture. Like that said those who do not know similar to their saying. So, God will judge between themselves on a Day of the Resurrection in what they have done to differ in it.

[2:213] Mankind had been a single community as God has raised up (from them) the prophets as bearers of good news and warners and has sent down with them the scripture with the truth to judge between the people in what they had differed in it. And none had differed in it except those who had been given it after what had come to them the clear proofs out of jealousy between themselves. Then God has guided those who have believed that which they had differed in it of the truth with His permission. And God guides whoever He wills to a straight path.

  • God has given a detailed scripture, a sent down from Him, which is His word has completed truth and justice and there is no modifier of His words, and a scripture of the best hadith being consistent to each other to guide whomever He wills:

[6:114] Is there then other than God should I seek as judge, while He is the One who has sent down to you the scripture is a detailed one? And those whom we have given them the scripture know that it is a sent down from your Lord with the truth. So, do not be with the doubtful ones.

[6:115] And your Lord’s word has completed truth and justice. There is no modifier of His words, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.

[39:23] God has sent down a scripture of the best Hadith being consistent to each other. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (Quran), then their skins and their hearts soften up to God’s message. That is God’s guidance; He guides with it (Quran) whomever He wills, and whomever God lets go astray, then there is no guide for him.

  • God has sent down the Quran to Muhammad being the final edition of His scripture as a witness, a bearer of good news, a warner, a caller to God and an illuminating light to give a good news to the believers that there is a great blessing for them from Him confirming and consolidating the previous scripture:

[33:40] Muhammad has not been a father of anyone of your men, but has been a messenger of God and a seal of the prophets. And God has done as Knower of everything.

[33:45] O you prophet; indeed, we have sent you a witness, and a bearer of good news, and a warner, [33:46] and a caller to God by His permission, and an illuminating light.

[33:47] And you shall give the believers good news of that there is a great blessing for them from God.

[3:3] He has sent down to you (Muhammad) the scripture (Quran) with the truth, confirming that which was before of it; and He has sent down the Torah and the Gospel.

[5:48] And we have sent down to you (Muhammad) the scripture (Quran) with the truth, confirming that which was before of it of the scripture, and consolidating of it. So you shall judge between themselves of what God has sent down, and not following their wishes when has come to you of the truth. For each we have made law and rite; and if God had willed, He would have surely made you one community; but to test you in what He has given you. So you shall race for the good. To God is your return for all, then He will inform you of what you have done to differ.

  • God has sent down the scripture with the truth as guidance and a good news for the Muslims to strengthen those who have believed and to judge between themselves and to guide to the truth and to a straight path:

[4:105] Indeed, we have sent down to you (Muhammad) the scripture with the truth so that you can judge between the people with what God shows you, and there would not be an advocacy for the betrayers.

[5:83] And when they have heard what has been sent down to the messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears for what they have recognized of the truth, and they say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so record us with the witnesses.

[13:1] Alif. Laam. Meem. Reh. That is of signs (Quranic initials) of the scripture. And that which has been sent down to you (Muhammad) is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe.

[16:102] Say, “The Holy Spirit has brought down it from your Lord with the truth that it can strengthen those who have believed, and a guidance and good news for the submitters.”

[17:105] And with the truth we have sent down it and with the truth it has descended; and we have not sent you (Muhammad) except a bearer of good news and a warner.

[46:30] They (Jinns) said, “O our people; indeed, we have heard a scripture has been revealed after Moses, confirming that which was before of it to guide to the truth and to a straight path.

  • God has sent down the scripture with the wisdom to the messenger to recite it to the people as well as to purify him and the people who do not know to avoid idol worshiping making god with God, while idol worshiping is an unforgiveable sin as a horrendous sin unless turning to God being reformed with true repentance in the lifetime:

[2:151] Like that we have sent in you messenger from you to recite our revelations to you, and to purify you, and to teach you the scripture and the wisdom, and to teach you what you would not know.

[4:113] And if it had not been God’s grace upon you (Muhammad) and His mercy, surely, a group of them would have resolved to mislead you, while they do not mislead except themselves and they cannot harm you in anything. And God has sent down to you the scripture and the wisdom, and has taught you what you do not know. And God’s grace upon you has been great.

[17:39] That is of what your (Muhammad) Lord has revealed to you of the wisdom. And do not make other god with God, lest you would be cast into Hell, being blameworthy, abandoned.

[62:2] He is the One who has raised a messenger (Muhammad) in the gentiles from themselves to recite His revelations to them, and to purify them, and to teach them the scripture and the wisdom, even though they have been before surely in clear astray.

[4:48] Indeed, God does not forgive if partner is associated with Him, while He forgives whatever other than that for whomever He wills. And whoever associates partners with God, then certainly, he has fabricated a horrendous sin.

[4:116] Indeed, God does not forgive if a partner is associated with Him, while He forgives whatever other than that for whomever He wills. And whoever associates partner with God, then he has certainly strayed far astray.

[25:70] Except whoever has repented, and has believed, and has done deeds as righteous, then for those God will replace their evil deeds with good, and God has been Forgiving, Merciful.

[25:71] And whoever has repented and has done as a righteous, then he turns to God with true repentance.

  • God has sent down the scripture and the balance to establish justice as well as to maintain justice even if it is against themselves or their parents or relatives, and those who will fail to do that, they have to suffer a painful punishment, and He will set up the scales of the justice on a day of the Resurrection to give everyone an exact recompense:

[42:17] God is the One who has sent down the scripture with the truth and the balance, and what make you know that the Hour is near.

[57:25] Certainly, we have sent our messengers with the clear proofs, and we have sent down with them the scripture and the balance that it may establish the people with the justice, while we have sent down the iron, wherein there are substantial strength and benefits for the people so that God may make evident whoever helps Him in the unseen and His messengers. Indeed, God is Powerful, Almighty.

[4:135] O you who have believed, you shall be custodians of the justice being witnesses of God, even if against yourselves, or the parents and the relatives. If he be rich or poor as God is nearer to both of them. So, you do not follow the desire that you deviate. And if you distort or refrain, then indeed, God has been Cognizant of what you do.

[5:8] O you who have believed, you shall be steadfast for God as witnesses in the justice, and let not prevent you hatred of a people upon (you) that you do not do justice. You shall be just, it is nearer for the righteousness. You shall fear God; indeed, God is Cognizant of what you do.

[7:29] Say, “My Lord has commanded with the justice, while you shall stand yourselves at every masjid and shall call Him, being sincere to Him in the religion; as He has initiated you to return.”

[10:4] To Him is all of your return. God’s promise is truth. Indeed, He originates the creation, then He repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds with the justice, while those who have disbelieved, for them is a drink of boiling fluids and a painful punishment for what they have done to disbelieve.

[10:54] And if that for every soul who had wronged, whatever is in the earth, surely it would have sought to ransom with it, and they would have confided the regret when they have seen the punishment. And they have been judged between themselves with the justice, and they will not be wronged.

[21:47] And we will set up the scales of the justice on a day of the Resurrection. So no soul will be wronged in anything. Even if there has been weight of a mustard seed, we will bring of it. And it has sufficed of us as reckoners.

  • The disbelievers are those who have disbelieved in God and have denied in what He sent down to them, while God has cited an example with the people of the past to be a lesson for the people of the subsequent generations that when the truth and the clear proofs have come to them from Him they have denied it with an excuse that they follow what they have found with their forefathers without realizing their consequence being it a call from the Satan to a punishment of the Blazing fire:

[4:61] And when it has been said to them, “You shall come to what God has sent down and to the messenger,” you have seen the hypocrites to turn away from you (Muhammad) in aversion.

[4:140] And certainly, He has sent down to you in the scripture that when you have heard God’s revelations to disbelieve in them and are ridiculed with them, then do not sit with them until they engage in discussion other than of it. Indeed, you then be like of them. Indeed, God will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers all together in Hell.

[12:106] And most of them do not believe in God except while they are the idolaters.

[16:83] They recognize God’s favor, then they deny it, and most of them are the disbelievers.

[2:170] When it has been said to them, “You shall follow what God has sent down,” they said, “Nay, we follow what we have found our forefathers on it.” What if their forefathers had not been to understand anything and they were not guided?

[5:104] And when it has been said to them, “Come to what God has sent and to the messenger,” they said, “It is sufficient for us what we have found our forefathers upon it.” What about if their forefathers had been not to know anything and they were not guided?

[31:21] And when it has been said to them, “You shall follow what God has sent down,” they said, “Nay, we follow what we have found our forefathers on it.” And if had it been the Satan to call them to a punishment of the Blazing fire?

  • God will punish those who have disbelieved and have disobeyed the messenger, and those who have committed evil deeds and have been arrogant a painful punishment, and they cannot hide from Him, nor will they find for them any protector or helper:

[4:42] That day, will wish those who have disbelieved and have disobeyed the messenger if the earth were leveled with them, while they cannot hide any statement from God.

[4:173] Then as for those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds, then He will give them in full their reward, and will increase for them from His bounty. And as for those who have disdained and have turned arrogant, then He will punish them a painful punishment, and they will not find for them any protector other than God, nor any helper.

[45:21] Have those who have committed the evil deeds thought that we will make them like those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds equal their life and their death? It has been evil what they judge.

  • God has confirmed that the majority in the earth follow the conjecture to mislead them from God’s path, while the conjecture being substitute of the truth cannot help anyone, and He has commanded the believers not to follow those who follow the conjecture, while He has warned them that He has permitted devils from the human and the jinn to inspire each other fancy word and the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter incline to it to please them to commit evil:

[6:116] And if you obey a majority whoever is in the earth, they will mislead you from God’s path; they do not follow except the conjecture, nor do they do except guess.

[10:36] And most of them does not follow except conjecture; indeed, the conjecture does not help anything against the truth. Indeed, God is Knower of what they do.

[6:112] And thus that we have made an enemy for every prophet, devils from the human and the jinn to inspire of them to other the fancy word in deception; and if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it. So, you all shall disregard them and what they invent

[6:113] And that inclines to it hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter, and that they please with it, and that they commit what they are committing.

  • God has given us a scripture with an exact number of unchangeable words that has completed truth and justice, and that we need to remember Him as well as to obey His each and every command and law:

[18:109] Say, “If the ocean had been ink for my Lord’s words, surely, the ocean would have run out before that my Lord’s words would run out, even if we had brought with like of it as (ink) supplement.”
[31:27] And if that whatever in the earth of trees were pens, and the ocean adding to it after of it were seven oceans (of ink), God’s words would not have run out. Indeed, God is Almighty, Wise.
[6:115] And your Lord’s word has completed truth and justice. There is no modifier of His words, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.

[21:10] Indeed, we have sent down a scripture to you (all), in it is your remembrance. Will you not then use intelligence?

[72:28] That He knows that indeed, they (messengers) have conveyed messages of their Lord, and He has encompassed of what has been with them, and He has counted number of all things.

God has sent down a detailed scripture specifying it a messenger of God, the final edition of His scripture, a witness, a bearer of good news, a warner, a caller to God, and an illuminating light spelling out it with guidance and proofs, and laws and limits, and truth and justice, and wisdom and balance for the believers to remember Him being sincere to Him using His words. But it is unfortunate that the majority who claim themselves believers remember Him following the conjecture and the forefathers being misled by the leaders and scholars without verifying what they believe and practice using their intelligence when He has given every word that we need to remember Him as well as to obey His commands and laws. Thus, their prayers and practices are not except showing off and mocking to God like the people of the days of the ignorance (8:35) making them losers on a Day of the Judgment for not having any weight on the scales of the justice to be set up on that day.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
