143) That is why We brought you the individuals from various human populations together who now follow the Quran to form a proper human community based upon proper understanding of Our guidance in the midst of all the human populations so that you could act as an example of a proper human community based upon Our guidance for the rest of humanity about proper working of way of life advised by Us in reality as your messenger was an exemplary evidence of it for you to witness and follow. We did not raise you on the path you were born upon but to make evident those who are proper supporters of the messenger for his assigned mission as distinct from those who go after make beliefs and useless rituals blindly. To come to this much awareness about deen of Islam was indeed a matter needing very hard work by individuals but not impossible for those whom Allah granted ability of knowledge based choice and they used that ability appropriately to be steadfastly consistent with His guidance and they made efforts for it. Remember always that Allah does not make your abiding by His guidance fruitless instead He raises such people from among the mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence through His program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity.

This verse tells us that as the message of the Quran was delivered by messenger of Allah and his supporters as a manifesto, some of the people belonging to different human populations in different places became interested in knowing the program and goals as well as guidelines for constitution and laws and once they became satisfied they joined the movement and so the movement came about and expanded as a new community or ummah based upon the Quran. People who already had genuine God sent scriptures and who interpreted them and represented them properly turned to the Quran as they were told in their scriptures and the rest were blind followers of traditions and customs so they carried on with their traditional books that were pushed by their rulers, money lenders and priests and other vested interest parties. Masses instead of questioning those who made fools of them spread nonsense allegations against the newly formed community and that is how rulers, money lenders and priests placed obstacles in its path to try to eliminate or to prevent it from growing and development as much as they could.
144) Many a time We observed you the knowledgeable people looking forward to establishment of the kingdom based upon Our guidance therefore We direct you towards a target that you yourselves desire. So from now on get yourselves fully involved in establishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance. No matter wherever you are from get yourselves involved fully in that set out mission. The people originally given the book who studied it properly knew this to be the set goal for mankind from their Creator and Sustainer and Allah was never negligent in bringing about the results of their benevolent and constructive thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other as explained.
Word SHATR is from root SHEEN, TWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to distance oneself from someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose.

This verse tells us, mankind always desired that there should be established a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah but most of the masses followed each other like sheep instead of working properly step by step for bringing about a kingdom based on guidance of Allah. People just want things to happen without they needing to do anything but the Quran makes it absolutely clear if you do not work towards an end then nothing gets done so any people who want anything must make it happen as well. Therefore if a people want a kingdom run according to guidance of Allah then they must make it happen by learning his message properly and spreading it among mankind correctly and then if people like the received message they should come together and organise into a proper human community based upon that message by working out the constitution and laws based upon the program, set goals and guidelines. As proper human community expands a stage will arrive when a kingdom will come about which should then be run according to the constitution and laws based upon program, goals and guidelines of Allah. In short first an ummah must be brought about based upon the Quran and then a kingdom and then higher goals should be concentrated or focused upon. That is how step by step humanity will rise to bliss, dignified and secure existence and fulfil its purpose of creation by its creator. In other words once there is genuine support for a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah among mankind then none will be able to stop it from coming about but while people say one thing and do another nothing much will change beyond changes that nature brings and a very large portion of humanity will continue suffering painfully throughout the world. There is difference between processes of evolution and revolution. One takes a very, very long time to bring about the needed change and the other cuts time short as explained already. One process pushes people into action for their own survival as individuals so people forced into situations and circumstances to do things and the others needs a group of people who have attained the ability to plan things in advance and then carry them out step by step in order to bring about the needed changes so that goals could be accomplished. The Quran is therefore a book that wants people be act as revolutionaries for ensuring well being of mankind, the sooner the better. In this context one should look at what rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters are doing to humanity. One has to ask oneself the question, are they working for humanity or against it? If they are working for humanity then support them but if they are working against humanity then oppose them and dismantle their world order and put in place the world order the Quran teaches and then give it reasonable time and see the outcome, so wake up and strive hard for quick change for the best. This is why all people whatever their origin must come to realise facts told about in these verses of the Quran and get themselves rid of wrong mindsets, attitudes and behaviours.
145) Despite that being the case then, today even if you bring every evidence from their books to convince the people of the book regarding that assigned mission, as a community they will not support your mission for establishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance here in this world because due to their ignorance and foolishness they have changed Our given concept of deen of Islam for a concept of a religion. Since they do not support Our concept of deen of Islam neither should you support their harmful and destructive religion based missions against the assigned mission of Allah. The fact is, none of the communities given the books already are supporters of each other's religion based missions due to conflicts between them because of their adaptation of ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. If after all this information you people have been given you still yield to their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires even if they are in the name of Allah then surely you will also become of those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other just like them.
Word JAA’A is from root JEEM, YAA and ALIF. Concrete meaning of this root is to come in some sense for some reason or purpose. Also to arrive in some sense for some reason or purpose, to bring in some sense for some reason or purpose, to get in some sense for some reason or purpose, to approach in some sense for some reason or purpose, to reach in some sense for some reason or purpose, to bring about someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to do something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to come to somewhere in some sense for some reason or purpose, to come to or arrive at a point or destination or conclusion in some sense for some reason or purpose, to commit to someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to commit a mistake or blunder or crime in some sense for some reason or purpose, to visit someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to overtake someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to bring someone or something to someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to offer someone or something to someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to come to someone or something with someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to force or compel or cause someone or something to come or go in some way for some reason or purpose, to drive someone to something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have done or committed something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to travel or go on foot in some sense for some reason or purpose, to forge or invent something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to come up with an idea in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have grip or grasp or authority or power or jurisdiction or control over someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have reach or range in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have comprehension or understanding of someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to surround or encompass someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have hand or involvement in something happening in some sense for some reason or purpose, to trick or con someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have a way for being or doing something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be creative or technical in some sense for some reason or purpose, to use a mechanism for doing something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to walk or travel on foot in some sense for some reason or purpose, to go on a journey in some way in some sense for some reason or purpose, a large ditch for collecting rainwater, something durable or lasting, something beautiful, something strong or solid, something that can act as foundation or base for some reason or purpose, staff, government, regime, God , revelation of God, something reliable or trustable, teacher, master, beast of burden, someone or something that can carry weight, someone who can take responsibility for something and carry it through, camel or something like camel in some sense for some reason or purpose, hand or something like hand in some sense for some reason or purpose etc etc.
146) Those to whom We have given the scriptures already and they have studied them properly could recognize this Quran as well just as they could recognize their own family members due to resemblance or similarities between them. However the rulers, money lenders and priests from among them mask the purpose of the revelation of the scriptures due to their ignorance based arrogance and they need to be made aware of this fact.
This verse explains the reasons why some of the people of the book fail to see similarities between the Quran and their own original scriptures. They have misinterpreted and misrepresented the God sent scriptures by way of replacing deen of Islam concepts with mazhab or religious concepts. Had they not done that then all the scriptures sent by God had the same program, goals and guidelines as basis for mankind so they were not at all difficult to recognise for the experts of the scriptures. Even today the true teachings of the original God sent scriptures are so obvious from whatever remains of them in form of existing religious holy books as has been pointed out. It was easy for rulers, money lenders and mullahs etc to replace concepts of deen of Islam with religious because human language makes it possible. Words used in scriptures have so many different meanings as explained in detail already and unless a contradiction free context is aimed for all translation and interpretations of God sent scriptures will fail to produce the message intended by God. In fact mullahs use words in the Quran for their meanings to get the message they want to convey to masses and that is why their translations and interpretations of the Quran are full of contradictions. They want people to not to look at realities of the real world and just listen to their nonsense instead of looking at the text of the Quran in light of real world realities. Mullahs know that if people will try to look at the Quran in light of real world realities then mullahs tricks for misleading people about the message will be found out. Mullahs misinterpret scriptures because they themselves are ignorant about the real world realities. They have no sense of importance of logical consistency in a statement otherwise who is so stupid to mislead people about message of God deliberately? It is because they are ignorant fools that they cannot realise the consequences of what they are doing. One can lie to anyone for whatever reason but not to oneself. So people who do wrong are either ignorant about it or they are forced by circumstances or situations. Ignorance can be natural ignorance or it could be stubbornness or ignorance based arrogance. In case of rulers, money lenders and mullahs it is a case of ignorance based arrogance. These people presume something and then become stuck with it. They see no need to re-examine their stance about things because they think they know what they are doing and why. This is why they are unwilling to listen to others who may be talking sense and that is how God sent messengers and their missionaries were ignored by such people throughout human history. Masses do force changes but very little and very late after a lot of wrong has been done.
147) The purpose of the revelation of the Quran is set out clearly in the Quran by your Creator and Sustainer for you the knowledgeable people in the world therefore being knowledgeable people you should not become like those ignorant people who are in any doubt about it.
148) Be aware of the fact that in the past for each people from anywhere there was set a target/task to achieve/carry out/accomplish within their own region but in your case the knowledgeable people of this era the goal is universal so that gradually all of you move together from everywhere for establishing all that is constructive and benevolent for ensuring well being of whole of mankind. So whatever background you are from Allah will bring all of you together under one and the very same program, goals and guidelines for constitution and laws in due course because that is how Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern everything in this universe.
In this verse Allah is telling people what he expects of mankind and the role of his guidance for them. He is also telling people how he has set up this universe to work to fulfil his will according to his set out plan for his purpose. All things in this universe are working towards the very same end goal. That is their destiny.
Word ISTABAQOO is from root SEEN, BAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to outpace someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose. Also to outstrip someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be in front or ahead of someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to go past someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to go before someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be or do something before others in some sense for some reason or purpose, to outrace someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to beat someone or something in being or doing something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to go beyond reach of someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to win in some sense for some reason or purpose, to defeat someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to vie or race with one another in some sense for some reason or purpose, to compete with someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to race to or compete for someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to overtake someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to precede someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to outdo or outrun someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be outstripped or overtaken or defeated or undermined in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be stopped or prevented from being or doing something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to put up a prize or reward for a winner of a competition in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be better or worse than someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to compete for better or for worse in some way for some reason or purpose, to bite or bite off or cut or cut off someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to sever or separate someone or something from someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to eat or consume or destroy someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to defend or attack someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to fight or go to war in some sense for some reason or purpose, to jump about in some sense for some reason or purpose, to copy or imitate someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to hold or hang onto someone or something firmly in some sense for some reason or purpose, to interact or participate or partake in something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to follow tradition or precedent or custom or rule of law or reference point or constitution or creed or religion or way of life in some sense for some reason or purpose, to shield or protect or defend or hide or cover or shelter someone or something in some sense for some reason or purpose, to provide someone or something with tent or sanctuary or refuge or patronage or guardianship or care or back up, or reinforcement in some sense for some reason or purpose, to have family or clan or tribe or following or party or group or support or backing or hiding place or foundation or base or starting point or covering or canopy or roof over head in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be unhappy or sad or in pain in some sense for some reason or purpose, to be or become firmly established in some sense for some reason or purpose, tooth or something like tooth in some sense for some reason or purpose, house or something like house in some sense for some reason or purpose, monkey or something like monkey in some sense for some reason or purpose etc etc.
149) So from whichever background you start your journey towards Our assigned mission which is for ensuring blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind, remain focused on establishing a kingdom based upon Our guidance in this world. This is the basic goal set for you the followers of the Quran by your creator and sustainer because Allah is never unmindful of harms and destructions you people inflict upon each other by following your self- invented ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other.
In these verses people are told that Quran is a universal scripture so people too must take it as such and organise according to it so that baseless and useless but harmful and destructive quarrels between them could be ended in order to help them concentrate on bigger picture and its related issues than petty quarrels between them over little things. The main thing to sort out is difference between deen=way of life and mazhab=a system of make beliefs invented by mullahs along with some useless rituals to divert attention of masses away from deen of Allah. So long as people want to live by deen advised by Allah it will have to be a program that will need people to organise around a set of goals according to a set of guidelines for a constitution and laws for regulating themselves as an organised community. This is why people will need to work out an action plan to fulfil the given program. However so long as people will waste their time and energy on make beliefs and carrying out useless rituals they will remain unfulfilled because they are bound to falling behind in fulfilling their daily needs. If people fail in fulfilling their daily needs then there is very little else they can do because keeping oneself alive is the first thing and that means being able to fulfil the needs that keep one alive and in a way that keeps people united and peaceful so that they could make progress and prosper. The Quran is therefore a program that feeds people both physically and mentally ie an actions plan for food for eating as well as food for thinking. This is why nonsense promoted in the name of God in form of baseless versions of religion becomes fully exposed.
150) So whichever background you come from get yourselves fully involved in accomplishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance and whichever place you live in work towards it, so that no people of any place fight against you any more with the exception of the rulers, priests, money lenders, their touts, supporters and promoters among them who are against the very idea of existence of a proper human community based upon Our guidance therefore such people will continue their fights against Our mission to the bitter end due to their ignorance based arrogance unless they learn sense for making proper sense of things. So fear not their threats instead remain properly focused upon Our mission so that We fulfil Our promise of unity, peace, progress and prosperity to you the human beings and that is how We will prove to mankind the fact that you are properly guided by Us.
In this verse Allah makes his partnership with people very clear ie you do your part and I will do my part and in the end we all will be pleased with the outcome. All people of everywhere must come together on basis of program, goals and guidelines given in the Quran or if any people think they can come up with anything better than the Quran then they should go ahead and do it and thereby prove the Quran wrong.
151) All this because We have now sent among you this messenger from among yourselves - just as We sent Our messengers among people of the past from among themselves - who proclaims to you Our goals and guidelines for freeing you from all your self-inflicted ills by educating you about Our program for accomplishing Our set goals according to Our provided guidelines for constitution and laws for proper management of people and resources and means of production and distribution so that you are taught about things that you could never know on your own logically consistently for a very long time without suffering serious hardships painfully.
God sent his messages for mankind through his messengers from among human beings themselves because if people were left totally on their own then they could never know God’s purpose for creating the universe and things and people in it. Guidance of Allah is not a program like a computer but a set of cues with gaps for people to fill in using their God given brains by learning things through experimentation with real world realities in this universe. This is why deen of Islam is mainly some goals and some guidelines and the rest is left up to people to figure out for themselves. The reason for gaps is purpose for which God has created human beings ie so that people reach their conclusions about God with very little help from God so that it is mainly their own independent view point about God. God created things to express himself to be known for what he is worth in the eyes of independent minds of people. This is why he revealed his messages so that people could know about God through two of his acts namely creation and revelation. There is no other way for people to know about God no matter what they think or do. Since knowing God is last stage and first is existence and its continuation therefore a way of life is given importance so that people first have the kind of life that can help them reach the stage where at they can become reasonably aware of their creator and sustainer. This is why there is vital need for people to become an ummah or a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah and then they will be able to explore the entire universe for what it is worth to get the idea about abilities or capabilities of God as to how great he is and how well he has done to make show of his existence. This is why people must become literate, educated, trained, skilfully experienced and thoughtful. This is why whatever people believe and do to fulfil this objective is called IBAADAH= allegiance to God as creator and rightful ruler of this universe, not make beliefs and useless rituals. This is why Islam is a way of life that can lead mankind to the ultimate objective which God himself has set for them to achieve. This is why true Muslims are only those people who work towards forming an ummah and then creating a worldwide kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. No matter how little anyone achieves or how large all will be rewarded for their participation in this thing in this world as well as in hereafter. This struggle is called jihad.
152) Therefore you people should proclaim to the human populations throughout the world that kingdom of this universe must be ruled by rule of law of Allah alone to fulfil My program according to My guidelines so that that way I establish you as administrators and managers of My kingdom to use My provisions appropriately for ensuring well being of whole of mankind and do not misuse them.
This verse tells people clearly to establish kingdom of God with help and support of each other for proper management of people and recourses and means of production and distribution so that purpose of God for creating mankind could become fulfilled. The idea that deen of Islam has nothing at all to do with state business is totally negated by many verses in the Quran. Not only that but verse after verse the Quran tells people to establish kingdom of God in this world. It also explains what is meant by kingdom of God ie a kingdom wherein proper needs and wants of all people are met appropriately through proper organisation and regulation of human population for that very purpose according to the Quranic guidance. So one can see there is no room for make beliefs in the Quran in its proper context nor any room for useless rituals. They only confuse people and waste their time and cause insurmountable problems and difficulties. One can therefore see how wrong rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters are about Islam by calling it mazhab or religion.
153) So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, seek with steadfastness community supportive network of humanity for ensuring well being of mankind. Surely Allah through His guidance is with those who prove steadfast in carrying out His assigned mission.
Here God is telling mankind to study the Quran thoroughly for guidance so that you come to know what to do and how to do it and then get on with the job till the mission is accomplished. It is not telling people to take out your mats and sit on them for ages and keep asking for favours of God but if nothing happens then be patient, don’t get upset with God. Seeking guidance of Allah is about reading his message and reflecting over what it says in light of real world realities till it becomes clear what the message is trying to convey. God is not going to talk to anyone directly today in order to guide them otherwise what would be the need for sending messages and messengers for this purpose?
154) Therefore you the mankind should never think of those fought against for supporting the mission assigned by Allah that they can be defeated. No, not at all rather they are the ones who will succeed in attaining unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but you have not yet reached the stage of awareness to realise this fact.
There is no argument that intelligence is basis for all human knowledge because having sense of making sense of things is basis for everything else that man can think or do. If we think about it and question it, where does our basic, primary or foundational knowledge come from? To begin with our senses give our brains windows to the outside world. This acts as stimulus for brain to receive information and process and store it and recall it as and when need be. The brain itself needs a lot of training when it comes to learning skills. This is why a baby cannot use his senses right away but takes time by trying to use them till he becomes skilled over a long period of time. Then baby learns to use his limbs and body parts eg hands and feet etc etc. He has to learn how to sit up, how to stand and walk and talk etc etc. This is why children are only sent to schools when they have become capable of learning from schools. You do not send them right away to universities to get education. However we sent them to schools hoping one day they will have learned enough to go to universities. Likewise we do not send them out to work because they do not have skills to do that either. So it should be clear that learning takes ages before one could actually employ one's skill for the purpose one has learned them. One day a baby becomes so learned that he can do amazing things ie he can reach the moon. Allah has placed huge potential in mankind to actualise it through learning an doing things. This is how man makes Allah look great. It is because man is his masterpiece among creation ie Allah has created nothing better than man as regard his abilities. If we talk rubbish about man, we degrade Allah himself without realising it. This world is created by Allah for mankind and such verses are repeated in the Quran. Allah has given this universe under control of mankind to do with it as they like just like all the other things that man is using for his purposes eg donkeys, camels, cattle, gold, silver etc etc. However man also has been created for a set purpose and that is long way away yet from being fulfilled by mankind. All this is in the Quran if we could prepare ourselves to read the Quran and understand it properly. People can only understand information to the stage they have developed themselves biologically, psychologically and sociologically etc etc. This is why not only that we cannot understand the Quran till we learn how to do that but nothing else either. Can you build a bike or a car or a house without learning how to do it? No. Likewise all sorts of knowledge needs skills for making sense of it and using it for its purpose. So the revelation of God ie the Quran is not an exception.
So the way to understand the Quran properly is to use aqal=intelligence to make sense of the Quran but this aqal has to be aqal needed for understanding the level of the information that is found in the Quran. You see if you gave the Quran in the hands of a baby and told him it is book of God so treat it sensibly. He has no idea what you are talking about so he will take it, tear its pages and start putting them in his mouth. So you will end up with a damaged copy of the Quran. Therefore what I am saying is the level of the information given needs to wait for the recipient to grow up to the needed stage and be able to make sense of it. Otherwise it is like loading a donkey with loads of books and burying it under them alive. This is the reason Allah created the world by setting up processes, systems, mechanisms and laws etc etc and gave it time to unfold. As mankind came about from the very same tree of life as other living creatures and learned sense in time only then Allah revealed to them his guidance because by that time one of them was able to make sense of it and teach it to others. In the Quranic context there have been more than one Aadams. One from which humanity branched off as a new species, the other who became human through learning therefore he received revelation from Allah. The verses in surah Al-baqarah are not about creation of Adam but about assigning him some task to bring humanity out of bloodshed by forming a proper human community and thereby bringing about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. Word malaaikah is used there for tribal chiefs at the time and word sajdah is used in context of, all of you submit to my program, goals and guidelines for constitution and law together if you want to get rid of a way of life based upon laws of nature alone. People can either live by laws of nature or by laws given to mankind for overcoming laws of nature as already explained. Laws of nature use mankind and laws given for guidance of mankind by Allah help him use laws of nature and rest of universe to his own advantage. So man has the choice to go by either of the ways he wants.
Take word SHUKR from root SHEEN, KAAF and RAA for example, we generally take it to mean thanks. We never think about things to try to understand them for their purpose. For example, Allah has given us brains and senses and bodies and told us the purpose in form of setting for us some goals to achieve according to some guidelines. What is purpose of brain? Are we using it for that purpose? What is purpose of our senses? Are we using them for that purpose? What are purposes of our bodies? Are we using them for those purposes? Allah has created this universe for us and we are told about it in the Quran repeatedly? Are we at all bothered with finding out for what purpose can we use the universe and all that is in it? Are we therefore really grateful to Allah for all this? Now make sense of word SHUKR in that context. It means to use provision for the purpose they are provided for by Allah. Now the questions, are we using our brains for the purpose they are given? Is that appreciation of gifts of Allah or not? Can we really appreciate gifts of Allah by misusing them? Now see the implications of this ie we are saying by our mouths thanks Allah but we are at the same time misusing things he gave us. Are we then not lying to ourselves and Allah? More than that are we studying the Quran for what it is given for to us as a gift. Is this gift least of gifts or most of them? So time for us all to put our thinking caps on and show that we are human beings not animals. In the Quran we read such verses which tell us we are born ignorant but with brains and senses, why? See 7/179, 16/78, 22/46, 23/78 etc. It is because we are supposed to learn through direct experiences in time. What does that tell us? That Allah has set up things to evolve from a simple state of existence to most sophisticated and complex they can be. A clear proof that evolution is the best explanation of things. Not only that but Allah also condemns those people as animals who do not use their brains and senses to learn things they are supposed to learn by using them. Again a clear proof that revelation is not the basis for human learning but just a guidance once people have learned enough to make sense of it. Both the Quran and real world realities agree perfectly that basis for human knowledge is sense of making sense of things. Revelation is secondary to intelligence. This is why Allah appeals to sensible people among mankind repeatedly for judging the truth about the Quran and not to ignorant and foolish people who are at the level of animals in their thinking level. Therefore in my view the Quran is a very special book if we study it in depth.
Why? Because in it coming to common terms is told by Allah. Why is this point of vital important? Because you can argue all you like but if you do not have a solid basis then you cannot bring others to your thinking. So to begin with find yourselves upon solid basis. Now as you will try to do that you will be looking for a common ground toward which you can invite others. If you fail to find such common ground yourself then you cannot invite others to anything instead you yourself will have to move to common ground that someone else has found for you and can explain to you how this ground a is common ground. So long as you are apart you are not together and so long as you are together you are united. This is why looking for common ground is of ultimate importance in light of intelligence and revelation both eg 3/64. The origin of primary and secondary human knowledge is also told about in the Quran. Leaving one in no doubt that without knowledge one is just an animal in human form. The emphasis on learning knowledge in the Quran is unparalleled. Not found in any book in the world with such explanations to back it up in light of real world realities. All drive in the world is for keeping people ignorant so that they can be used abusively by clever people like animals eg see 16/78, 23/78, 76/23, 25/44, 2/78, 22/3, 46, 10/36, 62/5, 7/179 and many, many more verses. The truth has come and falsehood is to perish. Anything that is not based upon intelligence is not true but false. Therefore follow only and only that interpretation of the Quran which helps understand the Quran in light of aqal and practical realities on the ground eg see 34/49, 17/81 etc. Besides verses like these there are many, many verses in the Quran which tell mankind to observe universal realities and learn lessons from them. Not only that there are also verses that keep appealing to people who have learned sense to see if this Quran is from Allah or not. In each and every place the Quran condemns those who do not use their God given brains and senses to learn and do thing for their own betterment as a proper human community. Such verses or not odd one or two but hundreds spread throughout the Quran as we shall see as we progress in our study of the Quran.
How could an ignorant, illiterate and uneducated person write such verses in the Quran and which book in the world had such verses in it that anyone let alone Muhammad the messenger of Allah could copy all this information from this way? The Quran constantly invites mankind to observe things and think. A book that wants to educate people out of their ignorance, illiteracy, lack of education and training or skills, how can it mislead people? Even if there is something that gives us some cause for concern in it still we should investigate it ourselves properly to see if it is the book that is saying it or is it because someone has masked its message for some reason by way of misinterpretation and misrepresentation. This is what the book itself tells us within itself ie for personal vested interests people have been perverting message of God throughout history. The author of the book already knew people pervert his messages and use them as a tool to use each other abusively in his name. The main point made here is that the Quran does not tell people it is me you should follow blindly instead it gives primary place to sense of making sense of things and then appeals to sensible people from among mankind to look at the information it contains and then see what conclusion they reach about it in all honesty to themselves. In other words the Quran provides mankind with intellectual basis to judge things including the Quran. If the Quran stands on intellectual basis through construction and deconstruction and reconstruction process only then it becomes authority for mankind to live by. Have we got any book that is of similar nature to the Quran in the world today? This is why no man is authority on the Quran unless one properly understands the Quran. Anyone who claims to be authority on the Quran will be found out by depth and width of his knowledge. This shows rulers, money lenders and mullahs are no authority on the Quran because they never had sufficient knowledge to interpret and present the Quran properly. To understand knowledge of God one has to have intellectual capacity and capability. Baby minded people talking about the Quran be they Muslims or nonMuslims can only look funny talking about the Quran because it is like a kid from a primary school giving lectures to Phds.
155) That is why We avail the opportunity for struggle to you the mankind to learn steadfastness and consistency for self regulation through experiencing things like fear of lack of things of need and loss of lives through results of your own thoughts and actions but good news of united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous life awaits for those who will eventually attain self regulation through consistency and persistence throughout this struggle.

Anything and everything considered useful by mankind in some sense for some reason or purpose is labelled by word AMWAAL. Other than mankind themselves all things are AMWAAL from point of view of Allah but nothing belongs to anyone other than Allah. However, from point of view of people whatever anyone owns is called AMWAAL and this includes human beings held as slaves by other human beings. People also claim to own land and its resources, means of production and distribution. The Quran states that all these are false claims of people because all things were here before they were born and they remain here after they are gone so they cannot be rightful owners of things at all. All they can do is use things and the whole emphasis of the Quran is on proper use of provisions and the proper use of things is clearly explained in the Quran and people are repeatedly told not to misuse things or the results will be terribly sad for mankind themselves. This is why mankind are told to stop each other from doing things the wrong way because it has serious affect on whole of humanity when some people do things they should not. For example, fresh water is very important for mankind to live on but it does not fall from sky for each and every person individually. Allah has set up the rain cycle and land is designed by Allah for flow of water and people have been given brains and senses and bodies to make the best possible use of it. Now if fresh water is not allowed to flow freely by some people so that each person can make use of it then so many will die of thirst. So where is sense in allowing people to own the land as individuals? It is because if we accept ownership of land by individuals then it is up to land owner what he allows his land to be used for and by who. If water was flowing down the hill from a stream and the land was owned by a person and that person did not allow water to flow through his land then what can the rest do who need that water other than go to war over this issue? This is why it is not right way to live to accept ownership of things by people as individuals. The Quran is therefore right in telling mankind to make use of all that is available for them freely but no ownership of it. The next question is, how people should make use of available things? They should organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community based upon guidance of creator and work out their human population and what is available to them and then see how best they can plan to produce and distribute things as a human family working together by way of distributing responsibilities to individuals and ensuring all are working like components of a machine to make the whole thing work. All this needs a lot of education and training for all useful individuals by those who know better otherwise problems of life will bury humanity alive under tonnes of difficulties. Life itself is a huge burden to carry and then fighting each other creates more needless problems for mankind and the only way to sort out all this mess is free education and training for all who are capable of learning. To begin with it is damage limiting exercise because nature is dragging us along and then after humanity is on its feet and on track it is time to do more to get ahead of nature rather than let nature keep dragging humanity due to its continuous ignorance and foolishness.
156) Such as those who when faced with hardships of living their lives say, we are indeed created for hard work by Allah so to His revelation we turn for our guidance to live our lives properly.
These verses clearly explain the purpose of life for mankind and how they should deal with facing problems ie they should not give up struggling but become more determined to solve problems showing creativity and determination. Characteristics God requires of people who are one day to manage the universe and redesign it to their own liking ie mankind are to learn everything about this universe and then make changes to it to the degree that it becomes a paradise for them. Man is not just home builder but a nation builder and even the world builder and that is why one day he will have the knowhow about universe building and go ahead and manage it. That is how one day man will realise and appreciate his creator and sustainer once he sees his own potential for creativity fully unfold before his own eyes. This is how it will become obvious that God really did create man in his own image. Creativity of God could not be appreciated any other way by anyone else. MUSEEBAH coming from Allah means the forewarning given in the books of Allah that if people will not live by his guidance then troubles will result for mankind by hands of each other. Allah does not go out of his way to make life of people hell for them just for fun as ignorant and foolish or thoughtless mullahs will have us believe. This is why Allah makes clear that anything bad that happens to people is already told about it the book before it hits the people ie harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of people will make their lives hell for them. So if people will stay away from harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other and try to be helpful to each other instead then bad things will not happen to them. It is because anything good or bad Allah tells mankind is condition based so if conditions become fulfilled then things to happen based upon those conditions will take place otherwise not. This is very important point for people to realise. For example, kingdom based upon guidance of Allah can only come about if certain conditions are fulfilled not otherwise. Likewise bloody revolutions the Quran talks about will only take place if things are allowed by mankind to go down that road not otherwise. Similarly if people instead of fighting each other focused their attention on natural disasters, they will be able to save themselves from unnecessary deaths and destructions. By fighting each other they are only getting caught up into all sorts of other troubles as well due to nature of the universe the way it is brought about and works from which they could save themselves by doing what needs to be done well in time.
157) Such are the people who benefit properly from guidance of their Creator and Sustainer for their blissful, dignified and secure existence due to blissful, dignified and life securing program of their Creator and Sustainer for them, these are the people who are guided properly by guidance of their Creator and Sustainer.
Throughout the Quran mankind are explained that support of Allah only and only comes for mankind through his guidance so people who properly understand that guidance and act upon it faithfully by planning their courses of actions properly as individuals and as an appropriately organised and regulated community they are bound to succeed against all odds.
158) Surely clarity of purpose and course of actions are the main requirements of people for working according to goals and guidelines of Allah for accomplishing His assigned mission, so that any party that strives for installing Our program, constitution and law in the land or works on building a proper human community upon it- due to that clarity of purpose and properly planned course of actions- does not find itself overwhelmed with obstacles along the way to accomplishing its goal.

The Quran does not teach worship of people or places in their own right but it does tell that community and its institutions as well as individuals who work for establishing and maintaining deen of Allah are of vital importance. It is for this reason they should be prepared appropriately and looked after as well as protected because they help serve community needs so that the community could fulfil its mission assigned to it by Allah for its own well being. It is in this context the Quran tells mankind to go travel throughout the world and see how people who were guided by Allah lived as well as those who did not and draw some sensible conclusions from all that information for your own future. It is very important to realise that whenever a community will be raised based upon the revelation of Allah it will need a piece of land to implement its program according to its revealed guidelines for constitution and laws in order to accomplish its God assigned mission or tasks or goals. It will need to be regulated by laws based upon guidance of Allah. This is why it will need to set up such institutions as will help it do all this. This is why people of old built what they needed to carry out program given by Allah and people of today need to build what they need to carry out mission of Allah in this era.
159) As for rival groups of advantaged people who remain ignorant themselves about Our revealed clear goals and guidelines for their guidance as well as hide them from others who are less advantaged than them after We have made them obvious for the whole of mankind in Our revealed book such are the ones whom guidance of Allah lets remain away from blissful, dignified and secure existence through each other who act to prevent each other from blissful, dignified and secure existence this way,
In this verse people who hide God sent truth from masses are groups of rulers, money lenders, religious leaders, their touts and supporters and they hide it for personal gains which are promised to them by each other. This is why they keep masses under their influence by creating confusion in the minds of masses about God sent truth through their tricks and mechanisms. It is because each person is given independent brain and senses and people are supposed to use them to see the difference between the truth and the falsehood for themselves as individuals but they do not bother therefore they remain under abusive use of others and that is why they remain away from life of bliss, dignity and security unless any of them repent and mend their ways by giving up their invented and adopted ways of life for way of life advised by God for ensuring their well being.

This verse tells us that as the message of the Quran was delivered by messenger of Allah and his supporters as a manifesto, some of the people belonging to different human populations in different places became interested in knowing the program and goals as well as guidelines for constitution and laws and once they became satisfied they joined the movement and so the movement came about and expanded as a new community or ummah based upon the Quran. People who already had genuine God sent scriptures and who interpreted them and represented them properly turned to the Quran as they were told in their scriptures and the rest were blind followers of traditions and customs so they carried on with their traditional books that were pushed by their rulers, money lenders and priests and other vested interest parties. Masses instead of questioning those who made fools of them spread nonsense allegations against the newly formed community and that is how rulers, money lenders and priests placed obstacles in its path to try to eliminate or to prevent it from growing and development as much as they could.
144) Many a time We observed you the knowledgeable people looking forward to establishment of the kingdom based upon Our guidance therefore We direct you towards a target that you yourselves desire. So from now on get yourselves fully involved in establishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance. No matter wherever you are from get yourselves involved fully in that set out mission. The people originally given the book who studied it properly knew this to be the set goal for mankind from their Creator and Sustainer and Allah was never negligent in bringing about the results of their benevolent and constructive thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other as explained.

This verse tells us, mankind always desired that there should be established a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah but most of the masses followed each other like sheep instead of working properly step by step for bringing about a kingdom based on guidance of Allah. People just want things to happen without they needing to do anything but the Quran makes it absolutely clear if you do not work towards an end then nothing gets done so any people who want anything must make it happen as well. Therefore if a people want a kingdom run according to guidance of Allah then they must make it happen by learning his message properly and spreading it among mankind correctly and then if people like the received message they should come together and organise into a proper human community based upon that message by working out the constitution and laws based upon the program, set goals and guidelines. As proper human community expands a stage will arrive when a kingdom will come about which should then be run according to the constitution and laws based upon program, goals and guidelines of Allah. In short first an ummah must be brought about based upon the Quran and then a kingdom and then higher goals should be concentrated or focused upon. That is how step by step humanity will rise to bliss, dignified and secure existence and fulfil its purpose of creation by its creator. In other words once there is genuine support for a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah among mankind then none will be able to stop it from coming about but while people say one thing and do another nothing much will change beyond changes that nature brings and a very large portion of humanity will continue suffering painfully throughout the world. There is difference between processes of evolution and revolution. One takes a very, very long time to bring about the needed change and the other cuts time short as explained already. One process pushes people into action for their own survival as individuals so people forced into situations and circumstances to do things and the others needs a group of people who have attained the ability to plan things in advance and then carry them out step by step in order to bring about the needed changes so that goals could be accomplished. The Quran is therefore a book that wants people be act as revolutionaries for ensuring well being of mankind, the sooner the better. In this context one should look at what rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters are doing to humanity. One has to ask oneself the question, are they working for humanity or against it? If they are working for humanity then support them but if they are working against humanity then oppose them and dismantle their world order and put in place the world order the Quran teaches and then give it reasonable time and see the outcome, so wake up and strive hard for quick change for the best. This is why all people whatever their origin must come to realise facts told about in these verses of the Quran and get themselves rid of wrong mindsets, attitudes and behaviours.
145) Despite that being the case then, today even if you bring every evidence from their books to convince the people of the book regarding that assigned mission, as a community they will not support your mission for establishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance here in this world because due to their ignorance and foolishness they have changed Our given concept of deen of Islam for a concept of a religion. Since they do not support Our concept of deen of Islam neither should you support their harmful and destructive religion based missions against the assigned mission of Allah. The fact is, none of the communities given the books already are supporters of each other's religion based missions due to conflicts between them because of their adaptation of ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. If after all this information you people have been given you still yield to their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires even if they are in the name of Allah then surely you will also become of those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other just like them.

146) Those to whom We have given the scriptures already and they have studied them properly could recognize this Quran as well just as they could recognize their own family members due to resemblance or similarities between them. However the rulers, money lenders and priests from among them mask the purpose of the revelation of the scriptures due to their ignorance based arrogance and they need to be made aware of this fact.
This verse explains the reasons why some of the people of the book fail to see similarities between the Quran and their own original scriptures. They have misinterpreted and misrepresented the God sent scriptures by way of replacing deen of Islam concepts with mazhab or religious concepts. Had they not done that then all the scriptures sent by God had the same program, goals and guidelines as basis for mankind so they were not at all difficult to recognise for the experts of the scriptures. Even today the true teachings of the original God sent scriptures are so obvious from whatever remains of them in form of existing religious holy books as has been pointed out. It was easy for rulers, money lenders and mullahs etc to replace concepts of deen of Islam with religious because human language makes it possible. Words used in scriptures have so many different meanings as explained in detail already and unless a contradiction free context is aimed for all translation and interpretations of God sent scriptures will fail to produce the message intended by God. In fact mullahs use words in the Quran for their meanings to get the message they want to convey to masses and that is why their translations and interpretations of the Quran are full of contradictions. They want people to not to look at realities of the real world and just listen to their nonsense instead of looking at the text of the Quran in light of real world realities. Mullahs know that if people will try to look at the Quran in light of real world realities then mullahs tricks for misleading people about the message will be found out. Mullahs misinterpret scriptures because they themselves are ignorant about the real world realities. They have no sense of importance of logical consistency in a statement otherwise who is so stupid to mislead people about message of God deliberately? It is because they are ignorant fools that they cannot realise the consequences of what they are doing. One can lie to anyone for whatever reason but not to oneself. So people who do wrong are either ignorant about it or they are forced by circumstances or situations. Ignorance can be natural ignorance or it could be stubbornness or ignorance based arrogance. In case of rulers, money lenders and mullahs it is a case of ignorance based arrogance. These people presume something and then become stuck with it. They see no need to re-examine their stance about things because they think they know what they are doing and why. This is why they are unwilling to listen to others who may be talking sense and that is how God sent messengers and their missionaries were ignored by such people throughout human history. Masses do force changes but very little and very late after a lot of wrong has been done.
147) The purpose of the revelation of the Quran is set out clearly in the Quran by your Creator and Sustainer for you the knowledgeable people in the world therefore being knowledgeable people you should not become like those ignorant people who are in any doubt about it.
148) Be aware of the fact that in the past for each people from anywhere there was set a target/task to achieve/carry out/accomplish within their own region but in your case the knowledgeable people of this era the goal is universal so that gradually all of you move together from everywhere for establishing all that is constructive and benevolent for ensuring well being of whole of mankind. So whatever background you are from Allah will bring all of you together under one and the very same program, goals and guidelines for constitution and laws in due course because that is how Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern everything in this universe.
In this verse Allah is telling people what he expects of mankind and the role of his guidance for them. He is also telling people how he has set up this universe to work to fulfil his will according to his set out plan for his purpose. All things in this universe are working towards the very same end goal. That is their destiny.

149) So from whichever background you start your journey towards Our assigned mission which is for ensuring blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind, remain focused on establishing a kingdom based upon Our guidance in this world. This is the basic goal set for you the followers of the Quran by your creator and sustainer because Allah is never unmindful of harms and destructions you people inflict upon each other by following your self- invented ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other.
In these verses people are told that Quran is a universal scripture so people too must take it as such and organise according to it so that baseless and useless but harmful and destructive quarrels between them could be ended in order to help them concentrate on bigger picture and its related issues than petty quarrels between them over little things. The main thing to sort out is difference between deen=way of life and mazhab=a system of make beliefs invented by mullahs along with some useless rituals to divert attention of masses away from deen of Allah. So long as people want to live by deen advised by Allah it will have to be a program that will need people to organise around a set of goals according to a set of guidelines for a constitution and laws for regulating themselves as an organised community. This is why people will need to work out an action plan to fulfil the given program. However so long as people will waste their time and energy on make beliefs and carrying out useless rituals they will remain unfulfilled because they are bound to falling behind in fulfilling their daily needs. If people fail in fulfilling their daily needs then there is very little else they can do because keeping oneself alive is the first thing and that means being able to fulfil the needs that keep one alive and in a way that keeps people united and peaceful so that they could make progress and prosper. The Quran is therefore a program that feeds people both physically and mentally ie an actions plan for food for eating as well as food for thinking. This is why nonsense promoted in the name of God in form of baseless versions of religion becomes fully exposed.
150) So whichever background you come from get yourselves fully involved in accomplishing the kingdom based upon Our guidance and whichever place you live in work towards it, so that no people of any place fight against you any more with the exception of the rulers, priests, money lenders, their touts, supporters and promoters among them who are against the very idea of existence of a proper human community based upon Our guidance therefore such people will continue their fights against Our mission to the bitter end due to their ignorance based arrogance unless they learn sense for making proper sense of things. So fear not their threats instead remain properly focused upon Our mission so that We fulfil Our promise of unity, peace, progress and prosperity to you the human beings and that is how We will prove to mankind the fact that you are properly guided by Us.
In this verse Allah makes his partnership with people very clear ie you do your part and I will do my part and in the end we all will be pleased with the outcome. All people of everywhere must come together on basis of program, goals and guidelines given in the Quran or if any people think they can come up with anything better than the Quran then they should go ahead and do it and thereby prove the Quran wrong.
151) All this because We have now sent among you this messenger from among yourselves - just as We sent Our messengers among people of the past from among themselves - who proclaims to you Our goals and guidelines for freeing you from all your self-inflicted ills by educating you about Our program for accomplishing Our set goals according to Our provided guidelines for constitution and laws for proper management of people and resources and means of production and distribution so that you are taught about things that you could never know on your own logically consistently for a very long time without suffering serious hardships painfully.
God sent his messages for mankind through his messengers from among human beings themselves because if people were left totally on their own then they could never know God’s purpose for creating the universe and things and people in it. Guidance of Allah is not a program like a computer but a set of cues with gaps for people to fill in using their God given brains by learning things through experimentation with real world realities in this universe. This is why deen of Islam is mainly some goals and some guidelines and the rest is left up to people to figure out for themselves. The reason for gaps is purpose for which God has created human beings ie so that people reach their conclusions about God with very little help from God so that it is mainly their own independent view point about God. God created things to express himself to be known for what he is worth in the eyes of independent minds of people. This is why he revealed his messages so that people could know about God through two of his acts namely creation and revelation. There is no other way for people to know about God no matter what they think or do. Since knowing God is last stage and first is existence and its continuation therefore a way of life is given importance so that people first have the kind of life that can help them reach the stage where at they can become reasonably aware of their creator and sustainer. This is why there is vital need for people to become an ummah or a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah and then they will be able to explore the entire universe for what it is worth to get the idea about abilities or capabilities of God as to how great he is and how well he has done to make show of his existence. This is why people must become literate, educated, trained, skilfully experienced and thoughtful. This is why whatever people believe and do to fulfil this objective is called IBAADAH= allegiance to God as creator and rightful ruler of this universe, not make beliefs and useless rituals. This is why Islam is a way of life that can lead mankind to the ultimate objective which God himself has set for them to achieve. This is why true Muslims are only those people who work towards forming an ummah and then creating a worldwide kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. No matter how little anyone achieves or how large all will be rewarded for their participation in this thing in this world as well as in hereafter. This struggle is called jihad.
152) Therefore you people should proclaim to the human populations throughout the world that kingdom of this universe must be ruled by rule of law of Allah alone to fulfil My program according to My guidelines so that that way I establish you as administrators and managers of My kingdom to use My provisions appropriately for ensuring well being of whole of mankind and do not misuse them.
This verse tells people clearly to establish kingdom of God with help and support of each other for proper management of people and recourses and means of production and distribution so that purpose of God for creating mankind could become fulfilled. The idea that deen of Islam has nothing at all to do with state business is totally negated by many verses in the Quran. Not only that but verse after verse the Quran tells people to establish kingdom of God in this world. It also explains what is meant by kingdom of God ie a kingdom wherein proper needs and wants of all people are met appropriately through proper organisation and regulation of human population for that very purpose according to the Quranic guidance. So one can see there is no room for make beliefs in the Quran in its proper context nor any room for useless rituals. They only confuse people and waste their time and cause insurmountable problems and difficulties. One can therefore see how wrong rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters are about Islam by calling it mazhab or religion.
153) So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, seek with steadfastness community supportive network of humanity for ensuring well being of mankind. Surely Allah through His guidance is with those who prove steadfast in carrying out His assigned mission.
Here God is telling mankind to study the Quran thoroughly for guidance so that you come to know what to do and how to do it and then get on with the job till the mission is accomplished. It is not telling people to take out your mats and sit on them for ages and keep asking for favours of God but if nothing happens then be patient, don’t get upset with God. Seeking guidance of Allah is about reading his message and reflecting over what it says in light of real world realities till it becomes clear what the message is trying to convey. God is not going to talk to anyone directly today in order to guide them otherwise what would be the need for sending messages and messengers for this purpose?
154) Therefore you the mankind should never think of those fought against for supporting the mission assigned by Allah that they can be defeated. No, not at all rather they are the ones who will succeed in attaining unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but you have not yet reached the stage of awareness to realise this fact.
There is no argument that intelligence is basis for all human knowledge because having sense of making sense of things is basis for everything else that man can think or do. If we think about it and question it, where does our basic, primary or foundational knowledge come from? To begin with our senses give our brains windows to the outside world. This acts as stimulus for brain to receive information and process and store it and recall it as and when need be. The brain itself needs a lot of training when it comes to learning skills. This is why a baby cannot use his senses right away but takes time by trying to use them till he becomes skilled over a long period of time. Then baby learns to use his limbs and body parts eg hands and feet etc etc. He has to learn how to sit up, how to stand and walk and talk etc etc. This is why children are only sent to schools when they have become capable of learning from schools. You do not send them right away to universities to get education. However we sent them to schools hoping one day they will have learned enough to go to universities. Likewise we do not send them out to work because they do not have skills to do that either. So it should be clear that learning takes ages before one could actually employ one's skill for the purpose one has learned them. One day a baby becomes so learned that he can do amazing things ie he can reach the moon. Allah has placed huge potential in mankind to actualise it through learning an doing things. This is how man makes Allah look great. It is because man is his masterpiece among creation ie Allah has created nothing better than man as regard his abilities. If we talk rubbish about man, we degrade Allah himself without realising it. This world is created by Allah for mankind and such verses are repeated in the Quran. Allah has given this universe under control of mankind to do with it as they like just like all the other things that man is using for his purposes eg donkeys, camels, cattle, gold, silver etc etc. However man also has been created for a set purpose and that is long way away yet from being fulfilled by mankind. All this is in the Quran if we could prepare ourselves to read the Quran and understand it properly. People can only understand information to the stage they have developed themselves biologically, psychologically and sociologically etc etc. This is why not only that we cannot understand the Quran till we learn how to do that but nothing else either. Can you build a bike or a car or a house without learning how to do it? No. Likewise all sorts of knowledge needs skills for making sense of it and using it for its purpose. So the revelation of God ie the Quran is not an exception.
So the way to understand the Quran properly is to use aqal=intelligence to make sense of the Quran but this aqal has to be aqal needed for understanding the level of the information that is found in the Quran. You see if you gave the Quran in the hands of a baby and told him it is book of God so treat it sensibly. He has no idea what you are talking about so he will take it, tear its pages and start putting them in his mouth. So you will end up with a damaged copy of the Quran. Therefore what I am saying is the level of the information given needs to wait for the recipient to grow up to the needed stage and be able to make sense of it. Otherwise it is like loading a donkey with loads of books and burying it under them alive. This is the reason Allah created the world by setting up processes, systems, mechanisms and laws etc etc and gave it time to unfold. As mankind came about from the very same tree of life as other living creatures and learned sense in time only then Allah revealed to them his guidance because by that time one of them was able to make sense of it and teach it to others. In the Quranic context there have been more than one Aadams. One from which humanity branched off as a new species, the other who became human through learning therefore he received revelation from Allah. The verses in surah Al-baqarah are not about creation of Adam but about assigning him some task to bring humanity out of bloodshed by forming a proper human community and thereby bringing about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. Word malaaikah is used there for tribal chiefs at the time and word sajdah is used in context of, all of you submit to my program, goals and guidelines for constitution and law together if you want to get rid of a way of life based upon laws of nature alone. People can either live by laws of nature or by laws given to mankind for overcoming laws of nature as already explained. Laws of nature use mankind and laws given for guidance of mankind by Allah help him use laws of nature and rest of universe to his own advantage. So man has the choice to go by either of the ways he wants.
Take word SHUKR from root SHEEN, KAAF and RAA for example, we generally take it to mean thanks. We never think about things to try to understand them for their purpose. For example, Allah has given us brains and senses and bodies and told us the purpose in form of setting for us some goals to achieve according to some guidelines. What is purpose of brain? Are we using it for that purpose? What is purpose of our senses? Are we using them for that purpose? What are purposes of our bodies? Are we using them for those purposes? Allah has created this universe for us and we are told about it in the Quran repeatedly? Are we at all bothered with finding out for what purpose can we use the universe and all that is in it? Are we therefore really grateful to Allah for all this? Now make sense of word SHUKR in that context. It means to use provision for the purpose they are provided for by Allah. Now the questions, are we using our brains for the purpose they are given? Is that appreciation of gifts of Allah or not? Can we really appreciate gifts of Allah by misusing them? Now see the implications of this ie we are saying by our mouths thanks Allah but we are at the same time misusing things he gave us. Are we then not lying to ourselves and Allah? More than that are we studying the Quran for what it is given for to us as a gift. Is this gift least of gifts or most of them? So time for us all to put our thinking caps on and show that we are human beings not animals. In the Quran we read such verses which tell us we are born ignorant but with brains and senses, why? See 7/179, 16/78, 22/46, 23/78 etc. It is because we are supposed to learn through direct experiences in time. What does that tell us? That Allah has set up things to evolve from a simple state of existence to most sophisticated and complex they can be. A clear proof that evolution is the best explanation of things. Not only that but Allah also condemns those people as animals who do not use their brains and senses to learn things they are supposed to learn by using them. Again a clear proof that revelation is not the basis for human learning but just a guidance once people have learned enough to make sense of it. Both the Quran and real world realities agree perfectly that basis for human knowledge is sense of making sense of things. Revelation is secondary to intelligence. This is why Allah appeals to sensible people among mankind repeatedly for judging the truth about the Quran and not to ignorant and foolish people who are at the level of animals in their thinking level. Therefore in my view the Quran is a very special book if we study it in depth.
Why? Because in it coming to common terms is told by Allah. Why is this point of vital important? Because you can argue all you like but if you do not have a solid basis then you cannot bring others to your thinking. So to begin with find yourselves upon solid basis. Now as you will try to do that you will be looking for a common ground toward which you can invite others. If you fail to find such common ground yourself then you cannot invite others to anything instead you yourself will have to move to common ground that someone else has found for you and can explain to you how this ground a is common ground. So long as you are apart you are not together and so long as you are together you are united. This is why looking for common ground is of ultimate importance in light of intelligence and revelation both eg 3/64. The origin of primary and secondary human knowledge is also told about in the Quran. Leaving one in no doubt that without knowledge one is just an animal in human form. The emphasis on learning knowledge in the Quran is unparalleled. Not found in any book in the world with such explanations to back it up in light of real world realities. All drive in the world is for keeping people ignorant so that they can be used abusively by clever people like animals eg see 16/78, 23/78, 76/23, 25/44, 2/78, 22/3, 46, 10/36, 62/5, 7/179 and many, many more verses. The truth has come and falsehood is to perish. Anything that is not based upon intelligence is not true but false. Therefore follow only and only that interpretation of the Quran which helps understand the Quran in light of aqal and practical realities on the ground eg see 34/49, 17/81 etc. Besides verses like these there are many, many verses in the Quran which tell mankind to observe universal realities and learn lessons from them. Not only that there are also verses that keep appealing to people who have learned sense to see if this Quran is from Allah or not. In each and every place the Quran condemns those who do not use their God given brains and senses to learn and do thing for their own betterment as a proper human community. Such verses or not odd one or two but hundreds spread throughout the Quran as we shall see as we progress in our study of the Quran.
How could an ignorant, illiterate and uneducated person write such verses in the Quran and which book in the world had such verses in it that anyone let alone Muhammad the messenger of Allah could copy all this information from this way? The Quran constantly invites mankind to observe things and think. A book that wants to educate people out of their ignorance, illiteracy, lack of education and training or skills, how can it mislead people? Even if there is something that gives us some cause for concern in it still we should investigate it ourselves properly to see if it is the book that is saying it or is it because someone has masked its message for some reason by way of misinterpretation and misrepresentation. This is what the book itself tells us within itself ie for personal vested interests people have been perverting message of God throughout history. The author of the book already knew people pervert his messages and use them as a tool to use each other abusively in his name. The main point made here is that the Quran does not tell people it is me you should follow blindly instead it gives primary place to sense of making sense of things and then appeals to sensible people from among mankind to look at the information it contains and then see what conclusion they reach about it in all honesty to themselves. In other words the Quran provides mankind with intellectual basis to judge things including the Quran. If the Quran stands on intellectual basis through construction and deconstruction and reconstruction process only then it becomes authority for mankind to live by. Have we got any book that is of similar nature to the Quran in the world today? This is why no man is authority on the Quran unless one properly understands the Quran. Anyone who claims to be authority on the Quran will be found out by depth and width of his knowledge. This shows rulers, money lenders and mullahs are no authority on the Quran because they never had sufficient knowledge to interpret and present the Quran properly. To understand knowledge of God one has to have intellectual capacity and capability. Baby minded people talking about the Quran be they Muslims or nonMuslims can only look funny talking about the Quran because it is like a kid from a primary school giving lectures to Phds.
155) That is why We avail the opportunity for struggle to you the mankind to learn steadfastness and consistency for self regulation through experiencing things like fear of lack of things of need and loss of lives through results of your own thoughts and actions but good news of united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous life awaits for those who will eventually attain self regulation through consistency and persistence throughout this struggle.

beings, things used for trading or bartering or exchange, money or something invented or used like money, finance, juice, fluid, liquid, bloodshed, products, water or something like water in some sense for some reason or purpose, hoop or something like hook in some sense for some reason or purpose, hand or something like hand in some sense for some reason or purpose, ox-goad or something like

Anything and everything considered useful by mankind in some sense for some reason or purpose is labelled by word AMWAAL. Other than mankind themselves all things are AMWAAL from point of view of Allah but nothing belongs to anyone other than Allah. However, from point of view of people whatever anyone owns is called AMWAAL and this includes human beings held as slaves by other human beings. People also claim to own land and its resources, means of production and distribution. The Quran states that all these are false claims of people because all things were here before they were born and they remain here after they are gone so they cannot be rightful owners of things at all. All they can do is use things and the whole emphasis of the Quran is on proper use of provisions and the proper use of things is clearly explained in the Quran and people are repeatedly told not to misuse things or the results will be terribly sad for mankind themselves. This is why mankind are told to stop each other from doing things the wrong way because it has serious affect on whole of humanity when some people do things they should not. For example, fresh water is very important for mankind to live on but it does not fall from sky for each and every person individually. Allah has set up the rain cycle and land is designed by Allah for flow of water and people have been given brains and senses and bodies to make the best possible use of it. Now if fresh water is not allowed to flow freely by some people so that each person can make use of it then so many will die of thirst. So where is sense in allowing people to own the land as individuals? It is because if we accept ownership of land by individuals then it is up to land owner what he allows his land to be used for and by who. If water was flowing down the hill from a stream and the land was owned by a person and that person did not allow water to flow through his land then what can the rest do who need that water other than go to war over this issue? This is why it is not right way to live to accept ownership of things by people as individuals. The Quran is therefore right in telling mankind to make use of all that is available for them freely but no ownership of it. The next question is, how people should make use of available things? They should organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community based upon guidance of creator and work out their human population and what is available to them and then see how best they can plan to produce and distribute things as a human family working together by way of distributing responsibilities to individuals and ensuring all are working like components of a machine to make the whole thing work. All this needs a lot of education and training for all useful individuals by those who know better otherwise problems of life will bury humanity alive under tonnes of difficulties. Life itself is a huge burden to carry and then fighting each other creates more needless problems for mankind and the only way to sort out all this mess is free education and training for all who are capable of learning. To begin with it is damage limiting exercise because nature is dragging us along and then after humanity is on its feet and on track it is time to do more to get ahead of nature rather than let nature keep dragging humanity due to its continuous ignorance and foolishness.
156) Such as those who when faced with hardships of living their lives say, we are indeed created for hard work by Allah so to His revelation we turn for our guidance to live our lives properly.
These verses clearly explain the purpose of life for mankind and how they should deal with facing problems ie they should not give up struggling but become more determined to solve problems showing creativity and determination. Characteristics God requires of people who are one day to manage the universe and redesign it to their own liking ie mankind are to learn everything about this universe and then make changes to it to the degree that it becomes a paradise for them. Man is not just home builder but a nation builder and even the world builder and that is why one day he will have the knowhow about universe building and go ahead and manage it. That is how one day man will realise and appreciate his creator and sustainer once he sees his own potential for creativity fully unfold before his own eyes. This is how it will become obvious that God really did create man in his own image. Creativity of God could not be appreciated any other way by anyone else. MUSEEBAH coming from Allah means the forewarning given in the books of Allah that if people will not live by his guidance then troubles will result for mankind by hands of each other. Allah does not go out of his way to make life of people hell for them just for fun as ignorant and foolish or thoughtless mullahs will have us believe. This is why Allah makes clear that anything bad that happens to people is already told about it the book before it hits the people ie harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of people will make their lives hell for them. So if people will stay away from harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other and try to be helpful to each other instead then bad things will not happen to them. It is because anything good or bad Allah tells mankind is condition based so if conditions become fulfilled then things to happen based upon those conditions will take place otherwise not. This is very important point for people to realise. For example, kingdom based upon guidance of Allah can only come about if certain conditions are fulfilled not otherwise. Likewise bloody revolutions the Quran talks about will only take place if things are allowed by mankind to go down that road not otherwise. Similarly if people instead of fighting each other focused their attention on natural disasters, they will be able to save themselves from unnecessary deaths and destructions. By fighting each other they are only getting caught up into all sorts of other troubles as well due to nature of the universe the way it is brought about and works from which they could save themselves by doing what needs to be done well in time.
157) Such are the people who benefit properly from guidance of their Creator and Sustainer for their blissful, dignified and secure existence due to blissful, dignified and life securing program of their Creator and Sustainer for them, these are the people who are guided properly by guidance of their Creator and Sustainer.
Throughout the Quran mankind are explained that support of Allah only and only comes for mankind through his guidance so people who properly understand that guidance and act upon it faithfully by planning their courses of actions properly as individuals and as an appropriately organised and regulated community they are bound to succeed against all odds.
158) Surely clarity of purpose and course of actions are the main requirements of people for working according to goals and guidelines of Allah for accomplishing His assigned mission, so that any party that strives for installing Our program, constitution and law in the land or works on building a proper human community upon it- due to that clarity of purpose and properly planned course of actions- does not find itself overwhelmed with obstacles along the way to accomplishing its goal. So any people who are constant and consistent with what ensures well being of mankind it is only because Allah has made it obvious for them through His guidance the proper use of His provisions.

The Quran does not teach worship of people or places in their own right but it does tell that community and its institutions as well as individuals who work for establishing and maintaining deen of Allah are of vital importance. It is for this reason they should be prepared appropriately and looked after as well as protected because they help serve community needs so that the community could fulfil its mission assigned to it by Allah for its own well being. It is in this context the Quran tells mankind to go travel throughout the world and see how people who were guided by Allah lived as well as those who did not and draw some sensible conclusions from all that information for your own future. It is very important to realise that whenever a community will be raised based upon the revelation of Allah it will need a piece of land to implement its program according to its revealed guidelines for constitution and laws in order to accomplish its God assigned mission or tasks or goals. It will need to be regulated by laws based upon guidance of Allah. This is why it will need to set up such institutions as will help it do all this. This is why people of old built what they needed to carry out program given by Allah and people of today need to build what they need to carry out mission of Allah in this era.
159) As for rival groups of advantaged people who remain ignorant themselves about Our revealed clear goals and guidelines for their guidance as well as hide them from others who are less advantaged than them after We have made them obvious for the whole of mankind in Our revealed book such are the ones whom guidance of Allah lets remain away from blissful, dignified and secure existence through each other who act to prevent each other from blissful, dignified and secure existence this way,
In this verse people who hide God sent truth from masses are groups of rulers, money lenders, religious leaders, their touts and supporters and they hide it for personal gains which are promised to them by each other. This is why they keep masses under their influence by creating confusion in the minds of masses about God sent truth through their tricks and mechanisms. It is because each person is given independent brain and senses and people are supposed to use them to see the difference between the truth and the falsehood for themselves as individuals but they do not bother therefore they remain under abusive use of others and that is why they remain away from life of bliss, dignity and security unless any of them repent and mend their ways by giving up their invented and adopted ways of life for way of life advised by God for ensuring their well being.
