Qur’an – Chapter 30, verse 30; “So set thou thy face giving attention to that Faith (religion) of the Upright Nature: (establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the natural pattern (the Upright Nature) on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the Creation of Allah; that is the correct established Religion, but most among mankind understand not.”
When Allah decrees a thing, He says, “Be,” and it is. That divine decree initiates a natural process that manifests the Will and Plan of Allah for supporting human excellence. Everything in creation naturally submits to the Will of its Creator. There is no debating this divine; there is no questioning its cause or purpose, all of Creation willingly say, “We hear and we obey.”
However, there are two entities — mankind and Satan — that questions submission to. Man has been granted a limited free-will, and Satan has a scheme to rob and deny us of our original natural in order to lead us to that which is artificial and un-natural. Was not the Garden of Eden originally a natural, sin-free environment with clear instructions not to eat of or partake in that which G_d forbade?
When the natural man and the natural woman fail to obey the prohibitions of their Creator, what was once a beautiful environment for growth became a place with the attributes of Hell. Their surroundings took on, and displayed the characteristics that demotes human excellence. The same is true for our lives today whenever we eat or partake in that which Allah has forbade.
Salvation comes when we are able to reorder and reconstitute our lives upon the original natural pattern. In Al-Islam we call that natural pattern “Fitrah.” The Qur’an says, “So set thou thy face giving attention to that Faith (religion) of the Upright Nature: (establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the natural pattern (Upright Nature) on which He has made mankind…” This is the call of Al-Islam to humanity, an open invitation to come back home to the natural order that Allah created for our first parents, Adam and his mate, before Satan interfered and interrupted our thinking in our lives.
This verse continues, “no change (let there be) in the Creation of Allah; that is the correct established Religion…” The arrogant think they can improve upon the natural order of G_d by making an artificial, man-made version of that product, thus we consume — often without questioning — artificial sugar, artificial foods and drinks, and now we are consuming artificial intelligence and more without a G_d-Consciousness. Sadly, even many expressions in religious environments and practices are artificial. That is why Allah says “don’t change” the natural religion that He established; a natural religious order that is 100 percent compatible with the natural man and woman.
Allah concludes this verse saying, “…but most among mankind understand not.” Over the generations, mankind not understanding the clear instructions that they are not to change the original nature of man, they have added icons and ritual expressions, and un-natural requirements into religion. These man-made desires have led to racism, sexism, materialism and wars between nations; wars between sexes, and racial wars. These wars makes Satan very happy.
Our return to our original nature frustrates Satan tremendously. When we remove the unnatural racial images from our worship, Satan is highly upset. When we stand solidly upon the Oneness of G_d, again Satan is losing his mind. Whenever male dominance is replaced with male accountability to family as the responsible leader, and the mother-role of the female is dignified, that is when Satan is kicked out of the home.
Prophet Muhammed, prayers and peace be upon him, established women with the right to vote, own land and businesses during his Prophethood. He did not discriminate based upon race, gender, or nationality. These are the natural standards that all religions — including Islam — need to get back to.
Al-Islam is a natural fit for the natural man and woman. It is an easy fit. In Al-Islam the natural man is not a sinful man. It is the un-natural man and the un-natural woman who are sinners because they have ignored, intentionally, the original plan of their Creator.
According to Al-Islam, Allah’s creation is designed to correct mankind whenever we get too far astray from His natural plan, inevitably reuniting us with our original nature, which is human salvation according to the Will and Plan of our Creator.
