It is possible that this post is based on the translations and commentaries of Islamic texts like Quran, Hadiths etc. as published by all major Islamic publishing sources. These are the publicly available translations that are used for promotion of Islam by prominent representatives.
We, however, believe that most of these texts have been wrongly translated, misinterpreted, misquoted or even have been tampered with and interpolated to suit the selfish designs of proponents of Islam after Muhammad. Thus, we believe that original Islam and original Quran of Muhammad are totally different from what have been propagated by his followers in name of Islam. There are few minority groups in Muslims whose scholars subscribe to our views and interpret/translate Islamic texts differently or even refuse to consider the available Quran and Hadiths as authentic. But these scholars themselves are considered Kafirs and are condemned by a dominant elite group of Islam. Thus, when we refer to Islam, we actually imply these dominant elites of Islam and not Muslims or all Islamic scholars in general.
Wherever we critically evaluate Muhammad, we imply the fictitious Muhammad propagated by these false texts or their wrong translations and not the original Muhammad. We have high regard for original Muhammad who stood for non-violence and tolerance. Similarly, when we analyze Islamic texts, we refer to these questionable translations/versions and NOT original texts.
Further, we have a sense of the highest level of brotherhood for Muslims in general. Wherever we use the word Muslim in a critical manner, it refers to false representatives of Islam and not Muslims in general. Readers are requested to keep this in mind to understand the correct perspective of such posts on this website.
Nowhere should they assume the words like Islam, Quran, Prophet etc. to be referring to original noble entities, unless it has been referred in a positive light. We restrict ourselves only to notions prevalent in minds of fanatics and those without reason.
Need clarification :
All actions only for saying thanks to Supreme Lord.
~Action to be considered as worship, understood. It may be possible that we should thank God as (S)He gives opportunity to act for expressing our inner abilities, to earn money, to feed family, to donate so on & so forth.
Stop pressurising yourself to remain silent simply because the other person may feel bad. Be tolerant, be polite, but also assertive. Do not silence the inner voice at any cost.
~ How to understand it is the voice of God. We may sometime feel angry when someone tells something bad about us. We immediately react, quarrels and after sometime we repent that it was not good behaviour. We can be nice to that people.
1. You can consider God as She or He. Doesn’t matter. Thank Her or Him for all He has bestowed upon you including opportunities.
2. Refer our articles Ishopanishad on Inner Voice vs Instincts. Inner Voice is long term, acts to enhance wisdom and clarity of thoughts, and does not violate the basic pillars of Yoga – non-hatred, pursuit of truth, self-control, greater good for everyone, humility, selflessness etc. By meditation and practice, this voice becomes louder and louder.
