BELIVE ALLAH JALLA JALALUH:
KNOWING AND RECOGNIZING ALLAH JALLA JALALUH

At first; a man should know The Existence of Allah and recognize Allah according to Words of Allah, that is Holy Book Qur'an, and hadithes (words of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Because Holy Qur'an and words of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are absolute truth. A human who should recognize own self and universe can easily know and recognize Allah. Allah has ninety nine names. The Most Beautiful Names manifested universe. There is fine order in universe. You can read this book of universe and book of human. You can easily know Allah with the Most Beautiful Names.
Mind is a great blessing and bounty of Allah. Mind and intelligence is a the skill in order to recognize Allah. It is a means that Intelligence supplies to know Allah and to confirm Messengers of Allah. Intelligence has no ability Which knowing everything is wanted from servant so that Messengers sent by Allah and Holy Books sent down to mankind. Eye and intelligence err. Messenges of Allah and The Holy Book Qur'an are unfallible.

The name Allah in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many Christians (Mushrikoon) may think; Allah is the proper name of The Creator. God word and the name of Allah are different words. Saying god is not permissible except Tawheed and Shahada (Confession of a Muslim) for understanding. Because god name is a general and appellative name. Allah is the special name of Our Rubb (Lord).

Allah! There is no Ilah except Allah: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than Allah's? (4: 87)

Who are you? Who created you? Who is Allah? Who is your Rubb (The Lord)?

Allah created you and you are one of the servant of Allah. If you do not accept servitude to Allah, unfourtunately, you obliged to be servant of servants. You alone serve Allah according to Islam, Do become free the most from non-muslims. Mankind look like a guest in this present world. It has a flesh belonging to wold and unsatisfied soul from this world. In fact, mankind and Jinns are very great trial. If you want to win it, become Muslim and live Islam according to Islam. The homeland of Adam alaihissalam was the paradise of Allah. There are any wills of mankind belonging to paradise like eternal prosperty, beauty, living and unproblem life. The soul of human always wants them. The flesh which created from dust also want to eat and drink unlimittedly. The existence of human view of the world neither unleavable nor is this life enough for satisfying wishes of human. Know this and live Islam.

Allah is The Creator: Allah is who created all living creatures from nonexistent, He determines their existence, conditions and events.
Allah is the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (Al-Hashr, 24)
It is Allah who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent back to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known (much): for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.(16, 70)

If you look at this verse, Satan accepted that Allah is The Creator. But Satan did not accept that Allah is Rubb and Al-Hakeem (The Judge, The Wise) and Satan bacame Kaafir (someone who denied the Judgement of Allah)

38:75 ((Allah)) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself towards one (Adam was a qiblah) whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?"
38:76 (Iblis) said: "I am better than he: you created me from fire, and him youu created from clay."
Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not? Will you not then remember? (16: 17)

O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no Ilâh (worthy of worship) but Allah: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth? (35: 3)

Allah is the Only One Lord (Rubb) of nonexistence, moon, sun worlds and all creatures. Allah is the wisest of judges. Allah is The Owner of All (The King of the Kingdom) and The Absolute Ruler (The Ruler of the entire universe (King of Kings)). My Rubb is Allah who has created me and all living beings. He nourishes me and all creatures by His Bounties.

Allah puts forward the example (of two men a believer and a disbeliever); a slave (disbeliever) under the possession of another, he has no power of any sort, and (the other), a man (believer) on whom We have bestowed a good provision from Us, and He spends thereof secretly and openly. Can they be equal? (By no means). All the praises and thanks be to Allah. Nay! (But) most of them know not. (16, 75)

That is because Allah is Haqq (The Truth), and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood; and because Allah, - He is the Most High, Most Great. (31: 30)
Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days (phase). But He did not rest on seventh day, Because He never get tired. Allah is perfect, Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.

It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His verses in detail, for those who understand. (10: 5)

Why don't you see Allah?
Because this present life is a trial. You never see Allah in this present world. But you are at the Presence of Allah. If Allah show yourself to you, the trial would be meaningless. That time, because you would have obliged to believe Allah. But you should believe Allah according to Islam without seeing. If Allah had shown yourself to you; the light of Allah would burn you.

Mushriks will believe Allah in hereafter and is stated in the Qur'an. Atheists, Jews, Christians, freemasons, communists, Sophists are all "Mushrik".
But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: We believe in Allah, the One Allah and we reject the partners we used to join with Him.(40:84)

But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's way of dealing with His servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)! (40:85)

When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He madeit as dust. And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe." (7: 143)

You should not reject Allah (The Only One Almighty, Suprime Being) as you can not see Allah. If you don't believe Allah according to Islam, your life has not meaning. Muslims don't see Allah in the present world but trust and believe Allah. So that Muslims are tranquil. Islam Shariah (law) looks like a sun. Mind looks like an eye. If Your mind opens and is strong, it sees sunshine by The Will of Allah. Allah is Al-'Aliym: The Knower of All (He who has full knowledge of all things.). Allah is The All-Seeing and the Hearer of All. Your past, present and future is the whole. Allah sees the whole. You can see a part of the whole by Will of Allah. Your duty is submitting your will and mind to Allah who is the All-Seeing. You should know that beneficences, favors, goodnesses are from Allah. And you should know evil, badness, calamities are from yourself.

THE PURPOSE OF CREATION: Allah created humanity to alone worship Allah. Allah created the world and then created Adam alaissalam from clay. Sustainaces are trust to mankind from Allah. The purpose of Muslims is gaining the Consent of Allah. If you live without this purpose you are disappointed in this world and hearafter ! What is the purpose of creation of mankind? What is the purpose why Allah created you as a human being?
Allah revealled Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and It is stated in English Translation of the meaning of Qur'an: 'I have not created the jinn and mankind except to worship (ibaadah) Me 'No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever). (Adh-Dhariyat, 56-58)
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. (50: 16)

"In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day there are indeed evidences for men of understanding; "Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and ponder over th e creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, Thou hast not created this in vain; nay, Holy art Thou; save us, then, from the punishment of The Fire." (3: 19l-192)
This verse beautifully tells us that when a worshipper reflects upon the structure of the Universe he becomes overwhelmed with the greatness of its Creator. The ENTITY Who created such an awe-inspiring structure with such detailed arrangement and accuracy. He is alone to be worshipped and so right for protection.
Mankind and the universe were not created by accident or chance, but according to the plan of the Creator. You are not footloose human in this present world. The Qur'an states that it is the duty of all individuals to learn about Allah and to live according to Allah's will. Muslims serve and alone worshipped Allah and they are utmost affiliated with Islam, tranquil and happy. Muslims serve Allah slavisly and never serve servants. Life is a trial and the goal of mu'min (one who has faith) is to gain The Consent of Allah. Muslims will see Allah in paradise. This is the greatest blessing of Allah for Muslims. Allah is free from place and time.
Allah has created us out of nothing, And made us in the best form. He has given us all graces and bounties. Hence we are not permitted to submit absolutely, to worship or invoke to any other than Him, whether a favorite Angel or a chosen Prophet!
And Allah has brought you forth from the (dust of) earth. (71: 17)
What does "Balaa" mean?
It is a covenant (mithaq). That is, Allah asked when He created all souls: "Am I not your Lord (Rubb)"? They answered "Yes, for certain you are our Lord (Rubb) (Balaa)." Thus, I have been a Muslim from that time.

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam-from their loins-their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful": Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false ilâhaîn (two gods in worship, etc.), but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?" (7: 172, 173)
Know Allah is One and Only. Fear Allah! If thou (You) couldst but see when they are confronted with their Lord! He will say: "Is not this the truth?" They will say: "Yea, by our Lord!" He will say: "Taste ye (You) then the penalty, because ye rejected Faith."
Allah explained that when He created Adam, He caused all of Adam's descendants to come into existence and took a pledge from them saying, Am I not your Lord? To which they all replied, " Yes, we testify to It!'
Mankind needs Allah.
O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allah: but Allah is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise. (35: 15)
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (25: 2)
And if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean (were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply), yet would not the words of Allah be exhausted (in the writing): for Allah is Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom. (31: 25)
Who is the friend of Allah?
The friends of Allah: Those are the friends of Allah who believe Islam is only true way and live Islam according to Islam as pious and righteous, fear Him much abstain from all kinds of sins and perform all kinds of goods, and holdfast to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Unproved love is a hollow love. Do you love and fear Allah? Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Say: "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (3: 31)
Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge (Muslims): for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving. (Qur'an, 35: 28)

Allah is Al-Muhyi (The Giver of Life): He who confers life, gives vitality, revives. Al-Mumiyt (The Taker of Life): He who creates the death of a living creature.

Have you ever watched your finger with view of lesson?
Your finger and cohesive claw is alive. But the surplus age of your finger is not alive. Your finger is alive as much as fingertip. Your claw is not alive after fingertip. Al-Muhyi and Al-Mumiyt names of Allah manifest.
It is stated in the Surah Al-Qıyama of Qur'an: 3 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
4 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

It is stated the conversation with Prophet Abraham and pharaoh (2. Ramses). Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Rubb (Lord), because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust. (2: 258)

Allah is The Resurrector: He who brings the dead to life, and raises them from their tombs.
It is Allah who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up the Clouds, and we drive them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so (will be) the Resurrection! (35: 9)
When Abraham said:" Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead, "He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty, Wise." (2: 260)

And your creation or your resurrection is in no wise but as an individual soul: for Allah is He Who hears and sees (all things). (31:28)
Seest thou not that Allah merges Night into Day and he merges Day into Night; that He has subjected the sun, and the moon (to his Law), each running its course for a term appointed; and that Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do? (31:29)

It is He Who sendeth the winds like heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy: when they have carried the heavy-laden clouds, We drive them to a land that is dead, make rain to descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest therewith: thus shall We raise up the dead: perchance ye may remember. (7: 57)

Allah is who know qayb (unseen, unknow). Allah alone know everything. You can know some knowlodge of past and present with The Will of Allah.
The unseen (qayb)'s keys are five. Noone definetely knows them except Allah. It is stated in the Qur'an : Surely Allah is He with Whom is the knowledge of the hour, and He sends down the rain and He knows what is in the wombs; and no one knows what he shall earn on the morrow; and no one knows in what land he shall die; surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.(31: 34)

Islam is not mysterious field. It is required that you should know that Belief in Qayb, truths about qayb (truths which perception of human shriveled at perceiving) is not secrets and mysteries. It means that secret is not outside of the field of perception, a knowlodge whose those are who captured it obscured. Islam is collection of divine rules and revelations that raises human beings above the level of the animals, and a way to enter the paradise with The Will of Allah.
Certainly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Truly, He likes not the proud.(16,23)

With Him are the keys of the unseen (qayb), the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read). (6: 59)

What are The Divine Attributes of Allah?
Allah alone has divine attributes. He is absoluteness, knowledge, power, will, wisdom, and independence. He is without fault and no one is like Him in His attributes. Allah is above any fault the polytheists attribute to Allah. The belief in the Oneness of Allah cannot be comprehended except after stating the attributes, which are His. They are the "attributes of perfection", like power, knowledge, will, eternal being, wisdom, creator, etc. Imperfection, need for time and space, evil, incarnation, movement, physical being, etc are the "negative attributes". Allah is free from the negative attributes. Belief in Allah's Oneness is also belief in His actions. He can do whatever He wills and no one can repeal Allah's will, or do what He does.

The Divine Attributes of Allah the Most High is classified in two groups: the Divine Attributes of the Being of Allah (al Sifat al-Dhatiyyah) are six and the immutable of the Divine Essence of Allah (al-Sifat-al-Thubutiyyah) are eight.

What are the Divine Attributes of the Existence of Allah?

1- ) Al-Wujud (Allah is the Existing One). Human has limited intelligence and body. Mankind never understands How Allah is. You know Allah by His evidences and creation like the day and night; the sun and the moon; the heaven and the earth, and all that is there in and between them. If there is nothing in universe except atom, that is an evidence of existence of Allah.
2- ) Al-Qidam (He is the Pre-Eternal One). When anything is nonexistent, Allah exists.
3- ) Al-Baqah (He is the Everlasting One). Everything will die except Allah.
4- ) Al-Wahdaniyyah (He is the Unique One). The oneness of Allah is not as a number. Allah (The Only One Almighty) is unique- Allah has no partner, son, daughter, helper, mediator or competitor.

Jews Christians and those are who worship to fire, all of them believe Allah. But they don't belive Allah according to Islam. But when all of them had defined Allah, They made mistakes about defining Allah. Mushrik is an one who worship except Allah. Those are who are Mushrikun (unbelievers) never correctly know and recognize Allah unless they believed that Islam is only true way and unique order. Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) correctly introduce Allah. Christians attributed Jesus with attributes of Allah. And they worshipped and invoked Prophet Eisa as an ilah (worthy of worship). So they joined Prophet Eisa as a equal with Allah. Prophet Eisa (Jesus) is a Human. He had eaten, sleeped like the other living beings. He will die after descending before Doomsday. He and His mother are mortal. Prophet Eisa, mankind and angel are the creatures of Allah. Creatures can never be The Creator, The Knower of All, The All-Seeing, The Creator of All Power, The All Powerful. Prophet Eisa is a Muslim and Messenger of Allah.
TRINITY IS SHIRK. Shirk is the greatest sin in Islam. In Muslim's heart faith and shirk never together with each other. (Today, Trinity which Christians believed in, appeared after He raised to heavens. There aren't 3 gods. Trinity based on philosophy of Greek and idolatry. Trinity based on platonism. Trinity and is a erring and a falsehood. Unfourtunately, Most of men follow conjecture. )

They say: "Allah hath begotten a son!" - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrants have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not? (10:, 68)

The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah and the Christians call Eisa (Christ) the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (Qur'an, 9: 30)
Allah has no son, wife, daughter. Allah is free from penetrating. It is stated in the Surah of Al- Ikhlas:

1 Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; 2 Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; 4 And there is none like unto Him.

If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him! (Qur'an, 21: 22)
There is no Ilah (alone worthy of worship) and Rubb (Lord) Except Allah. Allah is The Creator who is The Only One Almighty. Allah is Owner of All: The King of the Kingdom.

He merges Night into Day, and he merges Day into Night, and he has subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law): each one runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allah your Lord: to Him belongs all Dominion. And those whom ye invoke besides Him have not the least power. (35: 13)

Muslim only invokes Allah. Mushrik invokes besides Allah. Your Creator is Allah. in that case, you alone worship, invoke and seek refuge in Allah. Christians and Jews are mushrik. (somene isin shirk)
Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped). (2: 22)

Allah command: And follow not that of which you have not the knowledge; surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these, shall be questioned about that. (17: 36)
And Allah said (O mankind!): "Take not ilâhaîn (two gods in worship, etc.). Verily, He (Allah) is (the) only One Ilâh (worthy of worship). Then, fear Me (Allah) much [and Me (Alone), i.e. be away from all kinds of sins and evil deeds that Allah has forbidden and do all that Allah has ordained and worship none but Allah] .(16,51)
Allah command his Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
Say: "O ye men! If ye are in doubt as to my religion, (behold!) I worship not what ye worship, other than Allah! But I worship Allah - Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers, (10: 104)

Those whom they (Mushrikoon) invoke besides Allah have not created anything, but are themselves created. (16:20)
(They are) dead, lifeless, and they know not when they will be raised up.(16: 21)
So put not forward similitudes for Allah (as there is nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything). Truly! Allah knows and you know not. (16:74)

74 Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Do you accept idols as Ilah (worthy of worship)? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."
75 So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.
76 When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."
77 When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Rubb (Lord) guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."
78 When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)."But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
79 "For me, I have set my face (He submitted his will to Absolute Will of Allah), firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah."
80 His people disputed with him. He said :"(Come) ye to dispute with me, about Allah, when He Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with Allah: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?
81 "How should I fear (the beings) ye associate with Allah, when ye fear not to give partners to Allah without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know. (6: 74-81). These verses are in English Translation of the meaning of Qur'an

5- ) Al-Mukhalafatun lil Khawadith (Allah is Unlike the Created). Allah is not imagined and thought by creatures in their own minds. Allah never look like creatures. There is nothing that even remotely resembles Him, for He is unique. Allah is free from way, being the direct opposite, changing, need for time and space, evil, incarnation, movement, side, physical and spiritual being, distance, nearness, gender, affinity etc. Eye, intelligence and mind are created by Allah. Divine attributes of Allah are eternal. Limited one never comprehend How Allah is. Allah is the Absolute, Independent and Self-Sufficient. Allah is above human qualities like dependence and need.
6- ) Al-Qiyam bi'nafsihi (Allah is the Self-Existing One). The Existence of Allah is never bound to anything. Allah is free from to be affiliated with anything.
What are the Immutable Attributes of the Divine Essence of Allah?
Al-Hayat (He is the Living and Resurrecting One), Al-Ilm ( He is the All-Knowing One: Allah the Most High knows everything to such an extent that He even knows the secret intentions of the heart), Al-Sami (He is the All-Hearing One: Allah the Most High hears everything), Al-Baseer ( He is the All-Seeing One: Allah the Most High can see a black ant crawling on a black rock in the dark of night and He can hear the sound of its moving limbs, Al-Iradhah ( He has Absolute Will: Allah the Most High has the quality of divine Determination so that He does whatever He wishes and in whatever manner He wishes), Al-Qudrah ( He is the Omnipotent, the Almighty One, and He has power over all things), Al-Qalam ( His manner of Speech is Unique to Him; Allah the Most High speaks without need of letters or sounds), Al-Taqwin ( He is the Creator from nothing of all things and beings).

DIVINE JUSTICE: Allah is Al-'Adl (He who is Equitable). The attribute of Allah is justice. He does not do injustice to anyone, nor does He deny anything beneficial to mankind. He does not resort to injustice because He does not need to, nor is He unaware of it. He created everything on the basis of justice and right. He does not order injustice, nor does He approve of it. He does not coerce man to do something then punish him for it, nor does He order man to do something beyond his ability. He does not leave people without reward or punishment. He sent the prophets and revealed Deen (religion) to save people and guide them to the right path (Islam) so that we would know how to obey and worship Him.
Allah's justice is manifested in everything. For example:
Creation: He does not do injustice to anyone in respect to His creation. He creates everything in justice and right. We can see this in the creation of the human body. He creates man in a way that he can live on earth, grants him hearing, sight, emotions, mentality, and the ability to move.
Destiny: Allah causes death, provision, events that befall man and everything else on the basis of justice. Man is compensated for the pains he suffers in this life, as willed by Him, by granting him more grace than the pains he sustained.
Obligations and Laws: Divine obligations and laws are distinguished by being just. Allah does not impose any duty on His servants above their abilities. So, all the obligations are within man's capability. The prominent manifestations of divine justice are the call to social equality, administration of justice between people, and fighting oppressors, for injustice is forbidden.
Freedom of Choice: Allah grants man the ability to choose. Man can choose freely for himself. He can do good by helping the poor, respecting parents, offering prayers, and discharging justice. He can also do evil like murder, alcohol and drug use, stealing, backbiting and slander, etc. Allah never forces anyone to do anything. If He did, man would not deserve rewards or punishment in proportion to his good and evil deeds. The repentance of Non-Muslims is Shahada (Confession of a Muslim).
Punishment and Reward in the Hereafter: The good and upright ones receive Allah's grace. The evil doers are punished according to their bad deeds. If this were not so, than the doer of good and the evil doer would be equal. This is injustice and Allah is incapable of injustice.
Everyone is responsible for his own deeds: Allah never punishes anyone for something someone else has done, except when he is the one who incites to evil. In this case he is an accomplice in the evil deed.

It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are evidences for people who believe. (6: 99)

Allah! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (There is no Ilah except Allah), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursî.]
