Islam is not at all our wishes, our desires and self-justifications according to Quran.

Honestly, today's topic has got me moving. I thought having a luxerious life, fitting my needs here in the world is alright. I can live a Normal life just like anybody else. But as I read this miraculous book it has gotten heavy on me. Because in today's subject, Allah (swt) has made it crystal clear. If I follow my wishes and desires, I will know and so will my Allah (swt) know. There is no need to justify our actions by molding Quran. It is not a book that has to be modified. This world is black and white, just by understanding the principle listed below.

Ayat 67 - 73, Slaughter a Cow

Bani Israel commits a murder and they are told to slaughter a Cow to find our about killer. They first laugh at Musa (as). Just like Normal people. Then they ask about how it looks, weather it is virgin, can it plough in field, what does it look like, all cows look a like, please help us. Allah (swt) clarifiyed each question turn wise. They made their own life hell difficult by questioning the will of Allah (swt). Now they find the Cow and finally slaughter it.

At least they slaughtered? May be we will say they slaughtered and they are free from the Crime. But then Allah (swt) tells the type of stones.

Ayat 74, Types of stones

I count it as type of hearts. Because in the starting of the verse Allah (swt) says "Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder." So there are different kind of hearts.

1. from which rivers burst forth. Some hearts turn to rivers. They build villages, cities and nations. People come and settle near these stones. They are the source of water (truth). The best people who are most beloved to Allah (swt).

2. from them some split open and water comes out. The people who are a source of truth but little. They need guidance and when they get guided they give out truth and inspire people to follow them. These people are also truthful and are liked by Allah (swt) but not as much as those who give out light like rivers flowing out of them. They shine but not much.

3. fall down for fear of Allah. Then there are those who do not listen. They forbid the command. Take Allah (swt) teachings light. Believe Allah (swt) is all mercy and all linient and will forgive them. They can go their own paths and yet Allah (swt) will forgive them just because they are from Prophet (pbuh) ummah. That they want to enjoy the fruits of life to its fullest and hold on to the wills and wishes of their ancestors. And expect Allah (swt) will guide them to Paradise. They will be protected. So these people will fall like a stone in front of Allah (swt) from His fear. Allah (swt) likes these people also, but when they are going about following their own wishes, they are the worst kind. But still they are not the stones who never subjugate to Allah (swt).

Even worse stones. Who do not subjugate to Allah (swt) ever. And they do not harm anyone else but themselves.

Ayat 75 - 78, Bani Israel and Muhammad (PBUH)

Quran comes to people of Islam. They spread the truth. In the way, comes Bani Israel. They take the orders. Distort it. Act like they are part of Islam. And when they go back to their community, they alter it to their needs. They do not listen to orders. But when some of them argue with muslims to prove Quran's meaning is not as Muslims take it, they fell in to bigger conflicts. So in their communities, they advice people who indulge into arguments with muslims, to avoid it. It is not required. Because they inside their hearts knew, Muhammad (saw) is a Prophet and arguing with Muslims will only disclose them more. They wont be able to practice their cultural practices. Like they wont be able to have a Mehndi function at their daughter's marriage. But Allah (swt) concludes, that it is all their own wishful thinking. In real they are listening to their ancestors and not Quran. They are only bending the truth to fit their needs. They know crystal clear what is right and yet they stick with wrong.
