“DECEIVING WITH GOD” - 3

“DECEIVING WITH GOD” - 3

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO RIGHTLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE OF "DECEIVING WITH ALLAH"?

One of the MOST IMPORTANT truths that history conveys to the ear of our conscience is this: 

Almost all the blood shed by humanity throughout history is blood shed in the name of religion and billed to religion. 

In other words, RELIGIONS have also been recorded as hotbeds of violence and terror where bloodshed was encouraged and, from time to time and place to place, TURNED INTO AN ACT OF WORSHIP. 

The greatest wars in history are those fought under the banner of "FOR GOD / IN THE NAME OF GOD." The first meaning of this is as follows: 

The easiest and most abundant way to shed blood is to CLAIM THAT IT FLOWS AND IS SHED FOR GOD / FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, and to make those who shed and will shed this blood believe in this claim. Therefore, we can easily say: 

The ONLY REMEDY that will lead to success in overcoming all the spiritual and social negativities that can be based on religion is to stop the DECEPTION WITH ALLAH.

It is as absurd as trying to operate the laws of existence in reverse to think that societies that cannot prevent religious life from turning into the cruelty and treason of DECEIVING WITH ALLAH will not suffer from religion-induced cruelties and, in the meantime, the affliction of religion-induced terror. 

Even in a matter of life and blood like terror, DECEPTION WITH ALLAH is used in all stages, from financing carried out through the exploitation of religion to providing suicide terrorists. 

You cannot make someone carry out the suicide dive into the NEW YORK TWIN TOWERS with any tool other than DECEPTION WITH ALLAH. 

Who is in the political background of the event is the secondary issue. There may be those carrying Muslim identity cards in the political background, as well as identities completely opposed to Islam.

The Qur'an sees DECEPTION WITH ALLAH in the background of religion being stripped of being an institution of love, affection, mercy, and sharing, and turned into an institution of blood and hatred. 

The Qur'an wants to say that if GOD, who is the main pillar of making deceptions and delusions INEFFECTIVE, is introduced into life with the exact opposite function and made the instrument of the exact opposite purpose (that is, IF MADE THE INSTRUMENT OF BEING DECEIVED), religion also begins to produce the exact opposite of what is expected from it. 

Hatred instead of love, anger instead of affection, cruelty instead of mercy, exploitation instead of sharing, despotism and hegemony instead of free will...

Let's speak more clearly: 

Unless we recognize "DECEPTION WITH ALLAH" PROPERLY AND UPRIGHTLY, we cannot build a happy and beautiful world. 

It is impossible for societies that have not unmasked DECEPTION WITH ALLAH to find peace. 

It has not been possible throughout history, and it will not be possible from now on. 

In societies DECEIVED WITH ALLAH, for a happy world, THE USE OF THE GOOD BY ALLAH on earth is prevented; for an unhappy world, THE USE OF ALLAH BY THE WICKED (that is, making Allah a justification, cover, and excuse for their wickedness) gains validity.

The Italian thinker Giordano Bruno (d. 1600), who was one of those who knew this truth well and was a child of a geography that suffered the WRATH OF THE CATHOLIC INQUISITION, said so beautifully:

"God uses the GOOD PEOPLE on earth to make His own will dominate; the WICKED PEOPLE on earth, however, USE GOD to make their own will dominate."

This means that: 

In a religion-centered society, the mass consists of three types of people as a main heading:

1. Those who constantly produce goodness and beauty although they do not pursue hegemony in the name of Allah and religion (and even make no claims in the name of Allah),
2. Those who constantly produce evil and injustice although all their claims are in the name of Allah,
3. The herd of grass that passes the day by eating and drinking without producing anything.

Bruno certainly knew these. 

He had dedicated his struggle primarily to recognizing the "EVIL PRODUCERS" in the 2nd group and, if possible, warning them. 

He paid a very heavy price for the honor and eternity that his struggle brought him: 

He was BURNT ALIVE in Rome on the grounds that he criticized the Catholic Church and the clergy (men of religion). 

The children of the mentality that burned him buried his ashes with a ceremony in later times and built a monumental tomb in his name. 

What good does it do!

The only remedy to prevent being deceived with Allah is to block the ways leading to deception with Allah. If we detail this main remedy a little, we encounter the following three sub-headings:

1. To learn the truth of religion, to know and make known the fake religion as the worst of irreligiousness. To explain and teach with importance and insistence that it is preferable to remain without religion rather than living a fake religion.
2. To stop religion from being made an instrument of sovereignty and politics, that is, to take secularism as a basis.
3. To remove religiosity, which should only be a measure of value between Allah and human, from being a measure of value between humans.

Let us also not forget: 

Deception with Allah should not be thought of only as a deception concocted from within religion. 

Allah is made an instrument of deceptions from outside religion at least as much as this "internal" deception. 

Today's Muslim world is mostly the target and arena of this second type of deception. 

The "RELIGIONIST/BIGOTED terror", for which they bring water from forty rivers to call it "Islamic terror", is also essentially a sector concocted by those who deceive from the "outside". 

A terror whose employers are non-Muslims, but whose workers are always Muslims... 

In short, as Muslims of every race, color, and language, we have been DECEIVED WITH ALLAH for centuries. 

The days we live in are the time slice when this deception process is at its most intense.
