Lets numerate these.
I contend that all of these can be split into two categories: worthless, and known long before someone claimed that "God told me so."
Numbers 1 and 9 are worthless. You can be a good person without any devotion to a god or fulfillment of their dogma.
Numbers 2 and 3 are worthless. These things come naturally. It is only natural for a child to love their parents and to love their family. Making a rule out of it makes a mockery of that love. There is no love where there is obligation.
Numbers 5 and 7 are worthless. Murder by definition is unlawful killing. It doesn't say that all killing of people is wrong. The question is then, well when is it right? And we are given no such wisdom. But apparently infidels have it coming...
Number 4 is worthless for a similar reason. Don't spend my money worthlessly? Thanks for the tip.
We are left with 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12. Such wisdom has existed since time immemorial, long before anybody could conceive that we may have been created instead of born. Adultery is the enemy of most any loving relationship between people. Jealousy and heartbreaking a feeling that is apparent even amongst our pets. Caring for orphans is another natural feeling, one that doesn't need to be mandated. It is only natural to feel sympathy for children left behind by the untimely passing of their parents.
Ever since people began to barter and trade, dishonesty in trade has been abhorred, number 11 imparts no new wisdom. Tells us nothing we didn't know millenia before the Quran. Similarly, ever since we donned clothing, we have sought to have our privacy. That we may do our harmless things in peace and be left alone. Nobody needs to be told that espionage is harmful to the individual.
To be so proud of a work of man as to kill other people for besmirching it, very few people need to be told that this is wrong. That this is inhumane.
Very few people need to be told this. But apparently some people do.
The Ten Commandments in the Quran
These Commandments in the Torah of Ezra came special for your neighbor and your kindred, while in the Quran it came general for all people not only for your neighbor and kindred.
The Ten Commandments In The Quran
The Admonition in the Quran
Very strange indeed that a man pertaining to science thinks in such a way: these are the most high morale for all humanity to follow, which God Himself wrote in the stony tablets for his servant Moses.
Then such commandments were affirmed in the Gospel, then enjoined in the Quran.
God Himself had said such commandments before the Quran as did He say it in the Quran.
The atheist does not agree about the First Commandment that God is One without associate, because he does not say about God's existence.
Then, according to him, the rest of the commandments are not worthy : the parents should be honored, and the man should not be murdered and his wealth not stolen.
This is not correct: such words are easy to be said by tongue, but practically the disbeleiver contradicts all these commandments in reality. You see him, although most of them say they apply such commandmentsm, you see him shout at the parents, steal when opportunity comes, and may participate in wars to kill people.
I assert this and this is in the Quran
107: 1-3
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ .فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ . وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
The explanation:
(Have you considered him who denies 'the punishment and the reward' [in the afterlife.]
It is he who thrusts the orphan [away from his rights.]
And never urges [people] to feed the needy.)
And there was a man: a disbelieve, and idol worshipper; he said: If there is any Paradise in the afterlife, I should be admitted to this Paradise, because I expended a lot of money (but he spent that on his mistress)
And these ayat 90: 5-20 were revealed concerning him:
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ . يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا . أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ . أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ . وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ . وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ . فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ . وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ . فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ . أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ . يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ . أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ . ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ . أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ . وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ . عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ .
The explanation:
(Does he think none is more powerful than he is? [Are not the angels more powerful?]
Saying [to his people]: "I have expended abundant wealth [in charity.]"
Does he think none [of Our angels who record the words and work of people] has
seen him [when he expended that wealth on his beloved woman, but not for the poor?]
Have We not appointed to him two eyes,
And a tongue, and two lips,
And acquainted him about the two ways [of the truth and the falsehood]?
But he cannot assault the steep [in order to enter into Paradise.]
But do you know what [work, makes him worthy of assaulting] the steep?
[It is] to free a slave or a captive.
Or to feed in the time of starvation:
An orphan of the relatives.
Or a poor man who sits in the dust [from poverty.]
In addition to be one of those who believe and advise each other to be steadfast,
and advise each other to be merciful.
Such will have 'success and happiness' [in Paradise.]
But those who unbelieve in Our revelations will receive [after their death] the bad
omen [of the chastisement.]
A fire will be closed over them.)
NB: One of my friends said this true statement:
When a man believes he will be among the best of mankind; he is the same man, but when he believes he will be one of the best of mankind, and when this man disbelieves he will be one of the worst of mankind: God purifies him when he believes. :thumbup:
