This is my way: I call to God alone, with insight derived from the Quran and its interpretation; so according to God's guidance I will never say my own words unless they coincide and agree with the interpreter's word, and will not contradict him even a little bit.
Quran 9: 32, which means:
{They [: Jews, Christians and pagan Arabs] desire to put out the light [: the Quran] of God, with [the falsehood words of] their mouths a, but God insists to perfect His light [to Muslims, by means of Mohammed] though the unbelievers are averse.}
...............................................................
a i.e. By saying their lies and by hindering people from God's religion: the religion of the Islam. The 'light' here means: the Quran.
Really? That's kind of.....sad. You won't say your own words unless
they are the same as this other characters, and will not contradict
him even a little bit? In the world of '
what if's'....what if this guy is
wrong? What if his interpretation is wrong at times, and thus not
the the word of of your God, but this guy's interpretation of the
interpretation of the guy who actually listened to Muhammad who
was interpreting your God's word as he whispered in Muhammad's
ear?
Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly is just an other man like you or I,
and the guy who listened to Muhammad was just another man like
you or I, and none of us are infallible. Maybe this Muhammad the
Prophet was more of a man in your world view than you or I, but
wasn't he also illiterate....so that he couldn't write down your Gods
word directly? He'd have to rely on others to hopefully record what
he claimed he was told by your God correctly....
It's like the game of telephone. One kid whispers in the ear of another,
who leans over to repeat that in the ear of another, and it goes around
the circle. The last one states out loud what he was told, and it's
usually nothing even close to what the original world was. That's one
hell of a hill to live and die on. To each their own though.
The reason for the decline of Muslims, and their future glory:
"The religion of the Islam prevailed and became high
for seven centuries; and believers took possession of countries and overcame the nations of disbelievers, when Muslims followed the straight path and the true religion.
But when they changed and increased in luxury and in the rapture with music and the alike, and they drank the wine, committed fornication; then God gave the Tatar a power over them; so they killed, lowered and humiliated them, tore their books and destroyed their mosques; and that was in the time of the last of the kings of Abbasid Caliphs.
Since then, Muslims started to decline and lower down, till they became enslaved to Christians and others
for seven centuries also. [so the total will be 1400 years: 14 centuries]
But after suffering the pain of enslavement and the bitterness of life, they begged God and complained to Him about their humiliation and their difficulties; so God answered their prayer and started to free them from the hand of imperialists.
And Muslims will also have happiness [dignity and prosperity], by the hand of the Mahdi [i.e. the Paraclete], and they will have the high hand [also
for the next seven centuries]; and
the Islam religion will prevail over all religions."

Which Islam are you wanting to prevail over all religions? The religion
of Islam in Afghanistan in the '60's & '70's.....or the religion of Islam in
Afghanistan in the last decade or so?
