Who guides you in life?

The one who guides you in life is one that is remembered throughout life. They have shown you by guiding you from what to stay far away from, for it will harm you, causing you pain and suffering. Whether individually or as society we have those who prohibit us from doing certain action that will either harm us individually or society. The ones who guide you in life are just like us humans’ beings such as the government or family members, who sometimes go against what they prohibit others from doing and are themselves in need of guidance. In this paper I will show you that the best guide in life is the one who has created you, giving your life and guiding to that which is the  most good, Honorable, showing you individually how to protect yourself from society and how to protect society from the individual. This will be shown from the honored Quran the speech of Allah(god). keep in mind this Quran was send upon Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) one thousand and four hundred plus years ago, as the finial guide to he who follows the creator from any background ethnicity. Look at these five poisons and see how this guide of the creator will always be applicable in any year either in the past, present or the future.

    Prohibited is sexual immorality for individuals and society.

             "And (do) not go near adultery. Indeed, it is an immorality and (an) evil way.   (17,32)  " 

     sexual immorality is having sexual relationship with someone you are not married to. you will notice how the verse does not just say do not just have relationship with someone outside of marriage, but it says don't even come close to it. what is the consequence in doing this for the individual and society? It destroys families, when a wife finds out that her husband has had relationship with someone else, betraying the trust within them, they divorce. This leads to a broken family, leaving a motherless son or a fatherless daughter. This makes difficult for a mother alone to raise her children. Now look the countries where they praise a man and women to have affairs with another women or man, and their consequence. mostly those in jails are from broken house. These problems are not only harming individuals but the society as whole. Another verse reads 

    "The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment(24:2)".

    This verse shows you how to keep society function with good morals. The punishment for unmarried man sleeping with unmarried women has more to do humiliating them by having group of people witness the lashing, than lashing itself. Individual will think twice sleeping with someone's daughter for they would be unrighteous individual who is not following gods command. Today we see the consequence of promoting and praising a man who sleeps with multiple women who he is not married to. You see women aborting babies in the millions - killing them without mercy, not thinking of them as a human being. One of the reasons this happens is that the women get pregnant by a man who is not her husband who would have been there to support her and help raise the child in all difficulties with responsibility. They get pregnant by a man who is just there to fulfill his sexual desire. All praise belongs to Allah who has guided us to the straight path, showing us what is good for us.

prohibited is alcohol, drugs and gambling. 

    “O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, al-Ansaab [sacrifices for idols, etc.] and al-Azlaam [arrows for seeking luck or decision] are an abomination of Shaytaan’s handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful”[al-Maa’idah 5:90].     if you want to see how intoxicants just look at hospitals during Friday night. People because of working all week try to find happiness, get drunk on alcohol, either losing their lives or in a serious condition. If that is not the case, you will see them drunk driving causing accidents either taking innocent people's lives or putting someone in serious condition. will you want a society which allows alcohol, marketing it, and endangering the lives of your friends and family? likewise gambling where people get addicted to it , leading in losing your money, resulting on you being homeless or addiction which will leave you with no money.

     PROHIBITED lastly is interest dealing .

   "O you who believe! (Do) not eat Riba doubled, re-doubled. And consciously revere Allah so that you may (be) successful (Al-Quran 3/130)."

"Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein (Chapter 2 verse 275)."

“If you do not do so, then take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger. But, if you repent, you can have your principal. Neither should you commit injustice nor should you be subjected to it.”

                 Interest dealing has been forbidden in Islam so much that a war will be waged upon the Muslims who engage interest and the one who god wages war on will never succeed. He will be punished with eternal hellfire where one does not live nor die. interest takes advantage of those who are in need. imagine someone needs 1 bread, and you say to him, I will give one bread, but I will need two bread in return. This is exploiting the weakness of the weak, wanting gain more. there are countries where they are in debt so much because they were taking advantage of their neediness. there are homeless people on the streets because of interest think about that. look at what causes homeless it will be one of the five poison I mention    

     a Muslim who follows the teaching of Allah (god), can never be one who is on drugs, alcohol, gambling ,sexually immorality , and in debt because of interest dealings, for as long as individual and the society follow what Allah has commanded.

1.   Is he(Allah) who has created man not know what is good for his creation batter than the one created?
2.   will a Muslim follow his family, friends, government, for guidance when he has batter guide from his creator?
3.  Is it not batter to follow Allah and have the best of guidance in life than to follow the footsteps of your family or society? 

   "We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path(24:46)."
