Dr. M. Sa'id Ramadan al-Buti (The Greatest Universal Sureties)
Dar El Fikr / Syria 2003 (modified)
Some might ask what is the need for a religion to worship the God through it? Why the God is asking us to worship Him through a specific religion; and why we should follow the religion beliefs and orders? Why don't this God leave His servants free to do what ever they want.. Why should I spent my life worshipping Him; He doesn't need my worship and it won't hurt Him?
To answer this:
When the God (Allah in Arabic) will was to create this universe; He decided to choose a kind of the creatures (Man) to be the master of this universe. This kind (Man) is to build and to organize this universe. This Man has the characteristics that enable this Man of doing this job. So, this Man has:
the Mind (science, perception, ability to analyze things...)
the Selfish meaning (desire in possession...)
the Power means (control, highness,..)
the Emotions to complete the previous characteristics (love, hate, angry,..)
Man can't build and organize this world (universe) without such characteristics. But these characteristics are a weapon of two sides; they can be good or bad. They are in reality some of the God's characteristics (not in the same way of course). So for the Man having such characteristics (capabilities), it would lead this Man to forgetting himself or herself. They can make him/her a tyrant on this earth... They can lead for bloody wars over the power and control. History testify for this talking.
So, these characteristics (capabilities) might became reasons for Man miserable instead of the real uses of them of building and organizing the universe. Based on this, there was a need for another power to direct these capabilities to the right way; a way where they can be useful for Man and the universe.
This power is the religion. Or, the right belief regarding Man, Universe, Life, and is after that.
The right belief (approved by mind and science) is: The belief in God and that He's One; There is no real power in this universe but His power; there is no Owner but Him; Every thing other than Him is a creature that owned by This God; This God watches His servants' acts (Man kind Acts); This God will bring this Man after death to ask him/her what they did in this life...
If one thinks of all these matters and believed in them (a belief based on Scientific Thinking & Research), s/he will have in the deep of his/her soul that s/he is a servant for this One Great God. These dangerous characteristics will be then important means to happiness for this Man and for the Humanity in the same way. All people then are brothers (equal) in serving the God rather than being enemies and competitors in the powers field.
The possessing desire then will be a mean for building welfare life and green lands...
The control and power desire then will be a mean for keeping rights and justice safe and defending them...
The education and perception desire then will be a mean for finding more of the services offered by this universe; so we can always remember the Existence of our God and that we should not disobey Him.
