Islam's first tenet as we call shahadah: There is no God but Allah is one and Prophet Muhammad(saw) is a messenger of truth. You see the first part of kalima "There is no God" is itself the testament to the concept of atheism. So each Muslim is atheist by virtue of the kalima. The holy Quran also said that we should not accept anything without proof and asked us to reason with others in dealing with affairs of life and as per Quran every life is precious except for justice. 1) There is no God - now question is what is Atheism? 2) Don't accept anything without proof. what is Science? 3) Reason with people. What is rationalism? 4) If spreading the wealth around means socialism then what is Jakat? 5) Give your surplus food to your neighbor then what is 401K? 6) Inheritance. What is women freedom? 7) Reverse dowry. 8) There is no compulsion in the way of life of Islam. What is freedom of speech, what is freedom religion, what is freedom from fear and what is freedom from wants(if jakat could be distributed properly) 9) Idea matters and Islam is just an idea and it means how to make peace. one can't have peace without freedom. To have freedom is to have peace. And war is not peace nor killing is peace either i.e., it is unislamic. And then if we analyze the word Allah and what is Allah in surah "Nur" ayat 35 of the holy Quran it is said: Allah is the Nur of the asman(i.e., as per Quran layers of skies but widely known as heaven in Christianity) and jamin(i.e earth). Now the question is what is the Nur. To figure out what is Nur is to figure out what is not Nur. For example, the sun's light in Arabic is Siraaj and the moon's reflected light in Arabic is Muneer. So we have Siraaj, Muneer and Nur to describe three different kinds of Lights. Now question is what is Nur? if we take siraaj and muneer from our mental picture what do we have left? The dark-matter, right? Allah does what It Wills. So the Nur is doing everything in place of Allah? What Quran says 1400 ago that Allah moves the sun, the moon and the earth but science has realized this simple truth in 1989 that it is indeed that the sun, the moon and the earth move its own orbit. Nur-the-dark-matter is consist of electromagnetic force by which everything move. Allah is a code-name or the unified theory of the Nature just as in scientific communities use the word science as an unit to unify everything in its hierarchy. Allah is the top hierarchy of the system of levels according to which a entire universe is organized. Everything was created by a brilliant flashes of lightening[thunder, big bang] and the sun the moon the earth, the human species, the animals and the plants were gradually evolved like pottery according to Quran and Darwin and others had plagiarized many things from the holy book of Quran which we are unaware of because we ourselves are not aware of such thing existed in Quran because we kept the Quran in the shelf. What is interesting is that even Quran says that we will keep the holy book in our shelves. 1) Those who think or has intellect to understand how the bees collect honey and return to its hives.[sura the bee] 2) We have sent down the iron which has many functions.[sura the iron]
3) Those who think how birds fly they will understand and you can't fly without authority.[it also from a sura but cant recall now] Do those verses indicate that we should look for another planet as we know that this earth will end and the moon will be swallowed by the sun? I don't know the answer but to those who we call infidels they are constantly looking for another planet and using the Nur's power just as the bees return home without having any radar or antenna. The word soul does not exist in Quran but nafs or nufs[pl] and ruh[the spirit] do. The Nufs and the Ruh are two different beings just as hair-line thin difference in between them. Ruh is a structure opposite in nature to the physical body. It is luminous, emitting rays of light[night vision camera sees the ruh of any living creature], living, dynamic, and permeating in all organs of the physical body. It has a delicate circulation and diffusion as of aroma in rose. There are many ways to characterize the nafs or nufs such as life, consciousness, psychic, ego, atmah, cognitive faculty, soul, database, repository where we keep our memories or words. The nufs along with language that has in our memory predetermines what we see; thus nafs with language in it constructs all reality. As an intellect person's nafs constructed based on one's deen[knowledge], as any deenless persons are evil in nature because the nufs of such persons become evil because lack of knowledge[deen] and a barren ground from which nothing springs except evil and in the spiritual world Allah's mercy evokes no response in the nafs[soul] of the one who has chosen evil. When any living creatures die, it means the nufs has become unconscious and the ruh goes to the Nur[i.e., ruh joins with formless Allah-the-Nur. And then we say verify we are from Allah and to Him we must return. So how the ruh was created? The origin of Ruh is from the lightening of Tremendous power of the Nur-the-Allah while the human body originates from clay. The Allah had ordained love between the two to enable them to accept the commands and the tribulation of the worldly life. So Ruh is a foreigner and the body is native of this materialistic world. Therefore be mindful towards this stranger.
