🔻Is any action acceptable without monotheism?

Let’s start with this question;  Is prayer acceptable without ablution?
No. Of course, in order for Allah to accept your prayer, you must have ablution.

The same is true for monotheism. If you do not have monotheism, then prayer and fasting will not benefit you. Allah will not accept any act of worship without monotheism.

The disbelievers of previous times worshiped Allah but they worshiped without monotheism, so Allaah did not accept it from them. If we look at this verse, we know that they also worshiped Allah:

| أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ | (التوبة : ١٩)


“Do you think that watering the pilgrims and rebuilding the Haram  Mosque which is Kaaba , is like believing in Allah and the Last Day and fighting in the way of Allah?”  They are not equal in the sight of Allah, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

There are many other proofs in the Qur'an, Sunnah and the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).  They are also fighting over who will replace the black stone!!  Until the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and told them to take each side and put it back in its place;  I'm sure you've all heard this story.

So I ask, isn't this worship for Allah?  So Allah took that from them?  Of course not;  Therefore, please do not ignore monotheism and think that you will be saved only by prayer and fasting

(لا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ)
لم يغلق بابه، لم يسدل حجابه، لم ينتهِ فضله، لم ينقطع حبله.

"Do not despair of the mercy of Allah."
His door is never closed, His veil is never drawn, His bounty never ends, and His connection is never severed.


(أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ)
يكفيه ما أهمه وأغمه، يحميه ممن كاد له، يحفظه ممن مكر به.

"Is Allah not sufficient for His servant?"
He relieves his servant of his worries and grief, protects him from those who scheme against him, and guards him from those who deceive him.


(فَابْتَغُوا عِندَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ)
فعنده الخزائن، ولديه الكنوز، وهو الجواد المنّان الفتّاح العليم.

"So seek provision from Allah."
For with Him are the treasures, in His hand are the riches, and He is the Generous, the Bestower, the Opener, the All-Knowing.


﴿وَمَن يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ﴾
يكشف كربه، ويغفر ذنبه، ويهدي طريقه، ويسدد خطاه.

"And whoever believes in Allah – He will guide his heart."
He removes his servant's distress, forgives his sins, guides his path, and steadies his steps.


﴿اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ﴾
كنتم أمواتاً فأحياكم، وضُلالاً فهداكم، وجهلة فعلّمكم، ومستضعفين فنصركم.

"Remember the favor of Allah upon you."
You were dead and He gave you life, lost and He guided you, ignorant and He taught you, weak and He supported you.

Quran

And whoever fears God - He will make for him a way out.
Abandon backbiting, for there is no good in a house that devours the flesh of people.
Abandon singing and musical instruments, for they are the flutes of Satan, blocking the heart from the light of heaven.
Cultivate modesty and chastity in dress and speech, for immodesty is a gateway to God's wrath.

One of the righteous was asked, "What is the secret of the serenity that has overtaken you?"

He replied, "I read, 'He directs the affair.'"
So I left my affair to the Master of the affair.

I read, "Indeed, with hardship comes ease."

I was certain that hardship would inevitably pass.

I read, "What then do you think of the Lord of the worlds?"

I realized that God's goodness was inevitably coming.

۝And whose religion is better than one who submits his face to Allah while being a doer of good?۝

If you were to present Islam to the most perfect of minds, they would find it excellent, or to the purest of human natures, they would find it agreeable. Yet, no religion has ever attained its perfection, nor has any law attained its perfection.

O Allah, in You we have believed, to You we have submitted, and to You we have turned.

مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطۡلِعَكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَلَكُمۡ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ (179)

[آل عمران ١٧٩]

•••••——————▪️▪️——————-•••••
Allah would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allah reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allah chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.

۝Read in the name of your Lord who created۝

The first revelation to the Messenger ﷺ, the first cry launched by Islam, emphasized the value of knowledge and its lofty status.

O God, increase our knowledge and benefit us with what You have taught us.

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁...

يَـا لَـيْـتَـنِي كُـنـتُ تُـرَابًـا

Oh, I wish I were dust!
(سورة النبأ: ٤٠)

يَـا لَـيْـتَـنِـي قَـدَّمْـتُ لِـحَـيَـاتِـي

Oh, I wish I had sent ahead (some good) for my life.
(سورة الفجر: ٢٤)

يَـا لَـيْـتَـنِـي لَـمْ أُوتَ كِـتَـابِـيَـهْ

I wish that I had not been given my Record!
(سورة الحاقة: ٢٥)

يَـا وَيْـلَـتَـى لَـيْـتَـنِـي لَـمْ أَتَّـخِـذْ فُـلَانًـا خَـلِـيـلًا

Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend!
(سورة الفرقان: ٢٨)

يَـا لَـيْـتَـنِـي اتَّـخَـذْتُ مَـعَ الـرَّسُـولِ سَـبِـيـلًا

If only I had taken the same path as the Messenger.
(سورة الفرقان: ٢٧)

يَـا حَـسْـرَتَـى عَـلَـى مَـا فَـرَّطـتُ فِـي جَـنـبِ الـلَّـهِ

Oh, (how great is) my regret over what I neglected...
(سورة الزمر: ٥٦)

So do not wait for the Day when regret will be of no use and excuses will not save you. Return to Allah now — while the door of tawbah is wide open, while your heart still beats, while your tongue can still remember Him, and while your limbs can still act. For a time will come when the soul will plead for just one more chance — but the chance will never return.

And say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

Knowledge is a blessing from God, and the path to attaining it is not only through diligence but also through supplication. This indicates that no matter how much knowledge a believer attains, he or she will always need to increase it.

O God, teach us what will benefit us, benefit us with what You have taught us, and increase our knowledge.

❀ Quranic_Reflections ❀

Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) said:

If you read (the Qur'an) with contemplation, even if over a (single) ayah, it is a key to healing your heart. Even if repeated a hundred times and for the (whole) night. Reading an ayah with contemplation and understanding is better than reading to completion without tadabbur and understanding. It is more beneficial for the heart and ensures gain in faith, and in tasting sweetness of the Qur'an.

Miftaah Daar as-Sa’adah, 553/1]

By the pen and what they inscribe.

God Almighty swears by the pen, which is the tool for knowledge and the preservation of knowledge, and by the truths and sciences that are written with it. This indicates the great importance of knowledge and writing, and that they are a means of preserving religion, reason, and memory throughout the ages.

O God, make our pens and tongues witnesses for us, not against us, and write with them that which brings us closer to You and pleases You with us.

Qurān 2:186

When My servants ask you about Me, say that I am near. I respond to the call of one who calls, whenever he calls to Me: let them, then, respond to Me, and believe in Me, so that they may be rightly guided.
