Why would God reject the sacrifice made for God?
1. The sacrifice was made for other than the glory of God (glory of self, for example).
2. The sacrifice was made by instructions other than the instruction of God.
3. Worst of all, the sacrifice joined partners of worship with God.
It's easy to know what Allah instructs and commands, just study the Qur'an. In Islam, you can't have a "mission" then bypass the Qur'an, preferring the opinions of humans. If you are sincere in mastering the Qur'an, then God will reward you. If you are not sincere, then don't blame anyone else but yourself. In the end, those who deserve and those who don't, and every course of our actions has been preordained, that's just how Powerful Allah is. Do you have faith in that, or do you care? The stories related in the Qur'an are not "opinions" or "interpretations". The stories in the Qur'an happened, happen, and happen over and over again. The righteous brother allowed himself and opened himself up to be killed by his brother. If that were my situation, I don't think I could do that. I guess I'm not that righteous. I have loved ones to protect, and people who rely on me for their livelihood.
We don't get ravens around these here parts, just a lot of crows. However, I've seen enough ravens in my life to know the difference between a raven and a crow. I saw a raven enjoying a meal in my yard on August 25, 2015. Hee hee, I blogged that 😁. I saw another one some time earlier, which I didn't blog (or can't find the blog). It was perched on the edge of the dumpster, enjoying a meal. I love ravens, they were very friendly to me but I didn't get a chick from them like I had hoped. But few people care about the difference between ravens and crows, anyway. A large black bird. "GAGAK".
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
1. Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn,
2. From the mischief of created things,
3. From the mischief of darkness, as it overspreads,
4. From the mischief of those who practise secret arts,
5. And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy."
The Daybreak 113:1-5
