Salamun 'Alaykum,
Peace      be upon you

Since Satan can not enslave Free people, his scheme is to usurp the freedoms gradually untill the individual has no choice but to surrender. He decieves us by developing fake systems that look good but is evil. For example, the nation-state is nothing but a tool to violate the individual freedom, instead of being a responsible human being, choosing for myself, now my representative (whom i don't even know) is choosing for me, and even this "elected" representative doesn't have any real effect on the country's choices, since only a few elite can actually choose. Why did this happen? it all began with destroying the community, Satan literally dragged us to large jungle-cities to desensitize our sense of community, large buildings where the neighbors don't know each other, vast malls, big streets, where anything can happen, and anyone can sin freely with no regard for the missing-community! And in this jungle-world there is no need for families, the parents are working day and night with little time to take care of their children. In Satan's world, the visible is the priority, so free sex is stripped of love, and marriage became based on an illusion of gratification, that quickly fades leading the two transgressors to divorce, the high divorce rate and low marriage rate is because of losing the meaning (love) and seeking sensual pleasures only. The children then get indoctrinated by the education system into conforming with Satan's hierarchy (through training them to accept the information in the books without questioning), Satan divides the people into masters and slaves, those who have the authority and money are acting like masters while those who haven't, perform the role of the slaves. In Satan's world, you have only two choices, either to be an agressive master or a complying slave. But perhaps the biggest trick is to steal the real jobs from the individual, in the land of God, every community should be self-sufficient, which means that God provides it with enough provisions for survival and more, then why the people are starving? this imbalance resulted i believe from two main reasons, 1- restricting and distorting the movement and the flow of people throughout the land of God (by developing fake borders, big cities), 2- the developement of organizations (governments and corporations big and small) that violate the balance of resources on the earth and furthermore steal the real productive work from the inviduals along with the markets, thus driving them into accepting "fake" meaningless, unproductive work to survive. (e.g: stock markets, the entertainment industry). In the land of God, the "unseen" meanings and feelings are given the priority, since a belief in them is equal to belief in the hereafter (which is the unseen dimension of absolute values, righteous meanings and feelings). The artificial fake world doesn't stop there, in order to indoctrinate the individual into surrendering his responsbility (freedom of choice) Satan has another long arm, the religious institutions. In the kingdom of God, in the real world there are no religious institutions, since the community itself fulfills this role. However in the fake world there must be some illusion to give the people a fake sense of fulfilment, thus the individual again surrenders his reponsbility (his personal relation with God) in the hope that the professional religionists will take care of it. Also to brain-wash us into accepting the hierarchy, Satan came up with the idea of "the infallibles", a category of hybrid creatures (man and god in the same time) why? because Satan can't enslave any people without "elevating" some others above them, above all humanity, thus Buddha, Muhammad, Ezra, Jesus and the saints (also the professional living religionists) became gods whether willingly or unwillingly. [9:31] They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords, instead of GOD. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners. Instead of "You are responsible", Satan says "they are responsible". Instead of "You are equal", Satan says "you are better or less than him". All these systems feed into the original doctrine of Satan, a hierarchy of masters and slaves, where the people are not equal as God created them, but are ranked into masters and slaves, since Satan can not enslave anybody unless this individual accepts to play along (as an arrogant controlling master or an apathetic servile slave). [14:21] When they all stand before GOD, the followers will say to the leaders, "We used to follow you. Can you spare us even a little bit of GOD's retribution?" They will say, "Had GOD guided us, we would have guided you. Now it is too late, whether we grieve or resort to patience, there is no exit for us." Few refuse to play along, refuse to conform with transgression, and because of that they get oppressed, oppression is Satan's weapon to enforce his hierarchy on the human beings and force them into submission to him instead of God, it ranges from bullying, intimidation to verbal and physical attacks. Know that everyday you have a choice to step out of Satan's kingdom, by enjoining yourself from sinful lusts, by not harboring any doubts about God's absolute authority, by not being afraid or obsessed with anything or anyone, by remembering God always, putting your trust in Him alone, seeking Him alone for help and provisions. To the oppressed on earth: Step 1: Steadfastly persevere while fighting/standing up for your rights. [42:39] When gross injustice befalls them, they stand up for their rights. [4:12] "Why should we not trust in GOD, when He has guided us in our paths? We will steadfastly persevere in the face of your persecution. In GOD all the trusters shall trust." Step 2: Emigrate when God gives you a way out. [16:41] Those who emigrated for the sake of GOD, because they were persecuted, we will surely make it up to them generously in this life, and the recompense of the Hereafter is even greater, if they only knew. Step 3: Steadfastly persevere . [16:110] As for those who emigrate because of persecution, then continue to strive and steadfastly persevere, your Lord, because of all this, is Forgiver, Most Merciful. --------------------------------------------------------------- Victory is near. [24:55] GOD promises those among you who believe and lead a righteous life, that He will make them sovereigns on earth, as He did for those before them, and will establish for them the religion He has chosen for them, and will substitute peace and security for them in place of fear. All this because they worship Me alone; they never set up any idols beside Me. Those who disbelieve after this are the truly wicked.
