100% Pure, 100% Quality: Allah

100% Pure?


Would you drink 100% pure mineral water or mineral water mixed with 0.00000000001% of tap water?

It is natural for us to seek "perfection", purity, in the things we eat, drink, hence even in our relationship with others; sometimes we expect people to be perfect.

For example, it is said that blackcurrants that are made into Ribena ARE CHECKED 30 TIMES before a final selection is made. Why is there such a tedious and careful procedure?

To ensure quality, perfection, purity, and 'deriving natural, 'organic' goodness (instead of artificial, genetically-engineered products which have proven to be dangerous).

So, what is THE BEST 'thing', full of quality, perfection, purity, and contains 100% natural, 100% safe goodness?

From the Holy Qur'an, Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172:

And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves, (saying): Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes, verily. We testify. (That was) lest ye should say at the Day of Resurrection: Lo! of this we were unaware; (172) 

 The answer is, The Creator: Allah

 Allah is free from any type, or kind of portion of imperfection we are able to imagine.


But we are not as 'obsessed' with Allah, as we are with anything else we claim to be interested in. Furthermore, it may even be a crime or somewhat of anomaly to be obsessed with Allah. You can be obsessed with fictitious novels, animated movies, movie stars, etc, but to be obsessed with Allah, always be talking about Allah and inviting people towards Allah is a specific profession; not just for any plain Muslim.

Some people are so afraid to open their mouths to talk about Allah, like it's some kind of sin to be talking about Allah. Well, we should be careful of what we say (are we totally ignorant that we can't even say; Allah is One?), but not to the extent of being totally fearful of talking about Allah, yet being totally fearless of always being in love with other things. 

This is a wrong type of fear.


In fact, the Qur'an tells us of people who spread lies and make up 'fictitious facts' about Allah, and then Allah tells us that Allah's purity does not change a bit because of what they say:


Surah Al-Kahf, verse 4 and 5:
And to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son, (4) (A thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) their fathers, Dreadful is the word that cometh out of their mouths. They speak naught but a lie.
