“AL-NUR” - THE LIGHT, IS A SCRIPTURE IN THE QURAN, THAT EXEMPLIFIES THE PROGRESSIVE ENLIGHTENMENT AND EVOLVEMENT OF ISLAM, THAT IS ENCOURAGED TO ALL MUSLIMS.
“THE QURAN IS HANDED DOWN TO YOU….. DEGREE BY DEGREE…..”
AS AN AMERICAN MUSLIM, I SEEK TO REMIND US ALL OF THE NEED FOR ECCUMENICAL PHILOSOPHIES OF NON-DISCRIMINATION AND RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE FORMS.
MUSLIMS MUST REMEMBER, THAT WE WERE ADVISED “DO NOT DIVIDE YOURSELVES INTO SECTS”. BUT WE ARE DIVIDED, NOT ONLY FROM OUR OWN FULL POPULATION OF MUSLIMS, BUT FROM THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF THE WORLD’S NON-MUSLIMS, WHO BELIEVE, OBEY AND WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.
WE ARE DIVIDED BY OUR LOYALITY, TO THE PROPHET THAT GAVE US THE INSPIRATION TO “BELIEVE”, AND WE ARE DIVIDED BY SEVERAL DISAGREEMENTS OF EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL “BELIEVE” IN.
BUT, THE “FOUNDATION”, OF “ALL” THOSE BELIEFS, IS FROM THE DIVINE WORD OF THE “SAME” CREATOR.
WE MUST RESIST THE INCLINATION TOWARD DISCRIMINATION AND ACCEPT THAT WE ARE ALL OF THE SAME FOUNDATION AND THE SAME CREATOR. IN THE MAJORITY OF THAT “ACCEPTANCE” LIES OUR PEACE AND OUR BROTHERHOOD.
WHAT EVER DIFFERENCES ARE CITED, IN SPECIFIC DISCORD OF INTERPRETATION OR FUNDAMENTALS OF PRACTICE, MAY BE RELEGATED TO A DIFFERENCE IN THE TIMES AND PRACTICES OF THE SEPARATE PROPHETS, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH.
BUT “ALL” THE PROPHETS TAUGHT THE LAWS, OF THE SAME GOD. AND WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO ACCEPT THEM “ALL”, WITHIN THE PILLARS OF ISLAM…BY RECITING, “I BELIEVE IN “ALL” THE PROPHETS”.
THIS INCLUDES NOT ONLY MOHAMMAD, LEADER OF THE MUSLIMS, BUT ALSO ABRAHAM AND MUSA (MOSES), LEADER OF THE JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND CATHOLICS (ALTHOUGH THE JEWS REASSEMBLED THEMSELVES UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT GUIDANCES OF THE TALMUD OF JUDAH AND CONTINUED IN THE OLD COVENANT INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING THE 2ND COVENANT OF JESUS, PROPHET OF THE QURAN) SO ISA (JESUS) REMAINED LEADER OF THE CHRISTIANS AND CATHOLICS, AND A PROPHET OF THE QURAN.
MUSLIMS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN MERGING OR FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF ANYONE EXCEPT PROPHET MOHAMMAD AND THAT IS A CORRECT ATTITUDE, FOR MOHAMMAD TOLD THEM TO BELIEVE IN THE PROPHETS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM.
THEY ARE ALSO NOT PUSHING TO HAVE ANYONE DROP THEIR CURRENT RELIGION AND ACCEPT ISLAM. THIS CANNOT BE FORCED, “LET THERE BE NO ‘COMPULSION’ IN YOUR RELIGION….”, - AL-QURAN. BUT MEMBERS, FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF THEIR OWN SEPARATE PROPHET, WILL ALL MEET AT THE ENTRY OF THE GATES OF PARADISE, IN THE SAME HEAVEN.
VISIT, WITH ME A TRIP TO THE LANDS OF THE “DECENDANTS OF THE ANCIENTS”, TO SEE WHERE THEY COME FROM AND GET TO LOVE THEM AS I DO.

WITH THIS INFORMATION TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND EVERYONE’S EYES ,TO THE FLOWING, TIMELESS CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE THREE MAJOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS, I HOPE TO BREAK DOWN WALLS AND DISRESPECT, THAT HAS EVOLVED THROUGH IGNORANCE OF ONE TO THE OTHER’S PHILOSOPHIES AND SPIRITUAL MOTIVATIONS.
WHAT WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH, IS TO HAVE THE JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND CATHOLICS “BELIEVE” IN MOHAMMAD, AS THE PROPHET WHO REVEALED THE WORD OF GOD TO THE MUSLIMS.
THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE JOINT PIETY AND KNOWLEDGE, OF THE MUSLIMS, WHO ACCEPTED THE LAWS OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND OF MOHAMMAD AND ARE OBEDIENT TO THAT WORD.
THEY NEED TO ACCEPT THAT ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE STORIES, IN THE QURAN, ARE THE SAME AS THOSE IN THE TORAH AND BIBLE, THAT THE QURAN WAS REVEALED AT A MUCH LATER TIME TO A VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WHO WERE ALREADY BLESSED, BY THE OBEDIANCE OF ISHMAEL, ELDEST SON OF ABRAHAM AND THE ARAB DECENDANTS OF ABRAHAM. BUT THEY WERE LOSING ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THESE ANCIENT LAWS AND GUIDANCES FROM “THE GOD OF ABRAHAM”, AND ALLAH, THE ARABIC PRONOUNCIATION FOR THE OMNIPOTENCE OF GOD, (“THE” GOD-CAPITAL “G”) SENT THE ANGEL GABRIEL (JIBREEL) TO REVEAL THE WORD TO MOHAMMAD, WHO WAS TO TEACH IT TO THE COMMUNITY OF ARABS, IN MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA, AND AS FAR BEYOND AS THEY COULD SPREAD IT, IN ORDER TO SAVE SOULS.
IT WAS SENT AS A BLESSING TO THEM, THAT THEY SHOULD “NOT” GO WANDERING IN THE DESERT, VOID OF ALL HONOR AND SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE. THEY WERE STILL FOLLOWING THE REMNANT OF “THE LAWS OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM”, LONG BEFORE MOHAMMAD WAS BORN. BUT MUCH WAS LOST OR TWISTED AND CHANGED.
SO ALLAH SENT IT ANEW, IN THE SCIENTIFIC, VERY SPECIFIC LANGUAGE OF ARABIC, ALONG WITH A FEW NEW COVENANTS. ONE OF THEM IS THAT FROM THE TIME OF ISA, (JESUS) BELIEVERS HAD BEEN “TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK”, TO THIER ENEMIES, IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK OR ACT VIOLENTLY.
IN THE COVENANT TO MOHAMMAD, BELIEVERS WERE NOW GIVEN PERMISSION TO “SELF DEFEND”, BUT ONLY TO THE DEGREE OF THE OFFENCE ON THEM. THEY WERE STILL FORBIDDEN TO BE THE AGGRESSORS OR FIRST STRIKE ATTACKERS. BUT, THIS WAS STILL EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT !
EVIL WAS GROWING AND SPREADING AND ALLAH WAS PROTECTING THE BELIEVERS, WITH PERMISSION TO SELF DEFEND AND PROTECT THEMSELVES. THESE WERE BLESSED AND VALUABLE PEOPLE TO ALLAH. REMEMBER, JESUS WAS BORN IN PALISTINE !
IN THE CITY OF BETHLEHAM AND RESIDED IN NAZARETH, PALISTINE. WE MUST PRESERVE THE “COUNTRY” OF PALISTINE (PHILISTINE IN ARABIC) AND STOP BEING FOLLISHLY MANIPULATED TO FORCE THEM TO ASK FOR THE RIGHT TO FORM A STATE. WHAT STATE? THEY ARE ALREADY A COUNTRY !
THEY WERE FORCED TO CEDE A SMALL PORTION TO THE ISRAELI’S, IN 1948 WHEN THEY CREATED THE STATE OF ISRAEL, BUT NOT THE WHOLE COUNTRY ! THE “COUNTRY” OF PALISTINE RUNS FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDERS OF LEBANON AND SYRIA, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE COAST TO THE NORTHERN TIP OF EGYPT ! SEE MAP BELOW.
ONLY PALISTINE (PHILISTINE IN ARABIC), JORDAN, EGYPYT, SYRIA REMAIN INTACT AND WITH THEIR ORIGINAL NAMES.
TO CHANGE THIS, IS TO ASSIST IN THE ERASURE AND INCREASED CONFUSION OF THE DEVIL’S LIKING, OF JUST WHO AND WHAT AND WHERE DID OUR ANCIENT HISTORY OCCUR !
THEY WERE TO TAKE THE WORD AND SPREAD IT AND WELCOME AS MANY AS WOULD BELIEVE IT TO JOIN THEM AND ENTER “ISLAM”.
FROM SLIDE SHOW “BISMILLAH” – BY DAWN NARET
ISLAM MEANS “PEACE” IT IS A STATE OF MIND, A STATE OF LIFESTYLE, OF PRACTICING THE GOOD PRACTICES AND DOING THE GOOD DEEDS AND HAVING CONFIDENCE THAT ALL IS WELL, AND “I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR IF THE JUDGEMENT WERE HELD TODAY”!
THEY WERE TO BE NON-DISCRIMINATE, UNPREJUDICED, AND OPEN TO ALL, INCLUDING ANY JEWS AND CHRISTIANS INTERESTED IN ACCEPTING THE PROPHET, FOR THE SAVING, OF AS MANY SOULS, AS WOULD BECOME OBEDIENT TO THE LAWS AND PROTECT “THEMSELVES” FROM BEING LURED INTO DOING EVIL.
THERE IS NO “INTERCESSOR” OR MIDDLE MAN IN ISLAM…..WE PLEA DIRECTLY TO ALLAH, ON WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE AND ALLAH ALREADY KNOWS THEM BEFORE WE ASK. THEY SPREAD THE WORD TO THE PERSIANS, WHO SPREAD IT NORTH TO THE RUSSIANS, AND THEY ALSO SPREAD IT TO THE EGYPTIANS, WHO SPREAD IT SOUTH TO THE AFRICANS AND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
FROM SLIDE SHOW “BISMILLAH” – BY DAWN NARET
SO, THE “GOD” OF ABRAHAM, WAS THE SAME “GOD” AS THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS AND THEN, THROUGH THE ELDEST SON OF ABRAHAM, ISHMAEL RETAINED THE FAITH OF HIS FATHER AND MARRIES THE DAUGHTERS OF A KING IN THE GAZA REGION OF PALISTINE, AND HIS DECENDANTS ACCEPTED THE WORD OF MOHAMMAD AND BEGAN TO CALL THEMSELVES “MUSLIM” - (THOSE WHO ARE OF PEACE), AS ORDERED BY GOD/ALLAH. AND THEY CALLED THEIR RELIGION “ISLAM” (HIS PEACE) ALSO AS ORDERED BY GOD.
MUSLIMS THEN COMPLAINED THAT “THEY DON’T COUNT “US” AS “BELIEVERS” IN THE CREATOR, BECAUSE WE CALL HIM BY A DIFFERENT NAME - “ALLAH” “.
DO YOU MUSLIMS COUNT THE CHRISTIANS AND THE JEWS AS “BELIEVERS” EVEN THOUGH THEY CALL THE CREATOR BY A DIFFERENT NAME, “GOD” ? “GOD” MEANS “THE” GOD - CAPITAL “G” (god - small “g” means “little god”, less important god, pagan god or “lah” in arabic) - THE CREATOR OF ALL LIFE AND OF ALL THINGS PHYSICAL. ISN’T “THAT” THE SAME AS “ALLAH”?
ALLAH MEANS “AL” THE FAMILY OF OR “THE” AND “LAH” WHICH MEANS LITTLE GOD OR LESS IMPORTANT GOD, PAGAN GOD. WHEN IT IS JOINED WITH “AL”, IT BECOMES THE SAME AS CHANGING IT TO A CAPITAL “G”……..”THE” GOD, THE QURAN SAYS, IT IS NOT GOD UNLESS IT IS “THE” GOD !” OR, “LE ILA HEH IL ALLAH” (IT IS NOT GOD UNLESS IT IS “THE” GOD, “THE CREATOR OF ALL THE COSMOS”.
FROM SLIDE SHOW “BISMILLAH” – BY DAWN NARET
THIS IS DEFINATELY THE SAME GOD ! OR PERHAPS YOU DO NOT COUNT THEM AS BELIEVERS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT DRESS THE SAME. WHAT COMMAND WAS MADE FOR DRESS?…………”MODEST” HAS MANY DESIGNS, MANY COLORS, MANY ARTISTIC PRINTS AND PATTERNS MANY STYLES FROM MANY CULTURES AND MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
BUT, “MODEST” CAN BE ACHIEVED BY WEARING CLOTHING, OF “ANY” STYLE OR NATIONAL ORIGIN, TO COVER, FROM THE TOP OF THE CLEAVAGE (“COVER YOUR BREASTS”)TO THE KNEE. ARMS, LOWER LEGS AND FACE ARE “NOT” INCLUDED, IN THE COMMAND AND WITH OR WITHOUT THEM COVERED, “MODEST” IS COMPLETE. “COVER YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU PRAY….” DOES “NOT” INCLUDE TIMES OF NON-PRAYER.
HAVE WE BEEN DISCRIMINATORY ? “ADDING” WHAT ALLAH HAS NOT DEMANDED ? “WHO ARE YOU, TO FORBID WHAT ALLAH HAS NOT FORBIDDEN AND WHO ARE YOU, TO PERMIT WHAT ALLAH DOES NOT PERMIT ?”.
WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT MUSLIMS ARE BORN AND RAISED ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY WILL DRESS IN THE STYLE OF THEIR CULTURE AND THIS IS NOT UN-ISLAMIC.

I HEARD A FUNNY JOKE: SAINT PETER WAS GIVING A TOUR AND ORIENTATION, TO SOME CHRISTIANS, WHO HAD JUST DIED AND ARRIVED IN HEAVEN. WHEN HE SHOWED THEM THE 12 DOORS OF ENTRY, THE MAN SAID, “BUT I ONLY SEE 11 DOORS” .
SAINT PETER SMILED AND SAID, “OH, THE 12TH ONE IS AROUND BACK…..WE SAVE IT FOR THE CATHOLICS, BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES HERE !”
ARE MUSLIMS IN ERR OF THINKING THAT MUSLIMS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL ARRIVE IN PARADISE/HEAVEN ?
IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE ALREADY PROVEN HOW MUCH CATHOLICS AND MUSLIMS HAVE IN COMMON ! “JAZZAKALAHAHR !” MAY ALLAH BLESS EVERYONE FOR THEIR GOOD DEEDS

HELLO VISITORS! I WAS LOCKED OUT OF BOTH MY “BLOG.COM” EVER SINCE MARCH - 2009 ! MY PASSWORD WOULD NOT WORK AND EVERY TIME I CHOSE A NEW ONE, IT REJECTED THE ENTRY AND SAID “FATAL ERROR” AND WOULD NOT SAVE OR LET ME IN. I WAS LOCKED OUT OF BOTH MY BLOG.COM SITES AT: DAWNNARET.BLOG.COM AUTHORDAWNNARET.BLOG.COM.
IT LOOKS A MESS, IN SOME AREAS HERE, BECAUSE THEY WERE REEKING HAVOC IN HERE, WHILE I WAS LOCKED OUT.
PLEASE FORGIVE THE UGLY TEXT AND FONTS, THE DUPLICATIONS, THE MISSING ARTICLES OF INTEREST AND THE ORGANIZATION OF CONTENT. I WILL BE WORKING TO CORRECT IT ALL. HOPE I WILL NEVER HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS AGAIN.
I’LL BE UP DATING AND SPRUCING AT THESE BLOGS AS TIME PERMITS. ONE OF THE NEW THINGS I HAVE DONE IS TO DIVIDE THE CONTENT THAT I HAD PUBLISHED ON “GAMARA” AND “DAWNNARET.BLOG.COM (NOW “AL NUR”).
I DECIDED TO ORGANIZE THE FOCUSES ONTO 2 SEPARATE PATHS. “GAMARA” (THE REFLECTION - OF THE PAST) - STILL FREEZING UP AND REFUSING TO ALLOW ME TO EDIT AND CORRECT THE MESS, HAS TOO MANY IMPORTANT ITEMS ON THERE THAT I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO KEEP AVAILABLE, FOR READING, FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS.
I HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP, ON THERE - “GAMARA”, THE ECCUMENICAL MOTIVE, WITH FOCUS ON THE “LOOKING BACK” AT THE HISTORY, THE RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS, THE PEOPLE AND THE “DECENDANTS OF THE ANCIENTS”.
“AL-NUR” (THE LIGHT- PROGRESSING TO THE FUTURE), ON THE OTHER HAND, WILL TAKE A PROGRESSIVE PATH, OF LOOKING AT THE “NOW” , OF HOW DO WE FIT OUR FAITH INTO MODERN DAY TIMES AND PRACTICES AND FOLLOWING A “MOVING AHEAD” PATH FOR ETERNAL GROWTH AND EVOLVEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND FAITH.
I WILL DEVELOPE “AL-NUR” FIRST AND SALVAGE THE BEST OF “GAMARA”, BEFORE ADDING THE RICH HISTORICAL DISCUSSIONS I ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR IT, BEFORE I BECAME A VICTIM OF PREJUDICE CRIMINALS AND THIEVES. LOVE, DAWN NARET’

FROM: Dawn Naret : THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE SURAH (CHAPTER) AL-NUR, OF THE HOLY QUAR’AN. (THE ORIGINAL OF THIS COMMENTARY HAS BEEN STOLEN , I CAN NEVER REPEAT A “SPIRITUAL” WRITING VERBATUM, SO I AM WRITING….AGAIN “IN THE SPIRIT” TO REACH THE WISDOM OF YOUR SOUL.)
CAN YOU SEE THE “SIMILTUDE”?
WE HAVE 3 MAJOR RELIGIONS….ALL CELEBRATING “DIFFERENT” EVENTS IN THE PRACTICING OF THEIR FAITH IN THE “SAME” GOD……..ARE THEY ACTUALLY AS “DIFFERENT” AS THEY BELIEVE ?
THEY ARE MORE IN “SIMILTUDE”, AS A “HOLY TRINITY” . THEY ARE ALL REMEMBERING AND OBSERVING, WITH OBEDIANCE, THE HISTORY AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE ANCIENT PROPHETS OF OUR ONE GOD…………….
EVERY YEAR, THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS JOIN, AROUND THE WORLD, FOR A GLOBAL, BROTHERLY LOVE SHARING, OF GIFT GIVING AND BEST WISHES TO ALL.
MY SUGGESTION IS, THAT ALL MUSLIMS SHOULD JOIN IN THIS GLOBAL SPIRIT OF BROTHERLY LOVE AND PEACE BY OBSERVING THE QURANIC SURRAH OF ENLIGHTENMENT, “AL-NUR”. JOIN IN ON THIS GLOBAL SHARING AND OBSERVE, ACCORDINGLY, THE “EID AL-NUR” EVERY DECEMBER 16, FOR 7 DAYS, AS THE 7 PILLARS OF ISLAM AND THE SEVEN HEAVENS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF THE WORLD “BELIEVERS” IN THE SAME CREATOR.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM DAWN NARET’ ! !
I PROPOSE THAT THE MUSLIM CHILDREN BE GIVEN THE OBLIGATION OF STUDYING AND MEMORIZING A NEW AYYAT OF “AL-NUR-THE LIGHT” EVERY NIGHT AND THAT THEIR EFFORTS WOULD BE REWARDED WITH A GIFT EVERY NIGHT.
WHY SHOULD THE DEAR LITTLE MUSLIM CHILDREN BE MADE TO FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT AMONG THOSE RECEIVING GIFTS AND BLESSINGS DURING A GLOBAL PERIOD OF SPIRITUAL BONDING AND GIFT GIVING, OBSERVANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL GUIDANCES OF “PEACE ON EARTH….GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” - IS NOT “ISLAM” THE PERFECT ENTITY OF “PEACE” ?
I WILL WRITE MORE ON THIS, AS TIME PERMITS. TODAY, I AM GETTING THIS “AL-NUR” BLOG GROOMED TO HOLD MANY “ENLIGHTENING” AND UPLIFTING NEWS , JUDEO, CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC TEACHINGS AND INFORMATION SITE.
** AND SPEAKING OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN-ISLAMIC RELIGIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT JESUS (ISA - IN ARABIC) WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY OF PALESTINE !
IT IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW COUNTRIES REMAINING WITH IT’S ORIGINAL/BIBLICAL NAME. THE ONLY OTHERS ARE: EGYPT, JORDAN, SYRIA (ASSYRIA), AND POSSIBLY LEBANON. BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME IMPORTANCE OF THE REGION…..WE CANNOT PERMIT THESE COUNTRIES TO EVER LOOSE THEIR IDENTITY OR FORGET THEIR VALUE TO THE HISTORY OF ALL THREE RELIGIONS.
IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE NATIVES THERE, IT IS PRONOUNCED “PHIISTINE” AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN PRONOUNCED THAT WAY. IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT WAY, IN SCRIPTURE CITING “THE PHILISTINES”.
YES, IT’S TRUE…….BETHLEHAM, AND NAZARETH ARE IN THE COUNTRY OF PALISTINE ! ISRAEL HAS ONLY EXISTED IN IT’S SMALL SIEZED PORTION OF PALISTINE, SINCE 1948.
I PREFER TO DEAL WITH REAL FACTS. PALISTINE IS AND ALWAYS WAS A VERY LARGE COUNTRY FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF SYRIA ALL THE WAS DOWN THE MEDITERAINEAN COAST TO THE NORTHERN BORDER OF EGYPT.
** FROM THIS SPOT ON, I HAD A LONG DISCOURSE ON MY SUGGESTION THAT MUSLIMS BEGIN TO OBSERVE AN ANNUAL DECEMBER HOLIDAY OF “EID AL-NUR” IN OBSERVATION AND SPIRITUAL BONDING TO THE TWO THIRDS OTHER “BELIEVERS IN THE SAME GOD/ALLAH”.
THE WHOLE CONTENT WAS STOLEN AND IT WAS A SHAME, MOSTLY FOR HOW COULD YOU STEAL ANYTHING THAT DISCUSSES THE CREATOR AND PRONOUNCER THAT STEALING IS FORBIDDEN ?
IT WAS ALSO A SHAME, FOR A SECOND REASON, THAT IT WAS WRITTEN WITH THE MOST SINCEREST AND DIVINLY INSPIRED MOTIVATION, THAT I HAVE BEEN MOVED BY, FOR A LONG TIME.
