I understand how easy it is to fall into the “polytheistic” lifestyle, either by chasing after and prioritizing anything other than The Creator or by associating partners that take care of the religious aspects on your behalf. There is nothing against wanting to improve or advance in anything you want and trying to do. Even “Time” and its avatars of “Measuring Devices” aren’t evil concepts on their own. It's how they are utilized that makes them so.

If you recall the story of The Queen of Sheba, the message to Soloman informed him that “She and her nation worshiped The Sun absent/without The Creator/God.” This tells you that it wasn’t the fact that the Sun, and whichever version of a “clock” at that period, was guiding their decisions. It was the fact that it was done absent any considerations to how or if what the clock/sun called for interfered or conflicted with what The Creator commands.

That was their fatal mistake then and yours now. It’s not that you use it to set appointments and organize all aspects of your life. The mistake was to place it above The Creator. And you may not think or ever remember you saying or thinking that you were placing God second to time because you self-rationalized work and all other activities as “immune” to your judgement calls, or not considered when you are making decisions based on your priorities.

As the problem developed and grew over the centuries, even the forms of worship evolved around Solar Worship/Idol-idle worship.

I call them idle worship because their nature is meant to be repetitive and not increase you in anything except self-delusion that it means anything to The Creator when injustice is rampant, and the rest of your day is being guided and re-assigned based on what the clock calls for rather than enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. And it’s Idol worship because it’s guided entirely by habit and a material object and doesn’t include any thinking or learning to advance in knowledge or promote justice like The Creator and The Quran are calling for.

Take Fasting for example: Instead of giving up distractions such as social distancing to help you isolate yourself from external factors and influences on your thoughts and you “break” the fast when you distinguish what is true from what is false or what you read as the white from the black in The Quran.

Instead of this process akin to going into a cubicle at the library, you have settled on an understanding of “fasting” that calls you to give up food and water when the sun by means of the clock orders you to, which makes you biologically ill suited to be learning and studying anything. And the same Sun/Clock let’s you know when to “break” your fast. To top it all off, “Ramadan” has become a season renowned for its “social gatherings” and “television series”, the exact opposite of isolation from others and secluding yourself from distractions like television shows.

If you still haven't absorbed the full weight of everything I'm saying so far, consider the following verse as we approach Ramadan and how in every section below, the verse is almost exactly the opposite of what you believe it to mean.

فكلي واشربي وقري عينا فإما ترين من البشر أحدا فقولي إني نذرت للرحمن صوما فلن أكلم اليوم إنسيا

Mary 26

For non-Arabic speakers, and to all of you Arabic speakers as well, the accepted translation (not even my own) of what God is telling Mary is:

Eat and drink and rest your eye, if you run into anyone, tell them you dedicated a fast to the Creator and you will not be speaking to anyone.

 

The same happened to your prayers: A word derived from the root word “to connect” and repeated in a repetitive absent mindedly drone like non-stop fashion in mosques with the phrase:

“Salah Allah ala Muhammad and Al Muhammad”

The phrase clearly points to a different meaning when the word (Salah) is considered, drastically different from the one you’ve adopted. Unless you think God was praying on The Prophet and his family* or people should pray on The Prophet as another way the phrase is understood, this alone should be plenty reason to realized the true meaning of “Salah” isn't what you think it is. The irony is that Salah is "connecting words with their proper meanings and to other words".

I won’t go into all the different aspects and language deviations that lead to this misunderstanding because I get into it elsewhere and I’ll upload it soon enough if I haven’t done so already. But I will say that your present understanding of what Salah/Prayer has you convinced that you’re doing a lot when you haven’t done anything for God. And the fact that the Sun determines when and your literal direction you face, as you try to find the direction to Mekka by means of your relative position to the Sun’s. All these facts are alluded to and flat out stated all over The Quran but here's one revealing that all your deeds were worth an hour worth of good work (guided kind of worhip-according to God's sanctioned/approved representatives):

ويوم يحشرهم كأن لم يلبثوا إلا ساعة من النهار يتعارفون بينهم قد خسر الذين كذبوا بلقاء الله وما كانوا مهتدين

Jonah 45

The Hajj for example: Another word that means proof in the language and in most of The Quran, suddenly turns into a pagan pillar of your faith?

And to top it off, you made this phrase of the verse that flat out defines The Hajj as "Publicly revealing information/facts",

الحج أشهر معلومات

and understood it as "Known months" in an even more problematic fashion than that which led you to believe Jesus preaching of the Mahdi meant Baby Jesus could talk. 

Zakat: Another pillar of faith that means “intelligence” and “betterment” in everyday forms of Arabic became a money thing.

On and on and on I can keep going for a month and still wouldn’t get through half of the insanity embedded at the core of your understanding of what the foundation of Islam. I can guarantee it wasn’t what The Prophet and his family taught.

And for the stubborn among you who still don’t understand how “Time” is placed above all other false Gods like money or power, stop thinking of time as an “in-between” tool or gateway to all other false Gods and consider this common denominator among all other forms of worship of false gods as the key it’s significance. Take Google for example, it may have started as a tool to help you find what you were looking for, but once it became the absolute and only path to find what you want, there is no question the advertising search engine between you and what you seek has all the power and control over you and over what you seek.

So even if you worship money and that’s your main priority, your only means to it revolves entirely on time and what your schedule and clock allows. This is true no matter who and what you worship. So, it’s no surprise that time and his devices are described in the prophecies as the Anti – to the real Creator’s device/guide who you call The Messiah.

The previous section goes to both Sunni and Shia, but I want to remind the Shia explicitly of what Shia means. Most of them either forgot or never even realized what they believe, scholars included.

Contrary to what is known today, Sunnism didn’t deny Imam Ali’s imamate and divinely appointment. Sunnis knew it wouldn’t sell given the length The Prophet went through to make it known to everyone, and to make it known that it will a test most of them will fail even!

What those who will eventually be called “Sunnis” did was impose a “separation of church and state” version and proclaim that Imam Ali is the highest authority on religious matter but authority in other affairs of the state is to be headed by the person decided on by “Shura”. In short, “democratically” elected leader who’s above Imam Ali in all other nonreligious affairs. Or what I and anyone else who understands the deeper meanings behind my arrival, they told God you know what’s best in your department, we know what’s best in ours. I hope it’s clear to Sunnis now, why out of all their Caliphs, Ali was the only one to always be called by Imam Ali.

Shias are those who didn’t fall for this logic and insisted that God had the right to choose their leader in all affairs as The Prophet alluded to and flat out told them on multiple occasions, not that it’s not common sense to any sincere believer. So, all of Shiism revolves around the idea that God choses the person that represents him. This is why this person often appears to be unfit and unworthy of such a position.
