Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Musliim friends:

"7. By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,

8. Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,

9. Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded." ~ Surahtul Dhariyat 7-9

"69. And those who strive in Our (Cause), --We will certainly guide them to Our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right." ~ Surahtul Ankabuti 69

"4. Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse." ~ Surahtul Laili 4

The Paths to Allah (swt) are diverse. Perhaps as diverse as the Paths in the Sky. With this it can be observed that whether we are standing in the front row of the Jumuah Salaat; or the middle row of thw Jumuah Salaat; or the very last row of the Jumuah Salaat...it can be observed that each person is charting their own individual course to Allah (swt). As we are walking together in the Fellowship of the Spirit we are not conflicting with each other Spiritually; nor bumping into each other; nor turning to face each other in the Spirit to Source from a particular person of a pattern of doing things to access Allah (swt).

If every one ever created in the history of the world were to ask of Allah at the same time it would not deplete the bounties of Allah (swt) if He Answered everyone ever created simultaneously.

I made this drawing to express that concept. But it is inaccurate, of course. I did not factor the diversity of the Paths to Allah. These are all relatively straight lines.

It is a beautiful observation that even as we stand or stood together in line in salaat it is kind of like this drawing. If there is someone that turns to instead draw from the energy or spirit of one of those lines, then that is out of order. If we are all facing Allah (swt) but there are some there facing some of the subjects then they are out of order. They are out of Divine Order. They are then attempting to make themselves a part of that individuals unique relationship with Allah; or draw from the resources of that individual, [which would deplete that individual because only Allah has infinite bounty], when they should be attempting to draw from and source their own unique relationship or line to Allah along the pattern they have charted their course. We've got to let people do them and not be turning to face them in the Divine Order, because that is out of order. That is one of the problems with Shirk.

What I mean by turning to face them is turning to source them in the Spriit instead of going to the Source God. But not literally outlawing facing one another. Pardon the error in expression.

But as we should not source each other Spiritually...only Source Allah Spiritually...we should not leave off Traffic and Trade by Mutual Good-Will. 

But we are talking about those seeking the Face of Allah (swt) and those seeking the faces of His (swt) subjects. Allah (swt) has said about the Zalimun at Surahtul Anam Ayat 52, "Zalimun turn away those seeking the Face of Allah (swt)." It would be true if they are turning away themselves or others from seeking the Face of Allah. Each has a responsibility to themselves. 

But, it is important that Spiritually each person faces Allah (swt) as Source.
