Seeking after the best wisdom in this World

[selfsame]

One

Man in this World, and among all these ideologies .. in all this mess .. all this noise of life, while life is limited in time, so time is the most valuable thing in this life

Opinions are different, beliefs are variant, desires differ, purposes vary .. conduct of people are more in difference and variation

Some deny God .. these are the atheists
Others believe in God ... and such people also differ some of them associate with God other beings .. that is by way of enthusiasm about the Christ, the saints, the religious Jewish or Muslim men or others .. these are the idolaters or associaters

The believers in God may deny the Next Life and believe there is only this life of the World

So the correct belief will lead to the correct conduct and the prosperity in the life of the World and in the Next Life

While missing the correct choice will lead to destruction and loss, and will lead to the wrong conduct and wrong work

Two

God - be glorified - sent His messengers successively to teach people and enlighten them about Himself and that they should avoid the wrong-doing among themselves and to be upright and righteous so as to prosper in this World and in the Next Life

Quran 23: 44, which means
Then We sent Our messengers in succession: one after another [in time
Whenever their messenger came to any nation they denied him: saying he was a liar a
so We made some of them to succeed others [to destruction and ruining] b; and We made them mere tales c; away then with a people who do not believe [neither in Our signs, nor in Our messengers
.................................................. ...............

a And they did not believe in the religion which he brought

b We destroyed them successively: some after others

c To people: they talk about them and mention them as lessons and parables of evil

So where is the correct belief and the correct conduct

It is included in God's commandments, in the heavenly books brought by the prophets and messengers of God .. in addition to the wisdom and parables among people .. it also includes much wisdom

Therefore, by obeying God's commandments, one will attain the highest wisdom in life, and man will be confident in his God Most Gracious that he will be prosperous by means of God's forgiveness and mercy

Three

The first step that man has to take is that he recognize God Almighty that God is the Creator, the Eternal, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful
This is the essential fact: if man misses this he will lose completely
Therefore, the man who seeks after the wisdom has to know God and believe in God the Creator and the Eternal
This is the First Commandment which pertains to God

And man who seeks after the wisdom and to get the correct belief and conduct ... should not pay attention to atheists, and others who invite him to other ways .. or else man will miss the wisdom .. so this is the head or the first thing of the wisdom: to know and believe in God, and to forsake the falsehood and the falsehood followers, who will lead to his destruction and loss

Four

Then man has to glorify God and do not equalize Him with any other being in comparison. Because the glorification is due to God alone, and all others including the angels and the prophets and the saints are only the beings created by God .. they are restricted, limited and has all the defects of ability, knowledge and need: i.e. they need God to give them their requirements

Therefore, any man equalizes God with anyone or anything .. this man will lose, because this is the association with God .. this is the idolatry
Now, most people on earth (and on the planets) equalizes God with other beings .. while this is the idolatry ... and such idolaters will lose sooner or later

E.g. the parents have favor on their children, so the children should obey their parents and comply with them and be grateful to them .. this is the wisdom of sons and daughters that they should be grateful to
their parents who have much favor on them more than all others
Therefore, this is a parable: and although God is not the father of anyone, but God has the greatest favor
and bounty to man, and man has to obey God Whose commands are even to the advantage of man, and man should be grateful to Him alone and not to any other religious figure.. and this is the wisdom

This is the First Commandment that man should love God more than he loves anyone or anything else

Fifth
Man who seeks after the correct belief and conduct, has to get away from atheists and idolaters who invite man to their falsehood; Satan also is the invisible enemy of man and he provokes his followers to wrangle with the man who seeks after the wisdom and the correct belief and conduct... so as to deviate man from God's way and so that he will lead to man's destruction and confusion

The wise man should then follow the one who invites him to God and the way of God: that He is One and the glorification is due to God alone

Such advice is in the teachings of Tobias, who is called Luqman in the Quran: because this man was kind-hearted and he fed the poor and put the food in their mouths; it is in the Quran 31: 15, which means

{And follow the way of those who turn devoutly to Me i}
.................................................. ......................

i i.e. work according to the way of the obedient worshippers

============================================

Also this meaning: that the man who calls people to God alone is the truthful and the correct one, and such man should be followed, and if he prays God, God will answer his prayer

Quran 13: 15, which means
His [preaching] is the preaching of truth; but those who call to other than Him, they answer them not at all

It means: The one who invites people to God alone, and forbids the worshiping of idols, then his invitation is an invitation of truth, and he is correct in his inviting [others to God], and if he asks his need from God, He will answer him
