Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary (volume One) False and True Advantages In these two verses the two key- notes of Islam, which are FAITH and RIGHT CONDUCT have been mentioned: ``Graces and superiorities, and other advantages are not given or obtained by your desires or by the desires of the people of the Scriptures.'' Whoever you might be, if you do evil deeds, you have to answer for that, and you must suffer the consequences of what you have done; unless God's Mercy may come to your help and catch your hand.

Three criterions are introduced here as the standards of judging the best of religions: 1- Full submission of the whole self to Allah, the only one true God, Who is the creator of the universe. 2- Being good in words and deeds, and doing good and justice to All. 3- Following the creed of ABRAHAM the KHALIL OF ALLAH. WHAT DOES KHALIL MEAN?

ABRAHAM is one of the five arch prophets of Allah in Muslim theology with the title of KHALIL- ALLAH; which may mean the friend of Allah, or one who has purified himself for Allah. In spite of all that dignity and title, in the theology of Islam, he is no more than a mortal man, chosen by Allah as Messenger, and ultimately as God's friend.

ABRAHAM'S creed, and his strict belief in Monotheism, and his ardent love for the only true God, has been the foundation and origin of the three great religions founded by Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad.
