another rant

My God - how do i praise you and worship thee effecively?
In this world of yours and its many trappings and many decietful lures and mis-informations.
how do i sift through and reach out to you alone -
My Lord how do i understand you, understand your teachings and worship you alone.
In this world of yours with its many diluted information.
My Lord how do i serve you? in totality and rely on you alone
In this world of yours with its many trappings.

the issue on my mind today is the many practices of salat that we just follow without reasoning.
for instance -
why do some people call on mohammed and other people in prayer when the quran says Call on God alone?
why do we say salam alaykum when we pray -
i can understand salam alaykum to signal the end of prayer when praying in congregation - but i cannot understand saying it when praying alone - who are u salaaming to -
what if if there is two of you - you will still turn right and left - depending on where you are standing - who is the other person you are salaming to?

for me - my understanding tosay is that we are so fixed on uniformity - that we have forgotten how to be individuals.
remember on the DOJ it is each man for himself - there is no uniformity in righteousness - other than you seek to worship and obey God alone.
our deeds are not the same - our circumstances are not the same - our lives are not the same - they may be similar but still not the same.
we are all equal in that we have to fight for our righteousness and redemption - no one is an exemption - not even prophets of God and messengers - we all have to prove our righteousness.

i ask God that before i die - however long it is - to redeem me and grant me rigtousness and paraside in the hereafter.

God help me and teach me - to understand you - to worship you alone.... above all the misinformation and misguidance - give me clarity to see thee, clarity to worship thee and courage to focus on thee alone.
