The Perfect Religion

[30:43] Therefore, you shall devote yourself completely to this perfect religion, before a day comes which is made inevitable by GOD. On that day, they will be shocked.

Monotheism: Natural Instinct

[30:30] Therefore, you shall devote yourself to the religion of strict monotheism. Such is the natural instinct placed into the people by GOD. Such creation of GOD will never change. This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know.

Dictionary definition of religion: It’s the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. A particular system of faith and worship.

Dictionary definition of perfect: It’s having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be. Free from any flaw or defect in condition or quality; faultless. Precisely accurate; exact. Some synonyms: ideal, flawless, superb, excellent, unequaled, awesome.

As a verb, perfect has a different pronunciation but similar meaning:

to make (something) completely free from faults or defects, or as close to such a condition as possible.

Only God can make something perfect as He tells us in the Quran. He perfected seven universes (2:29); He perfected His light (9:32); He perfected the Quran (11:1); He perfected His blessings on us (16:81). Ultimately, He perfected everything.

[27:88] When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving, like the clouds. Such is the manufacture of GOD, who perfected everything. He is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

So, it’s no surprise that He perfected for us the ways to worship Him, gave us the perfect religion. But if you asked 100 people on the street what is the perfect religion, you’d probably get at least 50 different answers, depending on what street you were on.

Here in the US, Christianity is the dominant religion. Yet, you would still get many different answers. There are three main branches of Christianity—Catholic, Protestant and (Eastern) Orthodox.

Within Protestant, there are perhaps 20 different identified sects, not including so many “new age” Christian places of worship, with names like New Thought, Water of Life, and New Song Foursquare Church.

Protestant denominations include Anglicans, Baptists and Lutherans each with around 100 million members worldwide. I grew up in the Episcopal church which I just discovered in this research is actually considered Anglican. There are also Methodists and Seventh Day Adventists, and so many more.

They claim to be Monotheistic, worshiping one God. But they divide God into three parts (the Trinity), and their worship is mostly directed to Jesus. These statements of mine do not, of course, include every Christian. God tells us in Quran that within every religion there will be those who follow the criteria in verses 2:62 and 5:69.
What about if you asked 100 people on the street in Jerusalem. You might get 100% Judaism as their religion, but even there you might hear “reform”,
