(Shura-42:38)
(ii) Therefore (waltakun minkum: Imran-3:104) gives permission to Muslims to elect, appoint or nominate a person or a group of persons to guide and lead. This verse (Imran-3:104) points out to the necessity of such an institution just as the necessity of prophets.
(iii) Guidance on mechanisms for appointment of leader (Executive Head): Allah’s (Delegation of Authority) may therefore be entrusted to the (Aulil Amr) based on the following verse:
> “ O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those invested with authority (Aulil Amr) (from) among you”
(Nisa-4: 59)
(iv) The qualitative and quantitative delegation prerequisites as well as requirements, exclusions and inclusions to bring the appointment of the (Aulil Amr) in line with Allah’s command are identified below:

(vi) The above delegation of the authority is limited to the leadership role. It excludes any legislative functions which are dealt with separately in the book (holy Quran).
(vii) Limitations on Appointment of Leader (Executive Head: Aulil Amr).
> ” You are the best group that has been brought forth for mankind; you enjoin goodness and you forbid evil, and you believe in Allah>>>”
(Imran-3: 110)

> ” Whosoever defends (vindicates) himself, after being oppressed, then there is no way of blaming him”: (41)
> ” The way (of blame) is only against those who do injustice to people and are aggressive in the land for no reason, for them there is painful chastisement”: (42)
> ” Whosoever forbears and forgives, verily this is an act of great (genuine) determination “: (43)

Note:
(i) Reprisal must not exceed the offence; but extraordinary reward for those who forgive.
(ii) Self defence is an authorised option.
(iii) All the battles the Holy Prophet fought were in self defense.
> ” Whosoever Allah leaves to stray shall not have any guardian after this. You shall see the unjust when they see the chastisement, saying: Is there a way to go back”: (44)
> ” You shall see them brought before (the fire), abject in disgrace, looking with stealthy glance. Those who believe shall say: Verily the losers are those who have lost their selves and their people on the day of reckoning. Beware! Verily the unjust shall be in a lasting chastisement”: (45)

> ” If they turn away, then We have not sent you as a keeper over them. On you is nothing but to convey (the message). Verily when We make man taste mercy from Us he rejoices thereat; and if any ill afflicts him because of what his hands sent before, then verily man becomes most ungrateful”: (48)
Flag 28: No way for those whom Allah leaves to stray: (Shura-42: 44-48)

Flag 30: How Allah Communicates? Allah’s conversation with Musa explained (Shura-42: 51:Nisa-4: 164)
Note:
(i) The verse below explains that communication with Musa was through a medium, not in person.
>>> ” and Allah spoke to Musa directly”
(Nisa-4: 168)
> ” Thus did We reveal to you Our guidance by Our command. You did not know what the book was, nor the faith, but We made a light by which We guide whomsoever We will of Our servants. Verily you guide to the right path”: (52)
Flag 31. ‘Guidance’ is from Allah alone: (Shura-42-52)
Note:
(i) Is there anything better to be asked for from the merciful Lord (Allah) than ‘Guidance’? None! Whatsoever.
(ii) Even Messengers and Imams are not empowered to guide anyone on their own!
> ” It is not incumbent on you (O Muhammad) to guide them, but Allah guides aright whom He wills”
(Baqarah-2: 272)
(iii) The ‘Guidance’ is from Allah alone: to whomsoever, whenever He wills and by whatever medium He desires!
>>> ” Allah guides unto His light whomsoever He wills>>>”
(Nur-24: 35)
(iv) Allah’s emphatic decree below in view!
> ” It is not for any soul to believe except by Allah’s permission>>>”
(Yunus-10: 100)
(v) The declaration is cause of enormous concern for the children of Adam! If the guidance by the Lord (Allah) is by His choice only, then why are the children of Adam accountable for their deeds? Allah’s governance on the entire universe is based on the ‘Absolute Justice’ and, in line with the same, it is not possible for such a loophole to exist! There comes the resolution of the issue from Allah Himself!
(vi) Discover the treasure of Guidance (Hidayat) & the Route to it?

Flag 32: What is (Sirat-e-Mustaqim: the Straight Path)? (Shura-42: 52-53)
Note:
(i) The path of the Holy Prophet and his (Ahlul Bayt in an unbroken chain: Ahzab-33:33) is the (Sirate-Mustaqim: the Straight Path): The path of those on whom Allah bestowed His bounties (Fatihah-01: 07: Anamata-Alayhim) and who are (Urwatul-Wuthqa: Baqarah-2: 256).

(i) Oceans and seas cover over two-thirds of the earth’s surface, provide food and minerals, generate oxygen, absorb greenhouse gases and keep climate change in check, determine weather patterns and temperatures, and serve as highways for sea-borne international trade.
(ii) Oceans and seas can play a major role in contributing to achieving sustainable development, economic growth, and livelihoods.
(iii) The oceans absorb both the excess heat generated by our greenhouse gas emissions, and absorb carbon dioxide itself, helping to reduce the impacts of climate chaos.
(iv) Phytoplankton such as algae, for instance, transform dissolved carbon dioxide into organic carbon, which then forms part of the food chain. Gradually some of this sinks to the sea bottom where it is buried in sediment. Without the biological carbon pump that this entails concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere today would be about 50% higher.
(v) The ocean’s biology is one of our best allies in the fight against climate.
