What are the basic tenets of faith enjoined on all Muslim?
Believing that Allah is the only Creator, Preserver and the Power to be worshipped.Answer:Islam's basic tenets of belief to be known are the fundamentals of îmân and Islam. We have gathered them briefly below.The fundamentals of îmân are as follows:1. Belief in AllahAllahu ta'âlâ is the Wâjib al-wujûd [the Necessary Existence] and the Real Ma'bûd [the One worshipped] and the Creator of all things. There is no ilâh (being to be worshipped) except Him. He is not with time or with place. He does not resemble anything.As-Sifât [Attributes] adh-Dhâtiyya of Allahu ta'âlâ are six:al-Wujûd,al-Qidam,al-Baqâ',al-Wahdâniyya,al-Mukhâlafatu li-l-hawâdith,al-Qiyâmu bi nafsihî.[al-Wujûd: existence; al-Qidam: being without beginning, and eternal in the past; al-Baqâ': being without end, and eternal in the future; al-Wahdâniyya: having no partner or match; al-Mukhâlafatu li-l-hawâdith: being dissimilar to every creature in every respect; al-Qiyâmu bi nafsihî: self existence, being unneedy of anything for His existence.]The Sifât [Attributes] ath-Thubûtiyya of Allahu ta'âlâ are eight:Hayât,'Ilm,Sam',Basar,Qudrat,Irâda,Kalâm,Takwîn.[Hayât: Life, Ever-Living; 'Ilm: Omniscience; Sam': Hearing; Basar: Seeing; Qudrat:Omnipotence; Irâda: Will; Kalâm: Speech, Word; Takwîn: Creativeness.]These Attributes of His are eternal in the past (being without beginning).2. Belief in His angelsAngels are alive; that is, they have life. They are nûrânî [luminous, spiritual] creatures that have reason ['aql]. They are beloved and dear slaves of Allahu ta'âlâ. They are not His partners, nor are they His daughters. They obey His commands, and they never react in disobedience to the commands, nor do they commit sins. They do not engage in duties other than what they are commanded. They are neither male nor female. They do not get married, do not give birth, do not reproduce, and do not have children. They do not eat or drink. They have wings but we do not know the genuine nature of those wings.The angels that record all actions of human beings are called Kirâman Kâtibîn. The questioning angels are called Munkar and Nakîr. The most superior angels are the four archangels, namely, Jabrâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm), Isrâfîl ('alaihis-salâm), Mikâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm) and 'Azrâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm).3. Belief in Divine BooksAllahu ta'âlâ sent many Books. However, only 104 of them are mentioned in our religious books. 100 of them are little Books called suhuf [pl. of sahîfa].These 100 suhuf were revealed to the following Prophets:10 suhuf to Âdam ('alaihis-salâm),50 suhuf to Shît ('alaihis-salâm),30 suhuf to Idrîs ('alaihis-salâm),10 suhuf to Ibrâhîm (Abraham 'alaihis-salâm).The other four big Books were revealed to the following Prophets:The Tawrât (Torah) to Mûsâ (Moses 'alaihis-salâm),The Zabûr (the original Psalms) to Dâwud ('alaihis-salâm),The Injîl (Latin 'Evangelium') to 'Îsâ (Jesus 'alaihis-salâm),The Qur'ân al-karîm to our Master the Prophet Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm).The Qur'ân al-karîm replaced all Divine Books, abolished the validity of their rules, and included all these rules in itself. Today all people have to obey the commandments of the Qur'ân al-karîm. Accordingly, it is declared in the Qur'ân al-karîm: "Obey My Prophet!" In this case, we have to obey the rules stated in hadîth-i sharîfs as well. At the present time there are not original copies of Tawrât or Injîl in any country. There are defiled Injîls available. These Divine Books were distorted, that is, altered by people later on. Even if they had not been defiled, they still wouldn't have had validity because all of them were abrogated, that is, invalidated by Allahu ta'âlâ.The revelation of the Qur'ân al-karîm was made verse by verse and completed in 23 years. It will remain valid up to the end of the world. It is kept secure from being invalid and distortions. One who claims that there are reductions or additions in the Qur'ân al-karîm has not believed in Allahu ta'âlâ.It is purported in âyat-i karîmas:(We have sent down the Qur'ân, and certainly We are its Guardian.) [Sûrat-ul-Hijr, 9](The Qur'an is a unique, unmatched Book. Falsehood[reductions or additions] cannot approach it from before or behind [in no direction, in no way] it. [Because] It is sent down by Allah Who is praised by the universe and Who is the Owner of ruling and hikmah.) [Sûrat-u Fussilat, 41-42]4. Belief in prophetsThe first of the prophets is Âdam ('alaihis-salâm) and the last one is Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). So many prophets were sent between these two, but we do not know their exact number. It is well-known that they are more than 124,000.Having belief in prophets means believing in the fact that all prophets, without exception, were devoted, truthful people who were selected by Allahu ta'âlâ. One who does not believe in even one of them regarded as not believing in any.All prophets, from Âdam ('alaihis-salâm) to Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm), communicated the same îmân and ordered their ummats to believe in the same things. Jews believe in Mûsâ (Moses 'alaihis-salâm) but do not believe in 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) and Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). Christians believe in 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) but do not believe in Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). As for Muslims, they believe in and accept all prophets.All prophets have these peculiarities:Amâna [trustworthiness],Sidq [their all deeds are true; they never lie],Tabligh [they communicate the religion precisely],Adâla [justness],'Isma [they never commit sins],Fatâna [super intelligence],Amn al-'azl [security against dismissal from prophethood].Just from the time of Âdam ('alaihis-salâm), who was the first human being created and who was the first Prophet to come, Allahu ta'âlâ sent mankind a religion by means of a prophet every thousand years. Through the medium of religions, He prescribed the way which leads people to serenity and happiness in this world and to endless bliss in the Hereafter. A prophet who brought a new religion is called a "rasûl." Rasûls who have a higher degree than the others are called Ulu'l-'azm. These are Âdam, Nûh (Noah), Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Mûsâ (Moses), 'Îsâ (Jesus), and Muhammad('alaihimus-salâtu wa's-salâm).A prophet who did not bring a new religion but invited people to the previous religion is called a "nabî."Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm) is the Last Prophet; that is, no prophet will succeed him.It is purported in the Qur'ân al-karîm:(Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm) is the Messenger of Allah and the final of the prophets.) [Sûrat-ul-Ahzâb, 40]5. Belief in the Last DayAfter death, everybody will be resurrected and will go to Paradise or Hell after questioning and settlement of accounts on every action. Paradise and Hell exist now, and both of them are eternal. Paradise for Muslims and Hell for disbelievers will be eternal abode.It is not made known when Doomsday will occur. Nevertheless, our Master the Prophet pointed out many of its harbingers and precedents:Hadrat al-Mahdî will come; 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) will descend from the sky; ad-Dajjal (who is called Antichrist by Christians) will appear; people called Ya'jûj and Ma'jûj will put the whole world into turmoil; the sun will rise in the west; violent earthquakes will occur; religious knowledge will be forgotten; vice and evil will increase.6. Belief in qadar and that good (khair) and evil (sharr) are from Allahu ta'âlâGood and evil, advantage and harm coming upon human beings are all by Allahu ta'âlâ's Will.Qadar means Allahu ta'âlâ's knowing (with His Eternal Knowledge) and willing all deeds of human beings and other creatures that they will do. Qadâ' means the [instance] creation of anything just compatibly with qadar. Both are termed qadâ' and qadar.Though everything, good or evil deeds of human beings, are created by Allahu ta'âlâ, He has bestowed irâda-i juz'iyya [partial will] upon people. If one, using this partial will, wants a good deed to be created, then one gains thawâb. But if one wants an evil deed to be created, then one will have committed a sin. If people commit sins, they will be meted out punishments. On the other hand, if they earn thawâb, then they will be awarded in the Hereafter. In other words, Allahu ta'âlâ does not compel his born slaves to commit sins.
An Islamic Perspective on Sexuality?
In Islam, sexuality is considered part of our identity as human beings. In His creation of humankind, God distinguished us from other animals by giving us reason and will such that we can control behavior that, in other species, is governed solely by instinct. So, although sexual relations ultimately can result in the reproduction and survival of the human race, an instinctual concept, our capacity for self-control allows us to regulate this behavior. Also, the mere fact that human beings are the only creatures who engage in sexual relations once they are beyond the physical capacity for reproduction, sets us apart from all other species which engage in sex for the sole purpose of reproduction.MarriageFor Muslims, based on an understanding of Qur'an and hadith, sexual relations are confined to marriage between a wife and husband. Within this context, the role of a healthy sexual relationship is extremely important. Having and raising children are encouraged among Muslims. Once a child is born, the parents are expected to care for, nurture and prepare the child for adulthood, with a goal of imparting Islam so that the indivdual is equipped with knowledge and willingness to accept and practice Islam and thus become a productive member of society. Beyond childbearing, sexual relations assume a prominent role in the overall well-being of the marriage. In reading hadith, one is impressed with the Prophet's ability to discuss all issues including those dealing with human sexuality. The topics range from questions about menstruation to orgasm. He apparently was not embarassed by such inquiries, but strove to adequately guide and inform the Muslims who asked. Both Qur'an and hadith allude to the nature of sexual relations as a means of attaining mutual satisfaction, closeness and compassion between a wife and husband. "Permitted to you on the night of the Fasts is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and you are their garments."(2:187) Also, Muslims are advised to avoid sexual intercourse during menses so as not to cause discomfort to the woman (2:222).The goal of marriage is to create tenderness between two individuals and satisfy the very basic human need for companionship. "And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between you; in this are signs for those who think."(30:21) The hadith which address this issue are numerous. The Prophet himself, while not divulging all aspects of his own sexual life, was known for his nature as a loving husband who was sensitive and physically demonstrative. In several hadith, he speaks about the importance of foreplay and speaking in loving terms during sexual relations. Again, the concept of mutual satisfaction is elucidated in a hadith which advises husbands to engage in acts that enable a woman to achieve orgasm first. (see Ihya ulum-id-din (Revival of Religious Learning) by Imam Ghazzali, chapter on Marriage). Sexual dissatisfaction is considered legitimate grounds for divorce on the part of either wife or husband.Sex Outside of MarriageNaturally, attraction between individuals is necessary to initiate a relationship that leads to marriage. But sexual relations can obviously take place between any couple, consenting or not. Because of the far-reaching ramifications of sexual relations outside of marriage, Muslims are prohibited by God from such behavior. And because the process that leads to physical attraction and ultimately intimacy is part of human nature, Muslims are advised to behave in a way and avoid circumstances that could potentially result in extra- or pre-marital sex. Modesty in dress and behavior between women and men figures prominently as a means of exhibiting self-control. Similarly, unmarried couples are admonished against spending time alone in isolated places where they would be more likely to act on their feelings and thus be less inhibited. Some of the negative results of sex outside of marriage include the potential for unwanted pregnancies, transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, disruption of the family and marriage (in cases of adultery), and emotional and psychological difficulties resulting from the lack of commitment associated with most relationships outside of marriage. As in other religions, extra- and pre-marital sex are considered major sins. Muslims believe that God does not simply forbid or allow behavior whimsically, but does so with our best interest at heart, guiding us away from potentially destructive behavior and towards behavior that allows us to achieve our most fulfilling potentials as human beings. For a similar reason, Muslims give up the consumption of alcohol because of faith in God's wisdom that the negative effects outweigh the positive for individuals and society at large. "Whoever submits his whole self to God, and is a doer of good, has grasped indeed the most trustworthy handhold..."{(31:22)ContraceptionAlthough Muslims are encouraged to have children, contraception is not prohibited. The method used during the time of the Prophet was coitus interruptus (known as 'azl) about which several hadith exist. His basic response when asked if such a practice was lawful was that individuals can do as they will, but if God intends for a child to be born, she/he will be born. Some interpreted this to mean that preventing pregnancy is not recommended because child-bearing is preferred; yet the act is not specifically prohibited. Also, other hadith stipulate that 'azl could not be practiced without the wife's consent as it might interfere with her sexual satisfaction or desire to bear children. By analogy, the methods that exist today as contraceptives are lawful for Muslims to use at their discretion. Basically, it is our position that any method that does not involve pregnancy termination is permissible. Imam al-Ghazzali (see previous reference) lists a number of legitimate reasons for practicing contraception, including financial difficulty, emotional or psychological hardship of having many children, and even the preservation of beauty and health.It should be clear from this discussion, that since sexual relations should be confined to marriage, contraception is so limited. It is not considered a means of easing the difficulties associated with sexual relations outside of marriage.AbortionAbortion is viewed in the same context as having relevance only regarding pregnancies occurring in marriage, again, not as a response to conception as a result of extra- or pre-marital relationships. Early Muslim jurists considered abortion lawful for a variety of reasons until 40 -120 days after conception (first trimester). This was based on interpretation of Qur'an (22:4 and 23:12-14) and hadith that implied that ensoulment or 'life' did not exist until after that time (see Sex and Society in Islam, B.F. Musallam, Cambridge University Press, 1983). Contemporary thinkers, considering available technology that allows visualization of the embryonic heartbeat at four weeks of gestation, are of the position that life begins much earlier than previously thought, and therefore to terminate would be to take a life illegally. The majority of Muslims today believe that abortion is allowed only if the mother's life is significantly endangered by the pregnancy. Some also feel that the presence of certain congenital anomalies (particularly those that are lethal) make abortion lawful. Also, some scholars consider abortion appropriate in pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.HomosexualityHuman beings are capable of many forms of sexual expression, orientation and identification. The existence of such a variety again is not found in any other species and thus further demonstrates our uniqueness among God's creations. The potential for behavior, such as homosexuality, does not mean that its practice is lawful in the eyes of God. Therefore, individuals are expected to control themselves and not act on their desires if such action is contrary to the guidelines of Islam. Homosexuality, like other forms of sexual relations outside of heterosexual marriage, is thus prohibited. In any discussion of prohibited acts follows the question of what happens if they nevertheless occur. The Qur'an and hadith are explicit regarding severe punishment by the State if a person is convicted of such a crime. However, in order for conviction to take place, the individuals must confess or be accused by at least four eyewitnesses of the act of actual intercourse. Obviously, the likelihood of these criteria being met is small which means that most couples who engage in unlawful acts will not be punished by the State. They will then deal with the consequences of their behavior in this life and will be accountable to God on the Day of Judgement. How He ultimately judges is known only by Him. Sex EducationClearly, from the above discussion, Islam is explicit about many aspects of human sexuality. Also, based on the numerous hadith showing the Prophet's willingness to discuss these matters openly, it should be obvious that education about matters related to sex is acceptable. Muslims may disagree about the age at which sex education begins; some don't discuss the subject at all. Explaining anatomy and the changes one's body experiences during puberty are essential for enabling young people to grow up with a healthy self-image. Also, in an age where sexual activity in many countries begins at an early age, Muslim adolescents must be informed to better enable them to deal with peer pressure. Sex education can be taught in a way that informs young people about sexuality in scientific and moral terms. In countries with very diverse populations, such as the United States, the main limitation in developing sex education curricula, particularly in public schools, is the inability to select a universally acceptable moral position. Therefore, young people are given facts and information, and advised that if they choose to engage in sexual relationships, they should take measures to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The moral and religious aspects of sexuality can be incorporated either in schools of a particular religious denomination or in adjunctive coursework offered by religious institutions. Regardless of the challenges of each society, young people must be adequately informed. Also, in some Muslim communities, individuals are encouraged to marry at young ages. They need to be educated regarding sexuality prior to the marriage such that they know what to expect and can consider their options for birth control prior to consummating the marriage. Female Genital MutilationThe practice of clitoridectomy preceded the introduction of Islam in Arabia and in different parts of Africa. This results in severe sexual debilitation of women, who cannot possibly achieve sexual fulfillment -- which is their right as Muslims. Therefore, this practice is totally unIslamic because it is in direct violation of both Qur'an and hadith, which clearly stress the importance of sexual satisfaction for both the husband and wife.
What are 10 important principles of the Islam religion?
The ten main important principles of Islam religion are considered in the following:Monotheism: Islam, as its name means, is peace and the call for full submission to God, the one and only one, with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no resemblance. This full submission to God leads to peace in yourself and between yourself and the universe that you are part of it.Muhammad prophecy: Prophet Muhammad is God messenger and prophet to call for Islam.Quran holy book: Quran, Islam holy book, was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. Quran is the text of God holy words that remained without single letter alteration or addition since Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) until present and will remain as such until (with God promise) the Day of Judgment. See related question, below, on why Quran was revealed.Sunnah: Prophet Muhammad sayings, doings, and practices that are recorded and authenticated by sincere early Muslims and followed up by Muslims.Islam five pillars: These five pillars to be believed and followed up in by all Muslims. Denying any of them intentionally and knowingly by any Muslim gets him/her out of Islam faith. See related question, below, on Islam faith pillars.These five pillars are: 1) witness that no god except the one and only one God (Allah) and Muhammad is his messenger and prophet, 2) performing praying (Salat), 3) pay the alms giving (Zakat), 4) fasting Ramadan (Sawm), 5) and doing pilgrimage (Hajj) by who can afford it.Faith Principles: To have faith in: God (Allah)God AngelsGod holy books (including Psalms, Torah, the Bible, and Quran)God prophets (including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad; peace upon them)day of JudgmentDestinyMuslim conduct: To follow the Islam morals guided by the Quran and Prophet Muhammad Sunnah. See related questions, below, on Islam ethics and moral.Good deeds: Muslim is not only commanded to perform ritual worships but also, and equally important, to do good deeds for the benefit of oneself, family, community, and humanity.See related question, below, on Islam major teachings.No religion compulsion: You are created free and you have full choice to believe in the religion and principles that you find them correct. Only God, the Creator and the All-Knowing, will judge your choice on the day of Judgment then, in the other eternal life, you go either to Hell or to the Paradise (with God mercy).See related question, below, on Quran Golden rules.Cooperation for mankind goodness: God created people in different races, colors, peoples and tribes, and cultures not to live in conflicts but to compete in doing the good and to cooperate in piety and for mankind benefit. See related question, below, on how Muslims treat non Muslims.Side viewIslam is the second largest religion in the world. TheIslamic belief systems is a set of goals from the Creator for the prophecy, which cannot be seen. The Islamic people believe in angles and the resurrection and the last day of life (Day of Judgment). Islam is a monotheistic religion of peace with the creator. Answer:Islam means obedience and submission of one's will before Allah. Whatever has been created in the universe is purposeful and when it fulfills its purpose of creation it means it is obeying its Creator and it is a Muslim with Islam as its way of life. For example, He created our stomach to digest food made for it, when it does its work, it means it is a Muslim to its creator. But in case anything disobeys Him, all the harms and resulting destruction goes to itself and nothing goes against the Creator. So whoever goes against what was it made for, if destroys itself and its surroundings. The others things serve human beings because they are made for it. But the purpose for which the human beings have been created is to worship only Allah and to be His Muslims. To follow Him and to submit their wills before Him.Here humans have been given option to follow Him or to Deny. But He didn't leave us unguided, and for this purpose He sent His Messengers showing right path to success. So all the Messengers were Muslims and they preached Islam. This is why it is a must in Islam to believe in all prophets and respect them.Now if someone follows Islam (for which the humanity has been created), he will be successful in the test of this worldly life as he did what he was created for. And in the Afterlife he will be among successful people and the among the owners of Paradise. Otherwise, his abode will be Hell and that life is eternal life. And Allah who created sun, stars can of course create the Hell. And He who created the earth can create the Paradise, much more beautiful and bigger than our planet.Today, if we want to know the details of how our Creator wants us to be and to do, we have to follow the guidance of the sources of Islamic knowledge which are Quran and Sunnah (the way of Prophet's life).Islam is a monotheistic religion. People who believe in Islam are called Muslims. Muslims believe in the god Allah and completing Arkan-ul-Islam, or the five pillars of Islam. Muslims are forbidden to gamble, gossip, be lazy, eat pig or gelatin, drink blood, or do anything that can create an addiction.Beliefs in Islam:Belief in One Supreme and Ever Existing God who cannot die, tell lies and fulfill His promises. He sustains everything. He is the creator and will destroy everything He created. In Hebrew EEL means god and in Arabic EElah or Ilah الہ means god. AL + ILAH becomes Allah - The God the Unique and One.Belief in Angels. There are so many of them and only God knows how many they are and what duties they perform.Belief in Prophets: This belief means there came about 124000 Prophets in all regions. Every Nation in all times got its Prophet to guide. But it was followers' duty to preserve the message of God. Until the Last Prophet Muhammad PBUH came and God took this duty himself. Hence there is no version of Quran, its single book with no doubts or contradictions. No grouping over its authenticity. More, all Prophets are equal in Islam so no one worships Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Islam. (A common misunderstanding found) All prophets though we know them are not who so ever they were are highly regarded in Islam that when ever you talk about them and say their names like Jesus Son Of Mary (PBUH), its must to say with humble and respect and both while saying and writing you must say علیہ السلام which means Peace be Upon Him. Jesus Son Of Mary in Arabic عیسیٰ بن مریم علیہ اسلام (Isaa bin Maryam PBUH) [Also called کلمتہ اللہ Word of God , روح اللہ Spirit of God, ابن مریم Son of Mary and مسیح الموعود the promised Messiah the Christ] is also accepted Christ and one of the mightiest (in miracles and mercy) Prophets of God. A must to remember key is Islam believes in Perfection of religion in every way so no more Prophets, Apostles, or Messengers etc. The Holy Spirit; the Archangel Gabriel Will not Descend again with new or old message in anyway. And hence Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the final Prophet from Allah and Quran is the Final Testament and Final Law. And now there is no room for any new commandment or Law. This is now Allah's responsibility to preserve and made safe His word and its people's responsibility to establish Law in lives to society. This also needs a much more detail not possible here.Belief in Books: According to Islam, every prophet was given a bigger or smaller book. Some came with new version of Law and many came to just establish the previous given. In the first case The New Law prevailed and old one was respectfully nullified. But it was must to believe in its (the previous') authenticity as God's word. But it was followers' duty to preserve and protect in its original text form. All these times when ever the Law was shown dishonesty and was manipulated, a New one was given. Whenever people forgot to follow law as a whole a new reformer came from God, to establish the writ of Law. Moses PBUH was given Torah and later Prophets came to reestablish the state on foundation of Torah. But they got their own little books called Sahifa (singular, plural= Sahaif صحائف). Which contained commands to follow the Law.Belief in Fate: This must not be mixed with (and got confused with) Fortune. Fate includes (i) Time of Birth (ii) place of Birth (iii) Age (Changeable) (iv) Time of Death (According to Age) (iii) Place of Death. Now, what is fortune? Fortune is everything in life which we do, for example, our education, status, life style, career, etc. It depends upon how we do and what we do. And in Hadith it states, "The deeds depend upon intention"(Sahih-ul-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1). God will be first judged upon by intentions not by acts, so if intention was right then he will be forgiven and will be blessed. Similarly if intention is wrong and is deceitful and evil then it doesn't matter what he does he will have his very little reward only to the extent he is doing an act. But no blessings, yet an equal wrath from God. This needs further explanation which is not fit for small text box.AnswerIslam considers six fundamental beliefs to be the foundation of their faith: A single, indivisible God. (God, the creator, is just, omnipotent and merciful. "Allah" is often used to refer to God; it is the Arabic word for God.)The angels.The divine scriptures, which include the Torah, the Psalms, the rest of the Bible, (as they were originally revealed) and the Qur'an (which is composed of God's words, dictated by the Archangel Gabriel to Muhammad).The Messengers of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad -- the last prophet; (peace be upon them). Muhammad's message is considered the final, universal message for all of humanity.The Day of Judgment when people will be judged on the basis of their deeds while on earth, and will either attain reward of Heaven or punishment in Hell. They do not believe that Jesus or any other individual can atone for another person's sin. Hell is where unbelievers and sinners spend eternity.
