The demand of God from man is to identify the variables that are the determining factors for the realization of body preservation from sins, crimes, and soul purification from devilish thoughts.
The Holy Bible, Mark 7: 17-23 refers, ''And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.''
Let us take an in-depth look into our ways of life, so as to be able to work on the weak areas for us to be wholesome in our religious practice. This will enable us to achieve a perfect God/man relationship that would set us free from the clutches of satan.
The Holy Quran 7: 157 offers us effective solutions for ease of achieving body preservation from sins and crimes as well as soul purification from devilish thought processes considering the four variables that characterize our behaviors and attitudes in life.
1)Role modeling what is just.
2)Forbidding what is evil.
3) Consider what is lawful as good and pure only.
4) Prohibit what is bad and impure.
The goal is to avoid frictions in our social interactions as well as to be vulnerable to poison through food and drinks.
Divine promise for those who can with the fear of God observe the four articles of faith above is a free offer from God as a favor and reward of just worship or been scripture compliant: Releases them from the yokes that are upon them. Be wise.
