doubtless

In the Name of Allah, the Benificent, the Merciful.

All praise is for Allah, Almighty and Exalted is He, and blessings and peace be upon the Chosen One, Mercy to the Worlds, Muhammad the unlettered prophet and upon his noble family, companions and all who follow them in earnestness until the Day of Judgement.

How exalted is He Who sent down upon the tongue of His most beloved, the verses;

Alif. Lam. Mim. (1) This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil). (2) Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them; (3) And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter. (4) These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.

Thus begins the second chapter, titled 'The Cow', of the Noble Qur'an - Alif. Lam. Mim. Those mysterious letters of unknown meaning, followed by that beautiful statement, which defies all refutation. It's a promise, a challenge, an introduction like no other. How great is our Lord, to give us these simple words, to allay all uncertainty we might have right from the outset.

From this introduction we learn what is between our hands, that all doubts are dispelled, that this book is a guidance for anyone who is God-fearing and tries to avoid sin. We learn the qualities that necessarily come when a person is in this state; that they believe in the unseen world - i.e. aspects of existence as yet unkown to us.

This automatically puts a believer worlds apart from anyone else, and so easily criticisable by those who see only what their hands can touch. These believers then have obligations; they establish prayer, and give alms as well as voluntary charity. They follow what has come down to them (i.e. this Qur'an) upon the tongue of their Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's praise and peace be upon him), as well as the all the true books which were revealed to previous prophets. They also have no doubts as to the Afterlife - that it is the true life, eternal.

So to sum up, one could easily live by these verses alone. But isn't it so intriguing? Doesn't it simply invite a seeker to enter inside, to read, read and read? This is the word of God. No falsehood here. Simple, clear and real.

It caresses the heart, and feeds the soul, gives life to what was dead before. Let's read, dear reader - let's be guided to Reality...

And the peace and blessings of Allah be upon all who follow the guidance.

progression of faithlessness

a look at the phenomenon of anti-religion, popularised by richard dawkins, for example in his books; the blind watchmaker and the god delusion.

oh mr dawkins, mr blind critic. plaigerising flawed reasoning - exploring concepts defunct as soon as they are spoken. by delving into archaic acedemia, in your militantly atheist missionising, and placing black and white constructs onto epistemologies, you have misplaced reality, and perverted humanity's perceptions of their real status (apparently, after a google search, there is no plural for status but it could be presumed that statae would sufice, no?), you have inverted what is, twisting your theoretcal presumptions to fit permises held for millenia by aching modernists, hating to admit their subjugation to an Almighty Creator.
nothing but a modern-day forerunner of this fundamentalist anti-religionism, an heir of pre-nineteenth century social philosophers, portraying the progression of religion to be 1) animism (primitive polytheism), progressing to 2) monotheism, culminating in 3) the 'most civilised' atheism.

looking at our modern world, and the way that 'religions' have been almost totally abandoned, it would seem that these theories are true. taking the fact that people are looking beyond the 'religion' they have been born into, the epistemologies imposed upon them by their culture and time and place, that them seeing beyond this and leaving it behind, as a proof for this defunct theory - that their origins are therefore primative, and before that primate, and before that some kind of supra-mammal rat creature... is it necessarily true? does that make any sense at all?

isn't it a right, and a great evidence of the intellectual freedom of being a human, indeed of his ability for critical thought, that he explore all concepts placed in front of him (please excuse the apparent chauvenism, but to refer to human as 'man' is a mere turn of phrase)? yes, it is not only a right, but an obligation that one critically analyse ALL that is thrust their way, peddled as truth and corrupted by the evil hearts of men.

turth will always outshine and outlast the dimness of falsehood. humanity, no matter how much entrenched in wars for the desires, can still feel truth in that inner sanctum, a hidden niche only waiting to radiate...

so examine all you will, the truth is concrete and everlasting, not bound by time or pllace, era or eon. it was eternally before time, and is endlessly in eternity. thats all you need to seek to find mr dawkins. we're watching you...

Love And Death

all is full of love, as bjork so gently put it. no matter that lesbian robots spew strange fluids over each other in that particular visual motion picture soundtrack.

the human's 'precious bodily fluids' are indeed important, as they have ever been in the continuation of our race - the ongoing reproduction of a species. it's no matter if you ascribe to evolutionist origin myths, or have reverted back to the empowering truth of Adam our fore-runner and first perfect human, first father, God's representative on earth, you will still note that humanity's increase and the continuation of life is so precious, so natural and so beautiful. this no-one can deny

so what have we become? all we have is a stock of e-mail forwards to offer humanity? we give our 'lol' opinions and facebook updates - we've forgotten how to be in front of another's face in reality. we dont know how to telephone and have forgotten how to write or communicate, and all we have to offer people is a self-centred fight for financial stability and then die leaving nothing behind but a national insurence never to be cashed by loved-ones, but the unknowns in the corporate backgound will take their share.

where's the beauty? what of the glee of new life, the love of humanity?

ok, there is an element of love creeping through the world (think Gaza and the efforts being made to send them aid), but this is limited and almost powerless in its honest goodness. how can the common humans compete against the mental control (and insane) supremacy of the 'intellectual elite' who have us gripped by our feeble minds and passionate reactivities.

yes, humans, we are slaves to supremecists who hold our finances, who feed us our ideals (and eliminate us if we dont subscribe to their version of reality). we are reactive according to our passions and instead of working for the goal of human unity living in peace, submitted to the Almighty, we live in fear (a misplaced fear with the 'other' blamed, instead of the God we know we should really fear and to whom is our return).

if we do claim to fear God, then where are our actions? do they really suggest that we have truly submitted? how will we fare when we stand in front of Him on the Day when there will be no more death...?

friends, humans, fellow slaves of the Almighty, love for the God of us all is where all love comes from. all is full of love. the TRUTH is out there and He does not need you, but you need Him. do we think we'll just disappear into dust? that we live in this wonderful, beautiful and cruel world for nothing?

think on it and live in love. there are other alternatives but all of them lead to destruction and eternal dispair.
