Dear all...,
Physicality of a deed does not give any meaning to it.
Shape and color will not give us
The sweetness and taste of an apple.
Shape and color only cannot fill our stomach.
That is why toys are not useful in our day-to-day life and activities.
For that,
Things have to be real from inside
And the apple has to be a real apple from inside.
Grapes in the painting can’t quench our thirst
Like the fire in paints can’t cook our food.
See what Quran says: "God doesn't get its meat/flesh or blood.
But, he gets only the "Thaqwa" (sharp awareness/ good sight) from you.”
Thaqwa is the level of sharp awareness and sight
Whereby you reach in harmony with the whole.
The life and God.
But did you ever think as to how,
From these activities,
God will get “Thaqwa” (sharp awareness)?
Especially when such deeds are
Just emulations and physical actions.
That too, with selfishness
To get paradise and Houries therein;
Not to seek and see God or truth.
Without knowing what is what,
Without knowing why should he do such things,
Without being convinced
Of its relevance and significance,
And without having the real urge to do such deeds.
******* ******* ******
See, how the humans got distinguished
According to Islam?
It is with his (Adams’s) knowledge.
Then, why this aspect of knowledge
Is not applied in day-to-day life, belief, activities and rituals?
Adam got promoted, according to Islam,
That too above angels (Devas),
And Angels (Devas) were asked to prostrate before Adam (man),
Just because of Adam’s knowledge.
Then, why people are afraid
Of believing or denying with the knowledge?
Then, why do they defy those who know better
With physical strength of their ignorant unsupported beliefs?
******* ******* ******
Dear all...,
According to Islam
"Man" represents (khilafath) God;
Not the "Muslims" represents.
That too on earth, not over the humankinds.
The whole humankind is Representative (khalifa) of God;
Not a particular group/sect of Muslims.
See what Qur’an says:
“When your God told the Angels (Devas)
Surely, I am going to make (create) on earth
A representative (khalifa/ruler)”
The above Qur’anic say
Never denotes to particular sect of humankinds.
It is said about the creation of the seed
Of the whole humankind on earth,
(Adam as a seed of humankinds) and its purpose of
Being representative on the whole earth.
Not of Muslims or of Muslim community
As rulers (representatives/khalifa) over the whole humankind.
To be a representative (Khalifa) of God
You don't need to be a believer or a Muslim.
You don’t need to profess Islam or any faith.
By being born as a humankind,
You become with that quality of representation.
It (representation) is encrypted in the seed of mankind (Adam).
Hence every one of this humankind is a representative (khalifa).
Power-mongering.
Among men, (Khalifa or representatives),
According to Qur’an,
Those who know,
Will surpass the supremacy of angels (Devas).
That is how Adam sought and was taught knowledge,
And surpassed the supremacy of Angels (Devas).
Qur’an says:
“We taught Adam all names ....."
Based on that knowledge
When Adam excelled,
Again Qur'an says :
"When we told Angels (Devas)
Prostrate before Adam (man)”
Then,
Why don’t Muslims give supremacy
To the knowledge and conviction?
Be it of any community of
America or India or Europe or Russia or China
If the same is supported
With the knowledge and conviction.
According to Islam
One who denies the supremacy of knowledge
Is the one who is Devil (Iblis).
Be it anyone, including a Muslim,
If he denies the supremacy of knowledge,
He is a devil.
Even an Angel (Deva)
Who denied the supremacy of knowledge
Could be converted to be a devil.
That is how Iblis (Devil) is
According to Islam and Qur'an
See what Qur’an says:
“All Angels (Devas) prostrated,
Except the one (Angel/Deva) with frustration (Iblis).
He denied and became proud of himself.
Hence became among the deniers”
This is how Devil Angels or deva) is made to a devil.
Adam did not become Khalifa
Or did not get promoted because of
The strength of his physical worship/rituals (ibadath).
Adam did not become Khalifa
Or did not get promoted because of
His monotheistic beliefs (Iman).
Adam did not do rituals, thasbeeh and Thahlees (praising) at all
Before he got to be Khalifa or above Angels (Devas).
And for getting promoted above Angels (Devas),
Not for becoming Khalifa/representative on earth,
He needed to have knowledge.
******* ******* ******
Adam (first supposed seed on humankind) just knew.
He had the knowledge
For both believing and denying.
From his knowledge he got convinced (Iman).
From this conviction, he got to be intending (Niyyath)
So, what does this mean?
Only with real knowledge of what is what,
How and why
One has to decide to be doing anything.
In a convinced way with a real intention.
The physicality of deed can not carry with it
The knowledge, conviction and intention.
See the basis of all activities of Islam.
“All activities are according to the intentions”.
Without intentions (Niyyath)
No deed is considered as a deed from the doer.
Rather, if one does any act
With no such strong intention,
He is a wrong doer.
Credit will not go to him.
But, responsibility and liability
To bear with its consequences (Karmaphala) will go to him.
To have intentions,
You have to be updated and be knowing.
You have to have the knowledge of the things.
You have to be aware of the situation.
Without such knowledge and awareness
How can one be intending?
Without knowing about his mother’s sickness
How can one be intending and acting for her treatment?
Hence, rushing for the required medicine…?
The basic tenet to be a Muslim is “Iman” (conviction).
This conviction has to come from
And be supported by the right knowledge.
Conviction/belief (“Iman”) has to give birth to intention (Niyyath).
So, all these denote to one and only thing.
Not to do and emulate things just physically.
Not to do things because others do,
Or because one is born as Muslim
Or in a particular sect.
Not to do anything
Without questioning and rechecking.
This rechecking by the self is also called “Thaqwa”
(Application of the ultimate and sharp awareness / microscopic look/sight).
“Thaqwa” means looking at things with microscopic eyes,
By which one can see what cannot be seen otherwise,
What is real and what is unreal,
What is farther and what is near,
And what is smaller and what is bigger,
By which one will avoid much of his deeds
Which he is supposed to do otherwise,
By which one will be bound to do a lot
Which are not supposed of him otherwise.
This microscopic eye won’t let any one
Do anything because others do.
This microscopic eye would make one
To be responsible of /for his activities/Karmas.
This Microscopic eye would require him to be certain
And will give him certainty before doing anything.
This micrscopic eye would make one afraid
Of doing any activity for sake of doing,
And he would abstain from any such activities
Just because he happens to see
It is not necessary or good with his micrscopic eyes,
And for this reason, before the general public
He would become like a Sanyasin.
This microscopic eye would make him aware
As to the results/consequences of his activity (karmaphala)
Which would further stop him from doing anything
Without certainty (Yaqeen).
So, for a man with Knowledge, Conviction (Iman),
Certainty (Yaqeen) and intention (Niyyath),
Just doing any ritual because it is commanded
Doesn’t make sense
Especially doing things/rituals,
In the way, language, tone, time and content
Decided and dictated by someone
Far behind.
The water is never boiled
Unless it is heated up sufficiently.
Hence, the prayer and seeking too.
A prayer or seeking becomes
Prayer and seeking
When it is done
At the time one is really heated up
To be boiling,
According to the level,
State and situation in which he is,
In the tone, language and content
He decides for himself
According to level
Of his knowledge, conviction and intention
So, in this case,
If Udhiya (sacrifice of slaughtering) is to show
Your preparedness to sacrifice
At the cost of your dearest possession,
It should not be at the cost of
Innocent lives of millions of cows and goats only.
And it should not be
Just because there is command in a religion,
Which one happens to be born in
Without his choosing.
It should not be done by one
Who is not prepared to sacrifice himself
For the cause of seeking and reaching the truth.
At the time when this practice
Of slaughtering animals was introduced
Cows, camels, goats, etc were
The best and dearest earnings and possessions.
But, now the nature of
Earnings and possessions has changed.
At the time of Abraham,
Since the nature was full
With abundance of resources
And less humankinds,
Children were considered to be
The biggest earning.
So, symbolically
Children were asked to be sacrificed.
(Still unbelievable to consider
The ultimate and almighty asks for these silly).
This change process has to occur to now also.
It has to be leaving your
Luxury cars and ornaments.
It has to be the shares in share markets
Give them to the poor those who are near.
No need of going to Mecca
And give the same there.
It has to be newly constructed buildings.
Give them to the poor to stay in
It has to be good real estate land properties.
Give them to the needier to construct their houses.
It has to be power and money
Use them in such a proper way
That it solve the problem of poor.
Quran says:
“You will now get reward
Until you spend for what is dearest to you.”
For sure, now the dearest is not the goats available
In Mecca market at the time of Hajj.
It is your money and other possessions
In your village or city.
Killing is wrong,
Especially if it is in the name of God
It is true one cannot live
Without killing other.
If so, it should be only for
Sustaining life and survival.
Not for sustaining God and belief.
Limiting God into silly wants of blood
Is cruelty towards God and concept of God.
Such Gods of wants and orders are not Gods.
But are devils.
If need be
Slaughter where people starve
And need food of meat.
Don’t do it in a particular place
In a particular day.
To seek God,
There is no particular place,
And there is no particular day.
Qur’an says: “Wherever you turn your face,
There is face of God”.
God is there with you
Even if you didn’t seek him.
So only is God is God.
He doesn’t seek your seeking
And you prayer
For him, as a need
To sustain and survive.
And you need him (God) because
You want to return to your nest.
God is there in sand-grain too.
But never try to say
God is there only in sand grain.
And not any where other than sand-grain.
Qur’an again says:
“Did you see the one who deny the Religion?
He is the one who shuns/turn away the orphans
And doesn’t encourage giving food to the poor”
Hear again what Quran says
“The righteous deeds are not turning towards east or west
But is believing (with knowledge and conviction)
In God and hereafter
And giving the richness, on his own liking,
To near and poor…….”
“The true guidance is only to the one
With “Thaqwa” (ultimate and sharp awareness / microscopic sight)"
But, who has this awareness, good intention and good sharp sight.
