A few analogies...
-
peace all,
In chat today on QuranConnection.com, a couple of analogies were discussed, thought others might find them interesting... some have been said before.
This world is a computer, al kitab is the operating system, al quran is the user guide.
This world is a theatre, the stories in al quran are the plays, al quran is the script, but the actors are always changing.
ibadah/servitude
If one were to service a machine, by simply doing one small positive act, such as oiling a cog-wheel (i.e a component of the machine), then whilst the act was done on only one part of the machine, it would be true to say that one served the whole of it. This observation holds, no matter how many components the machine has, be it ten or billions. I believe in this, lies the foundation to understanding the concept of serviing (ibadat) The God, as expressed in 'the reading' (al quran), i.e. you get what you put forth, so if you serve something greater than oneself, the whole, you will receive the whole in return, The God.4153 - signs everywhere
For those of you who have done those connect the dots pictures, well, the dots are like God's signs, they are everywhere, all the person needs to do is connect the dots to see the big/whole picture. -
