The true knowledge of God is not in books and intellect but in love and commitment.
Hmmmmmmmmm ??? ??? ???
Mind is something that we are not totally aware. I believe I must have love and commitment to have my share o f knowledge of God .But still the mind carries the key about achiving real love and showing true commitment . Emotions are cultivated in the boundaries of mind .
So my question is who is really responsible for the universal usury (Riba in Arabic) system of the modern world, is it the bankers, the pig farmers, or the borrowers, the pork eaters?
Salam,
Just a couple of months ago , I was ok about using banks for everyday transactions , keeping money in deposits ,using credit cards .....any service that banks provide that has nothing to do with interest. But now I have doubts.
After reading some articles and watching some documentaries about economy I reached a clear understanding of what usuary is and its effects on society . I know the reason why God forbids usuary now and my whole perception of modern life and related concepts of it, has changed.
I am aware of what is going on now and I feel responsible . Becouse the price of knowledge is responsibility.After learning the real scheme of modern era financing system , I don't want to have any kind of contribution to that system .
But at this point the real problem arises . How am I going to achive not having any contribution to their system? Everything is so interrelated.
Belief is human ability to turn things into lies.
This is simple, but till the point where the trust is not carried with the eyesight, is the journey of rebirth and getting into light.
And that is tough.
If you trust the seen you'll miss the unseen. Because the seen is the sum of form, and God is without beginning nor end, formless wisdom which applies to any form. The belief dictates one's gravity. The gravity of the mind has to be in harmony with that of the earth and what keeps Universe together.
Whatever you trust besides God, you'll get limited by it. Because the form is anything with limits, and beyond any limit is the Praiseworthy One.
Attachment on forms is a symptom of trust on them. Dettachment from forms is the path to liberty. And this teach many wiseful cultures. Wherever you drill on the earth, you'll aim towards the core. And the core of the earth is part of the sun.
Wooooowwwwww bravo Never ending search ! The real joy and the real beauty in the meaning of life !
Salam All,
I have a friend who is interested in islam . He says that he needs inner peace and he somehow feels that islam can give him what he needs.
I already told him about my belief system , my perception of life and all its apects according to my values which I derived from Quran . I also told him to read Quran hisself to find his answers . I emphasized how it is important to read Quran with the intention of understanding and it is actually easy to undestand. I talked about that It is the real source of guidance .
He is convinced and started to read Quran but apparently he is having some diffuculties in understanding that he is postponing reading it.
When I tell him about my experiences and views about real islam he seems fascinated.I am confused.
Are there anything more that I can do for him ? Or maybe my approach is wrong ?
Thanx
