Shahrukh K

That is another discussion. Not the topic of this thread.

this is main reason of your grate faults because you don't want learn from true source of experience & knowledge . Religion and scripture may guide us to Allah, but what use are they when we continue to lean on the understanding of others(ulema and scholars)? It becomes second-hand knowledge that is not experienced after a while. Allah invites us to wake up, and to do so we must take to the wilderness by ourselves without our fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers and ulemas and scholars. Here, we are able to witness for ourselves, firsthand, what has been pointed to by Allah and His divine vessels throughout the ages.

Walekum assalam brother, I will rephrase my statement........ we see evil and flashes of good. Good comes and go away evil stays permanently in this world which is temporary. I thought highlighted part is understood that is why i skipped it. When this will happen, this world is already overflowing with injustice. At the end of what. If permanent good comes in this world after i die it is of no use to me.

Why system of khilafat ends ? Who is responsible? Muslims of Turkey, muslims of arabs, shia, sunni, wahabi ?

Salamalaikum brother Ashwazdanghe, Every time i post after that i wait for your dislike. I like your dislikes, at least you are reading my post. Well i am not certain that what i know is right that is the only reason why i am on shiachat. I want to know from common man. i learn from people like you. I do not believe in scholars and ulema etc. We see evil and flashes of good. Good comes and go away evil stays permanently. Agree. We began our life with permission of Allah but can we become good or bad without permission of Allah ? What is this ? Imam Ali (عليه السلام) was an extraordinary person. He realized his self. He knows what we know not. Yazid and Shimr are still alive and now they are more powerful. But there is no Imam Hussain (عليه السلام) to stand for us. Tell me where is goodness, nowhere...... because nature of this world of darkness is evil.

This world appears to us because of the veil of ignorance (Nafs) we triggered when we touched the cursed tree. The nature of this world is itself evil where life feeds on life to survive. In other words this world is feeding ourselves to ourselves. If you look into living process of life closely, you will find evil everywhere. This is a fact, but it does not make you feel guilty of being alive. I began a life of cruelty by giving my mother endless trouble. To the last day of my life i will compete for food, clothing, shelter, holding on to my body, fighting for its needs, wanting it to be secure, in a world of insecurity and death. In this world where darkness exist effortlessly evil is not absence of good, good is absence of evil. You have to make efforts, fight your nafs to do good deeds.

What is the language of understanding/knowing ? Sometimes it happens to me that i know something but unable to express it in words. That means i do not need words or language to understand. I only need the words when I want to share what i know. I will try my best to answer the question. More i think i am convinced that the life is a story and "i am" living that story moment by moment. When the (present) moment comes before me it became alive and then that moment passed, like a moving frame of the movie when it comes before the light i can see it on the screen. It is only i am that converts those lifeless words or frame of movie into life.

Salam HopefulBeliever.

Your only proof that past exist is your own memory. A very uncertain proof it is. Surely, the memory of an event cannot pass for the event itself. Nor can the anticipation. There is something exceptional, unique, about the present event, which the previous, or the coming do not have. There is nothing peculiar in the present event to make it different from the past and future. For a moment the past was actual and the future will become so. What makes the present so different? Obviously, my presence. I am real for I am always now, in the present, and what is with me now shares in my reality. The past is in memory, the future -- in imagination.

Why ? God is just, it is the truth. You are not the only one facing this. Most of the muslims living as minority in other countries facing this. You are not talking about Islam, no where in Quran it is mentioned that women cannot go or pray in the mosque. This is by tradition not by Islam. there is no misogynist text in Quran. If you find any hadith which is against woman ignore it. Why act of other bothers you. It is not your duty to change the world. Alhamdolillah how fortunate you are, there are very few people in the world blessed with all these things like job and good family Have patience Allah will fulfill your wish. Turn inwards to your own self. Have patience.

They are Iblees.

Through self-forgetfulness, the idea ‘I am the body’ has appeared on you and you have slipped from your true state which is all bliss and fear-free. Realize this error and know that ‘I am not the body’ and be free from the miseries of birth and death. All the things that the worthless senses (mind,heart,emotions etc.) bring to you due to the deluded ‘I am the body’ idea are an obstacle to the experience of the Self, spurn them and eradicate them forever. You must have the firm conviction that ‘I am not the body’, it is due to the ‘I am the body’ ignorance that you believe that you exist apart from God and also have that strong ‘I am the doer’ feeling.

Is there anything wrong with Buddhism ? I am a seeker of truth. I am talking only what is in Quran. On the path to the One, our desire for anything other than God points to a hellish reality, while our yearning to know God leads us to a heavenly paradigm. In fact, if we each resisted desire, paradise would be our shelter (Quran 79:40-41). Yet we cling to our obsessions, we remain hypnotized by the lower self. Even while we acknowledge the reality of God through acts of worship, we find it hard to let go of our attachments or addictions. And what does Allah say regarding those who are slaves to desires in the Noble Quran? Consider the one who has taken his own desire as a deity, whom God allows to stray in the face of knowledge, sealing his ears and heart and covering his eyes who can guide such a person after God ? (Quran 45:23)

7:13. (Allah) said, “Descend from your rank, for this rank is not for arrogance and feeling superior over others! Go! Indeed, you have debased yourself.” 14. (Iblis) said, “Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected (after death).” 15. (Allah) said, “Indeed you are of those reprieved.” 16. (Iblis) said, “Because You have led me astray, I shall most certainly sit on Your straight path (sirat al-mustaqim) to prevent them.” 17. “Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left And You will find most of them as ungrateful to You. In 7:13 Iblees said i will sit on your straight path. That means..... 1. Iblees knows exactly what is straight path. 2. If someone is on crooked path S/he will not meet Iblees. 3. You have to cross Iblees on the straight path. 4. One of the sign that you are on straight path is meeting with Iblees.

In the statement "i am the body" Body is existence which is dependent on "i am" This thread talking about "i am" It is the "i am", which lies beyond existence and non existence and totally independent of body. "I am" limits itself when it identifies itself with the body. In this thought ‘I am the body’ there are two components, one is ‘the body’, the other is the ‘I’ (or ‘I am’). The body is something that appears and disappears. It keeps changing all the time and is dependant on outside materials such as food. The characteristics of the ‘I’ (or ‘I am’) are directly opposite to the component ‘the body’. The ‘I am’ exists all the time in all the states. That which truly exists, must exist all the time, which is not so for ‘the body’ therefore it cannot be real. Thus the ‘I’ (or ‘I am’) is real and ‘the body’ unreal and thus these two when joined together cannot constitute a real entity. How can day and night or light and darkness exist together? If one is there the other is not, in the same way no entity comprising of ‘I’ (or ‘I am’) and ‘the body’ exists. Therefore the ‘I am the body’ thought is itself false.
