SarimBlog aims to provide a fresh narrative on classical and contemporary issues, showing how Islam challenges and compels and is both obvious and remarkable.
In the relationship between man and woman, man embodies the dominant masculine principle infused with a subtle feminine element, while woman reflects the dominant feminine principle imbued with a subtle masculine element. Neither is a complete whole in isolation; each is a complementary half, and only through their union does the fullness of the human reality manifest.
The faithful servant places unwavering trust in his Creator, never succumbing to despair during tribulations, and remains hopeful for His all-encompassing Mercy. In times of calamity, the patient servant recognises that God has decreed it to be and He does whatever He Wills.
Earthly man enclosed in the prison of his five senses needs the excessive character of hyperbolas to make him aware of such realities that can only be truly seen by the supersensory Eye of the Heart awakened by complete piety or death.
This transient world is governed by age, decay, death and destruction, it is the limited domain, a cage and prison for the immortal soul, whereas the Heaven is under the Countenance of God, the Infinity and hence inexhaustible.
Modern science worships the shadow and forgets the light — mistaking fragments of creation for the source itself. Traditional science did not concern itself as much with causation. Rather, it observed and recorded patterns and correspondences in the natural world, always recognising that causality lies with God.
Islam best manifests the monotheistic simplicity. Sitting within man’s disposition, it is the logical conclusion of any sound mind, so rationally accessible that a child can understand and follow it, while simultaneously so profound that its meanings perpetually hold the greatest scholars and philosophers in wonderment and awe.
Gaza stands as the clearest manifestation in modern times of the stark contrast between truth and falsehood, and the failure of these international bodies to recognize this reality underscores the complete moral collapse of these pseudo-moralists who dare to draw arbitrary lines in the sand.
When man accepts his limitations, woman accepts her limitations. But when man gives himself delusions of grandeur, women follow suit. When man submits to God, woman accept the limited designated authority of her humble father and humble husband over her, when man rebels against God, woman rebels against her husband.
Idolatry on the other hand is the enslavement, entrapment and imprisonment of our soul to this temporary and transient world which suffocates and asphyxiates our immortal human soul.
Idolatry extends beyond the worship of statues or rulers. It encompasses the adoration of wealth, status, and popularity - false deities devoid of inherent power to bestow happiness or inflict harm.
