SarimBlog aims to provide a fresh narrative on classical and contemporary issues, showing how Islam challenges and compels and is both obvious and remarkable.
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.
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.
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.
During this period, God sent his final messenger, Muhammad sala Allahu ‘alayhi wasalam to renew his covenant, revive what had been lost and salvage humanity as a whole from the calamitous decay of Christian (and Jewish) theology. The Qur’an would serve as God’s Final Testament to clarify and to preside over all that had been revealed before, while confirming the fragmentary truths that continued to exist.
By the revocation of Mosaic ‘customs’, Paul’s inordinate influence above those who had met, lived and were chosen by Christ paved the way for ‘Christianity’ to become a completely distinct religion, not only severed from customs, as was Paul’s purported intention, but from the Judaic creedal texts and immutable realties that stressed the Oneness of God.
Just as Paradise is as wide as the heavens and the earth in a physical sense, the heavens above us and earth beneath us abound with signposts and markers to that very destination.
Atheism denies everything. It even denies the existence of any logical postulation, so it contradicts the postulations of Atheists themselves.
The chasm of ‘Atheism’ may have been avoided were Christians loyal to the true message of Christ; that he is God’s servant and messenger, not God in human form. Without doubt, Incarnationist Christians have a lot to answer for...
Worship can also be a choice, but in so far as our recognising our little worth or capability when it comes to changing the universal order, submission is inevitable.
