The method to faith:



The human being, even the brightest mind is subject to going awry in this changeable world. This inconsistency has a purpose, a logic, a method often misunderstood by the fickle man in a fickle world.

Quite similar to a child whose fancy is caught by a butterfly on his way back home and he starts chasing it. Lost in time and space. Caught up in a temporary wonder. In the mean while God moves a  poisonous snake away from the child to a mouse. Then the tree sheds a branch so that the child can trip and fall and an ant hill is saved . The child gets up and the butterfly is gone. He looks around and remembers he had to go home. He is back on the path. The lone wolf who passed that path just a while ago is long gone totally unaware of the juicy prey it never knew was so near by. The wind has made the apple tree shed some apples for the child’s basket. The flowers have woken up to brighten his morning along the way but the child oblivious to what’s around him , prances on; a bit saddened over the butterfly he couldn’t catch and a bit excited at showing the apples he had gathered to his mother.

There is method to this fickleness.

Mans attempts at denying this fickleness usually translate into an obsession for control. That too, fickle!

The whole universe conspired to help the child but he thinks he reached home on his own because there is no recordable and meaurable (fickle) evidence.

It is only the fool who can attribute all this method in changeability and temporality to coincidence and not see the purpose.

There is method to faith and that method is the reason!

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to...

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...
