" I (The self Existing One) was a Hidden treasure i wish to be recogonize so i created."
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise. - Swami Vivekananda
Ridiculous. People don't live in vaccuo. It's all relationship and a person or persons could be ruined by an infinity of natural, circumstantial situations, including crimes of all sorts. The crimes of men are as natural as anything else. Progress can only be made with good, well published laws.Originally Posted by NikolaiI
You are right I guess, in truth most of the bad that happens is not because of solely us; but as far as I am concurred, The blame may not be solely mine, but if I am the only one suffering I shall consider the blame as all mine. Otherwise everything shall be lost in the wind.
I think most cultures have been trained in responsibility and irremediably in guilt. Catholicism and Christianism in general are very good examples. But I agree with you that if you were the only one suffering, whatever blame would be yours.
Anything is lost in the wind nevertheless. It's a good thing. Just try to imagine what would happen if it weren't the case. Can you imagine if BS could not go away? Can you imagine if the wind and silence did not clean and devour the vogue? How much room do you think there would still be available for new speeches?
A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century. - Swami Vivekananda
The most difficult phase of your life is not when no one understands you, it's when you don't understand yourself...
Chapter 50, Book Quran, Author : God (Allah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah.s Messenger..
2. But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing!
3. "What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)."
4. We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
5. But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
6. Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
7. And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)-
8. To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah..
9. And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests;
10. And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another;-
11. As sustenance for ((Allah)'s) Servants;- and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection.
12. Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud,
13. The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
14. The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba'; each one (of them) rejected the apostles, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them).
15. Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
16. It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
17. Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.
18. Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it).
19. And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!"
20. And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given).
21. And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness.
22. (It will be said"Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!"
23. And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!"
24. (The sentence will be
25. "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions;
26. "Who set up another god beside Allah. Throw him into a severe penalty."
27. His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray."
28. He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning.
29. "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants."
30. One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the full?" It will say, "Are there any more (to come)?"
31. And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more a thing distant.
32. (A voice will say
33. "Who feared ((Allah)) Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him):
34. "Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!"
35. There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more besides in Our Presence.
36. But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)?
37. Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth).
38. We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.
39. Bear, then, with patience, all that they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting.
40. And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises, and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration.
41. And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quiet near,-
42. The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth: that will be the Day of Resurrection.
43. Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal-
44. The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us.
45. We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!

I(Usman) testify that there are no gods but Allah and there is no partner for Him. And I testify that certainly Muhammad (is) His (Man)worshipper and His Messenger.
These are quotes for me..
Al-Balad (The City, This Countryside) Author :God
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. I do call to witness this City;-
2. And thou art a freeman of this City;-
3. And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;-
4. Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.
5. Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?
6. He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!
7. Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?
8. Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-
9. And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-
10. And shown him the two highways?
11. But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.
12. And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-
13. (It is: ) freeing the bondman;
14. Or the giving of food in a day of privation
15. To the orphan with claims of relationship,
16. Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.
17. Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.
18. Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.
19. But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand.
20. On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).
Most Englishmen, if forced into analysing their own creeds - which Heaven forbid - are convinced that God is an Englishman, probably educated at Eaton.

Prayer must not be answered: if it is, it ceases to be prayer and becomes correspondence.

I have always envisaged death and the Resurrection of the body as like finding your motorcar after a party.
Nancy Mitford.
"It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race, though it is a race dedicated to many absurdities and one which makes many terrible mistakes: yet, with all that, God Himself gloried in becoming a member of the human race. … As if the sorrows and stupidities of the human condition could overwhelm me, now I realize what we all are. And if only everybody could realize this! But it cannot be explained. There is no way of telling people they are all walking around shining like the sun. … it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed. . . . I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other."
