Adam and Eve (Part 2)

The inhabitation of Adam in paradise The Prince of Believers (PUH) said in Al-Nahj: Then God made Adam inhabit a place of much grace and made it a safe place for him, and warned him of Iblis and his hostility, and so his foe envied him (Adam) for his place of inhabitation and his company of the faithful, so then he (Adam) paid for what was so sure with his doubt, and for the power with his weakness, and exchanged hilarity with fear, and pride with regret, then God Relented toward him and Gave him the words of His mercy and Promised him that he would be back to his paradise, and Got him down to the place of troubles and breeding. What is apparent from this speech of the Prince of Believers (PUH) and from lot of tales and Holy phrases about the subject of Adam's paradise that God made him inhabt, that it is the paradise that God promised for His faithful after life for their deeds, or even as a gift for these of faith in His prophets and Holy Books, and so his saying (PUH) about the...

Through the Eyes of Death

My very death has come before me. There, waiting off in the distance across the open meadow. My enemy, whose bounds of fortitude stretch mightily across the deadened fields, and whose weapons and armor shimmer against the rise of the morning sun. How I wish at this moment that I could live to see its evening setting. A site whose beauty I have taking for granted. Yet I know the suns fall will come sooner as I look out across the landscape with disquietude. I am at awe at the infinite number of men who stand waiting anxiously to annihilate. It is a battle we cannot win.                                 We, though out numbered, stand forbearing as our imposing leader prances before us on his majestic horse. With an imperious voice he shouts for the lines to hold strong. He shouts again for us to stand in reliance while raising his sword ...

We're All Unique in Our Anger

How easily people move through problematic anger will vary widely from person to person. For some the journey with anger is relatively easy and with a few months of dedicated process work they no longer find anger is giving them problems. For others, it may be years of dealing with chronic anger before things finally lighten up. Why it's easier for some than others has to do with the causes of anger and the depths at which those causes operate. Some causes may be relatively recent and superficial, and change may come with relative speed and ease. Other situations can be deeper and more complex and may take more time. Once we have some understanding of our anger patterns, there are many methods to help us move forward. And whether anger is relatively new in our life if we find ourselves struggling with anger after some years, our best option is to start fresh right now and to make a journey forward with perseverance, intelligence, and gentleness.

Adam and Eve (Part 1)

Useful Caution About what was been told in the Holy phrases of the saying of the damned which is "Now, because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path...etc", it is apparent that the damned thought God made him astray and this is something can't be accepted by the right-thinking minds and it is against and opposes the justice and the holiness that are well-known of God may praise be to Him, and above all these mistaken words about Him He shall be. And so the damned appointed to God that He made him astray, and this is what is mentioned in the creed of Jabarism [Another coined term by me] of Al-Asha'irah (?) [seems a branch of this creed], and it is one of the corrupted believes without any doubt about that, because its contents is not accepted by me, nor others would accept it for themselves. Is it possible for someone to accept for himself being mentioned that he obliged a slave of him...

The Sky

Image
Under the sky I was born,  I grew up to be a boy, Then a man with strong bones, Two decades have passed by,  Since the first day I saw the sky, And today, here I stand, Strongly with my own on this land, Looking up, as far as I can, It’s still there, the blue sky, Still watching me, and smile, That what was in my mind. But I wonder what is behind those skies, Because it’s always there no matter what the times, Make me calm, watch me cry and even make me smile, That why I wonder, “who is behind those sky?” Written by Nik Ahmad Fariq B Nik Ibrahim. 29 January 2010.
