Kyaaaaaa I wanna post something? You know what? That's why religion only teach the most basic things. It's very general. A basic guides. It doesn't tell you about specific things you should be. But very foundational. Up to the highest. (But this is optional) If you don't get the basic right, then whatever you do, will be a deviation from Truth.

He was a well known Japanese scholar on Islam. He mastered both Zen Buddism and Islamic Sufism. He studied Ibn Arabi's works & was the first to translate the Quran from arabic to Japanese. He also made a few comparative studies of eastern & islamic philosophies. He's a polyglot, mastering over twenty languages. A true genius & enlightened master. http://www.worldwisdom.com/public/authors/Toshihiko-Izutsu.aspx "And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, and it guides to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy." [34:6] I am currently reading his book on language.

Muslims in the Phillippines have always been suppressed. Back then the government kill their village. Forging war. But I'm not sure now. I think it's getting better now. The people itself are fine(christians and muslims). But not the government (back then). I didn't watch the vid btw. ... But President Duterte got a strong personality. ... It's a religious country. Christians and muslims.

@zeroISinfinity you're bluffing. What you realize is your own soul. When you are(created from) nothing. The one who created that is Allah. The One who knows what is in every heart. You don't. You are describing a "soul" , that's why it didn't know what is in every heart. ...

Aakash...do you see everything as a manifestation of God? When you say I am God..

@zeroISinfinity Do what Allah love. Not doing what Allah hate. Follow Allah's Will. That's how you love Allah. Loving His creations is included in the first. But there's more~ ... Do I love everything? Hmm... Only GOD knows what is in every heart? You don't~

The definition of "My" here is different than what you have in your mind... It has it's chains that goes back to the prophet which inevitably connected to God... Actually the chains is countless. But I'll give you the simplest one. ....and I(Muhammad) am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to Allah's Will. [27:91] In arabic it's direct translation is Muslimeen. So the definition of "Muslim" is those who submit themselves to Allah's Will. But to do that you'd have to believe in the prophets. It's all interconnected. The Quran itself was given through Muhammad. ... The same thing with everything i've ever said. It has it's roots which i'd rather not e x p l a i n .. ~~ So it's my definition.

You know what? Don't make a joke out of your faith. Allah says : O you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam -(submission). [3:102] Whatever you say, might be a prayer.

Ok. But you are still Allah's creation. (Not a muslim means not believing in a God higher than you. And not accepting the previous prophets. Maybe you are that. Idk. It's my definition) He is rich in everything else but materialistically. Allah made his wealth sufficient, but not wealthy. In this world. Though he was offered the world. They use their wealth in the way of God.

@Aakash I hate you aakash. Why are mixing the two? You are you. God is God. You can only speak of the Absolute in the Absolute. Relative in the relative. It does make a difference.

Aha, I got it. But I have no interest to merge my reality with yours. My guru is Allah alone. It is He who brought me to other gurus. To it's creations.

@Aakash *sigh* you see a reflection of yourself. It has nothing to do with my reality. Whatever you say, is a reflection of your own inner being. This applies to everyone. I am not fighting. Will you believe that if I told you so? If the elephant can speak, it would have kick you and flee. Upon all your projections about God~

@Aakash Relax. I am speaking relative now. Why are you always speaking the absolute? You are fighting alone. It didn't even cross my mind that there's fighting. I know God is beyond all evil. It's wisdom. But my definition of God is ; [20:98] Your God is only Allah, there is no God besides Him. His Knowledge comprises everything.

You know why I wrote this 113 times when the chapters in the Quran is 114 ? Because there is one chapter that describes God's wrath. So it didn't start with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" The chapter is : R E P E N T A N C E ... It is understandable when the non-muslim speak something which is not true about the prophet, out of ignorance and not knowing. But for a muslim to say something untrue about him, i'm afraid that it will invites God's wrath. You know, when you say something which isn't true about him, Allah will be mad at you. When Allah is mad, the whole of creations will curse you. ... Prophet Muhammad is the kind of person, who will give his old clothe to someone whenever he got a new one. He truly do live simply. He got 11 wives, which all comes from God. Following God's instruction. It was a specialty for him only (others up to 4) , to show an example, in different circumstances, and to set the rulings about marriage & families. It's like a blueprint. ... Material success is fine. Given that you are responsible with it. But the prophet didn't chose material life for himself. He is rich in everything else but materialistically.

I am scared . . .

Rich in everything else.

@Truth Addict Prophet Muhammad didn't ended up rich. He chose to live minimally when Allah offered him the world.

@Leo Gura Did you doubt life after death? When all will return to their Creator. ? Physical death. When you've turned into dust.

The Quran is memorized by heart from generations to generations. Apart from the written one. It's not a big book either. Only 114 chapters. It was embodied by heart. Islam is a pretty recent religion. 1441 years. Yesterday was our new year oh yeahh! Haha A pious man says if we wrote "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" ~ 113 times on new year , our years will be filled with Mercy? ... Actually it is to reminds us of Allah's Graciousness & Mercy. Words can have it's own magic you know~

@Aakash Here's a more direct translation by words: Allah make a parable: A slave man who was owned by a few allied men who are in dispute, And a slave man who was owned fully by a single(One) Master. Are the condition of those two slaves the same? All praise be to Allah. But most of them do not know.. ... If there were many Gods (everything - the seen and unseen) , all these Gods will be in dispute, everyone with their own preferences and ideals. but the truth is, there is only One God who controls all. If you submit to Him, then everything else will be in accordance to His Will.

@Nahm I am currently reading a book by Toshihiko Izutsu, on language and magic. It is highly related to what you're talking about. Like arabic, language is not necessarily dualistic. Unless if you made it be. ... @khalifa I got more An old scholar with a white beard, Yet he does not know his spiritual state, He should not waste his time and energy, if he would break a heart. The heart is the throne of Allah, For, the Almighty looks at the heart. The loser in both worlds is the one who breaks a heart. -Yunus Emre-

Oh I found this parable✨ Allah puts forth a Parable - a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a (slave)man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah. But most of them have no knowledge. 39:29

I can realize aaaall that, except saying that it's God. It is Allah's creations~

But it won't be contradictory. It will be true. It reflects your truth. A reflections. A manifestations of your truth~^^

Says the one who haven't found God. What is your definition of God? My definition, is the One who controls and creates everything. When you deny God~ this is what happen. One says it's you, another says it's God higher than everything else. The implication of this is, One will be a slave to everything. Because you are everything. The other will be a slave to One God of all Creations. Slave x Master analogy : Would it be the same a slave who have many masters, serving all those picky masters. And the slave who have only one Master. Serving only Him. ? #having gods&goddesses vs having One God.
