If you understand human psychology you'll understand why the highlighted verse here is one of the hardest verses in the Quran to implement and why the reward for doing so is literally Paradise. _ Busy yourself with things pertinent to your life and your success in this world and the next. Your time and your cognitive and emotional energies are precious commodities. Don't set yourself up for a future regret for having squandered them away now. #quran #gossip #islam #religion #sufism #spirituality #God #heaven One of the most dangerous human qualities lies in our naivety about human nature. It is quite easy to condemn evil when we see it as observers or read about it after the fact. We pretend that we cannot fathom how humans can be so cruel and like to elevate ourselves on a pedestal of self-righteousness. However, the fact remains that genocides and atrocities carried out against humanity were at the hands of fellow human beings. Experiments in psychology reveal troubling findings of what average people just like you and I are capable of doing and to what degree we can inflict suffering on others when the setting is a safe environment in a psychology lab, let alone being in a context in which we might have been led to believe we were under an existential threat. _ This episode addresses the question of the human capacity for evil and why becoming aware of it is the crucial component to prevent it. _ To listen to the episode you subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher. You can also stream it through Andalus Online. Link is in the bio. #podcast #psychology #evil #social #history #human If you fear disappointment, you’ll never experience the bliss of achievement. If you fear having your heart broken, you’ll never feel the experience of it being truly in love. If you fear abandonment, you’ll never feel the meaning of commitment. You have to be vulnerable if you want to experience the true essence of power. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on the most meaningful parts of this journey we call life. #love #happiness #life #joy #philisophy #sufism #quote #spirituality The key phrase in this quote is "the man which it forms." Before you condemn a belief system because of the actions of anyone who espouses it, investigate whether they have been following it. In terms of Islam, modernist types out there today who talk about the religion failing us, which is why it needs to be reformed, have it twisted. What in reality has happened is it is WE who failed religion, which expects of us more than we expect of ourselves. _ #religion #islam #hadith #quote #philisophy #sufism #quran And this world is debased...its events are numerous And its life is lowly...and its period is short And none is covetous over it...except the one lacking insight _ وذي الدنيا دنية...حوادثها كثيرة وعيشتها حقيرة...ومدتها قصيرة ولا يحرص عليها...سوى أعمى البصيرة _ Please include him in your prayers. _ "It is with heavy yet prayerful hearts that we like to inform you that our dear brother Usama Canon has been conclusively diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This recent news has been shocking, sobering, and overwhelming. As such, Usama will be taking time away from work and friends to adjust to his condition—as well as spend as much time as possible with his family while still in this earthly realm. Usama is currently mobile, and active, all praise and thanks are due to God." _ https://www.loveforusamacanon.org _ #islam #spirituality #poem #als #lougehrigsdisease #taleef #sufism ‎"Whoever worshipped Muhammad ﷺ, then Muhammed has died. And whoever worshipped God, then God is living and doesn't die." ‎-Abu Bakr as-Sideeq RA #islam #spirituality #sufism #hadith #quran #prophetmuhammad #fame The discussion I had with Dr. Peter Slezak had a packed house and it was a lot of fun. I LOVE THEOLOGY! Too bad we're mere mortals and had to go home to get some sleep. _ Anyways, for those who happen to be around and are interested, I'll be delivering a talk today about modernity and its impact on how religion is approached and engaged with. I'll try to get this one live streamed or at least recorded. #spirituality #faith #islam #religion #soul #science #modernity #sydney #atheism I'm going to be in Sydney today and tomorrow! _ Tonight I'll be on a discussion panel alongside Dr. Peter Slezak as part of the UNSW Islam Awareness Week held by the MSA, where we'll talk about religion, science, morality, worldviews, and the problem of evil. _ Tomorrow... not really sure what's happening to be honest. But apparently I'm going to be speaking or teaching or doing something somewhere in the afternoon. #sydney #australia #unsw #msa #islam #religion #atheism #philosophy #spirituality #faith #belief #science #lecture "Gentleness was never applied to anything except that it made it more beautiful, and harshness was never applied to anything except that it made it more ugly." - The Beloved ﷺ #islam #hadith #quran #faith #spirituality #soul #beauty #gentle
