“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
Nature and guidance
Man is created in the divine image.his birth is immaculate and untainted and he is accomplished.
He is the realization of divine will.materialization of a purpose.
Nature is the creation and origination of thing vested with the apparent capacity to perform any act.
Fitrah means creation (specifically human creation)
Fitr means to open for example iftar meaning termination of an existing situation and intiation of a new one.
Fitrah flashes out a non existing entity with the reality and corporeality of a form or a shape and is an obvious fulfillment of the divine will.
Every child is born with the right nature (fitrat e saleema).
Fitrat e saleema means potential capacity to think and act fairly.it is immaterial whether his birth takes place in the house of a muslim or that of a non muslim.its divinely ordained.
No child is born,but follows the right nature : then his parents make him jew or Christian or a magian ,as a beast is born with all its limbs intact (or without defects) do you see one born maimed and mutilated?
Human nature is patterned on right path and no human being has the power to alter or modify the course sanctioned by allah.
Purpose of creation is to
1.worship/serving allah
2.gain his marifat/knowing (realization and fulfulment of a purpose)
3.pursuit of moral good
4.reach the stage of perfection.
Appointed term means specific reason and purpose
Six days mean six periods/phases
Allah has made him his successor/vicegerent to establish his uniqueness and superiority over all the creatures.
Quality of self consciousness/awareness (sense of reality) makes him superior to all the other creatures.
Khalifa refers to the children of adam ie whole of mankind.
Khilafat e arzi/vicegerency on the earth and also submission of angels to adam is a proof of man’s superiorty over other creatures.
Life and death is for evaluation and assessment on the basis of performance.
Universe and its hormony is for the realization of the human ideal of moral perfection.
SOLUTION
Show the right path = purpose of human life.
Desires/nafs ,shaitan ,duniya are enemies
Shaitan is worried about people on right track (steadfastness).
Righteous consciousness (being aware of own taqwa) is also a threat because nafs makes him adamant .
Islah e nafs (24/7)is the true righteousness.
Avoinding sins and fearing allah (taqwa/piety) is the most honoured of you .
Adam(as) is out of dust…. so there is no superiority based on blood or racial discrimination.
Righteousness makes his reward simply infinite and arrives at the stage of highest perfection.
Guidance =No duniya + surrender to the will of the god .
Wrong decision leads to pain and correct decision at crucial phase leads to lasting happiness.
First know the right path by using right sense.
Moral perfection can be attained only by patronizing good and discarding evil.
Highest of the nobel ideal is the attainment of proximity to god and acquisition of his pleasure and blessings.this ideal can be achieved only if the sense of god’s existence is grounded in human mind/marifat(education and training).
Nearness/qurb is gained by cultivation of nobler tendencies.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
