"A Spiritual Perception"
Law of Nature and its Will
There are two distinct tenets in Islam
First is the commands of God and the second is his WILL
God’s commands are in the Holy Quran as the
LAW OF NATURE
But God’s WILL can be known only through his Wisdom (Hikma)
His Will cannot be known from being religious
His Will cannot be known by learning religious knowledge, following commands, sharia, tafsir, learning the tales and stories of prophets and sahabas
His Will cannot be learnt by turning the life stories of sahabas into magic stories by taking the literal interpretations of the Quran
His will cannot be gained by learning the theories and principles set down in the hadith
His Will cannot be known by learning the hadith claimed to be said by the prophet and his disciples claimed to be said authentic by the scholars and hadith narrators
His Will cannot be known by reading and reciting the Quran, its tafsir, reading the hadith or learning the experiences of prophets and sahabas because it is not your experience
His Will cannot be known by believing and worshiping a God because God knows your belief is consistent and God know he doesn’t come to your mind when you worship him
His Will cannot be known by reading Sahih Buhary, sahih muslim, Tirmidi or reading the hadith of Abu Huraira
His Will cannot known by continuously sinning, repenting and earning the so-called rewards given by God said by the scholars
His Will cannot be known by affirming and pronouncement of Arabic words
His will cannot be know by following the sunnah of Muhammed
His Will cannot be known by becoming a moulavi, a Hafiz, a mufti, an ash sheikh or an Alim
However
God wants man to do good and eschew evil
But it is because of his Will the good and evil exist
Knowing his Will is not limited to a community following Islam claimed to be believers
His Will is unlimited to all mankind following humanity
His Will can be known by learning the purpose of your birth
His Will can be known by serving humanity
His Will can be known by learning the uniformity within the diversity (Oneness of God)
His Will can be known by man knowing his own self (nafs)
“Man arafa nafsahu, fakad arafa Rabbahu”
By knowing your own self, Man discover the truth because God is closer to man than his jugular vein – Quran 50.16
His Will can be known only through Self Realizing your own self
