Surrendering to God’s Knife of Mercy

The story of Prophet Abraham attempting to sacrifice narrated in the Quran is worth reflecting on especially during this season of pilgrimage and Eid of Sacrifice.
Picture

Journey to the Divine

Nursi explains that there are two ways of being in the world.
​The first is being aware of one’s vulnerable self (‘ajz and faqr), embracing this vulnerability and acknowledging with gratitude one’s dependence on the Sustainer (Rabb).
Picture

Messengers and Me

When we reject the messengers of God, when we resist belief in One, what is the result?
​Shackles around our neck, and barriers and veils around us.
Sounds harsh? Indeed it is.

Balance of Opposites

"As I started opening my heart to the wisdom in the balance of good and bad, I started feeling how even my worst nightmare till then, my vulnerability, was actually
​my most precious asset."
Picture

Principles of Quranic Hermeneutics

The one who surrenders oneself to the Truth (i.e. muslim)  is supposed to actually observe how everything in the observable world, (‘alam al-shahaada), indicates the Truth of tawhid, and consequently testifies to the truthfulness of the Quranic message.

Why Am I Sick?

In order to understand the meaning of illness, we must first think about the purpose of our lives.  Our lives are like tools that are given to us.  We are given the freedom to use them in numerous ways.
