Buddha in Islam: Sh. Hamza Yusuf (Pt 1)

On December 20, 2016April 10, 2017

Last night, I came to learn of Buddha in Islam by Sh. Hamza Yusuf. It has been a topic of discussion amongst many of the Muslim Scholars. Subhan Allah. * The Abrahamic faiths’ belief in God and the Last Day is not understood in the same manner in either Buddhism […]

Silence. The Orchestration of the universe is heard in your silence: in your contemplation of the meaning of life and living, plug out – plug in within. How deep can you listen? The Expander of the universe is ever expanding one’s heart and knowledge if only one, sincerely, asked. You […]

George Orwell, a Literature Intellectual who created political art, was interested and mentally grasped by trends, and how they can potentially impact the future. In 1984 he set out to warn his own society about its own trends – sophisticated meaningless entertainment, and empty headed news reports.. all referencing freedom. […]

All the human souls, that have ever existed and will exist, were brought forward on a plane in Divine Presence and were asked: “Am I not your Lord?” The souls replied: “Yes indeed, we witness.” This truth is buried in each of our souls, and we each are searching for […]

No one gets to choose the way in which the wind blows. We can say our branch is strongest that it’s highest and it’s best, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s connected to the rest. So instead of ripping leaves off perhaps we ought to stop, to ask […]

But lend me your attention. Do you see something *blatantly* messed up about our world? Or do you see it flourishing, as we are the most advanced civilization? There’s truth in both, but to which side are the scales tipping most? An Arab poet said that we are living in […]

Islamic Wisdom. * The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings.
