How Islam Introduces God: 1

Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful) : H e is Merciful alike to all His creations. Whether they are believers or non-believers, atheists, people who engage in blasphemy and take His name in disrespect.., whoever they are, He shows them Mercy indiscriminately. The earth created and proportioned with pure air, water, beautiful terrains, rains, all factors necessary for the mental and physical well being of His creations, are signs of His Mercy. He is the Creator, but He doesn't just create and leave. He cares about His creations from ants, to bees, to spiders and insects and birds and fish to flowers and fruits to human beings. A beautiful sunrise that cheers..  A sunset that calms and relaxes.. Night and day, rain and clear skies, chirping birds, breeze, summer, winter, spring, autumn, seasons, the way our body functions and how our heart beats through the night even when we are sleeping.. the order of the orbits, the rhythm of seasons and celestial planets.. all ...

The Learning Quran and Post it Initiative

When I started off this blog, I thought I could talk about Islam quite well because I was pretty knowledgeable about Islamic concepts. Ofcourse, now I realize its not true. I am very ignorant. But I would like to share what little I know and I am planning to learn Quran from the scratch and post it here so that my blog grows along with me.  My intended plan of action is to learn Quran in the order of revelation to the Prophet. Because, this was revealed to the Prophet when he was ignorant, at the age of 40. So the revelation introduces God, the relation of man to God, the purpose of creation.. And I am pretty much on the same starting point.. ignorant and I would like to be introduced to God, who He is.. what He is for me.. and why I am here... and then start off my faith at that tangent. I think thats the best way to learn Quran... atleast I would like to experiment that way. Lets see how it goes... and where we arrive! :)

Qualities to benefit from Quran

In Quran, God mentions a few qualities to be possesed by a person who can benefit from it. Refer to chapter 2, verses 1 - 4. ( http://www.tafheem.net/main.html ) The qualities are :- 1. Piety - The desire to distinguish between good and evil, and the determination to shun what is evil and to adhere to what is good. This is the first quality that should be there in a person who can benefit from this book which was revealed for guidance to mankind. 2. The person should have faith in "ghaib" or concepts beyond his sensory perception. These concepts include God, angels, revelation and so on. If a person is determined to first sense God with his senses such as sight, or hearing or touch and then only believe - he can never benefit from this book. 3. The person should possess the intention to obey God at all costs - even if it goes against his selfish interests. 4. The person should have the willingness to pay the claims on his property of both man and God. He shouldbt be miserly o...
