The knowledge is the basis of every sublime state and the culmination of every high station. That is why the Holy Prophet said, 'It is the duty of every Muslim, man and woman, to seek the knowledge,' that is, the knowledge of precaution/guarding (taqwa) and certainty(in God and his signs). Imam 'Ali (‘a) said, “Seek the knowledge, though it be in China,” meaning the knowledge of gnosis of the self, in it is contained knowledge of the Lord.
The Holy Prophet said, 'Whoever knows his own self knows his Lord; moreover, you should acquire that knowledge without which no action is correct, and that is sincerity ... We seek refuge with Allah from knowledge which has no benefit', that is, from knowledge which is contrary to actions performed with sincerity.
Hasty to what? I don't care what Imam Whomeveri has to say about anything -at all, I thought I was having a conversation with you. If you'd like to lead a sermon, by all means, but I;m not interested.
I''m still waiting for some exalted wisdom, some plainly unique aspect of the storybook. I don't see it. This is part of your "argument for islam" - you need to make it happen.
-or not...I doubt that any of it actually matters to you, at this point. Your argument only exists as a script, not as an actual argument to be worked or assessed. It's all so -obvious....
...in any case, my every question from the last post stands - as you answered none, despite pretending to respond to anything I said. You may think that these are ridiculous questions to ask, rhetorical...but they aren't. I fail to see why you would not be a rabbit and harist, or a jack in the beanstalkist...if what you've been offering is the reason you are a muslim. If this, to you...is the reasoning behind islam being ture...then you shoudl have no problem accepting woodland marathon organizing committees and skyscraping beanstalks with geese that lay golden eggs. This is my honest opinion of both your belief, and what you've claimed to have reasoned from and too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
