I don't know how to identify the truth. I don't even know if I can be certain that my reason is true. How could I know the truth based on fact not sentiment?
Yeah that's true. If you truly seek God, HE will find you in ways we won't expectYour sentiments can lead u to the fact and then ultimate truth only when your sentiments are of divine and pure.....so the very first step you have to take is to purify your sentiments.
How can I purify my sentiment? Because I need some clarification in islam. Just some few basic questions. I don't know if you can help me, because u indeed understand what I'm talking about.M.I.A r u pointing out my reply?
knows best.Good, you indeed got the whole thing to the basics. So here goes my question what is the essence of Allahhey,
Everyone of our Journey is different. However:
In Islam it says to THINK and believe. Do not believe blindly, think and reason.
Anyways, use your mind / reason and think. But, do not cut off your heart. i.e. Use your mind to reason, etc. but do not "block" your heart.
you can say your mind is a kind of "anti Virus" that can prevent disbelief from entering. Only Allah can guide you. And Allah knows the contents of the heart.
So make lots of supplications to Allah (not Jesus) only God. Anyways, if you are confused, just keep making dua to Allah.
if you are confused on who Allah is, make dua to Allah, and seek to know Him. (Read Quran with the intention to get close to Allah)
In short, be honest, and try your best. Allah will definitely guide, In shaa' Allah, if you seek it.
Allah guides whomever He wills. But if you seek Allah (i.e. turns back to Him), then surely Allah will guide you.
Truth / Islam is not based on faith alone. Much of it is faith (believing in the unseen, etc.) but that is only because we know it is from Allah.
Anyways, may Allah guide us all. Ameen.
Put all of your questions here and we will, In shaa' Allah (God-willing), be able to answer you. And Allahknows best.
Thanks a lot I'm getting the picture nowYasmeen mujahid and nouman ali khan are well known Islamic scholars..I would like to recommend these names to you.their lectures will definitely help you to get out of your confusion.
I have another questionU have no need to put a question mark with the name of Allah .Allah will clarify his essence to you himself when he finds you sincere in your efforts as far as the search for Allah (God) is concerned.
