Hi everyone,

Last few hours of the Fast.

I dedicate this day to God. He it is Who has given us unconditional love and life and creation. There is no Father so wonderful, so glorious, beyond praise and gratitude.

And love and greetings to everyone here.

Was reading this and it makes perfect logical sense;

“31. There are four causes of infidelity and loss of belief in Allah: hankering after whims, a
passion to dispute every argument, deviation from truth; and dissension, because whoever
hankers after whims does not incline towards truth; whoever keeps on disputing every
argument on account of his ignorance, will always remain blind to truth, whoever deviates
from truth because of ignorance, will always take good for evil and evil for good and he will
always remain intoxicated with misguidance. And whoever makes a breach (with Allah and
His Messenger) his path becomes difficult, his affairs will become complicated and his way to salvation will be uncertain”.

Taken from the “Nahjul Balagah”.

Many passages in the Bahai writings that also say things along this line. Thus must take time out to consider this advice.

Careful 😉 Oh dear Martin! 🤷

The posted passage that contains much wisdom is this;

“31. There are four causes of infidelity and loss of belief in Allah: hankering after whims, a
passion to dispute every argument, deviation from truth; and dissension, because whoever
hankers after whims does not incline towards truth; whoever keeps on disputing every
argument on account of his ignorance, will always remain blind to truth, whoever deviates
from truth because of ignorance, will always take good for evil and evil for good and he will
always remain intoxicated with misguidance. And whoever makes a breach (with Allah and
His Messenger) his path becomes difficult, his affairs will become complicated and his way to salvation will be uncertain”.

It is for all Martin and all includes me and you 😃

As for me I will put it into practice hopeful more each day 😊. As for you and all others it is for you and them to decide as to what the advice is telling you and them. 😉

God Bless and Regards Tony

If you knew anything about practicing a Faith that Jesus taught you would refrain from depending on Islamic views about their messengers.

Are you making judgement?

Is not do unto others first and for most!

Until one listens to Jesus FULLY and letting him speak what he really means, this judging is not judgment of character but the error looking at things subjectively . Don’t get confused by the difference.

That is a mans judgement that I am not Fully letting Jesus speak to me 😉

I would offer I am not confused as what is from man and what is from God

That is all that is needed to be said on that matter - God Bless

I’m not judging your character. So let it go Tony. Still missing my point.

Another good reflection for all Faiths;

“The world is continually proclaiming these words: Beware, I am evanescent, and so are all my outward appearances and colours. Take ye heed of the changes and chances contrived within me and be ye roused from your slumber. Nevertheless there is no discerning eye to see, nor is there a hearing ear to hearken.”

Tablets of Baha’u’llah

It is the Spirit that gives LIFE. The Flesh counts for NOTHING.
