If we're to look at life as a
weight bar, there is so much weight on
the lives of Muslims right now militarily, politically,
economically, socially,
and we have to help each other. We
have to spot each other to be honest
with you to help us pull through.
But subhanAllah, one of the things that allows
us to stay balanced and not put too
much needed weight on that bar is the
science of filk, the science of mizan, the
science of measures, the science of balance, the
science of
that may sound strange because the post colonial
mind sees religious legislation
as an opportunity to be enslaved, limited and
restricted,
where Islam looks at filk as the science
of the emancipation
to be free from the gunyah,
to be free from unhealthy attachments so that
a person could be light and move quickly
in worshiping Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That's why
the prophet said in the context of general
understanding, whoever Allah intends good for, he gives
them an understanding of religion.
Religion vis a vis the corrupt nature of
this dunya and its its corrosive impacts on
our lives that keeps us away from worshiping
Allah.
