Philosophy of Prayers

Prayers have lasted for centuries in the history for a reason. They work in an unfathomable manner. To the people demanding rationale for everything, we can just say that maybe by giving us the psychological ease of doing our routine tasks and achieving our goals after praying, we extract benefit from our prayers.

It should be noted that disbelievers don't pray and because they don't, they are attracted towards other ways to motivate themselves therefore only the self-motivators and the people with sheer commitment to their cause who do everything with conviction and have to adopt a lifestyle of people with mixed personalities and successful attributes in history, achieve success in modern world.

Saying that it happened because Allah has accepted your prayers doesn't seem to impress an unbeliever if the intention is that of impression. If the intention is to make him a believer, a rationale with reference to Allah's superpower should work. Why? Because the rationale will satisfy his earlier desire of disbelief and the mention of Allah's power has to lead him to submission if Allah wills.

So, all foodies of thought, here you go. Enjoy 😋

The Hybrid Islam

There are a lot of horrendous things going on in our country. Murdering in the name of religion or anyway has become so common that each and every day of our lives when we listen to a terrorist or mob attack around, we react indifferently. Why? Because it never stops. It never ends and we have shed all of our life's tears already...we are dried up from within.

They call us a tolerant nation...clapping...but what's worth it when we don't use our tolerance in a positive way and guide our nation out of this crisis. The crisis is the anarchy which is executed in the name of a hybrid Islam that we have now...a hybrid that is so different from the original that it is jeopardizing its very existence...with so many sects and groups lead by mullahs of all kinds...who spread violence, hate speech, intolerance and their modified version of true Islam dictated by fatwas just to gain popularity, money, social status and a right to exploit the mindset of idiots. The solution?

Majority mullahs don't have the aptitude to give fatwas or any religious teaching whatsoever. And these mullahs are born every other day giving rise to humungous number of idiotic fatwas, hate speech and extremist culture. Good scholars need to standardize these things and government needs to work parallel with them to create a system whereby such production of mullahs is stopped. The root is in the production.

Otherwise, I fear, our next generation will know a completely different picture of Islam.  I, for once, believe that we as Muslims should realize that by now, that it's our responsibility to spread the positive image of Islam and push our governments to take the necessary actions. If we let some bunch of idiots ruin this religion, it won't be long that people start converting to save faces.
