SEEK NOTHING OUTSIDE YOURSELF

[Lightshow]

He said he searched for god and found himself.
He looked within and found god.

He is attributing divinity to himself.

How does one search for god and find himself if he is not attributing a divine aspect to himself.

Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said: Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him. It was related by al-Bukhari.

So your saying muslim have a divine nature.

Because thats what Rumi is saying.

I enterpret that as how a mother feels what her child feels. Truest form of empathy Allah has for his believers. But i dont think Muslims and Allah are one. Ying and yang type bond

 

[Keep it a boqol]

this sounds like some hamza yusuf stuff

How does one gain wisdom with learning about the outside world?

I understand that we should be introspective but not learning from the outside world is naive.

Thats how you end upon jahilya like rumi.

Agreed.. but learning from within is just as beneficial.
