SAYINGS & WISDOMS

The approved standard that makes the

difference between people is never biological
belonging, language, race, culture, status,
might or money; it is how closed and obedient
you are to the Almighty Allah and his
messenger peace be upon him

While a person dreams of becoming someone

else, norms drive him down to remain as he is.
A person always longs for a new future, yet
norms reject but sticking to an old past. We
have been imprisoned since the moment we
were born, yet, fortunately, we are capable to
get back our freedom by the time we grow up
and develop self-awareness. To my opinion, if
you want to make a change, you ought to
change the norms.

Truth is what we look for. We may differ in the way we think of it, but it is still
that existential concern which will bring us together one day

Science and religion remain two wings of the same bird. Such a
conclusion does not only correct human conception about the world
and truth, but it also bridges the gap between the “I” and “the
other” and makes the horizons of Civilizational Dialogue more and
more spacious.

If the materialistic tendency in thinking and judging makes one’s

point of view superficial and incapable to recognize the spiritual
dimension of knowledge, then what one cannot prove at once, he
should not disprove it at all.

Culture may be a part of The truth of “Charaff” has something to

Religion, yet Religion has never
been a part of Culture. Culture is
an earthly human production, but
Religion is a heavenly divine
revelation. Culture is relative in
essence, yet religion is absolute in
nature.
do with your spiritual knowledge and
religious belonging rather than your
family tree, social status, norms, history,
and reputation. Otherwise, “nobility”
(Charaff) will ever remain one of the socio-
historical myths that all truth seekers will
ever fight against.
