Thank you for your answer. I suppose if it is possible to articulate the ineffable and to bring into words the union with god, and if you have yourself experienced this union with god, can you put it into words? What does it feel like? How would you describe this divine contact/ this garden?
Hey Zee,
Sorry for not replying earlier. There are all kinds of Divine experiences that I could articulate. For example, the feminine/garden thing feels like your entire world -- every atom of everything you see, breath, think -- is Tranquility -- simultaneously, feels like woman moving toward you, as if about to move into a kiss. There are other experiences (I guess more fearful), where your entire being is split from the head to the navel (pretty much as it says on the Islamic tin, in fact) by a "Hand". Other times it might just be chillin with my peeps, having an icecream by the ocean, or seeing birds in flight, knowing these are all signs of Love fashioned just for "me" as this moment and this time, in deferral to the Love.
Any good?
This sounds pretty wild, perhaps (and I've only offered a couple of the lighter going ones). But it is always interesting how "mainstream" Muslims are very averse to talking about any kind of direct "contact" -- in fact, guys in the style of Ahmed Deedat like to mock the Christians who pretty much uniformly value the concept of Grace and direct experiences of being personally in communication with Jesus. I HAD previously said -- this is because a scientism/rationalism has "infected" the ummah.
But more engagement has led me to realise -- their position is UNIQUELY (and naturally) culturally "Muslim". Because scientific rationalism as we know it was perfected by Muslim culture -- it was a genetic experiment that went out of control. Two vague ideas I'm playing around with, following my 5 percenter Islam flirtation:
1) Richard Dawkins (aka "the devil", aka "white man" humanist rationalism par excellence) is the product of a brilliant Muslim scientist known as Yakub, who was performing alchemical genetic experiments, funded by the Meta-Sultan at the height of the Caliphate over 6000 years ago, when it ruled over both the continents of Lemuria and Atlantis. Yes, Dawkins is a MUSLIM invention (like the Jewish myth of the Golem, a Frankenstein's monster made by humans of clay) that has now run out of control. At some point, about 70 to 60 years ago, Dawkins entered the fringes of the Caliphate and laid with the Muslim women, producing half-human children, of which Ahmed Deedat is one, and these in turn produced more. Dawkins has been part of the system for a while, but only recently emerged publicly. I challenge anyone to produce his birth certificate if you don't believe me!
Why is this experiment not in the 1001 Muslim inventions exhibition at the so-called "Science" museum currently running in London? Why is it not mentioned in this paper? A GLOBAL conspiracy must be the only answer!
2) We will only become Scientists again if we begin teaching the supreme mathematics and recover the Idrisian muqatta'at. But this would require a real Sacrifice, one of Abraham and Issac/Ismail.
Love and Light,
The Tailor
Oh, more detail about Yakub and his creation of Dawkins here (but it's been adulterated somewhat with water of parochialism, I am repairing it as above):
