THE MATRIX

As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

All praises for Allah Karim; Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' ! Darood-o-Salam on Prophet ﷺ because Allah Karim ordained us to do that ! Peace upon Prophet's (ﷺ) family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Allah Karim Says in Quran-E-Hakim :

...............Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding." AZ-ZUMAR [39] : 9.

Last night I had the privilege of being with a "MAN OF UNDERSTANDING" and what a Rewarding and Fascinating experience it was?

Amazing it was to see the vastness of his knowledge encompassing every discipline..........

....Religion Paganism, Science, Arts, History, Mythology, Cosmology, Evolution..............

......Knowledge as ancient as the creation of Souls (ARRWAAH), transformation of invisible human (INSAAN) to visible Adam to as Modern as the God Particle........

.......References from Holy Books, Hadith, Literature.....Ghazali, Ibne Arbi to Will Durant, every one was there.........

Marvelous Memory, Lightening Logic, Astonishing Articulation and Spellbound Audience.......ILLUMINATION AT ITS VERY BEST.

While emphasizing 'THE NEED TO LEARN' he drew the attention to very first Revelation which says, IQRA..

Read {in the Name of Allah Karim} and wanted all of us to note that Allah Karim did not start His Message by ordaining WORSHIP, PRAYERS or mention of DEEDS and CONDUCT because THE LEARNING ensures UNDERSTANDING and those who are able to UNDERSTAND know that all other dimensions of the WAY OF LIFE [DEEN] are inbuilt therein.

PICK OF THE NIGHT, however, was answer to the question 'HOW TO PROCEED WITH UNDERSTANDING DEEN'? The answer suggested simple and highly practical 3 step interconnected and descending methodology, which I have named THE MATRIX :

Know what Allah Karim has ordained - {Read and understand Quran).

Know what Prophet ﷺ understood and taught by word of mouth and example - {Read Seera-e-Nabvi ﷺ and AHADITH}.

Read and know how religiously Companions of Prophet ﷺ (SAHABA RA) acted upon that what they were taught and told. Earnestly endeavor to emulate them.
