ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Moving Beyond Blame

I wrote the piece above over ten years ago. It has taken me almost
these entire ten years to learn to forgive myself. I still sometimes
see someone on the street who looks like Joe, and I have a moment of
excitement, then I remember that he is gone. But I don't blame myself
anymore. I made a mistake, but I'm not responsible for Joe putting a
needle in his arm. With everything he had to live for, he had no
excuse. If having a family, friends and freedom wasn't enough of a joy
for him, then it's unlikely that anything I said would havemade a
difference.
I don't want to blame Joe either. He lost the battle against his
internal demons, and that's enoughfor me to say. I still love him. I
guess I've gotten beyond blame, to a place of understanding or
acceptance. I'm able to think of Joe with gratitude,and with no
bitterness or regret to color it. I originally titled this piece,
"Trying to Remember the Good Times", but if I had written it today I
might callit, "Remembering a Kind Soul."
That's the miracle and glory of the human heart. That is one of the
countlessblessings of Allah. He gives us hearts that heal, and spirits
that forgive, and Time, our dear friend, who carries away all wounds
in the gentle sweep of its current.
"Allah said: 'Sons of Adam inveigh against [the vicissitudes of]
Time,but I am Time, in My hand is the night and theday.'" (hadith
qudsi, agreed upon)
If Allah is Time, and Allah isAr-Rahman ir-Raheem (TheMerciful and
Mercy-Giving), then time is a mercy and ablessing. The passage of
time is a balm and a cure.
I try to do better now in reaching out to anyone I care about who
might be in pain. I try to express something about the deen to the
non-Muslims in my life. I don't preach, but I share my enthusiasm for
Islam in small ways, and I offer a perspective that includes Allah.
If I could go back, what would I do differently? I have come to
realize that the question serves no purpose. The Polk Street festival
is a memory, a day in history, an image on a fading photo. Agonizing
over it does not help.
A better question is, what will I do differently today? What will I do
differently tomorrow, when the California sun comes up blazing, and
the world is new again, and I am blessed beyond belief with another
opportunity to redeem my soul, and to love my family and friends,and
to prostrate to Allah, and to change the world? What will I do
differently then?
That's all that matters.
"And put your trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate His
praise; and enough is He to be acquainted with the faults of His
servants." – Quran, 25:58/

STORY - ~

hey, you seem to be a very good Muslimah, just as I imagine my future
wifeto be! I really want to know you better before I take any step and
ask for your hand in marriage!"
Sister, is this familiar to you?! Well this is what many Muslim men
are doing unfortunately on fb or any other social networksites!! A
brother approaches a sister and makes her feel special, and that he
really wants to marry her… Then he starts with her a forbidden
relationship through the net because he wants to "know her better"
before taking the first step towards engagement! And when she reminds
him about marriage, he starts giving her some excuses as:
" well let's know each other more, we are still young for marriage"
OR
"honey! I am not ready for marriage for the moment! Ididn't finish my
studies yet!"
OR
"marriage?!! But how can I provide you if I marry you? wait till I
find a good work, then we will get married!"
OR
"dear, I don't know how to tell you this but my parents want me to
marry my cousin… But of course I will "try" to convince them about our
marriage!"
Sister!! Wake up!! These are all LIES and excuses because he doesn't
want you actually! Many men arelike him, when they will choose to get
married theywould let their mothers choose for them a girl who've
never had a boyfriend…
if someone really wants you, he would go to your house with no
hesitation to ask your father/wali for your hand in marriage
A good Muslim man wouldn't approach the girl but her wali
but if he is not ready for marriage, then he would fear HIS Lord and
never let you face Allah's Anger by your forbidden relationship! —

ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Perfection Is an Outcome Shown by Science and Prevails in All Living Structures

Perfection Is an Outcome Shown by Science and Prevails in All Living Structures
~
Darwinist claims have always been anything but scientific, and they
have always used mere demagoguery and false evidence to prop their
theories up. They deceive people by employing terminology that has
nothing to do with the subject at hand, simply producing words without
saying anything scientific at all. These are well-known evolutionist
characteristics. But there has recently been another addition to
Darwinists' demagoguery.
Terms such as "perfect, magnificent, flawless," used to emphasize the
superior aspects of the structures in living things, alarm Darwinists.
They respond by saying things like, "These are not scientific terms,
they are personalized terms; there is no such thing as a perfect cell.
What criteria are involved?"
The reason is this: Darwinists are aware that they cannot account in
terms of the theory of evolution for the extraordinary order and
behavior in living things, such as the golden ratio, symmetry,
division of labor or planning. Their latest feeble move, a defense
mechanism, is to attack these terms. In short,Darwinists are in such a
wretched position as to suggest that the use of these terms is
improper.
Why do Darwinists rejectthe concept of "perfection"?
"Perfection" is a scientific term because living structures exhibit a
perfection that exceeds human abilities and sometimes even human
comprehension. For example, the stages involved in plant
photosynthesis are still not yet fully understood. no machine capable
of making photosynthesis has thus far ever been constructed. We still
do not fully understand how tiny birds weighing just a few grams can
migrate thousands of kilometers, how they navigate, and where they
obtain the strength to do this. The majestic nature of the order
within the bee hive, how the regular hexagonsin the honeycomb came
about and the glory of theventilation system in termite nests are all
absolutely stunning.
In fact, Darwinists know perfectly well that the features in living
things are perfect and that they cannot explain them in terms of
evolution. But they still do all they can toreject the concept of
"perfection." The sole reason for this is that, in their eyes, it is
impossible for there to be perfection in a structure they maintain
came about by chance.
Chance cannot produce perfection. It cannot understand symmetry or the
golden ratio. It cannot give rise to entire systems that engage in a
division of labor at the molecular level, take precautions, leave no
deficiencies and test for, and even correct, errors. All chance can
produce is either nothing, or else deformed, twisted, irregular,
crippled and sickly structures. That is why Darwinists are so alarmed
by the use of words such as "perfect," "extraordinary" and "flawless."
The truth is clear, even if Darwinists try to hide from it
The fact that Darwinists try to avoid with their policy of silencing
argument is this:
Proteins serve very different functions inside the cell. Every protein
knows where to go and what to do at the momentit comes into being. One
enfolds DNA, another indicates the location of the code in protein
synthesis, one becomes a hormone and permits communication while
another becomes an enzyme and catalyzes reactions. Darwinists can
never succeed in performing one of the jobsof one of the thousands
ofproteins inside the cell. FURTHERMORE, THEY CAN NEVER EXPLAIN HOW A
SINGLE PROTEIN MIGHT HAVE FORMED. Such a structure that so
exceedshuman abilities is, in a word, perfect.
DNA is a work of art. Some two meters long and divided into 46
chromosomes, it is folded into the cell nucleus a mere one to two
microns in size using the most complex folding techniquein the world.
It is enzymesand proteins that do this folding. If Darwinists claim
there is no perfection in this, then they have to be able to do
something similar, orat least make a copy of it.
The chloroplast inside a leaf performs photosynthesis, the mechanism
of which we still do not fully understand, with an amazing expertise.
If Darwinists maintain thatthis system is not perfect, they need to be
able to make a copy or to be able to do something similar.
A moon fish living in Antarctica can survive at temperatures as low as
minus 56 degrees and dive down to great depths. Yet it is unaffectedby
sudden and intense changes in pressure, because in contrast to many
mammals, its respiratory tract is flat-oval in shape, rather than
round, and is capableof immediately closing under high pressure. It
canalso close its lungs instantaneously. This characteristic is
perfection.
