Cool! Thanks :thumb:
Quote:Anyways. I must differ from your first point FHC, Creating something doesn't mean that he is in it or manifest in it. Much the same way that when we carve a statue we are not part of it nor are we manifest in it.
Hmmm... to a certain extent, we are. It's the result of one's intellect, design, composition etc.
Anyways, let's just agree to disagree. There's too much philosophy surrounding this matter.
Quote:as for the other point the with the rock... the point of that was to illustrate how these "minor" issues can be taken out of context with the passage of time....
In fact... islam tells the story of how idolatory and shirk started.... Statues were built of pious ppl just to remember them.. and eventually these pious ppl were being worshipped.... all this with the passage of time and the effect of the way we think as human beings...
Therefore, to believe that allah is in everything or everything is in allah... is and can lead to further blasphemy... from an islamic point of view...
It's a case of better safe than sorry. There's nothing wrong with Muslims being cautious ;)
Quote:you seein the islamic understanding now???
I think I saw it from the beginning. I just wanted to explore it further :)
Thanks, take care & God bless.
