Goose bumps

Social experiment or paradigm shift?

Religion

By the word 'religion' I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I'v seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers.

Musaafir-e-Dasht: An Interesting Blog

Have just come across a very interesting blog, Musaafir-e-Dasht. Of course it would depend on your personal inclinations whether you'll like it or not.

On the sidebar was this very beautiful hadith,

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet (sallallahu alaihi wassallam) and he said to me: 

“Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”

- Tirmidhi

Religion or Morality

Had we evolved the same morals if we had no religion?

Which came first, religion or morality?

Even if we suppose that morality is innate then why moral values keep changing?

Did that innate morality had the ability to provide a complete code of life down to the minute details?

If everyone came up with his own version of morality wouldn't there be chaos?

Is then morality evolving? and is this evolution random? and if it is random then are there no perfect moral values?

Forgiveness

Forgive people as quickly as you expect God to forgive you
