The world that we are living in is the same, but is there a
difference between the life dimensions of the believers ,
especially the ones who are struggling to attain Allah and
the the life dimensions of those who are not interested in
religion? I am talking about the difference in their
ideas and perception!
The truth is that I do not think that there is any
difference.
Let me explain:
There is a certain discomfort between the people who seem to
be religious, whose aim is to attain Allah and the ones who
do not have religious beliefs or have religious beliefs,
but who do not put them into practice. This discomfort
leads to some tension form time to time.***
Actually, this situation is relative and it is not so much
important, because regarding a social event when it is the
time to decide if it is right or wrong, then both groups
who seem to be contrary to each other react similarly.
It is difficukt for us to understand this,but this is the
reality.
Let me say it more openly: There isn’t any difference in
the actions and the reactions of the people who have a
certain level of knowledge/culture and the ones who say
that they have belief and live according to the conditions
of their belief.
Anywhere in the world all the communities and the people are
sharing the same things; they eat, drink, make sex, have
children, feel sorry about their troubles and they become
happy by the pleasant events.
It looks as if they are all proud and they keep on telling
the stories which we all know, but in which we do not
believe, the empty words that are far from convincing any
one and they are consuming their lives in this manner.
They do not even accept the lowest level of sharing (goods
or money).
There is one more point that they have in common:
The fear
about the future!
Almost every individual unit is busy making plans about his
future or the future of his close ones.
Let me ask you. Nowadays, can you show me
an individual who does not
have any details/dreams about the future, who
does not think/worry about tomorrow, who does not bother
about the future of his child?
I am telling these especially for those who belong to the
religion. On the surface they are sincere, warm, but are
they able to find out the rights and wrongs of their own
lives? As you know, they want to have the perfect manners
(to have the manners of Allah,to attain the ideal/perfect
behaviour), but they are not aware of the meaning of
their work and practices.
Is it possible to say that the meaning is not important in
perceiving and doing something? Moreover, these are the
duties of a person who is being in servitude. Aren’t they
being told that it is not possible to reach a certain level
by doing these.
As can be understood they are dealing only with the
interpretation of aspect of the matter (the religion). If
, the things that they have been doing have the slightest
reflection on real life, then I would be thankful even for
this, but there is nothing.
If, the ones who love the religion/ the ones with belief do
such things, then you imagine about the rest. As can be
seen these people are living harmoniously in great
excitement and they are not doing this consciously. If,
this situation is not interfered, in other words if it is
not being cut off by the dimension of the akhirat (the
after life realm) it looks that it would continue till
eternity.
Let us continue...
For example, if there is a change and if some people do not
like this, and if the benefits are conflicting , then this
is neither approved by the other (group) depending on the
situation. Both sides may react in the same manner. In
short, if there is a change in life, then both sides the
ones who say that they are religious and the ones who say
that they are not religious oppose this strongly. So, the
logic is the same. However, your astonishement is for
the religious side, you at least think that they must have
gained something spiritual through religion. Therefore, you
say at least ‘’What a
pity, this man could not learn anything, could not live,
practice’’.
Therefore, one cannot help to think that why that
understanding which is expected to make a big difference has
not find a place (in my opinion it is not possible to expect
a big change especially within the next few years).
Then, what should be done? What are the points of
differentiation? It is the time to think deeply about these
and analyse them in detail.
Let us at least become aware of this now.
