Y Series – Difficult if forced and easy if understood – Love and religion

I feel that I enjoy writing and sharing thoughts and observations mixed with religious, ie Islamic, analysis. It is very useful for understanding a situation of one’s psychology, a physical philosophy behind the human mind, when something or a trait is learned or stored in the mental library.

There is in the human personality a natural inherent trait. This outstanding feature values ​​character. It can be defined as “curiosity“. The man is interested, or very interested depending on the situation, if he is restricted by/on a certain line of actions. He thinks about going beyond those limits and observes himself. Sometimes it is better to learn from past experiences – people who crossed those limits.

Adam and Eve History also shows us that they were wrong (stories can be found in the earliest holy scriptures, the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran). Due to your curiosity to cross the order or whatever specific reason there is… God (Allah) knows best… It is human nature that when we are ordered “no-things”, there comes a point that urges us to commit those “not things“. Literally speaking, Islam, if forced to learn and made a necessary condition for a person to adopt its lifestyle, would not have a fruitful result in making him a true Muslim. Apparently, he can be a well-rounded Muslim but what is hidden in the body (heart) is only known by Allah. Well, to a certain extent, one can predict the hidden trait of their characters… but still, to mold the personality according to Islamic doctrines, one has to have an inner devotion to learn.

Frankly, it can be seen that personal rule over offspring is a bit difficult in advanced countries. The reason is very simple! It is a chain process of parental control and guidance. If parents are not well informed about the difference between right and wrong actions, they cannot guide their children enough and cannot shape their children’s personality. Very simple! One has to represent, reflect or exemplify before controlling or asking their children to stop doing the same things that parents do. People follow what is somehow right in their eyes and right only for them. When they are informed about justice, they are somehow offended. The examples can be seen very easily, but I would not like to air the evil, rather my aim is to eradicate the faults in our societies.

The real personality – in the phase of learning Islam – will definitely appear in a short time if one does not stay true to the teachings of Islam or “real Christianity where Jesus (peace be upon him) ordered his disciples to obey only the Master who is in heaven!” what it does is necessary to deepen the understanding instead of thinking that it is a “forced implementation”. When the meaning is logically clarified, the definition of “Forced“changes to a meaning of”presented“.

We cannot point out that there is an “inevitable” or forced teaching in Islam when it clearly says: “There is no compulsion in religion”! What we have to evaluate is courtesy, honesty and a willingness to listen to what others think about Islam and then tactfully address them about the burning conflict. In fact, the image of people who want justice has been falsified only to terrorists and extremists. The demand is to build a friendly relationship, winning the hearts of the people peacefully and without any forced imperative religious platform – God will definitely help you track down everyone if He wants!

Unlike other religions in our beautiful God-endowed world, Islam restricts many things. Correct, but has anyone neutrally gotten into the depths of such restrictions? In fact, in one sentence it can be concluded that “such are the divine borders and being a faithful believer, there are definitely some hidden benefits and rewards not only for him but also for the people around him.” This is just viewing and accepting! What does it really mean? The word “restrict” is in fact, if correctly understood, is to submit with enthusiasm to the commandments of Allah. Well designed personal attitudes or patterns of life are not the ways in any religion of our beautiful world. What is needed is simply to adopt the laws prescribed by the God, Who is the Lord and to Whom we will return for Judgment Day!

Now I come to another aspect of the state of mind! What happens when something is forced to learn? Two situations would arise; has. or he will learn by heart b: or he will rebel against that question that is taught to him by force. In the first case, where the subject is being learned it somehow implies one’s positive devotion. Granted, there is also a state similar to a “hanging sword”, but in the end one learns, stores in the mental library and implements in life by sensing that fact correctly. In case “b”, harsh consequences sometimes arise. Becoming a rebel and going against what is necessary is the case that is often seen when the teacher does not embody the lesson in his character and only tries to “enslave” others around him. This case is difficult for a successful personal and professional life. Islam is the case first to honestly implement in it, and then politely “transmit” to others. I would recommend here that in such a case of “b” one should only keep in mind that such situations are new to him/her and would indeed require the patience and tolerance. In the end he/she will succeed.

In case b, many antisocial outcomes can occur. A good example is seen in interfaith marriages especially in Europe. Usually, in such cases, a husband is born a Muslim, who is not strong enough in his faith to judge between “sins” and, at first, marries a beautiful atheist and a non-believer. Then, after a short while, when they both open their eyes and the blinding shadow of love fades, they begin to realize many things about their “future” and those to come. For the sake of a successful future, you must be patient and trust in Allah for the fruits that come after ages from a planted mango tree. It never happens that in a year you get all the fruit no matter how much you give the right environment to that plant. Or take the example of “the goose that laid the golden eggs” if you kill it to get all the gold at once… so it takes time. In any case! May God bless you with the blessing of understanding each other and each other’s religion. But in most cases the marriage ends soon in useless results of personal and social term.

If courtesy and caring for others’ points of view are the first step in our lives, feelings of suffocation or “Master-Slave Relationship” cannot have more effect or can be minimized. Similarly an English term “Slave-driving” which was/is originally English minded as they wanted to rule the world! (Sorry if I offended, but that’s part of our history!)… but this negative sense can somehow be turned into a “Teacher-Student-Relationship” meaning just by understanding the logic of learning Islam. This requires immense patience and time. If you go through the history of the spread of Islam, you will come to know that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) preached only patience and trust in Allah. He did not force anyone to embrace Islam, a refined sum of religions, but with his patience and influential character, hearts were automatically attuned to Islam. Well, for God, Allah, nothing is impossible. What is required is only “A friendly and loving environment”.

The least, but not the last, the best strategy is written and finalized by our Lord in Heaven – Allah – Surah Al-Asar. (The day of declination) 103, 1-3 (Holy Qur’an)

[1] By Al-‘Asr. [2] Truly, man is lost. [3] Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend each other to truth and recommend each other to patience.
