Spiritual Meditations *Metaphysical aspects of love and unity<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1286> *
Baha'u'llah affirmed three fundamental, essential unities at different levels of being. First, he proclaimed the absolute unity of divine. The unity of divine reality, however, is beyond the capacity of human understanding, even in terms of a conceptual framework. Also, the categories of oneness and plurality are incapable of expressing the unknowable divine unity, but this divine reality is the foundation and ultimate purpose of all beings. Human beings are capable of reflecting divine reality through their longing and love for recognition and attainment of God. For Baha'is, all beings are signs and indications of the divine. -- *Nader Saiidi* More.<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1286> Islam,Terrorism and Jihad *Muslim Indians are Warriors Against Terror <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1277>* *Muslims consider India as their own country to love, to live in and to die for.* The terror groups’ interpretation of the verses of Quran and definition of Jihad are being fiercely disputed by Muslim communities all over the world and Muslim Indians are at the forefront of such anti-terror campaign. Muslim Indians’ role in challenging the terrorist group’s interpretation of Islamic scriptures has been acknowledged and lauded internationally. The condemnation of terrorists and statements and fatwas against them is ceaseless. Muslim Indians have always been maintaining that what these terror groups have been calling jihad is no jihad at all. In fact, Muslims in India have coined the word “fasad” for their murderous doings. Every act of these fasadis has been squarely condemned by Muslim Indians. Muslims of Mumbai have ostracized the Pakistani terrorists who attacked their city on 26/11 and refused to bury them. Denial of a burial to the dead is considered reprehensible in Islam and participating in the burial of even a stranger is considered noble. Perhaps the Muslim Indian community has risked the wrath of the world Muslim community for passing this harshest castigation of the felled Muslims. The fury of Mumbai Muslims was too fierce to care. -- *Dr.Mookhi Amir Ali, Mumbai* 4 Comments More...<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1277> Spiritual Meditations *Humanistic Approaches in Gita and Quran <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1278>* *The fundamental principles of religion and ethics are quite the same in both Holy Books* Islam, as enunciated in the holy Quran, is all for international understanding and unity of mankind for the great purpose of realization of human destiny. It does not recognize any barriers of racialism and all such aggressive ‘isms’ which are affronts to human dignity and worth, as the holy Quran regards men as the best creation. The message of Islam is that they should all go back to the true faith which may be designated Deen (religion), or Islam (surrender and submission to the will of God). The root Slm in Arabic means "to be in peace, to be an integral whole." From this root comes Islam, meaning to surrender to God’s law and thus to be an integral whole. It asserts that religion does not teach that man should hate man. The object of religion is to increase love and unity among human beings by the recognition that "we are all the children of the one and only God." This is Humanism. The message of Islam, as depicted in the holy Quran is the "unity of mankind under the fatherhood of God." It is opposed to all forms of grouping –– racial, national, sectarian, or other. This then is the True Path, and for this we ask God’s grace. The right path is essentially one of sympathy and love for those human beings who are most in need of them – the orphan, the slaves, the deprived, those who are poor or those who are lonely. Having minutely gone through the Gita and the Quran, one may easily realize that both these sacred volumes are so similar in their intrinsic nature that they stand as a neck-vein to each other. Truly speaking, a true believer of 7th and 8th verses of the 4th chapter (Jnanayoga) of the Gita as well as the 48th verse of the Quranic Surah "Al-Maidah" will find no point of dissimilarity between these holy volumes. Both of these scriptures intend to establish religion on a firm footing for the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of the evil-doers and for restoring order and peace in the society. The fundamental principles of religion and ethics are quite the same, in all respects in both. The similarity between the Gita and Quran extends on a larger scale, as most of the verses of the Quran were preached under similar circumstances in which the Gita was preached. -- *Dr. Debabrata Das* 2 Comments More.<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1278> -- Syed M.
