The Path We Need
The Path is a locally produced (Singapore) magazine focusing on Islamic Spirituality. The chief editor of this magazine, Brother Khalid Ajmain is my good friend and I must say that he has done a good job with this initiative.
The first issue with contributors such as Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, and Prof. William Chittick, is already out, so please dear visitors, support this magazine if you can. May God bless you.
Here is the editorial for the inaugural issue of The Path:
The fact that a path exists at all indicates that people before us had walked on it. If we do not recognise our
predecessors, the path would disappear from our perception and we would not be able to take another step. When we look around, we only see wilderness and chaos. Any steps we take would be filled with uncertainty, further augmenting our anxiety. Not only would we feel lost, but also alone. This is how we are todaylost, alone and surrounded by wilderness and chaos. If you are still reading the newspapers, youll read about someone who gave up their life in despair or in anger. We must ask ourselves, Where are we heading?
This issue includes Prof. Chittick's quintessentially illuminating essay, Can The Islamic Intellectual Heritage Be Recovered? where he writes, It is impossible to be a Muslim without taqlid, because one cannot discover the Qur'an or the practices of the Shariah by oneself. Just as language is learned by imitation, so also the Qur'an and Islamic practice are learned by imitating those who know them.
