Al Jabbar : Mending the broken heart

http://www.suhaibwebb.com/personaldvlpt/purification-heart/al-jabbar-mending-the-broken-heart/

In our journey to gain tranquility of the heart, we explored what we need to know when faced with difficult situations. We need to understand that Allah has told us we will be tested, that these tests are for a reason, and that there will be relief insha’Allah (God willing). When we are worried thinking about the future, we need to work hard but have full trust in Allah that He will not leave us, and we must always think well of Allah because that is what we will find.

Tariq Ramadan Quotes - 2

-- Tariq Ramadan [Zaytuna Guest Lecture]

"Many people comes to me to ask "which one are you first? are you Swiss or Muslim?
I reply, "silly question".

When I vote, I am a Swiss. When I die, I am a Muslim. Because, I am not gonna die with my passport! I will die with my faith. and when I vote, it is because of the passport I have."
-- Tariq Ramadan [in burke lecture]

Reading Inside Islam-WISC article on Tariq Ramadan

I was reading an article on Taiq Ramadan on his thoughts and book "What I Believe".
http://insideislam.wisc.edu/index.php/archives/4224

This is a wonderful review on Professor Ramadan's "what I believe". Thanks to Reem for this write-up.
Dr Tariq Ramadan has got some amazing thoughts that fascinated me. Especially the ideas of pluralism is very essential in all the communities. I would emphasize that even in this Muslim community, this perspective is missing at a large scale which should had to be there. People of different ideas, religions, caste, creed are there in this earth, it is the diversity we must acknowledge. and keeping it in mind, we should move together for making this world a good place.

At the same time, Professor Ramadan always emphasizes in spiritual intelligence and intelligent spirituality. This is really essential for any believer, from any belief. What I realized from his other write-ups, we really need hold strong voice against all odds of our communities. No matter who is that or how is that. When we will practice to speak against the wrong-doing of the community and national leaders, we will be serving better by them.
In the end, we all need a better place for living on earth, providing a better earth to our next generation.

Ibn Taymiyyah quotes -1

Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

The Religion of the Muslims is built upon following the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and that which the Ummah has agreed upon.  So these are the three infallible usool (fundamentals). So whatever the Ummah differs in, then it is referred back to Allaah and His Messenger.

Thus, it is not for anyone to set up a person for the Ummah, and to call to his way and form walaa' (love, loyalty and allegiance) and 'adaa (enmity and hatred) based upon that, except for the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Nor is any speech set up for them based upon which they form walaa' and 'adaa except for the Speech of Allaah, and that of His Messenger, and that which the Ummah has agreed upon.

Rather, this is that practice of the people of innovation, who set up a person or a saying, with which they cause splits in the Ummah; forming walaa' and 'adaa based upon that saying or ascription.

Not an Islamic State, but a Civil State? :: Tariq Ramadan

by Tariq Ramadan | 30 Jan 2012
One of the distinguishing features of political Islam in the early twentieth century was its call for the creation of an Islamic state. Methods and strategies might differ ("bottom up" for the Muslim Brotherhood, "top down" by revolution for other organisations, and as happened in Iran), but the aim remained the same.

The structure of the state was conceptualised in the light of Islamic principles (as drawn up by the classical Sunni and Shiite traditions) and articulated around the core concept of "Islamic law," meaning the concept of Sharia. It was no accident that late nineteenth and early twentieth century Islamist organisations expressly sought to revive Islam's social and political heritage.

As the Ottoman Empire was being dismantled and broken up into numerous smaller countries, and as western colonial rulers expanded their control, it became essential to visualise the paths and the stages leading to independence and, in the long run, to reunifying the Ummah, the Muslim spiritual community, understood – or idealised – at the time as a political entity, which the Ottoman state had symbolically, though imperfectly, represented.
