Evolution of Religion

Alaikoam Salam

I see no harm in calling my beliefs Islam and I believe that we need a positive shift in thinking about some things we have taken for granted and possibly not completely understood.

In the end a new perspective can renew our Faith in ourselves, others and our Religion.

Inshallah this will be a time of a great sorting out into resolution groups to resolve all our challenges peacefully and with respect for ourselves and other in the process.

Hope begins with each of us.

May Allah Bless us for addressing our issues of being abused, self abusiveness or abusing others and get the counseling and guidance neeeded to make positive changes in our lives doing this is excellent Dawah.

It seems you haven't pondered on my posts in page three

Alaikoam Salam

I realize that as a people we want to believe that we know everything and that what we believe is perfect.

However as we can see from history there Life and Islam are always being perfected and new and better ways of dealing with issues are revealed on a daily and moment by moment basis.

Becuase we have accepted to a degree our circumstances we sometimes hesitate to accept new ways of handling issues in our lives like getting counseling when we have had issues of abuse, self abuse or being abusive to others ourselves.

It is great Dawah and a fitting way to make Hajj (pilgrimage) to our lives and see where we need assistance and guidance from trained professionals so that the cycle of abuse and violence can be stopped from continuing its ruinous path of distruction.

Though all paths of Islam (Ie all religions and those with none) tell us to be good people it is not clear in the scriptures, surahs etc exactly how to deal with violence in positive and productive ways so there fore yeas Islam can learn new things, it has to if we want to survive as individuals and people.

I have read many of your posts and I understand that you do not agree with my thoughts on Islam and this is okay as I know it takes a while to understand new ideas.

I am not saying throw all of Traditional Islam or any religions out the window just that wer have to encorporate some new laws and education programs so people have the skills and education to face what ever challenges they have to deal with in the average day.

So there there really is nothing to fear unless you fear positive change for some reason.

Having seen and experienced some of the ignorance in Life and Islam as well as other paths of Islam and seen the suffering that has been purpetuated by this ignorance, fear and apthy I am moved to do what I can to assist in clearing up the confusion as best as I can.

Inshallah there will be a greater sorting out of Mankind into resolution and education, training and counseling and consultation groups to resolve issues of family violence, parenting skills, relationship building and mending and anger manageement skills as well as sexual health information training and good conflict resolution skills training.

As I mentioned before hope begins with each of us, so if you are experiencing family violence, abuse of any kind, self abusive behavior or abusing anyone seek out counseling in your community to resolve these issues in a caring and positive way that gives you and everyone dignity.

As I have mentioned I mean no disrespect to Islam in saying that there are some issues that need to be addressed in terms of out dated and impractical laws that only perpetuate the use of violence and do nothing to educate people in healthier choices or give them better problem solving skills.

Education, counseling and consultation are the best justice and the best prevention from people doing crime as I believe if all are treated with dignity and encouraged to Arise Responsibly and Spiritually they will do so and those who do not can have further counseling and therapy to resolve whatever issues they have so they can be more caring towarss themselves and others too.

Whether Islam, Life, The World or we as individuals like it or not we are always learning new ways of doing things better and therefor we must learn these new and better skills so we can bring an end to the expression of violence in our lives, our families, our communities and our Nations once and for all.

There is great hope in Life and Islam and I believe in the ability of all of us to Arise Responsibly and Spiritually especially when we know what this means and how to do it effectively.

May Allah Bless us all on our Journey to a place of no sorrow in this life some call it Heaven and some call it Jannah.

Thank you for your thoughts on what I shared.

I believe that behaviors such as violence and sexual abuse can be prevented with education and counseling as well as open lines of communication and a healthy community support system so everyone knows where to call or go when they have particular kinds of issues to resolve.

The challenge of the past is that humanity has been working at learning good counseling skills and healthy ways to resolve challenges and conflicts so everyone wins.

Only a percentage of the worlds population has the tools and education and training they need to feel good about who they are and assist them in solving their challenges with dignity and respect they and all of us deserve.

We have reached a time in history when we can call all the world to Arise Responsibly and Spiritually and recieve the education, training and guidance they need to resolve the challenges they are faced with and inspire them to have hope in themselves, the world and others.

This effort will take affirmations of Faith, Trust, Trust and Accepting Responsiblity and Accountability on the part of each of us.

We each have a role to play in the world and to meet these we need excellnce in guidance and the communication skills, the conflict resolution skills and parenting skills, the relationships skills to address all the issues we have.

In short as I mentioned before we need a great sorting out into resolution groups to recieve the education, training and guidance we need to succeed at the challenges life presents  each of us.

In inspiring everyone to take on the challenge of learning new skills and accepting to respect themselves and others by getting the help they need we can create Heaven, Jannah in this life and within ourselves.

Islam and Life are in the constant process of revealing new and better ways to meet the challenges of life and it is not disrespecting Islam to say so.
