i am afraid Lord, I am afraid...
i am afraid that just like those before us - we have become conditioned to find a new way and accept it despite the errors that we may see, despite the things which dont make sense - we just go on and dont question in the hope that further down the line a solution may arise.
but God, trust in thee alone i guess means questioning when something does not seem right - when we are asked to follow a little but of this and a little bit of that because we dont know the real reason or answer..
i am afraid Lord - for i dont know where it will end.
it is just like someone telling me that the Quran says we must translate the Quran into. languages and i challenged them to show me a verse that says that.
Fact is that i cannot find such verse that states in the Quran that the Quran should be traslated.
rather it is someones own logic that in order to preach the Quran one may need to translate it.
but we should never forget - Quran was revealed in Arabic - the issue with translation - any translation at all is that it is subjective to the translators own understanding and knowledge - rather i will advise people to research as many translations as they can find and God willing God will help with the understanding and finding the right context in which to relate to the verses.
this world my Lord i dont understand... i can only ask your help to guide me to thee - above all the falsehood that there is, above all the mediocrity that there is.. surely the Truth will reign over falsehood.
