What An Equality

Please consider your answers to the following questions seriously...

Have you ever given the decision of your existence in a Galaxy named Milky way among the billions of other galaxies, as the current scientific data report..? Has it been your choice?

Has it been your decision or your choice to come into existence in a solar SYSTEM at the shore of an ocean mass of 400 billion stars known as Galaxy Milky way, the core of which is 32 thousand light-years far away, as also the latest scientific data reports..? Yes..?

Isn't it either your choice to be born as a homo-sapiens on a planet called the earth with a mass of almost 1 million 300 thousand times smaller than the sun..?

Have you neither made a choice of your continent or your country?

Could it be you who made a choice of the race, nationality and the generation you were descended from..?

Please, do not say now that you haven't made any choice of your parents, the environment and the conditions of your family, and you haven't been asked about them either..!

If nothing else, it might have been your choice to appear within a male or a female physical body in this world..? Excuse me..? Not even them..?

Well... Then, let us question ourselves! Can we in this case blame any person, condemn or scorn, or can we accuse or set apart, discriminate people based on the things out of their hands (control)..?

Shall we in this case discriminate people on the account of their inborn characteristics such as their race, color, religious beliefs and their language gained customarily in their environment? How sensible is it? How fair? Is it compatible with reason, logic and conscience?

To put pressure on people based on such mentioned attributes not only contradicts with the “Deen-i ISLAM,” but also with human conscience and reasoning according to the tenor that “no one can be hold responsible beyond one's own capacity.” If such a wrongful point of view exists, it is that, such a perspective must be re-questioned!

As far as the “equality” in our life struggle (competition) is concerned...

In order to even talk of equal conditions, any competition must start equally at the beginning! Do we really start our life struggles under equal circumstances?

You were born from a genius father, a wise mother, in your genes are stored science (ilm) and wisdom (irfan); however I happen to be born with a poor genetic [capacity], from a miserable couple naive, innocent, quiet who don't have the means to care about the next day and only strives to allay their daily hunger.

You were born at a rich family who may have their breakfast in New York along with dinner in Tokyo; however I happen to welcome my days on earth at a miserable family, who used to wear shoes patched underside and of whom a taxi-ride has been a luxury for!

You are a product of a Miss Universe-beautiful mother and a Mr. Universe-handsome father, but I am of a mother as Nasreddin Hodja said to “Show your face to anybody, but not me!”, and a similar father...

And you are descended from the loins of the Master of the two worlds, but me from Mullah Kasim only...

However, we are still equals!..

Are we equals indeed? Do we take part in a life struggle initiated under EQUAL circumstances? Do we compete under EQUAL conditions and receive EQUAL treatment? Do we leave the world EQUALLY after so much EQUALITY..!

What an EQUALITY..!

As for ADALET (JUSTICE, FAIRNESS)..! May ALLAH bless her with Hu's mercy (Rahmat) forever; it was the name of my deceased mother now buried in Silivrikapi, Istanbul...

“ALLAH,” of Whom there is nothing outside, announces that “I DO WHATEVER I WISH!” On the other hand, I and similar other people in the world being “nothing” at the sight of Hu's knowledge, Hu's power and Hu's creativeness, and who are absolute-dependent on Hu's decree (taqdir), authority (hukm) and will, and who have got nothing other than that Hu gave.

FAIRNESS (adalat) is a name given to Hu's bestowing to individual beings as they deserved according to the will of “Hu” within their creation!

Life in this world. . . where money and title rule the people ruthlessly whether disguised or naked... A gazelle between the paws and teeth of a lion; a lamb, a chicken between the teeth of a man, and the poor at the mercy of the rich!..

And the reality of the “Deen-i ISLAM” that the Rasul of ALLAH communicated, which is based on a universal SYSTEM and ORDER, informs a reality of life beyond death where each person will be met by the reward of his own deeds.

Wouldn't it be better now if we put an end to fighting for what has already happened in the past and appreciate our lifetimes by means of what we will be able to achieve..? Shall we consider that seriously?

Why and for whom do we need to practice prayers?..
