Servitude
Reasons to increase effort
The word "Himmat" means the beginning of a desire to do something. It is a feeling that leads to a goal. Owners of this feeling endure any hardships in order to achieve their goals. And the highest courage is, without a doubt, to act without swaying in the judgments of Allah, to be steadfast on this path. No matter how much patience and will it requires from a person, it will eventually bear its sweet fruits. Let's talk about these results - the reasons for the high effort.

The West has reached such a stage that there is no turning back. He was nearing the end of a dead end. The realities, which have been talked about by many scientists for hundreds of years, are manifested in front of our eyes with their real consequences, not only in the West, but also in all the countries that strive for it. It is no longer possible to hide the tragic evil of moral ugliness and indolence in all the affairs of society, in the desired activities of people, with artificial curtains.

In modern society, where materialism and immediate gratification of natural needs is a tradition, it is becoming increasingly important that we base our life decisions in the spirit of deep morality and virtue, based on moral principles and divine teachings. The most important issues facing us today are the importance of following revelation, that fiqh rules are not just outdated traditions, that we, as Muslims, do not follow the strictly defined standards and regulations of today's modern era, which arise from questions about the purpose and nature of life, and first of all it is the need for us to pass through the criteria of good and bad. Article by Ovamir Anjum, head of the Department of Islamic Studies at the University of Toledo (USA), editor-in-chief of the Yaqeen Institute of Islamic Studies, and founder of the Ummatics Institute.

The first thing we discover and must discover in meditation is that only He who gave us life can give it value. If we delude ourselves with the nonsense that there is no such source and that life is just blind chance, then there can be no value: no basis for good or bad, right or wrong. In other words, if there is no God, there can be no morality, because morality is essentially an exercise in the search for God.

The so-called "death of God" also shook the world, and also caused the return of gods and demons to the world order, who seek to gain power over our lives and again... continue to fight each other forever. In addition to being atheistic or agnostic, modern secularism is indeed a form of polytheism in many senses. Modern secularism as a polytheism (polytheism) of values - in the article of Ovamir Anjum, head of the department of Islamic studies at the University of Toledo (USA), editor-in-chief of the Yaqeen Institute of Islamic Studies and founder of the Ummatics Institute.

Socrates, considered by many to be the first moral philosopher, said that an unexamined life is not worth living. A good life is a life lived knowing, loving, and seeking moral goodness. Philosophically, universalism (the idea that all people have certain rights) and monotheism (the belief that all people share a single supreme God) are interrelated and compatible. Let's take a look at the saying, "A life without thought is not worth living." It's just a claim: isn't life worth living for ferns, water lilies, or butterflies? Philosophy and its limits - in the article by Ovamir Anjum, head of the Department of Islamic Studies at the University of Toledo (USA), editor-in-chief of the Yaqeen Institute of Islamic Studies and founder of the Ummatics Institute.

The name of the first stage is called "death day". No one knows anything about this day, not even realizing that it has come and that he will die on this day. A person does not know that this time has come, but he feels that some changes are happening in his body. For example, on that day, a believer's heart will light up, his heart will taste peace and happiness. On the contrary, a poor person is depressed and his heart is crushed.

The answers to the questions of moral pedagogy, which Muslims call "education", are quite flexible and varied. What is the right way to acquire or teach the desired virtue: love or fear? Is it the warm upbringing of loving parents or the iron discipline of a strict teacher? Philosophical reflections of the wise or the advice of the most successful and powerful people? The intensity of the battles or the silence of the library? Ovamir Anjum, head of the Department of Islamic Studies at the University of Toledo (USA), editor-in-chief of the Yaqeen Institute of Islamic Studies and founder of the Ummatics Institute, writes in the article.
