Western Society is ending Malcolm X

WESTERN SOCIETY

NEARLY COMPLETED

videos Selection by Nestor Pedraza

José Luis Sampedro Sáez, born in 1917, is a renowned intellectual, writer and economist English. Professor at the Complutense University of Madrid for 14 years, he became Deputy Director of the Foreign Bank of Spain, was also a university professor in several institutions within and outside Spain, and served as Senator in the country for two years. Member of the Royal English Academy, has been awarded several times as much for his economic writings, like his writing, including stories and nearly a dozen novels.

The following videos, Sampson explains why Western society has failed and is ending. Explains that the discourse of "development" and "eliminating poverty" is a mere fallacy, as long as we carry the Western lifestyle will be impossible to sustain a humanity that has tripled in the last century:

"The western way of life is over. It is saying that we must reform capitalism, but capitalism has been reformed several times [...] What we destroy the goods of the earth, does not regenerate, "says Sampson, and then adds:" What we have development, eliminate poverty and all that, while we do what we do, which is excessive and destructive, it is impossible. If you do not stop for any reason, will stop by the disaster. [...] The fact is that it is impossible, so that or cut, or cut from the depletion of energy sources, climate disruption, water pollution and air, etc. [...] To save the banks from the crisis have met a few days hundreds of billions of dollars. On the same date, 12,000 million requested FAO to reduce hunger in the world, and has not succeeded. "

Many still claim that capitalism is the apex of development of human civilization, the best system devised by man. I think that's true, and that fact has collapsed like all other manmade systems, is the ultimate proof that humans are incapable of designing a complete system that works equally for all in all times, to meet the needs of all members of their society, and that is equitable to provide a decent life for all human beings. Only God Almighty could design a socio-economic-political-religious full, perfect, not to be utopian but quite the opposite, being practical, perfectly practical for humans despite our imperfections. A in which no private property, no wealth, no government, no law, but above all, there is a responsible management of natural resources, there is a fair and honorable for all human beings, there is real freedom and tolerance is always true they do not endanger society, and no defense of individual rights provided that adversely affects the collective rights. Islam, a civilization that already operated for about 1,000 years being the most advanced and light on the history, which profoundly influenced the lives of us all even now, as many of the things we enjoy today came of artistic development, intellectual and scientific Muslim world in his time golden.

Sabato, the Argentine writer a few years ago had already spoken of these issues, wrote about it: "We must carefully evaluate what we mean by" resist. " I can not answer them. If he knew, would like those believers delusional, perhaps the only truly believe, to proclaim it in the corners with the urgency that we have to give a few meters which separate us from the catastrophe. "

The current world order is criminal. And before that, some believe the answer is a technocracy, as advocated in the documentary Zeitgeist, it is precisely the financial technocracy which currently dominates the world where science is today dictates human needs rather than to meet the real needs of mankind, when the university is no longer places of learning and has become a polytechnic in the service of big capital . Others believe it is necessary to turn left when communism, which is nothing more than a brother of capitalism (both born of the liberal-bourgeois ideology that triumphed in the French Revolution) has failed miserably in all scenarios, demonstrating not nothing but a dictatorship game against the dictatorship of the capitalist market today. Some more, including Sampson, believe that humanism is the answer. But humanism fails because the human failure. Only by fulfilling the will and the divine law, only serving God, we can truly defend humanity, because God has put us in the world to live together in societies, not for us to kill each other, and if we reject the false beliefs , false doctrines, and accept only the truth, the word of God, we learn that God commands us to live in peace, and also teaches us through His Prophets, how. The fallacy of secularism as a synonym for freedom, is evident in the destruction of society: secular values \u200b\u200bare subject to the interests of those in power. Only when man submits to God and abandons his whims, prejudices, vices and selfish desires, are adamant the core values \u200b\u200bthat enable the development of humanity as a whole and in harmony with the planet. In contrast, secular humanism has led to a completely unsustainable system that is destroying nature and humankind.

But in his narrow-mindedness, many Europeans do not want to admit that it was Islam that civilized Europe, and that only the Islamic civilization has been shown in human history be the answer for everyone, regardless of our ethnicity , color, socioeconomic status, academic and intellectual level, everyone can live a decent life and meet our real needs, while living in harmony with nature.

I leave, then, with these videos, they invite reflection on how we live today and how we want future generations to live:

Sampedro interview on English TV, explaining briefly why Western society comes to an end (video in two parts):

Sampson explained that the university (as a concept ) became a center to serve the big cities:

Has Anyone Recived There Tax Refund Early

MALCOLM X

By: Yusuf Siddiqui

Translation by: Néstor Pedraza

English Original: http://www.islamreligion .com/articles/88/viewall /

History of one of the most important figures in African-American revolutionary, and his discovery of true Islam and how it solves the problem of racism.

"I am and have always been a Muslim. My religion is Islam. "-Malcolm X

Early

Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louis Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with his family of 8 children. His father, Earl Little, was a Baptist minister and avid supporter of the black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. The civil rights activist Earl earned him death threats from white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm age 4. Despite Little's efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 home in Lansing, Michigan, was burned to the ground, and two years later came the maimed body of Earl on the tram from the city when Malcolm was only 6 years. Louis suffered an emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Their children were divided into different foster homes and orphanages.

Malcolm was a smart and dedicated student, graduating high school as the best in its class. However, his favorite teacher told him his dream of becoming a lawyer was not a realistic goal for a black, so Malcolm lost interest in school and finally retired at the age of 15 years. Learning the street life, Malcolm met thugs, thieves, drug dealers and pimps. He was sentenced to 20 for robbery and remained in prison until 27. While in prison he tried to train as a self-taught. Moreover, at this time in prison, he met the Nation of Islam and joined her, studying the teachings of Elijah Muhammed. He was released made a new man in 1952.

The 'Nation of Islam "(NOI for its acronym in English, Nation of Islam)

After his release, Malcolm went to Detroit and joined the daily activities of the sect, receiving training directly from Elijah Muhammad himself. Malcolm's personal commitment helped build the organization around the country, as he became an international figure. He was interviewed on major television shows and magazines around the country speaking at various universities and other forums. His power was in his words, vividly describing the plight of blacks vehemently incriminating whites. When a white person was referring to the fact that some Southern university had accepted black students without bayonets, Malcolm reacted with disdain:

"When I retired, the show's launch bait: Ah! Indeed, Mr. Malcolm X, can not deny that this is an advance for your race!

then I must be emphatic. I can not turn to see without hearing something about some 'civil rights advance'! White people seem to think that black men should be shouting Hallelujah! For 400 years the white man has had his long knife in the back of the black man, and now the white man starts to get a little knife. Is it supposed to be grateful black man? Why, if even when men White completely remove the knife, this will still leave a scar? "

Although Malcolm words often were painful to the injustices against blacks in America, the equally racist views of the Nation of Islam kept him from accept any sincere white or able to help the situation. For 12 years preached that the white man was the devil and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the messenger of God. Unfortunately, many images of Malcolm current focus on this period of his life, despite the transformation that was about to experience and to provide an important message and completely different the American people.

The Change to True Islam

On 12 March 1964, driven by internal jealousies of the Nation of Islam and revelations of Elijah Muhammad's sexual immorality, Malcolm left the Nation of Islam with the intention of starting his own organization.

"I feel like a man who has been asleep somewhat and under the control of someone else. I feel that now I think I speak for myself. Before, it was led by another, now I think on my own. "

Malcolm was 38 when he left the Nation of Islam of Elijah Muhammad. Reflecting on events prior to its abandonment, said

"In one or another university or college, usually in the informal gatherings after I had spoken, perhaps a dozen generally white-skinned people approached me, identified themselves as Muslims and Arabs, the Middle East or North Africa who were visiting, studying or living in the United States. They told me that despite my incriminating statements against whites, felt that I was sincere in considering me as a Muslim myself, and felt that if I exposed what they always called the true Islam, I would understand and embrace. Automatically, as a follower of Elijah, he always set aside what I said. But in the privacy of my own thoughts after several similar experiences, I wondered to myself: If one is sincere in professing a religion, why should resist expanding their knowledge of that religion?

These orthodox Muslims he had met, one after another, had urged me to meet Dr. Mahmoud Youssef Shawarbi and talk to him. Then one day, a journalist, I introduced Dr. Shawarbi. He was cordial. I had said followed in the press, said he had heard about it, and we talked for 15 or 20 minutes. Both appointments we had to go to meet we had, when dropped on me something whose logic never would get out of my head. He said: 'No man has believed perfectly until he desires for his brother what he wishes for himself' (a saying of Prophet Muhammad, that the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him). "

The Effect of the Pilgrimage

Malcolm continued to talk about the Pilgrimage:

"The pilgrimage to Mecca known as Hajj is a religious obligation that every orthodox Muslim fulfills, if able, at least once in their life.

The Quran says:

'is an obligation for men pilgrimage to the House are able to do [physical and economic]. " (Quran 3:97)

'Summon the men to make the pilgrimage, they come unto thee on foot or on camels exhausted all secluded place. " (Quran 22:27)

Each of the thousands of people at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no one would know. Some powerful figures, which were brought me quietly, had the same thing I was wearing. Once dressed and we started to proclaim all Labbayka! (Allahumma) Labbayka! (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red and yellow, blue eyes and blond hair, and my curly red hair, all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all while giving the same respect to others.

is when I start to reassess for the first time the white man. It was when I began to perceive that 'white man' as the saying goes, means complexion only a secondary form: Mainly describe attitudes and actions. In the U.S., white man means specific attitudes and actions toward the black man, and to all other men who are not white. But in the Muslim world, I saw men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone I've ever seen. That morning was the beginning of a radical alteration in my whole conception of the white man.

There were hundreds or thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blondes to black skinned Africans. But all share the same ritual displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe that ever exist between white and non-white. America needs to understand Islam, because this is one religion that erases from its society and the problem of racism. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked and even sit and eat with people in the United States would have been considered white, but which had been removed the attitude of the white from their minds by the religion of Islam . Never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color. "

Malcolm's New Vision of U.S.

Malcolm continues:

"Each hour here in the Holy Land enables me to have a greater spiritual awareness of what is happening in America between blacks and whites. The black American can not be blamed for his racial animosities, which is more than the reaction to 400 years of conscious racism of white Americans stop. But as racism leads to the U.S. the suicide path, I believe from the experiences I have had with them, the whites of the younger generation in schools and universities, will see the graffiti on the walls, and many of them will become the spiritual path of truth the only way left for the United States to avoid the disaster that racism inevitably driving.

now I believe God is giving the world called 'white society Cristiana' last chance to repent and atone for the crimes of exploiting and enslaving non-white people in the world. It is exactly as when God gave Pharaoh a chance to repent. But Pharaoh refused to do justice to those oppressed. And as we know, God finally destroyed Pharaoh.

never forget the dinner at home with Dr. Azzam Azzam. The more we talked, the more extensive was his store of knowledge and its variety seemed unlimited. He spoke of the racial lineage of the descendants of Muhammad, that the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, the Prophet, and showed how they were both black and white. He also noted how color and color problems that exist in the Muslim world, exist only where, and to the extent that that area of \u200b\u200bthe Muslim world has been influenced by Western colonization. He said if he was any difference based on attitude toward color, this directly reflected the degree of Western influence. "

The Unity of Man under One God

was during this pilgrimage began to write some letters to his loyal assistants at the newly founded Muslim Mosque in Harlem. He asked that his letter was copied and distributed to the press:

"I've never seen such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. During the past week, I was completely speechless and fascinated by the kindness shown to me about all the people of all colors ...

You may be surprised that these words come from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I saw and experienced has forced me to rearrange much of my thought patterns previously held, and set aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts and accept reality life as a new experience and new knowledge they develop. I've always kept an open mind, which is necessary for the flexibility that must go hand in hand with all forms of intelligent search for truth.

During the past 11 days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug), while praying to the same God, Muslims whose eyes were the blue, whose hair was more blond and whose skin was the whitest. And in the words, actions and deeds of the Muslims 'white', I felt the same sincerity that I felt among black African Muslims Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana.

We are all really the same (brothers), because their belief in God has removed a 'white' from their minds, how 'white' for their behavior, and how 'white' from their attitude.

I can see from this that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Unity and Oneness of God, then maybe you too could really accept the Oneness of Man, and stop measuring, hinder and harm others in terms of their 'differences' of color.

With the racism suffered by the United States as a cancer incurable, the white heart called 'Christian' American should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps we might be time to save America from imminent disaster, the same destruction that came to Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.

I asked what had impressed me most of Hajj ... I said, 'The brotherhood! People of all races, colors and from all over the world united as one! This has proven to me the power of the One God ... Everyone ate and slept as one as one. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere acentuaba la Unidad del Hombre bajo Un Dios.”

Malcolm regresó del peregrinaje como El-Hajj Malik al-Shabazz. Se había apasionado con una nueva visión espiritual. Para él, la lucha había evolucionado de una lucha de un nacionalista por los derechos civiles, a la lucha por los derechos humanos de un internacionalista y humanitario.

Después del Peregrinaje

Los reporteros blancos y otros estaban ansiosos de conocer las opiniones recién formadas de El-Hajj Malik respecto a ellos mismos. Les costaba creer que el hombre que había predicado contra ellos por tantos años, de repente había changed so much to call them brothers. To these people, El-Hajj Malik had this to say:

"are asking me 'Do not say that now accept white men as brothers?" Well, my answer is that in the Muslim world, I saw, felt and wrote home how my thinking had been extended. As I wrote, I shared the true love and brotherhood with many white-skinned Muslims never showed a single thought about race or skin color of another Muslim.

My pilgrimage broadened my vision. I was blessed with a new vision. In two weeks Holy Land, I saw what he had never seen in 39 years here in America. I saw all races, all colors, from blue-eyed blondes to black-skinned Africans in true brotherhood. United! Living as one! Praying as one! Without segregation, not being liberal, but because they never knew how to interpret the meaning of such words.

In the past, yes, I made generalized allegations all white people. Never be guilty of it again, now that I know white people who is really sincere, some of them capable of providing true brotherhood to a black man. The true Islam has shown me that a general accusation against white people is as bad as when whites make generalized accusations against blacks. "

For blacks who saw it increasingly as a leader, El-Hajj Malik preached a new message the opposite of what he had preached as a minister in the Nation of Islam:

"The True Islam taught me that it needs all the ingredients or characteristics of religious, political, economic, psychological, to complete the Human Family and the Humane Society.

I told my audience in the street Harlem that only when mankind is subject to the One God Who created all mankind, only then will reach the "peace" that batch is talk but little action toward which we have seen. "

Too Dangerous to Last

The new universal message of El-Hajj Malik was the worst nightmare for the American establishment. Not only was appealing to the masses of blacks, but for intellectuals of all races and colors. So it was demonized by the press as "inciting violence" and being "militant," although he and Dr. Martin Luther King were moving ever closer in their views:

"The goal has always been the same, with approaches as different as mine and non-violent marches of Dr. Martin Luther King, which dramatized the brutality and the evil white man against defenseless blacks. And in the racial climate in this country today, nobody knows what the "extreme" approaches black man's problems might personally meet a fatal catastrophe first: that of non-violence of Dr. King or calling 'violent' me. "

El-Hajj Malik knew that was the target of many groups. Despite this, never afraid to say what he had to say when he had to say. As a kind of epitaph at the end of his autobiography, says:

"I know that societies often have killed people who have helped to change. And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help destroy the racist cancer is a malignant tumor in the body of the United States, then all the credit goes to God. Only the mistakes have been mine. "

The Legacy of Malcolm X

Although El-Hajj Malik knew he was targeted for assassination, he accepted this fact without asking for police protection. On February 21, 1965, while preparing to give a lecture at a hotel in New York, was shot three black men. He took three months to age 40. While it is clear that the Nation of Islam had something to do with this murder, many people believe that more than one organization was involved. The FBI, known for its bias against the black movement has been suggested as an accomplice. We will never know for sure who was behind the assassination of El-Hajj Malik, or in fact, the murder of other national leaders at the beginning of the decade 1960.

Malcolm X's life has affected Americans in many important ways. The interest of African Americans in their Islamic roots has flourished since the death of El-Hajj Malik. Haley, who wrote Malcolm's autobiography, later wrote the epic "Roots," about the experience of an African Muslim family to slavery. More and more African Americans are becoming Muslim, adopting Muslim names, or exploring the African culture. Interest in Malcolm X has seen a recent increase thanks to the movie "X" by Spike Lee. El-Hajj Malik is a source of pride for African Americans, Muslims and Americans in general. His message is simple and clear:

"I'm not a racist in any way. I do not believe in any form of racism. I do not believe in any form of discrimination or segregation. I believe in Islam. I'm Muslim. "

management of water resources

ISLAM AND THE MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES

By: Muhammad Isa Garcia.

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=210860342275569 Taken

appended, a video on a reforestation project and environmental care developed by an Islamic non-profit.

religious significance of water

Water is of profound importance in Islam. It is considered a blessing from God that gives and sustains life, and purifies humankind and the earth.

The Arabic word for water, ma ' appears sixty-three times in the Koran. The throne of God is described as resting on the water, and Paradise is described as "Gardens through which rivers flow" . The Holy Quran mentions that water is a beautiful building and as such should be valued and respected. The quality of life that gives the water is reflected in the verse:

"... water that God sends down from the sky and relive her arid land." (2:164)

water not only gives life but also all organisms are composed of water:

"We created from water every living organism. " (21:30)

People generally consider water for hygiene and consumption, but for Muslims, this is very important spiritual and ritual, evidenced in the ablutions performed before every prayer. The benefit of these prayers, which are one of the Five Pillars of Islam, was compared by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him), with purification and hygiene supplies the water: "The five prayers are similar to a river that goes through your door where you bathe five times a day. "

Water and equity

Islam believes that to ensure fairness in society is the foundation of his doctrine. So we see that the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (BYP) were an example of this, whether relating to the preservation of equity or particular restraint in the use of water. For example: The Prophet (BYP) said three people will be ignored by God on Judgement Day, and one of them is "a man who has water to spare and it refuses to travelers."

The Quran warns human beings about the unfair distribution of wealth by claiming that the world belongs to God, and that these riches should not have access to only the wealthy. The recognition of water as a vital source to which all have equal rights, both rich and poor, is shown in the following words of the Prophet (BYP): "Muslims should share equally three things: the pastures, water and firewood . "advice of the Prophet, one of his companions, Uthman, who later became the third Muslim caliph, bought a water well called Ruma a particular and stated these public waters, that were available to the entire community.

Environmental Rights

In Islam human beings have the basic right to benefit from natural resources that God created.

Muslim jurists have spoken on this topic in its treaties and established the priorities of water use are:

The right to quench thirst.
won the right to drink.
The right to irrigate crops.

However, as we shall see, the environment as an entity has clear and distinct rights in Islam.

God informs human beings about the rights of animals to be mentioned alongside humans in the following verse:

"There is no creature that walks on land or fly with his two wings that do not form a community like you "(6:38).

can not leave pets to die of thirst if people have enough water to satisfy their needs. The Prophet Muhammad (BYP) said: "There is a reward (from God) for those who help to any living being," and said: "Whoever does a well water in the desert ... can not prevent the animals quench their thirst in him. "The immense moral value attributed to the act of giving water to any living creature is reflected in the words of the Prophet (BYP):" A prostitute was forgiven by God, because in passing next to a dog panting with thirst at a well of water, and seeing that the dog could die of thirst, he took a shoe and tying a handkerchief, drew water from the well to provide drinking. By this act (of mercy) God forgave his sins. "

The Qur'an mentions that the flora is entitled to the divine gift of water:

"And We sent down water from the sky with which We bring forth all kinds of vegetation, and it is the harvest of which produce big ear. And the buds of the palm bunches of dates we go to hand. And grapes, olives and pomegranates, all look similar but different flavors of fruits "(6:99).

"Have not you thought that God sends down water from heaven, and then has to emerge as springs on earth, and with it brings forth crops of different colors?" (39:21).

These verses of the Qur'an down the idea the water that God provides for all life forms benefit from it.

humanity's role as guardian of the Water (khalifa)

Humans are responsible for making sure that the gifts of God are preserved and made accessible to all living beings. In Islam, the interaction with the environment is guided by the notion that human beings are the guardians and protectors ( Julafáh ), and therefore we are equal to all other living beings, but we have a greater responsibility: protect and preserve the environment. For the Islamic concept are not the masters of the world, but friends and guardians. Arabic-language As one of the roots of the word Islam is salam which means peace and harmony, the Islamic way of life is to live in peace and harmony to individuals and society as well as with the environment.

In Islamic law, the environment is protected by specific mandates to avoid altering the natural balance through pollution or activities that destroy the environment. In the Qur'an, Allah commands believers:

"no mischief on Earth!" (2:11) .

The meaning of corruption is very wide and diverse, but can be interpreted as disrupting the natural or ruining natural resources. Muslim scholars had derived from the sources of Islamic law the application of penalties for misuse of water pollution and more than 1,300 years ago. This opens the door to the punishment or fines from polluters through modern legislation. The Prophet Muhammad (BYP) very strictly forbade the act of urinating or defecating in water sources. This suggests that Islamic law is a moral failing and a crime pour into the seas, lakes, rivers and water sources of public access, the untreated sewage. This is a teaching of the prophetic tradition (Sunnah), but unfortunately many Muslims who claim to profess a literal adherence to the example of the Prophet (BYP) and his righteous successors did not see this as a priority.

Water Conservation

The Quran states with respect to water:

That water reserves are limited.
That water should be used with restraint and moderation.

Islam teaches that water is limited and its use should be sensible and moderate, as the supply can not increase infinitely. God said this when he said

"We come down from heaven water to a limited extent" (23:18).

The Quran mentions that humans can use the Gifts of God for our sustenance in moderation, but to avoid excess and waste:

"Eat and drink in moderation, because God loves the wasteful "(7:31).

The prophetic sayings are more specific. The Prophet Muhammad (BYP) "used to perform ablution with water as called sa ' (equal to two thirds of a liter), and used to take a bath with five measures sa' (equal to five pints) . "One might think this was because the Prophet Muhammad (BYP) living in drylands, however, the Prophet (BYP) forbade waste even in conditions of abundance when he said:" Do not waste water even when performing washing on the banks of a river. "

Principles water management

Some of the principles of water management in Islam are: water as a social good, the management of water demand management and integrated water resource. The objective of these three principles is to ensure fairness.

Water as a social good

Access to water is first and foremost a public and social good in Islam as it is a gift from God.
The water belongs to the community as a whole, no individual can own the water resources as a monopoly.
The first priority over water use is access to drinking water in a quantity and acceptable quality for human consumption, and each individual has the right to cover her basic needs.
The second and third priorities for water are the mainstay of domestic animals and irrigation.
Humanity is the guardian of water on Earth.
In the environment, flora and fauna have a strong and legitimate right to protect water and is vital to protect the environment. Individuals, organizations and states are responsible for damage caused to the environment or the rights of his neighbor on the environment, including water use.
Water resources should be used in a rational and sustainable way to avoid depletion.
sustainable and equitable management of water depends on following universal values \u200b\u200bsuch as justice, fairness and respect for others.

Management of water demand

Water conservation is central to Islam. Mosques, religious institutions and schools should commit to the dissemination of this principle and to complement other educational efforts.
Islam is allowed in the reuse of wastewater, however, the water should have a required level of treatment to ensure the purity and safety required for the purpose used. It
permitted the marketing and complete assessment of sanitation that is, the full cost of processing, storage and distribution of water, as well as the cost of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal. However, the water price should be reasonable as well as its recovery should be efficient.
The privatization of water distribution is permitted in Islam, but the state has a duty to ensure the absence of monopoly, and a fair price and service.

Integrated management of water resources

Management Water is required to use the concept of assembly or consultation ( shura) with all stakeholders and beneficiaries.
All community members, men and women, can play an effective role in water management and should be encouraged to do so.
Communities must be pro-active to ensure equitable access to water resources.
Every nation has an obligation to share water fairly with other states or nations.
integrated water management is a necessary tool for the balance of equality between all peoples and social sectors.

Human Free Will: Its Implications

human free will: implications

By: Al-Maududi.

Excerpts from the book "The Principles of Islam" published in 1977 by the Islamic Center of Granada. The entire book can be read in http://www.latinodawah.org/library/spanish/losprincipios-libro.html

[...] Islam is an Arabic word which means submission, obedience. As for religion, Islam preaches submission and total obedience to God. [...]

The cosmic order that governs the universe, from particles to galaxies, is the law of God, the Creator and Lord of the Universe. Since the whole of creation obeys God's laws, we can say that the whole Universe is literally the religion of Islam, because Islam does not mean more than submission and obedience to God, the Lord of the Universe. The Sun, Moon, Earth and all other heavenly bodies as "Muslims" [...]. Everything in the Universe is Muslim because everything obeys the laws that have been assigned by God. [...]

Man has a dual nature, his life takes place on two different levels. On the one hand, like all other creatures, is entirely dependent on natural laws and can not get rid of them. But on the other hand, the man is endowed with reason and intelligence. It has the power to think and judge, to choose or refuse to approve or disapprove. You are free to choose their religion, their way of life and lead their lives according to the ideologies of their choice. You can draw your own code of conduct or accept one formulated by others. Has been endowed with the free will and can decide their own behavior. On this background, unlike other creatures, has received the freedom of thought, opinion and action. These two aspects clearly coexist in human life.

In the first case, like all other creatures, man is born and be a Muslim and automatically follows the commands of God. In the second, have the freedom to choose, or may not be Muslim, and the manner of exercising that freedom is the line that divides humanity into two groups: Those who submit to God and those who deny or reject God. Who chooses to recognize his Creator and Sovereign accept single scrupulously submits to His commands, follow the law has revealed to man for his individual and social life, thus comes to be a perfect Muslim. Has failed to reach full Islam, voluntarily deciding to obey God in the flat where he had been given the freedom to choose. [...]

Unlike this man is the man who though by nature he is a Muslim, lives in an unconscious way all his life, does not exercise its powers of reason, intelligence and intuition to recognize their Lord and Creator, and not use their freedom of choice rather than to deny its existence. Such a man is called kafir in Islam.

"Kufar" literally means "cover," "hide." The man who denies God is called "Kafir" (Concealer) because of their unbelief, conceals what is inherent in his nature and his soul, because nature is instinctively oriented towards Islam. His whole body, every member, every fiber of his body, is subject to that instinct. Every particle of existence, animate or inanimate, fulfills its function in accordance with the law of Islam and plays the role it has been awarded. But this man's life has been obscured, their spirit was lost and is unable to see the evidence. Can not discern their nature and their actions and thoughts are in total disagreement with her. The reality is foreign and groping in the dark. Here is the nature of the kuffar.

the "kuffar" is a form of ignorance, or rather, ignorance is par excellence. Is there any bigger than ignorance to ignore God, the Creator, the Lord of the Universe? He is a man who observes the vast panorama of nature, its mechanism and immutable superb, great concept that shines in all aspects of Creation: watch this gigantic machine, but they know who has made and addressed. Examine your own body, this wonderful body that works in a stupendous manner that serves their own ends, but is unable to discern the forces that has raised, the engineer who conceived and produced this machine, the Creator has fact be unique to this: man, from inanimate materials: carbon, calcium, sodium ... Recognizes the sublime concept of the universe, but can not distinguish who has conceived. Admire the smooth operation without seeing him as the Creator. You can see in the universe that surrounds the most brilliant displays of expertise in science, philosophy, mathematics or technology, but is blind to the One who gave birth to the infinite universe and never fully explained. How does a man unable to distinguish this particular fact could reach the real potential of knowledge? How does a man who has been in the wrong way could get good destination? You can not explain never the Reality, the True Path will be closed forever, and when undertaking something in the realm of science or thought, you can not ever enjoy the lights of truth and wisdom. Continue to walk blind and babbling in the darkness of ignorance.

Much worse: the "kuffar" is a tyrant, and even worse there. What is a tyranny, but a cruel and unjust use of force or power? If something or someone by force is contrary to justice or his own nature and his will, this is called tyranny

just saw that the whole universe is subject to God the Creator. What is natural, is to obey, to live according to His will and His law (more accurately, being a Muslim). God has given man power over all creation whose very nature demands that it be used for the sole performance of His will and only for this. Anyone who disobeys God, who is "Kafir," he is guilty of more serious injustice, using all the powers of his body and his spirit against the trends of nature, and thus becomes the unwitting instrument the drama of disobedience. Forces his head (whose natural instinct is to bow only before God the One, the One) to bow to other gods are not the true God, fed to your heart (the natural instinct is to love God) of love, respect and fear of another authority other than the Supreme Authority, the One This is in total contradiction with the natural instincts of these organs. Use the power he has (and has been given only by God himself) against the explicit will of God, making reign of tyranny. Can there be more cruel tyranny and injustice that this man who exploits the Creation and shamelessly forced to follow a path contrary to nature and justice?

the "kuffar" is not simply tyranny is worse, pure rebellion, ingratitude, infidelity. After all, what is man really? What power and what authority do you have? Who created your brain, your heart, your soul, your own body? Did he himself or God, may He be exalted? Was he or was God who created the universe? Who has put all the forces of nature to serve man, he or God? If all things were created by God and only Him alone, who thus belong to? Who is the sovereign right? God and God alone. If God is the Creator, the Lord, the Sovereign, is there anyone more rebellious than the man who uses God's creation against His decrees, that makes your mind and heart against God, and uses all his powers against the will of the Lord? The server who betrays his master, the officer who turns against his country, who deceives his benefactor, are all traitors. But what about the treachery and ingratitude and unbelief of "Kafir"? After all, what is the true source of all authority? Who has raised man to a higher position? All that man has and all that serves or benefits from others, has been given by God. With respect to their parents, the man has the largest land obligations, but who has been at the heart of parents that love their children, and who inspires you to do everything in their power for their welfare? Where does the innate desire and the possibility that the mother has to feed their children? It is clear that God is the greatest benefactor of man. It is your Creator, who feeds him and makes him live as well as their Lord and Master. Such is the position of God towards man, and no bigger betrayal and ingratitude than the "kuffar," which leads a man to reject her true Lord.

would be ridiculous to think that by adopting the attitude of "kuffar" man hurts God Almighty. Of any mode. What harm could the man who is an insignificant speck of dust on the surface of a tiny planet spinning in this infinite universe, the Ruler of the Universe, whose kingdom is so vast that with the help of more powerful telescopes allows us to guess its limits, which directs the path to heaven on Earth, Moon, Sun and the myriads of stars? Which provides all needs, but has no need for anyone to provide theirs. Man's rebellion against God can not do Him any harm, on the contrary, this disobedience merely precipitate the man on the road to ruin and disgrace.

The inevitable consequence of this rebellion and this denial is the latest setback in the ideals of life. A rebel will never find the path to true knowledge. Because knowing that it was unable to discover to his own Creator, you can not find any truth. The spirit and the reason for such a man is always astray. What reason can not recognize its Creator could elucidate the mysteries of life? This man did not suffer more than failures in all domains. Its moral, civic, social, family, their struggle to secure their livelihood, everything will be affected. Do not spread more than confusion and disorder in the land. Remorselessly, shed blood, violate the rights of their fellow men, be cruel to them, raise up the mess and destruction in the world. His thoughts and perverted ambitions, absence of insight, his distorted sense of values, their nefarious activities will be disastrous both for them and their relatives. Such a man can ruin the peace and balance of life on earth. In later life will be held guilty of the crimes committed against himself. His whole body, your brain, eyes, nose, hands, your feet will lament the misuse of them have done. Every cell in your body will rebuke before God, who is the true source of justice, and will apply the sentence he deserves. Such is the shameful result of "kuffar." It's going to total failure, both in this life and in later life. [...]

God has given man the possibility of education, think and meditate, and the knowledge of good and evil. But he has given, on the other hand, a relative freedom of will and action. It is in the exercise of this freedom as man is tested. [...] God has given freedom of will and action, so you can freely choose the way of life that is deemed good: Islam or "kuffar."

It is, therefore, on the one hand the man not to understand either its nature or the universe. Know who is the true sovereign and what are His attributes, and misused their freedom by taking the path of disobedience and rebellion. Such a man has failed in the examination of his knowledge, his intelligence and his sense of duty, and does not deserve a better fate than the one discussed above.

On the other hand, you can find who emerges victorious from this testing. Properly using their knowledge and spirit recognizes its Creator, have faith in Him, and without being in any way forced, choose to obey. He knows right from wrong, and even entirely free from If not, choose the good. Understands its nature, comply with its laws and its realities, yet having complete freedom of ways to follow, no matter what, it takes one of obedience and loyalty to his God, his Creator. [...]

Choose the truth, the reality is, is submitted with all gratitude to his Lord and Master. It is an intelligent, honest, who has a sense of duty, which has opted for the light before the darkness, and after distinguished reality, has responded enthusiastically to his call. [...]

At each stage of his quest, his consciousness of God will prevent you from evil and destructive use of science and scientific methods.

never will dream not to boast of being the master of these forces, the conqueror of nature, and attributed divine prerogatives, nor shall the human race [...] establishing his supremacy over all, without going back to the vilest means. Such an attitude of rebellion and defiance can not be a Muslim. Only a scholar "kafir" could be prey to such illusions and succumb exposing all mankind to the dangers of total destruction and annihilation. A Muslim scholar, by contrast, would behave differently. The more clearly see in the field of science, the more it reinforced his faith in God. Bow his head at him with gratitude, as he has blessed his sovereign power and giving it a very large science must reach for its own sake and for humanity. Instead of being proud, be humble, rather to exalt his own power, do great things for the common good. Not be given to unbridled freedom. Will be guided by the principles of morality and Divine revelation. In this way, science in his hands, instead of being an instrument of destruction, will become a means of human welfare and moral regeneration. It is in this way expressed his gratitude to his Sovereign for the gifts and blessings he has bestowed upon man. [...]

Regarding the right, the Muslim will try to make him the real instrument of justice, to protect the rights of everyone, particularly the weak. Shall ensure that each party receives and deserves any injustice or oppression is inflicted on anyone. Respect the law, will respect and will ensure that justice is unevenly distributed.

moral life of a Muslim is always full of piety, devotion and righteousness. Live in the world with the conviction that God is our only Sovereign, that everything that he and others may have been given by God, the powers at its disposal are nothing more than a deposit of God, that freedom that has been conferred must be used with discernment, and it is for your own benefit to use it as God's will. Will always keep in the spirit that must one day return to their Lord and give account of his life. The feeling of responsibility will always remain firmly entrenched in their spirit and never will behave irresponsibly or indifferent.

Consider the moral excellence of a man who lives with such provisions will be a [...] blessing for humanity, his spirit will not be disturbed by evil thoughts and perverted ambitions. Refrain from view, to understand and do evil. Master their language and do not ever utter lie. Keep your life in a fair and honest, and will prefer hunger to food gained by exploitation or injustice. Will never be complicit in the oppression or violation of human life and honor, whatever the form. Never give in to evil, whatever the price he has to pay for it. It will be the same goodness and nobility and will defend the right and truth, even at the cost of his own life. Hate all forms of injustice, be erected defender of truth that could not shoot down adversity. [...]

be the most honest and respected, and nobody can be overcome in this field. How could I reach the humiliation of a man to ask a favor does not extend the hand or bow to anyone but Almighty God, Sovereign of the Universe? [...]

Nobody in the world would be richer and more independent than he, because he will live a life of austerity and contemplation. Do not be sexy, neither weak nor greedy. Be content with what we earn honestly, and even if lots of wealth ill-gotten put before him, will reject with contempt. You will have peace and contentment of heart. Is there wealth greater than this? [...]

If they understood the true nature of a Muslim, will be convinced that he can not live in humiliation, slavery or submission. [...] Because Islam instills the qualities that are not overshadowed by any charm or no illusion.

Having lived a respectable and honorable life on earth, will return to its Creator, who pour out His blessings on him, because it has fulfilled its duty honorably, and has fulfilled its mission with victory in the testing. Has gotten out of life on earth and known in the subsequent peace, joy and eternal happiness.

This is Islam, the natural religion of man. [...] From all time, all who acknowledge God and love the truth, have believed in this religion and were satisfied with it. Even if they called this way of life Islam or otherwise. Whatever its name, meant Islam, total submission to the law and the will of the Creator.

Century Life: Mere Illusion fallacy worthless

LIFE: illusion, fallacy, STEAM worthless

By: Néstor Pedraza

My mom took me very early in the morning to the whereabouts of the route school, when we passed a corpse lying on the lawn. It was cool. I count seven or eight years, and I think it was my first contact with death. At that age, other people I know and had attended mass graves of relatives and acquaintances, dead hands each other or at the hands of the guerrillas, the police or the military. Other, younger, and would have been between its close, having fallen into the hands of paramilitaries or drug traffickers.

Unlike those who have been victims of violence in this country who have come to town not to drown in rivers of blood from their land, I am among those who have seen the War on TV. Escobar only with their bombs on the streets of Bogotá, we did see a little more closely what is being experienced on a daily basis in the Colombian countryside.

I surrounded myself with another kind of death. Overdose of antidepressants, rat poison, jumping back from a fifth floor, convulsing with cyanide in the arms of the bride, deadly drug cocktails, weeks in alcohol systematically and continuously, leaving the dignity and soul between some sheets putrid stink of sex ... death searches, individual and collective. When you live in a country where death round fields and streets with impunity by leaving trails of endless mass graves throughout the country, and strives to surround himself with the search fallacious evaders of living, is that you have a serious problem . Yes, buried several of my friends. Others out there, still breathing very reluctantly. It taught me early on that no one owns his life, not matter how hard you try to die, nobody dies yesterday. So I abandoned any attempt at suicide, death will come to me when it's time, either before or after, no matter what you do about it.

My contact with the extreme selfishness and avoidance mean suicide, created in me a barrier that has prevented me from understanding what makes people cling to life. I've seen that people will always cling to something, someone, to give meaning to life, and always end up disappointed, because human beings are imperfect, make mistakes, and will inevitably fail those we love. So people are being filled with fear, pain, hurt, bitterness, frustration ... And yet they feel like breathing more valuable than what may exist. I am meaning to a person persecuted for no reason, evicted from their land by war, he has left behind the bodies of their loved ones, eager to continue living in spite of everything: In some ways, life has been to convert an obligation, one must survive the war to tell the story and remember the fallen. But in the permanent death of those who never knew how to work the land, we only know the ignominy of capitalist exploitation (no matter how juicy is the salary, is still holding), can not find how to empathize with those who cling to the act of breathing as living a true life. For years, accompanied him on his mad self-destructive acts and was part of them, as he watched and analyzed. I was aware that destroyed my whole being, and simply did not care. They, in turn, had a desire to "live," and seemed to sincerely believe that all this vice, all that slavery, all this stupidity, they were "life." I never could understand, much less fit in and be like them. Stranger in a strange land, I moved in many different circles, I met people all sorts of religions and ideologies, different cultures and beliefs, world views and life very different, but all and all, without choice, ended up exactly the same. The vehicle varied: drugs, alcohol, sex, violence, snuff, fraud, treason, work ... Whatever it was, so to avoid life, while said to be "living" to the fullest. "This is life!," Was the phrase I heard most on the lips of any person, regardless of gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status or level of schooling, when he was in the midst of their process of self-destruction. Rarely met people that cultural tradition or philosophical beliefs, seemed to break that mold completely. For the most part, were simply more sophisticated ways and less self-destructive escape, which were seen as "spiritual." Generally from higher socioeconomic strata, these "spiritual" to live "healthy" in a modern style which dazzles many, except those who have to fight tooth and nail every day to survive. They go to hug trees and think that with a smile will change the world. But inside their homes is not as "green" meant to show to others.

As you can see, I'm not someone who has faith in humanity. It may be in large part by my love of history. Indeed, the history books are hardly talking about the communities that lived in peace for centuries. These long periods of peace are appointed only one line: "Between the year (or century) such and the year (or century) such, the rule (or the community or ethnicity) they had a period of peace." The rest is the record of wars. Read story gives one the false impression that humans have been killing each other relentlessly since the beginning of time, and we have not known any other way of life than that. Thing, of course, totally false.

But perhaps my lack of faith in humanity is simply the fact that we are fallible, imperfect. No matter how good, straight and ethics is a person, will always be susceptible to warping. A catastrophe, a treasure, an illusion, a crush, can completely transform a human being. Just need to press the correct button to unleash corruption, revenge, lust for power, selfishness, anger, jealousy, or any other emotion that leads a person to commit a momentary stupidity will regret the rest of his days, or become a wretch. And not only that. Even those who manage to keep straight, they may fail you when you need it most, not once but many varied and colorful ways.

say that the solution to everything is love. But what is love? For millennia, poets have sung of love in a million ways and has never been agreement on what it is. In the last century, psychologists have tried to do what the poets, and have failed in the attempt. The books on "how to love," "living and love in freedom, "" advice for love, "and the like, have sold like hotcakes in the last 50 years, however, people are becoming more lonely and empty. Neuroscientists have been content to define love in terms of electrical impulses and dose of hormones, so what use is it for the development of the human race? Do you think of love as a series of chemical and electrical processes will help us to find ways to live in peace and harmony? Or is that the millions of dead left by the defenders of love have helped to make the world better today than in times of the Crusades and the conquest of America? The only certainty is that you can not build a society without rules, and that at the point of love is just impossible. Even a family can be built only with love. To quote a popular saying: "When hunger comes through the door to a home, love jumps out the window." Love must be accompanied by justice and many other things for the community life possible.

I'm not the first nor the only, or be the last, to say that everything in life is an illusion. Pedro Calderón de la Barca put it this way in the seventeenth century: " What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction . And Lewis Carroll in the nineteenth century: "What is life but a dream?" mystics, Buddhists and Hindus have claimed for centuries. Thinkers and philosophers, Jews and Christians have agreed with it. The prophets have said time and again. Plato claimed that the man lives in a world of darkness, as a captive in a cave. And indeed, it has sprouted in me another way to see this life is a prison that we are against our will. Yes, against our will, because we can not leave here when we want, and even came when we wanted. Someone asked me to come to this world, as many believe? HA! No way would have accepted a proposal as absurd. Spitting in the face of whom I propose born, my answer would have been calmer. Reencarnaré after death ", as many believe? If reincarnation exists, I have cursed in front of it returns to a rayarle this rot for the face and cut it into pieces, veeeeery slowly. Come back to this prison, to face the pain again, betrayal and frustration, to work as a mule under the yoke of miserable few who do not even have the opportunity of hit in the face, to witness again the stupidity and bloodshed, to hear testimonies of abused, raped, displaced families from their land for no reason, people at risk of death for denouncing the evil, people mutilated and stripped by mere incompetence or negligence of others, or perhaps no longer to be a witness but a victim of this, because in this life I have done quite well, but in future there is no guarantee of anything, "and all for what? Why learn? Learn what, if the same can not remember what I learned in past lives? "Learn why, if what I learned in this life is not going to be useful in the next? "Learn this world is temporary and that everything in it is illusion, that there is nothing in the universe for what it's worth really worth living or dying? I do not need ten lives, not two, not even a whole life to learn that: he had already understood shortly after they reach adolescence, and I can go then, thanks.

And do not tell me what to learn is the opposite, because that would be stupid. The greatest characters in history, the greatest spiritual leaders, the only people that one could conceive as true role models, have been taught that this life is an illusion. And only have to be a little observer to realize that man is but a fragile moth trapped in a dark cave, crashing over and over against the walls of the cave in the midst of darkness. So Michel de Montaigne put it in the sixteenth century: "Man is something amazingly vain, variable and waving." If we were in a cycle of reincarnations, at this point at least half of humanity and would be in a spiritual level so high that the other half live learn quickly from their example. If the first souls would be hanging around here for over 100,000 years! But as said the warrior III century BC Chinese Hung Tieng:

"The dew on the lily has disappeared shortly after dawn. The morning dew evaporated, come again at dawn. Man dies and always ends, does anyone has ever returned from the beyond? "

Human

. We are capable of great creations, to transform our environment to improve it, to love and build, and also the most heinous atrocities, senseless killings of unspeakable crimes. We are not one or the other, we both. Each of us carries within him an artist and a murderer, an advocate and an oppressor, a sage and a fool, a saint and a criminal, be sweet and another ruthless. And depending on the context, history, life itself, sometimes we get what one, sometimes the other, sometimes individually, sometimes collectively. How can rely on such a creature? Those who serve you support today, tomorrow will deliver to your enemies, or bury you alive, or you just leave and continue another way. And so they should not be surprising at all, nor should we expect anything different.

life itself itself is meaningless. Most people spend their lives trying to make sense, clinging to this or that, as what gives meaning to their lives is crumbling self-destruction. And how creative and different are we to destroy ourselves!

can be filled with reasons to live: to fight for their country, for an ideal, the family, to achieve a dream, money and power, for recognition and fame, water conservation, human rights, the return of the dispossessed of their land, the future of children, to establish pederasty as an option legitimate sexual ... Many of the Crusaders believed sincerely struggling to earn heaven, and with this conviction took out some of the greatest massacres in history against the Arabs, but they were only puppets of economic and political interests. Many gringos went to Iraq convinced that defending freedom, and carried out some of the worst war crimes of the past decades, but they were only puppets in the service of oil multinationals. Many parents have given their best for their children, who have become drug addicts, gangsters, white-collar thieves tyrants or despots. Is it worth the effort? It would be interesting to know the mother's opinion of Hitler, but he died when he was just 18.

If one weighs the pros and cons of every step and every action puts the questions "Is this right?, Could do better?," worth it?, what guarantee do I have? "life is terribly heavy. And when the balance, there is always the red, despite how careful you are. How often one hears people complain because they "did his best" and the result was, if not catastrophic, disappointing? Life can have many joys, but in the end, if someone wants to feel satisfied, you have to make many concessions to himself and the world.

And that's what we do. Over the years, we become less demanding with ourselves and others, to not feel so overwhelmed. We always end up running away, one way or another. Again, I turn to Montaigne: "To those who ask me the reason for my trip I tell them that I know well what I run, but I do not know what I want."

I never know what sought, was not even sure to find something. But I knew I had found it when I read:

"Is not this hateful life of this world? Hateful what is in it, except the remembrance of God and what is close to it. And the wise teacher and the student learns. "

" I know in this life as if you were an alien or like you're passing through. "

" This world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the unbeliever. "

"Be austere in this life and God will love you, and dispenses with what men have and they will love you."

These sentences were pronounced the man himself had said "faith comes from knowledge," still head of state being slept on the floor on a mat filled with tanned leather palm fiber, which have military supremacy won a city without bloodshed and respected life, honor and property of its inhabitants (although they had chased and tried to kill him, and had tortured their fans), and managed to join a small group of barbarian tribes to turn them into a civilized state, which would become one of the major empires that humanity has seen, just 70 years after his death. This man called my attention immediately, and if his life story struck me, their message changed the course of mine.

Over time I have to wonder if it is true that what some old acquaintances have accused me: That I have ended the band, I thought the only way to find and I refused the chance to see others I became a radical. I look back and examine my past life. I always knew I lived because it was useless to try to kill me, not because life was very precious. Most of the time was spent in major depression. Nothing motivates me. I tried to hold on to literature, but I was never quite sure why. Ultimately, it was only an evasion mechanism more sophisticated than most. But then, I fell in others. Like my life ended up as a slave to the vices and stupidity as any other. Not even sought a religion or a philosophy, sought only how to live with some dignity, without prostituting my soul and my work without destroying the other, not enslave orders too large capitals, and if possible, giving me something other, something that made me feel useful. I tried for decades and failed miserably.

Now my perspective is different. People will always fail, fall, sometimes they rise again to fall again. And among the people I am, I've spent more time failing and falling down than trying to get up. But no matter, you accept that this God created man, and you do not do things to please others. If people fail, God never fails, and you act to please Him If one fails, people may hate you, but God can forgive him. What this world is a mess? Yes, well, Carlos Gardel sang it at the beginning of the twentieth century: "The world was and will be a mess, I know, in five hundred and six and in two thousand too ... " what? If one complies with the law of God, then you live the right way. There has to be wondering if it is working well, or if it's worth what you are doing. Is good because God has established so worth it because God will reward. And if you live well, you know that is providing a bit to make the world better. But he also knows that no one depends on the world to change, you do what you have to do, and does it well, the rest is in the hands of the Creator.

in the Koran Now I have an instruction manual that has historically proven effective to build lives, communities and nations, healthy and fair. I have also the authentic Sunnah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) an example to follow which historically has proven to be the best example of human behavior. Muhammad (BYP) lived like all the prophets, to follow him is to follow Abraham, Moses, Jesus (Peace of God be upon them all). That is, it tries to imitate the best men that have existed in all times and try to live like them. Now I have a north, a guide and an example. A light and way am no longer crashing against the walls of the cave in the dark. Do not depend on priests, saints, virgins, imams, enlightened, pastors, infallible ... or depend on visions, voices, dreams or lighting that I can play my whims or the whims of religious authorities which may even be the result of psychiatric disorders or active imaginations, do not: for it is the revealed word. Nor do I rely on my own ethics and constantly wondering if this ethic is correct or if due to my prejudices, bad habits and personal interests. I have direct communication with God, knowing His word and example of His Messenger (BYP), I know what He wants me, and what I am in this world. I know how I behave and what are my primary responsibilities. In Islam is meeting all the knowledge and guidelines necessary to build me as a person, to build a family, to build a community, a nation.

This is an illusory world in which the only reality is God. A world traveler, who came because God wanted it that way (I would not respect someone had asked me, as a soldier would not respect a general who asked him about the battle strategy and what position it would occupy) and thank God that I will not return once I'm gone. A world that is only a test preparation and real life, a life in which God willing, I see the Garden and meet the end of freedom.

What if apostasy and stop being a Muslim? Well, what can you offer in return? I'm not tempted by money or power, or fame, living in total darkness. Women? My physical and spiritual scars respond to that question. Nothing motivates me in this world, nothing catches my eye, there is nothing that I consider worth enough to leave the comfort of my bed and sleep delight. Even the children, because the only good and decent that you can do for them is to prepare them to go and make his own life, not expecting to thank overturn. One dies and nothing is carried, said the grandparents, so why fight? And if the matter Life is material, what is it spiritual? "Mysticism, perhaps? That seems too drugs. And drugs never caught my attention. Moreover, at least if you use drugs, know that the effect is immediate, and knows how long. With mysticism never know. You have to go every Sunday to see if a miracle happens, see if you feel the "touch of the spirit," but no guarantees. Sometimes yes, sometimes no ... Sometimes it's a good trip, sometimes not. I shared with many of the "played" very strong self-destruction days. No, never able to convince me that being "touched" every weekend to do different from me. Neither asceticism attracted me, because after all, no sense that God had given us this body to do it only on one side and deny our needs, including the need for contact, communication, communion with others.

So what if it ceases to be Muslim? I could not return to business as before. Before you knew there was nothing to serve, but believed there was no choice at all. Now that I know no alternative, he could not return to the same. Nor may stick some philosophical, religious or political group, after all I knew about it. Prior failed to capture, let alone now. I would ascetic or monk, and frankly devoted to amass a fortune or becoming a serial murderer is too much energy invested in meaningless platitudes, and I'm not sick in the head, fortunately.

No, there is nothing for me out of Islam, but let me die in bed while watching impassively at the ceiling for weeks. In Islam there is light, knowledge, wisdom, people who do not need to say anything to convince me of anything, just share with me and that share is everything, at the time we spent together I can feel, see, smell what life is like a step that if you can give leads to something better, and they are living proof that this step can give themselves the right way, as God intended. Now that I'm Muslim, for the first time in my life I'm surrounded by zombies, I'm surrounded by people alive, that is not clinging to this life, but living well in preparation for eternal life. And I learn every day from them. But do not depend on them, I rely on God, I owe Him alone Even if they are corrupted, I showed that it is possible, and the guide is still there, within my reach.

Living

worth it, because they live to please God through a righteous life, and life straight means helping others without expecting to be thanked (God is one who recognizes the good works), looking after the environment is not as "green" but because God placed in trust building correctly, be kind to animals, work honestly , have a family to worship God, to have children who can be taught to live the right way to be builders of a just society in the future (and not empty fools who cut the veins every week). And if you do things right, and eventually something goes wrong, you're calm, they did what he had done the right way. Live according to God's law makes sense, and has rewards in this world and in the other life. Beyond that, nothing makes sense.

So you can call me radical. If you have another way to be happy in it, follow it with full conviction, but not by chance trying to show me as an option, not even pretend that I accept that is a valid path. I spent too many years in too many ways, and today no one raised me something different to all that what I went through, and only account on my memory as years thrown away. Being Muslim does not free me of pain, injustice and evil, but it gives me a north, makes me a better person and prepared me for what come. I'm a discipline, a moral, a comprehensive socio-economic-political-economic independent of communism, feudalism, capitalism and other man-made system (all historically failed), a ritual (as necessary for life daily), a worldview, a way of thinking, a reason for living, basic rules (fundamental for living together in family and community), to teach me the correct way to eat and sleep so that even those acts become as simple acts of worship to God and benefit me both physically and spiritually.

If I can be a real Musulmán (es decir, una persona completamente obediente y sumisa a la ley y a la voluntad de Dios), será sólo por misericordia del Clemente, porque por mí mismo jamás habría logrado ni siquiera llegar hasta donde he llegado (y estoy muy lejos de vivir de lleno el Islam). Y si no, al menos habré logrado hacer algo que sí vale la pena: esforzarme en cumplir con lo que Dios manda. Aparte de eso, no existe nada en el universo entero que tenga valor para mí. Gracias, pero no, gracias, no voy a dejar de ser Musulmán.

“Toda alma probará la muerte, y recibiréis vuestra completa recompensa el Día de la Resurrección. Quien sea salvado del Fuego e admitted to Paradise will have triumphed. The worldly life is nothing but a pleasure illusory "(Quran 3:185).
