Me And God (Episode No.9)

Me and God
Writer: Taimoor Ajmal
Episode No. 9

(Scene 1)

The nafs('nafs' is an Arabic word, literally means "self" and has been translated as 'psyche', 'ego' or 'soul') is a combination of three things.

1. Body
2. The five senses
3. Mind

Understand the body first, the body is just a garment, it has two needs, food to live, and reproduction(sex) to never die. He only wants to satisfy his hunger and grow (increase the breed).

The five senses are following:

1. Sight (vision)
2. Sound (hearing)
3. Smell (olfaction)
4. Taste (gustation)
5. Touch (tactile perception)

These five senses collect information.

Now let's come to mind. This is the Central Processing Unit. The mind is an analyzer. In short, understand that the information that the senses collect, the mind produces output by processing them. The mind is an intelligence and security software whose job is to protect the body and fulfill its requirements. The five senses are Data collector Agents. Who gets the power supply from the body. All three are guarantors of each other's safety And completely useless without each other. The pleasure in sex is the fuel of the mind, and the organism transfer in sex is the fuel of the body. And yes, one thing to note is that the mind and the brain are separate from each other but interconnected. Just as the body can be touched but not the soul, so the brain can be touched but not the mind. The mind is thinking software. And the brain is made up of many cells. The brain is a hard drive where all the data is stored.

(Scene 2)

Son, Now I will tell you about the concept of God in the major Semitic religions.

Judaism is one of the most important Semitic religions. Its followers are called Jews and believe in the prophetic mission of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him).

In the fifth book (Deuteronomy) of the Bible, the following is the Hebrew command of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) which tells us about God.

" Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad"
It is a Hebrew quotation which means.
"Hear, O Isreal: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Duet 6:4]

Here are a few more verses.

"I, even I, am the Lord; and besides me, there is no saviour."
[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]

"I am lord, and there is none else
There is no God besides me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]

"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me".
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9] 

"Thou Shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor see them: for I the lord thy God am a Jealous God..."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]

The same message is the book of Deuteronomy:

"Thou shalt have none other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the lord thy God am a Jealous God..."
[The Bible, Duet 5:7-9]

Let's talk about Christianity, Christianity is a Semitic religion. which have about two billion followers in this world. Christianity is attributed to Jesus Christ (peace be on him).

(Scene 3)

Saleema takes Ammar towards these places of worship, There are places worship of three or four different religions together.

Saleema: Look at these places of worship, they belong to different religions, But there is only one cry of the people there and that is "God".There are people from different religions and they only believe in their God which is defined by their religion. They consider their way of worship to be the right thing to do and others wrong. See, this confusion is made by human beings, otherwise, you just think that why god wants his worship in different ways from some creatures and different from other creatures?

Ammar: So why is God listening to the cries of others who do not know God properly?

Saleema: Man-made a distinction in God (divided into many). But God is God, He does not discriminate between creatures. He gives to him who is heedless and He also gives to him who is aware. Now Saleema and Ammar were preparing for the return journey when Ammar suddenly saw his girlfriend who now came out of the synagogue with her husband. Ammar stopped, and the events of the past began to unfold before his eyes. Saleema suddenly noticed the stopped of Ammar and changing expression on his face that this is the girl whom Ammar loves. Suddenly Ammar wanted to take a step towards his love but Saleema stopped him.

Saleema: Stop, Ammar! what are you doing?

(Scene 4)

Omar: Look Yasir, every religion in the world teaches peace. All religions(followers) are happy in their areas. But every religion teaches preaching in which there is no evil, every human being is free to follow any religion he wants. But when one religion spreads too fast through preaching, other religions begin to weaken, and that is where the war begins. Let's try to understand this in simple language, consider that you are a Muslim, your religion is Islam, The society in which you live in an Islamic society, But you have another brother who lives in another corner of the world, He is also a Muslim but he does not live in an Islamic society. Now, if he spreads the teachings of Islam, people who agree with him will accept Islam, This is how the changes in this society will begin, Its system will begin to change. By the change of this system, if someone has a formal, religious, or power loss, he will try to stop the followers of this new religion(Islam). If they do not stop, he will oppress them. Will try to take away their ideological freedom. This is where the story begins. Every religion commands war against oppression and teaches peace. Now you, who are Muslims will take a step forward to help your distant Muslim brother. You will first explain(Peace and freedom message) to the oppressor, he will not understand, he will attack you. You will defend yourself and retaliate. Now that the weapons of the two religions have collided, the war has begun. Now the world has seen that the two religions have fought each other. Now Satan will never allow peace to prevail. And infidels(disbelief) is not an insult, infidels(disbelief) means denial of God's commands, And every religious believer thinks that the other religious believer is in denial of god's commands. Because of this, they consider non-believers(infidels) to be hellish. Hell is the place of the infidels, God's commandments are peace, justice, and nature. And why should God come forward and call a ceasefire?. These wars are fought for economic gain, power, peace, or justice. Is it God's work now to reconcile between you?. He has given you wisdom for this which you may have forgotten to use. Yes, God supports the truth. And the name of God is on the lips of those who kill and those who die because they think that I am the true soldier of God, the rest are disbelievers(infidels). And yes, the human intellect has used religious weakness for their benefit. But wars have been fought for truth and are still being fought.

I hope you understand everything which I said.

(Scene 5)

Now Khalid asks the girl her name who is sitting next to him.

My name is Nida and yours?

My name is Khalid.

Now Sajid's voice echoed in the hall that all the boys and girls should go to their respective rooms. After three days of training, all of you boys and girls will stay together.

Now Khalid was constantly thinking about this girl(Nida). He was given training in self-defense in the next two days. In which his companion was nida. He was now well acquainted with Nida. Now he was just waiting for the last day after which he had to be free from all restrictions. And he could stay with his favorite girl at any time.

Khalid was resting in his room at night when suddenly Talha entered his room through the window. Khalid asked in fear why did you come through the window?

Talha said, "We don't have time, hurry up. We have to get out of here. They have found out about us and also that I have told you secret things."

Khalid said, "No, I will not leave here. I doubt that you are on the wrong path. I don't even know you well."

Talha: I knew they would change your mind. Foolish boy, the girl named Nida, in whose love you are going mad, has warmed the beds of many boys like you in the name of love, and those boys have fallen into the trap of her love, destroyed everything, and are now lying in the grave.

Khalid: If it were all a trap, why would they tell so much about the psychology of love? Why did they explain their traps to me?
