Edifice of Islam

 The edifice of Islam as a religion is constructed in  such a way that it makes the most important aspect of human life possible- the ability to conceive in as much accuracy as a human mind can conceive and fathom. 

We clean the floor, and light up incense to place a revered object or do a reverential act. To make the stage ready for Allah in hearts, Islam creates a scenario that is clean, holy and highly evolved. 

The 5 times prayer, the tone of submission, the reiteration of the inconceivable, pervasive, almighty nature of Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala through Quran, the 99 names of Allah, the many advice to not try relate Allah to created forms, the prohibition of music, the reminder to be reverent in prayer, in holding Quran, in mentioning Prophets' (AS) and Allah's (SWT) names all creates a mindspace that is highly subtle and sensitive to the subtle sensitive aspects of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. 

Islam's spirituality is rendered in a incese infused lit up pastel colored, pearl studded architecture.. when we get there and spend some time there, in the middle of it all, a pure, hallowed sentience of the Great Creator's light comes..

Alhamdulillah. You are so Wise and Mighty and Subtle Rabbe..
