the story is important as the background genesis related todays sunni shia split. Is moreso relevant to the discussion at hand in that mohammeds words were left burning without a response possible for clarification to inquiry...he was dead and his daughter was the one who almost had thier house burnddown
ali and umar both wanted to lead / on his deathbed mohammed chose alis(shia sunni disagree on this) but at the same time umar gained communal consensus umar & co went to fatimahs house daughter of mohammed, and ali was there They( most versions say )carried wood and threatenend to burn down house if they didnt concede. thats how i remember the story but i too lazy to see if im right lol
Interesting. I know almost nothing of islamic stories. I agree even the words of saints can be twisted into weapons when left in the hands of a righteous mob. But saying nothing wont necessarily save us, the purest silence can still be misconstrued by a noisy mind.
How do I become a follower of your blog?
ReplyDeleteShould be a follow button top left of the screen on the blogger tool bar. there is on my screen at least :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! I really agree with your thoughts! Some things can not be described with the words, they were not meant to be put into words!
ReplyDeleteWhat ever I say, The words are the splashes on the surface of a deeper meaning.
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree more to it.. a lot is only felt and experienced.
ReplyDeletewords are torches lighting the path towards understanding
ReplyDeletetruth doesnt need light to be felt but it does sometimes need light to be revealed
I like, words = light. And if you leave them burn unattended they might burn down the house :)
ReplyDeleteso true, especially when you really have a hard time getting back to them! The story of umar at fatimahs house comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that story, I've been googling, but I can't really get the gist of it. Did they burn the house down or not?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of when I leave my mouth running without paying mind, and they don't say what I meant at all.
