Re: A Trip Into The Supernatural
Dear lethal kamikazi, shaitaans are harmful and destructive natural forces, people or ideas in heads of people. Jinns too are mainly people not supernatural beings.
People are good actors and they make up things all the time for various reasons that motivate them. There are billions of people who believe all sorts of things due to their ignorance about reality eg look at idol worshippers, grave worshippers and so on and so forth. People just conjure up things as they please this is why the quran was revealed to guide them out of all the nonsense the people were involved in. This is why the quran is light of knowledge that shows the path for people to walk on. It was not sent to throw people into confusion instead or darkness of ignorance.
The quran is full of explanations about origin of things, their purposes, their function so that people start reasoning things out instead of remaining ignorant and confused.
The words used in the quran if we look for their explanations they do make perfect sense then I wonder why people turn them into fathomless mysteries?
If we look into silly explanations of the quran, people have given such concepts to certain words that they seem to be supernatural powers but if we examine them closely they fall apart.
Take word jinn as an example. The quran tells us people and jinns interact. The question is if jinns are supernatural powerful beings as people assume them to be is there anything that they cannot do in this world? Like the assumption people have about shaitan.
If shaitan had the powers that people attribute him with, is there anything he could not do in this world? If shaitan is what people think he is out of their own make belief, he could have done a lot and very long ago. The world does not work like that and that is why the quran explains all things that it does so that we do not fall for nonsense concepts that have no basis.
Put powers attributed to shaiatan through false stories in religious books and through misinterpretations of stories from the true books on one side and the reality of real things on the other and see how it become very obvious what is true and what is false.
Do you think that we muslims will be fighting over things that we do about things like times and places of prayers and fasting and sighting of moon? I mean jinns are muslims also why do they not guide us about things and why they did not do the same in time of the prophet? Why those people remained unaware of space travel when jinns could do all that long before people could?
Why magicians collect pennies in street acts then get money from the banks through magic and jinns that they claim they control? Why each and every country employed human spies instead of jinns to spy on each other? Why people need atomic weapons when they have control over jinns who ought to have much more power then atomic bombs? If we carry7 on this line of reasoning very soon we realise that we have been made fool of by cunning people.
Look at how much money people spend on phone calls to tv channel astrologers, to other smart guys who offer quick solutions to their problems. If in this day and age we have not learned sense then who is to blame?
When people do not do things that they should do and when people do things that they should not do, we should worry about it and help put it right otherwise the world will gradually turn silly. All because good or bad spread depends on what we want and what we do not want.
