Re: Nalain of Rasool SAWS
I am sorry and probably wrong too. I consider our Prophet to be a rational and intellectual being, therefore I can not bring myself to accept that he would ascribe healing powers to hairs, nails, shoes and other personal belongings, or endorse people to use them as such.
Even if we entertain this theory that he did, then that makes us no different than the chailay of peer pagara, who collect dirt with his pajero’s tyre marks and claim it to be holy.
One possibility that could be is that maybe it was a miracle which worked during Prophet’s life, at specific moments in time, just like the staff of moses. Attributing mythical powers and expecting it to work now on our pathetically petty problems is insane.
Redvelvet, stories like these are in every freaking religion. Every religion, irrespective of geographical location has accounts of demonic possession. Their priests, pundits, maulvis all claim to get rid of evil by reciting verses from holy books or performing exorcism rituals, which makes me wonder what is wrong with people, why don’t we see these patterns, why can’t we stop looking for god’s name in cabbages and clouds?
If we keep on with this, we will soon find our selves performing crazy rituals and then wonder where we went wrong.
People please think about it, religion is not blindly following on whatever you hear and read, use your brains. Things that don’t make sense are most probably bull-crap, don’t be sheeple .
I’m sure atheists say the same about God and hereafter etc.
If something doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it’s B crap.
In Indo-Pak, fake shaykhs and peer hijacked and twisted the concept of tabarruk and tawassul and turned it into a money making business. On top, the wahabi ideology rose and made the naive masses believe they were the voice of reason and rationale. This is how we lost the concept of adab and barakah.
