Committed Completely to GodHe went on, "Always the highest thing that teachers and masters would work on in helping a believer is what is called a state of fana. Fana means that you totally forget yourself. You forget who you are. You feel that you are not doing an activity but rather that the action is being done through you. "So," he underscored, "in all your activities, you commit yourself completely to God. You give yourself to God, and that’s what Islam means. Islam does not take its name from any person — as Christianity takes its name from Christ or Buddhism takes its name from Buddha — or Hinduism receives its name from the Indus River and Valley of India. "You see," he leaned toward me, "the central basic point of Islam is consciousness of God." |
