I was looking for the nearest book(s). My way of reading is very strange. I usually start some different books together so i dont feel confuced with a routine way of reading. Right now, if i raise my hand, i can take “Freedom” by Muhammad Misbah Yazdi, “Toward understanding Islam” by Muwdudi, “Quantum Mechanics” by W.Greiner, “Martyrdom, Arise and Bear Witness” By Dr Ali Shariati and the Holy Quran.

Finally i chose “The Perfect Man” by Dr Murtaza Mutahhari:

“ What is human pain? It does not mean only physical pain. It is a pain considered sacred by mystics and is peculiar to human beings and for this reason, a human being is preferable to an angel, for, an angel is free from pain. That human pain is the pain of seeking God.
Man is a reality produced by divine breath in another world, and is not wholly homogeneous with the things of this world. He has a feeling of strangeness and alienation with all other creatures here since they are all changeable and perishable and not worthy of attachment.
Man, however, has a perpetual anxiety, and this is what draws him towards devotion and worship of God, communion with Him, and proximity to Him, as his origin.”

I also wondered what will be the result in the Holy Quran. It was the Sura Al Maeda(from my Quran):

97. Allah made the Ka’ba, the Sacred House, an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: That you may know that Allah has knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and that Allah is well acquainted with all things.

I tagged Unique Muslimah, Johnnypeepers , Bosnian Leila , Organica and anyone who want to be tagged.
