Quran: A manual for living- Part 3 of 10

This segment is the core of the series in which the central theme is the Divine Reality. Shaykh Fadhlalla presents various key questions in framing this discourse: ‘Who is Alllah?’, ‘Where is Allah?’, ‘How can we access Allah’s presence?’. This talk presents an essential overview of the Qur’anic cosmology. The ineffable nature of the divine cannot be described or contained, however the Qur’an provides snapshots, allusions and indications. This talk covers tasbih and tajreed (similarity and incomparability) and various approaches for relating to the divine attributes and qualities are discussed in parallel with the degrees of Unity. The meaning of glorification and existence is an important theme in this talk. The emphasis of the Qur’an and the prophetic teaching is Divine Unity. Shaykh Fadhlalla explores the intricacies of the Qur’anic cosmology, elaborating the navigations and maps that aid in understanding our drives and behavior, so that we may live correctly whilst perfecting the art of abandonment and experiencing the perfection of divine presence.
