    Though the dark tomb thy broken body hides,

    Still true, still manifest my love abides.

    I sought thy dwelling, passionate for thee,

    When Destiny had done its worst with me,

    But it was desolate, though wast dead,

    And ah, the bitter tears for thee I shed!

     

     

    The meadows laughed for joy,

    The clouds wept many a tear,

    As when a lovesick boy

    beholds his darling near

    Such a sight one becomes enchanted.

    My hope drew near, till I streched out

    My hand, upon my hope to lay;

    But then my object swerved about

    And vanished into the Milky Way.

     

    So suddenly I, who was thus

    So certain, fell into despair;

    My hope was swept into Sirius

    That seemed within my grasping there.

     

    All men had envied my good chance,

    And now I envied in my turn;

    Desire had cast on me its glance,

    Yet I was only left to yearn.

     

    So fate delights eternally

    To vary good with ill sruprise:

    None puts his trust in Destiny

    Who is ambitious to be wise

    Uuh this I long forgot about its existence, to surface now that I have even become more philosophical (using the word here generically); it is with delight I should first attempt to define what virtue is—perhaps most of the respondees have approached the issue in relative terms. The word may be but the meaning isn’t—though one can deduce another question from my mere statement and say is language a subjective entity; are meanings are subjective or otherwise? For example the meaning of God, is that subjective or it has an objective meaning to it? No doubt the fervent mind would undoubtedly first hurry it with the answer that is meanings being relative, but just like any metaphysical issue when the spanner it thrown in, the whole thing becomes murky- now let me not digress from the point at hand. Now let us consider what we mean by vurtue.

     

    Virtue as a thing is agent-centered entity. This means it is the foundation of good morals. What is then good morality? How do we define what is moral and what isn’t? this pseudo-theological and philosohical questions are not going to be considered at length here simply it would take a day to decioher all the issues involved. But I shall attend briefly to their response.

     

    Moral= goodness. This does not help. What is good? Is goodness defined by humanbeings (this means it is subjective, since humanbeings are not of the same frame of a mind) or it is independent from human experience? The preference between these two understandings makes all the difference in the way we see ourselves as humanbeings. It gauges the authority of religion, and it determines the behaviour of moral reasoning. The seeds of goodns, morality and virtue are words that jump together in every sphere of human experience. As none empericist (Lock, Hume and most earlier English Philophers were Empericist Philosophers) I believe that it would be folly to assume that all we know, respect or even worship should derived from our human experience—experience is used loosly in this context. The seed of good moral is there within us all as we come out of our mothers womps with our eyes closed together.

     

    Now, have broadly defined what I meant by morality (or perhaps I haven’t adequately done so) let us move it to the rest of the issue?

     

    Can then fortitude, bravery, kindness to others, courage, temperance, justice, prudence, and also truthfullness be taught? Can it be developed and cultivated?

     

    The answer to this is undoubtedly yes. Human’s have relatively speaking a free choice in life, we are not shackled to some iron robs contarary what the popular believe is. In other words I am not fatalist. As the popular Hadith Says, Kulu Mawluudun Yuuladu Calal Fidrah, Fa abawaahu Yuhawidaani, aw Yunasiraani or Yusalimaai (the last addition is narrated in the Sunan, was not aware of it, but Sheekh Maxamuud Shibli of Holland has indeed brought my attention to it). This means moral goodness is there, but it can either be cultivated to goodness or otherwise

     

     

    Hay Ibnu Yaqdan, this book is good. It is about a young boy was brought up by Gazzalle in an Island. He never had a human contact when he was growing up, and when he eventually had his first contact to a human; he stated that there was a higher being. I read this book few years back, it is written by Ibnu Tufail. Great book, you can read the summary of the story on here: http://www.islamonline.net/English/ArtCulture/2001/04/article3.shtml

     

    This story illustrates that moral goodness is innately in us all. But One can become corupted or enlightened as the above Hadith says.

     

    Hey, I really, have to do some work now, I hope this was enough for the time being.

     

    Let the ideas roll.

     

    Respectively,

    This is great thread, potentially great place to learn.

     

    Did you know that a real believer is one whose his hand and tongue kept away from his fellow Muslims -- Laa yu'minu axadukum xataa salimal Muslimuuna min Lisaanihi Wayadihi- aw kamaa qaala Nabiyu SCW.

    As a sympathiser of the Salaf's manhaj (the true path to the enlightenment), i agree with you Muraad adeer (I hope you don't mind me saying adeer to you adeero).

     

    The definition is something I have borrowed from the website, because I agree with the definition of Khaariji. But my agreement with them ends there. Especially wadaadka garka dheer markey kusheegaan Khaariji (they have implied that) ayaa jirkeyga xukaakubaa-- like my Somali, i have been improving it lately.

     

    Arinku sikastaba ha ahaadee, yeenaan ku deg degin arinmahaan oo kale. Sida walaalkeen Entep uu sheegay waxaan waxaaba laga yaabaa iney ka danbeeyeen qolyahaan aan maganta/martida unahay.

     

    Faarax Saan Qaad.

    Salamu Alaikum

     

    Muraad, walaalkiis, Salafiyah Jadiida anigu maahi. Entrep ayaa su'aal iweydiiyey su'aashii ayaan uga jawaabey. Anigu Jihaadi iyo Murji'i toona maahi. Muslim kunool Cari gaaleed oo imaankiisa lataag daran ayaan ahay. Anigu Rabiic ibnu haadi al waadicina xer uma ihi, neather am I a follower of wadaadka garka dheer ee gaaladu dooneyso-inkastoo isga aan ixtiraam dheer uhayo.

    Entep: Kharaja= waa kabaxay, yakhruju= wuu baxayaa, khaarijan= midka baxay. Ta'**** ahaan waa saas weeye.

    What is a Khariji and Who are the Khawarij?

     

    Khariji or Kharijite: a follower of the Khawarij, or the

    attribute of following the Khawarij.

     

    Khawarij: the group that expels people from the fold of

    Islam upon innovated principles and revolts against the

    rulers, causing much turmoil throughout the land

     

    The original Khawarij were the descendents of a man named Dhul-Khuwaysarah,

    as prophesied by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah raise his rank and grant him

    peace). They are the sect that were responsible for the killing of many of his

    companions. They differ from the followers of the Salaf (the Prophet and his

    companions) in that they do not restrict themselves to the understanding which

    the Salaf had when applying texts related to takfir (excommunication). Hence,

    they use textual evidences, but fall short in understanding them. This is why

    the likes of Osama Bin Laden make unrestricted takfir.

     

    Regarding the Khawarij, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, one of the great Salafi

    scholars of this time, said: "So having enthusiasm and an over-protective love

    for the religion is not sufficient. They must be founded upon knowledge and

    understanding of Allah's religion."
