Sharafuddin Maneri

This passage was quite long, but it had a lot of in site as to sharafuddins Maneri belief as to how a person worships God. He talked about “there is neither old nor new: everything is nothing, nothing at all. Yet he is what he is.” I think he is saying God has always been here and there has always been a God. Man start as nothing and they turn into nothing, so how can we measure up? We can’t; the only thing we can do is have faith in God and worship him. “When you lose yourself in God, you proclaim the divine unity. Lose the sense of being lost –that is complete detachment”. Not until a person lets go, I mean really lets go can they truly understand how grate God is. Nor can they even begin to understand anything……

Muhammad

This passage seamed to talk about the things that are provided to men. "And the earth also stretches out, setting on it the mighty hills, where we made every kind of joyous thin o grow..." Everything is here for us to use and to be thankful. The passage talked about the chain of life God creates. Like when it talked about it raining that allowed the gardens to grow and grain to be harvested and in turn it would bring life back into something that was dead. I liked the part that stated, "All that is in the heavens and in Earth magnifies God. He is the all-strong, the all-wise." I like this because to me it’s like he is all wonderful and powerful, but loving and kind. He creates life even though he could take it away. He makes the earth and heavens beautiful and grand for us even though he does not have to.
