There are many questions we ask ourselves in life, in relation to our being and what it means to be human. Billions have come before us and billions will come after us and the same question will remain open ended in all creeds and in all thoughts of the human brain: Who am I? For me this question began at home and extended outside to the wider world asking who are you? The answers to all curiosities lay in learning, whatever we learn has an impact on life at the time and revising what we had learnt in the past moves us to revise the same work into the future to fulfil our understanding and give our time value. Restoring religion as faith in knowledge seeking and balancing it with non secular levels is an essential skill to master for social repair and bipolar balance.
Getting answers from literature polarized my pre-conceived biological ideas. What i learnt was bipolar to what I had genetically inherited as faith giving rise to clashes, dialectics and disorders. Defining and designing our beliefs over and over again fitting in with what we learn about life sometimes does not fit in with our souls, so, returning to religion is a natural choice, it was the times when great revelations were written and humanity with faith based identity was restored. How we worship Allah(swt) differs from religion and cultures, but the ultimate message is the same. As religion heals and links our souls to spirituality – our faith and our souls are restored to cleanse and maintain humanity for betterment, for generations to come.
The story of Maryam/Mary, is a unique and a miraculous story of a woman in religion who bought social justice, order and gender conditioning to women in all of humanity. Whatever religion women belong to women can relate through lineage and through mother natures tongue, metaphorically speaking, making Maryam/Mary a very popular name for girls. Her solidarity and hardships would not have been recognised and appreciated if she conceived Jesus the natural way, Allah (swt) had to create a miracle to give women prime status for generations to come as women were considered ill, nervous and inferior in those times of trial and darkness. Just like the male prophets and their times of hardship were being tested and articulated , so were womens’ – it was identity woman time. The suffering she endured in her time of trial, did not break the reality rope of religion rather it reinforces it which proves the iridescence, maternal, complex role of women in society in which, motherhood is spoken commonly as Lingua franca between women of different religions.
Religion is a way out of this world and into the next, just like narratives take us to a different time and place: It is from the stories we relate and associate who we are and what is our place in the wider world. Religion is not only faith but part of your identity too in every religion. It is through our religious biological beliefs that our lives are shaped and made meaningful. So, the religion of Abraham is the oldest and the most profound, most reviewed religions on earth. Seeking knowledge is an innate skill for survival, treasured in all people – recognising that skill is important to learn the world at secular and non-secular levels so there are no psychological and social clashes, dialectics or disorders. The oneness of Allahs’ creation as mother nature is continuously revived and refreshed just like refreshing, reviving and reviewing religion for betterment, understanding and conditioning of humanity.
