Don’t get married, get your degree and your education first, they say. But is this what Islam teaches? \\\\\\\"Nothing will give you as great an illusion as the first few hours of a diet” - Br. Khalil Jafar aptly points out in his discourses relating to the two “natures\\\\\\\" which exist within human beings: the “fitrah” (divine innate nature) and the “tabiah” (animal nature). The question posed here is, “is it possible for us to totally disconnect from the animal nature (tabiah)?” Let us take the examples of those cultures and ideologies of the past, such as the Indian mystics and Catholics, who promoted ideas like celibacy, self-mortification and self-harm in order to punish the body and separate the desires of man from the worldly realms. In the end, we will recognize that tabiah (the animal nature within us) cannot be plucked out of our existence. #ButterflyWithin #IslamicTeachings #PureIslam #Islam #Soul #Spirit #MindSoulBody

Brother Khalil Jafar explains the concept of “dying” before actual death touches us. The only real thing which is certain about life is that it will one day end; and every soul will inevitably taste of death. The main purpose of Islam is to reform the human being. Allah has created us with both the tabiah (animalistic nature) and the fitrah (divine nature) in order to test which of us will remain in the superficial shell of our animalistic selves and who will transcend in order to transform into something greater. #SelfDevelopment #Thoughts #Contemplation #Islam #IslamicTeachings #Quran #Ahlulbayt #Death #Butterfly #Life

He is closer to you than your own veins. He has watched your journey up until this moment. He knows your past and your future. The fitrah is the innate, divine nature within you which is like a light in the darkness. Brother Khalil Jafar beautifully reminds us about the struggle to overcome ones tabiah (animal nature) and to transcend to a higher realm of existence. Allah is with you. Be with Allah… #ButterflyWithin #IslamicWisdom #Islam #IslamicThought #God #Allah #Quran #Ahlulbayt

Description:

The “Freeing the Butterfly within” peaks at this fundamental juncture, where Br. Khalil Jafar expands on the idea of a Tabi’ah-orientated leader as opposed to the Fitrah-orientated leader. The former will wish to appease the masses who, in turn, will support his rule. While in the case of the latter, the people will be lead towards righteousness, truth and wisdom. At this time, one must stop and ask himself: am I being lead by a Husayni system? …or am I being lead by a Yazidi one? #ButterflyWithin #Muharram2020 #YaHusayn #ImamHusayn
