“I have already indicated to you the meaning of the word religion, as applied to Islam. The truth is that Islam is not a Church. It is a State conceived as a contractual organism long before Rousseau ever thought of such a thing, and animated by an ethical ideal which regards man not as an earth-rooted creature, defined by this or that portion of the earth, but as a spiritual being understood in terms of a social mechanism, and possessing rights and duties as a living factor in that mechanism.” MenLongStatesEarthSpiritualSocialTermChurchRightsDutyTruth IsCreaturesUnderstoodIdealsRegardIslamFactorsDefinedEthicalMechanismPortionsRootedOrganismsAnimatedPossessingSpiritual BeingsRights And Duties Author:Muhammad Iqbal
“My son, I do not say these are foals and those asses, these little monkeys and those great baboons, as you would have me do. As I told you from the first, I regard them as earth's heroes.

“There was a stately drama writ By the hand that peopled the earth and air, And set the stars in the infinite, And made night gorgeous and morning fair; And all that had sense to reason knew That bloody drama must be gone through. Some sat and watched how the action veered-- Waited, profited, trembled, cheered-- We saw not clearly nor understood, But yielding ourselves to the masterhand, Each in his part as best he could, We played it through as the author planned.” MadeWarReasonHandsActionEarthNightStarsMorningGoneSawsAirDramaUnderstoodFairsInfiniteSatBloodyGorgeous Author:Alan Seeger
