OUG,

Yes i agree. It really is a valuable lesson in humility in terms of our ever so limited knowledge and inability to judge what is just and unjust other than through the guidance that God has sent us. We simply are not in a position to do so on our own.

take care and salaams

Yuyutsi, you wrote:

"Scripture, being finite in volume, cannot give answers to what the will of God is in each and every life situation. Surely, beginners on the path of religion should be given firm and clear instructions, but ultimately one needs to learn and develop their inner sensitivity to the will of God."

Exactly, and we develop our "inner sensitivity to the will of God" through a process of cleansing our hearts of ills such as envy, backbiting, showing off, greed, grudges....and replacing them will good habits: love, kindness, generosity, self-sacrifice, ... However, as you indicate, Revelation teaches us to change bad habits and replace them with good habits, but it does not tell us how. So we need a trustworthy and knowledgeable teacher who can guide us. In Islam this is the role of sufi shaykh

"The transformation of the heart is not easy: bad habits are formed over time and the nafs (the self or ego or "me") deceives one in subtle ways. Islamic revelation teaches Muslims to change habits but it does not tell how. Therefore, we consult those who know, the scholars. To keep the company of a teacher and follow his example are teachings of the sunnah. Islamic knowledge is transferred from person to person, not just from writings. The nature of knowledge is concerned with the state of being not just knowing." http://untotheone.com/public/1998-virginia-suhba/

Thank you Grateful,

I listened to the CD of Sheikh Nuh and found it true religion of the first class, fitting perfectly with the teachings of all religions.

It is a pity that Muslims are commonly thought to be seeking heaven for sensual (or even sexual) pleasures, but are those real Muslims who do? As I understand from the lectures, this must be a feature of the Wahhabi sect rather than the original meaning of Islam. All established religions have been corrupted in some ways, but those who seek God shall always be able to find the source of live waters.

May peace and the grace of Allah be upon you.
