Theos-Talk Archives (December 2004 Message tt00184)

I have formed a group which is for those interested in a Western (Euro-Amercan) form of Islam which I gave a name called called "Interstitial-Islam" in order to try to bring us closer to "La ilaha il'Allah" rather than try to require Western Islam in mandatory prayers (Friday prayer would remain), strange clothes, hijabs,and other paraphernalia. This will be a spiritual, not physical movement, that will allow anyone to chant "La ilaha il'Allah" all day with no ourward conflict. Thus is like Japanese japa (or repetition of a Buddha's name, or even a Sufu dkir.) I hope that some will come to see what this new relogion is all about, and I would like you to advertise it for me. There will be no sects or outward fighting, nor any jihad except the "jihad of the nafs". Those who wish to keep their Easteern garb are welcome to, but more impotant is to, as Paul said about 'pray without ceasing.' we Muslims must remember our Beneficent and Merciful Lord. The object will to become One with the One Supreme Lord of the universe for His rewards, and not to become absorbred in Him. This would give a new light to the Qir'an, and bring us closer to the Prophet (PBUH).If any are interested, please send me your houghts.


"Salaam Alaikum,"
(Says) Al-Hallaj Kabir Ali
"La ilaha il'Allah!"
