    The main objective of these talks (and therefore the scripts of these talks), is to stimulate thinking.

    Sensible, rational and logical thinking. So, my message, think, think & think!

    Be sensible, be rational and be logical.

    2 070 The TWO Paths!

    Please Note

    1. I have had the great privilege, (since Aug 2010), of presenting talks on the weekly Radio ProgramCulture of Islam [Every Friday 8 to 8.30 pm, Radio Sri Lanka - FM 97.4]

    2. Since these are Radio Talks, I refer to, or address the audience as listeners3. I am well aware that the audience to these talks would consist of people belonging to a variety offaiths. So as to make people of all faiths feel included, I very often use words and names that are

    common to all religions.

    4. For these reasons, I use the name GOD, as well as Abraham, Moses, Jesus etc as well as thenames Allah, Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam), Moosa (Alaihis Salaam), Easa (Alaihis Salaam) etc

    5. Muslims by habit usually say Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam, when the name of Prophet Muhammadis mentioned, and Alaihis Salaam' when the name of a Prophet is mentioned. However, in these

    series of talks I have reduced the use of these prayers & sayings to the bare minimum.

    6. Muslims, also by habit, use a number of Arabic prayers or sayings, such as Alhamdulillah, InshaAllah and so on. Again, I have reduced the use of these prayers or sayings to the bare minimum.

    7. Sometimes I have to write Arabic words in the English script.I have devised my own way of writing Arabic in English, as follows;th s DHL H Gh

    070 The TWO Paths!

    Dear Friends,

    I greet you all with Assalamu Alaikum!

    Alhamdulillah, my topic for todays talk is The two paths or the two ways.This is a very very very interesting topic, and there issoooooo much to learn!

    Maasha Allah!

    What are these two paths?

    Simply put, we could say that there are two ways in which we could live.

    One would give us eternal success and the other, ensures eternal perdition.

    Now, what are those ways or those paths?

    To add credence, I must mention that this is the theme of every great religion;

    If you live a life of good then you will enjoy eternal success, and if you lead a life of evil, thenyou are doomed to eternal punishment

    Now, again, what do we meanby good and what do we mean by evil?

    What do we mean by the path to goodand what do we mean by the path to evil?

    To get an introduction to this concept of the two paths, the Surah Fathiha or the 1st Surah or

    Chapter of the Holy Quran, which is a very meaningful prayer, gives us this description.

    The whole Surah consists of just 7 Aayaths

    Aayaths means Signs and refers to the Signs of Allah. Since the Holy Quran is in poetry form

    Some English translators have referred to these Aayaths as Verses.

    The correct translation of the word Aayath would be signs and refers to the Signs of Allah.

    So returning to the Surah Faathiha, the whole Surah consists of just 7 Aayaths.

    The 1st 3 Aayaths describe God or Allah Taaalah

    The next Aayath (the 4th) describe our relationship with Him.

    The last 3 Aayaths are our fervent prayer to Him, actually the 5 th is the specific prayer, the 6th and

    7th Aayaths describe or elaborate the parameters of the prayer - what we want and what we do not

    want.

    Let us see the Aayaths 2 to 4, and how God or Allah Taaalah is described.

    (1:2) All praise is due to Allah the Rabb of

    all the Worlds. (1:3) (He is) The Most Benevolent The

    Most Merciful (1:4) the Master of the Day of Requital.

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    4/19

    4 070 The TWO Paths!

    Let me read it Aayath by Aayath;

    AlhamdhuliLLaaHi Rabbil Aalameen

    All praise is due to Allah the Rabb of all the Worlds.

    So He is the planner, the designer, the creator, the manager, the sustainer etc of all the Worlds

    the physical World we know about, the many worlds we do not know about, the worlds in the past

    and the worlds in the futureHe is the Rabb of all of them.

    ArRahmaan nir Raheem

    (He is) The Most Benevolent The Most Merciful

    Maaliki Yauwmidhdheen

    His dominant attribute on the Day of Judgment would be that of being MaalikThe Sovereign or

    the King

    Now, our relationship with Himwhich is beautifully described in the 4th Aayath

    (1:5) You alone do we worship, and from

    You alone do we seek help. Eeyaaka Naghbudhu wa Eeyaaka nastagheen

    Thee do we worship and thy aid do we seek

    Now, we get on to what I call our most fervent prayer, our biggest need

    (1:6) Guide us on the straight path. IHdhinaSWiraathal Mustaqeem

    Guide us on the straight path

    Now, what is this path?

    Details of this path are elaborated in the last two Aayaths;

    (1:7) the path of those on whom You

    have bestowed Your Grace,

    not of those who have incurred Yourwrath, nor of those who have gone astray. SWiraaTHallazeena anghamtha ghalaiHim

    The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,

    GHaiyril MaghDHLoobi ghalaiHim walaDHzaaleen

    not of those who have incurred Your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.

    Now a huge pointer is provided for us in this beautiful prayer, where we pray;

    The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,

    not of those who have incurred Your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    5/19

    5 070 The TWO Paths!

    So we have to follow this path.

    But then how do we distinguish or how do we judge as to who are the anghamtha ghalaiHimor

    those on whom He has bestowed His grace, and the MaghDHLoobi ghalaiHim walaDHzaaleen

    or those who have incurred His wrath, and those who have gone astray?

    The best way or the most sensible way to do this would be to look at the lives of the Prophets

    those who have been rightly guided. The example is not just in the life of Prophet Muhammad

    (Sal) but even the lives of Prophet Noah or NuH (AS), Prophet Abraham or Ibrahim (AS), or

    Prophet Moses or Moosa (AS) or Jesus Christ whom we Muslims reverently refer to as Easa (AS).

    We may even consider the life of Lord Buddha.

    That has been the objective of this series of 8 talks culminating with todays topic The Two

    Paths

    Now, when we go through the material that I have spoken on in the last 7 talks and then study the

    lives of these righteous personages, a sort of a theme or we may even call it a life style emerges.

    What is that message?

    God has placed us in a well equipped Earth, with miraculous systems and processes catering toour every need. God has given us a very special position on this Earth.

    God has equipped us with special tools, the noblest of them being our brains or our mindsthe

    tools that processes our seeing; our hearing our thinking, and then God has sent us Prophets and a

    Holy Book through which we must seek guidance.

    So there are two types of lives we can lead.

    The first would be like the lives of the Prophets, they submitted to the will of God or the will of

    Allah.

    The second would be life where we are busy where we are engrossed trying to fulfill our desires.

    The first path is where we try to see how we could submit to the will of God or the will of Allah

    Taaalah. For this to happen we should become aware of what we refer to the will of God or the

    will of Allah.

    A good start would be to just submit to the condition that God has brought upon ushow?

    Just surrender!

    What could we mean by just surrender?

    The best illustration of what I mean by just surrendering would be the case of a Prisoner Of War

    (POW).

    Imagine two armies at war. Eventually the survivors of one side surrender. We know what that

    means. A soldier who had been planning, scheming, giving commands, obeying commands,

    fighting vigorously, running around and using all means and resources within his ambit, to fight

    his enemy, the other armyhe is very active.

    And then he surrenders.

    6/19

    6 070 The TWO Paths!

    He becomes very meek; he has to completely submit to the dictates of his captors.

    His whole lifestyle and schedules change.

    He has to wear the clothes they give him.

    He has to carry the identity they give him.

    He has to only eat meals that they give at the time they give.

    He is unable to do anything as he pleases.

    Even his rest, accommodation and all activity are subject to the conditions meted out to him by

    his captors.

    He is a prisoner.

    He has to submit.

    So, The First Path would be that of submitting to the will of Allah, and to learn the instructions

    or the commands of Allah Taaalah, we would have to read the Holy Quran and spend time

    meditating on these instructions on these Signs of Allah, trying to work out what Allah Taaalah is

    pointing out to us. We can be sure that Allah Taaalah will guide such a person.

    These are the first instructions that Allah Taaalah points out to us in the first few Aaya ths of

    Surah Baqarah, the Surah immediately after Surah Fathiha or the opening Surah.

    The Second Path is what I call the path of desires. It is the path where we want to do good, we

    want to be the source of good, the embodiment of good. We do realize that God or Allah is Rabb,

    He is Benevolent and He is the provider of everything, even the conditions, so our every effort is

    to manipulate God, to get Him to submit to our will.

    Yes, all our efforts are toget God to submit to our will.

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    7/19

    7 070 The TWO Paths!

    We look around and see conditions, we see the signs of God, we recognize the signs of God, We

    have desires, we build hopes on these desires, and we spend our whole lives learning about the

    signs of God, the systems and the processes that He has installed, and then the biggest tragedy, we

    try to exploit these Signs of God so that we can achieve our selfish, egocentric objectives.

    In the Holy Quran Allah Taaalah refers to these processes of exploiting His signs as rejecting and

    / or falsifying His signs.

    What are our objectives?

    We want to do good.

    We want more than to be just good

    We want to be the source of good, the embodiment of good

    So we think that to do good all conditions must be in our favor, we must create, own and build

    wealth, we must use our God given talents to become rich and powerful.

    In this way we can do good, we can be the source of all good.

    In this blind rush, we fool ourselves.

    As our schemes grow we also find that we have to compromise on morals and ethics.

    But then we tell ourselves that we have to work in what we call grey areas so that greater good

    can be done to the greater number.

    And what do we mean by greater good and greater numberwe mean me and my family!

    We slowly but surely get ourselves sucked into a world where we have to consistently find

    growing sums of money just to service our growing empire.

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    8/19

    8 070 The TWO Paths!

    Our morals, our ethics, our values, our sense of honesty and fairplay have to undergo vast

    transformation and we employ dubious double standardsone strict disciplinarian type set of rule

    for others and a favorable immoral self enriching one for myself and my family.

    And we really think that we are doing good, that God is pleased with us, that we are improving

    the World, and the massive developments that we leave behind as evidence of our lives as

    achievers, should get us the favor of Allah Taaalah and he will reward us with the choicest of

    rewardsthatmy dear friends is the second path. The path of delusion!

    Our whole lives is spent on serving this artificial world, notjust serving this artificial world, if we

    were to observe the dedication and the intensity with which we are committed to this artificial

    world we would rightly describe our involvement as devoted worship

    It is this world to which we turn to fulfill all our needs, wants, ambitions and desires. Our houses,

    our vehicles, our status, our childrens education, our health, ourinfluence, our power, the way

    the world praises and appreciates us is all credited to this false virtual world that we have built.

    We have dual emotions, on one hand we rejoice in our achievements, but then on the other hand,

    deep inside we know that we are leading a false life. We know it, we feel it, we hate it, but we justdo not know how to get out of it, we just do not have the courage to honestly face our telling

    conscience, and seek refuge and to surrender to the safe, peaceful zones of submitting ourselves

    to the will of God, to the will of Allah Taaalah.

    To get an idea of this life of submission to the will of God, we can look at the examples of the

    lives of all the Prophets as well as the leaders of all great religions. All Prophets, all leaders of

    great religions have lived a life of abstinence and meditation even before they were appointed as

    Prophets. Jesus Christ, whom we Muslims reverently refer to as Easa (AS) lived a life of

    abstinence from his birth, and his Mother, The Virgin Mary, whom we Muslims most reverently

    refer to as Mariyam (AS) led her life in seclusion, meditation and in the worship of God.

    As Muslims we rejoice in the fact that to assist and to guide us in our contemplation and

    meditation we have with us the Holy Book viz. the Holy Quran. We know that the Holy Quran

    was revealed to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sal) contains the words of Allah Taaalah.

    1. Objectives

    Now let us see how the Holy Quran describes some of the objectives of creation;

    01 - (S Al Muminoon)

    01

    Afahasibthum Annamaa Khalaqnaa kum

    ghabaSsaa

    So did you think that We created you for

    nothing,

    Wa Annakum Ilainaa Laa thurjaghoon and that you will not be brought back to Us?

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    9/19

    9 070 The TWO Paths!

    02 - (Ad Dhaariyaath)

    02

    Wa Maa Khalaqthul Jinna Wa Insa I did not create the Jinns and the human

    beings

    Illaa Li yaghbudhoon except for (the purpose) that they shouldworship Me.

    An objective of the Holy Quran Surah Saad, Allah Taaalah advises us as follows;

    Li Yadhdhabbaru Aayaathihi They meditate on its Aayath

    Wa Li Yathazakkara Ulul Albaab And men of understanding would do Zikr

    So to become the Oolul albaab or the men of understanding or wise men, we should do zikr of the

    Aayaths in the Holy Quran.

    What is Zikr? It is commonly translated as remembrance, advice, admonition etc

    What it actually conveys is a fascinating process. The process of using our senses, the eyes, the

    ears and our mind, seeing the world, seeing all the creatures in the world especially observing the

    behavior of man, reasoning out our behavior in this backdrop and then reading the Aayaths of the

    Holy Quran and try to work out what we see, with what the Aayaths point out to us.

    Insha Allah we would be amazed at the wisdom in the Holy Quran.

    That process of observing the world, thinking about it, observing people, thinking about them,

    reading the Holy Quran and trying to reconcile what we observe with the Aayaths in the Holy

    Quran is only the process which we refer to as Zikr. This reconciliation process requires seeking,

    reading, discussing, advising, meditating it is a huge thought enhancing process.

    2. Zikr & Aayaths

    Let us see how Allah Taaalah advises us about these different processes that constitute the Zikr

    2 - 1. Firstly observing the World, the creation and thinking about them

    [002:022] It is He Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent

    down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith Fruits for your sustenance; then set not

    up parallels unto Allah when ye know (the truth).

    The parallels would indicate the artificial world we are building, constantly attending to it and

    constantly turning to it for all our needs.

    [003:190] Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and

    day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,-

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    10/19

    10 070 The TWO Paths!

    [003:191] these are the Men who do Zikr, whilst standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides,

    and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our

    Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the

    penalty of the Fire.

    (S Al Anaam)

    2 - 2. Zikr as in Reading the Aayaths or the Signs in the Holy Quran (S al Insaan)

    (S Qaf)

    (003:103)

    2- 3. (Al Ala) Zikr as an advice and an admonition

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    11/19

    11 070 The TWO Paths!

    2 - 4.(S Al Ahzaab) Encouragement to do Zikr profusely

    Abc (S Al Muzammil)

    2 - 5. Virtues of doing Zikr (S Al ahzaab)

    (S Saad)

    2 - 6. About those who falsify or reject the Aayaths of Allahthus do not engage in the process

    of Zikr

    (S Al Anaam)

    Now we look at a few of the Aayaath of the Holy Quran that describe those who led a life trying

    to fulfill their desires.

    3. The World of Desires Vs The World of Sabr

    31 Competition for wealth S TakkaSsur

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    12/19

    12 070 The TWO Paths!

    3 -2 (S al Muminoon) Is wealth & children good? S 23

    33 (S Al Muminoon) The affluent are guilty Their response to Aayath and to the Quran

    34 (S Kahf) Wealth and children

    35 (S Al Araaf) Let us see what the Chiefs (wealthy & influential) told Prophet Shuaib (AS)

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    13/19

    13 070 The TWO Paths!

    36 (S Tauba)

    3 - 7

    38

    Now those who are building this false world, and turning to it for all their needs and desires, they

    say, this is the means, Allah gives us through some meansthis is the means, this is the asbaab,

    this is the subub!

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    14/19

    14 070 The TWO Paths!

    Is this not what all of us do?

    Now an Aayath where Allah Taaalah is advising is motivating those who keep away from the

    activities of this delusive false world, Allah Taaalah tells us;

    4. What People told the Prophets

    Now when the Prophets worked on their mission of explaining to people that they should turn

    their attention to recognizing the attributes of Allah Taaalah, and to refrain from being engrossed

    in attending to their artificial world from which they expected to fulfill all their needs and desires,

    some people accepted their teachings many others rejected them.

    I have collected a few of these Aayaths that describe how the rejecters and the falsifiers of the

    Signs of Allah Taaalah responded to the Prophets; Let us listen to what Allah tells us about what

    people told the Prophets.

    (Surah Al Hijr)

    And they sayOh you to whom the Zikr hasbeen revealed, you are surely insane

    Wa Qaaloo, Yaa AiyyuHallazee NuzzilaghalaiHizz Zikru, Inaaka la Majnoon

    26:185 (S Ash Shuara)

    They said, You are but one of the bewitched

    men.

    Qaala Innamaa Antha Minal Musahhareen

    27:68 (S An Naml)

    This is nothing but tales of the ancients Haazaa illaa AsaaTHeerul Awwaleen

    What they could mean is that if they followed this advice they would have to live like the

    primitive peoplethe people of the Stone Ages, the Veddhas, the Aboriginies.

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    15/19

    15 070 The TWO Paths!

    7:28 (S Al Araaf)

    They say We have found our Fathers doing it! Qaaloo wajadhna ghalaiHaa Aabaaanaa

    5. The AAA (Anghamtha ghalaiHim) and the MAWDHL (Maghdhloobi ghalaiHim waDHLallalleen)

    Now we saw on Surah Fathiha how Allah Taaalah describes the 2 paths he describes on as the

    path of the Anghamtha ghalaiHim and the other as the path of the Maghdhloobi ghalaiHim.

    Who are these AAA? (Anghamtha ghalaiHim)

    In the Holy Quran Allah Taaalah describes them with many names and then in many instances

    defines these names as well as gives us clues to the quality of these names.

    What are the names that describe the AAA? (Anghamtha ghalaiHim)

    1 Anghamtha AlaiHim

    2 MutthaQeen The God-Fearing

    3 MuHthadhoon (Hudhan minRabbiHim) Those who are rightly guided

    4 Muflihoon The Successful

    5 Mu'minoon / Mu'mineen / Mu'minaath The Believers

    6 Muhsineen Those who do good deeds

    7 SidhdheeQeen The truthful

    8 Shuhadhaa The martyrs

    9 SWaaliheen The Righteous

    10 SWaabireen The Patient / Steadfast

    11 Munzareen Those who warn12 Muslim Those who submit to the will of

    13 Qaanitheen The devoted

    14 SWaabireen The patient

    15 Khaashi'een The humble

    16 Saa'imeen Those who fast

    17 Zaakireen Those who do Zikr

    18 Mukhbitheen The humble minded

    19 Faaizoon The Victorious

    20 Mukhlaseen Those who are sincere

    21 Oolul Albaab Men of Understanding

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    16/19

    16 070 The TWO Paths!

    Then we have the Maghdhloobi ghalaiHimwhat are their names?

    1 Ghaiyr Maghdhloob wa DHLallaalleen

    2 Dhlaalimoon The Transgressors

    3 Kaafir The Kaafir

    4 FaasiQoon The Rebels

    5 Mufsidhhoon The mischief makers

    6 Munafiq The Hypocrites7 Khaasiroon The losers

    8 Kaazib The Liars or the falsifiers

    9 Jaahileen The ignorant

    10 Mughthadheen

    11 Mujrimeen The sinners

    12 MushrikeenThose who associate partners with

    God

    6. The 2 Paths

    So the two paths now become clearer.

    The first is the path where we read the Aayaths of Allah in the Holy Quran, think about them,

    process them in our minds, discuss these signs with learned people, take advice and give advice

    this process is called Zikr.

    The second path is where we look around, see the favors in this world and then exploit these

    favors to build our artificial world, creating wealth, creating powercreating a wicked world

    trying to fulfill all our desires. These people falsify or reject the Aayaths or the Signs of Allah.

    Allah Taaalah calls this world the THaaghooth and those that follow it the Hizbus Shaithaan orthe Party of Shaithaan

    (58:19) The ShaiTn (Satan) has prevailed upon them; so he has made them neglect the Zikr of

    Allah. They are the Hizhus Shaithaan (party of ShaiTn). Be assured that it is the Hizbus

    Shaithaan that are the losers.

    (2:257) Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness

    into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their friends are the THaghooth. They bring them out

    from the light into the depths of darkness. Those are people of the Fire. There they will remain

    forever.

    (39:17) And those who abstain from worshipping the Tght and turn fervently to Allah, for them

    there is good news. So, give the good news to My servants

    So dear friends, it is very clear which path we should follow; it appears difficult even unthinkable,

    but then Allah Taaalah ensures us that He would guide us, He would look after us, and He would

    reward us most handsomely!

    I end todays talk by quoting to you this very expressive Aayath in the Holy Quran, from the

    Surah Al Ahqaaf.

  • 7/28/2019 070 The TWO Paths

    17/19

    17 070 The TWO Paths!

    It is up to us to take on courage and change our lives so that we would belong to the Anghamtha

    ghalaiHim!

    May Allah Taaalah guide us all and accept us all!

    I sincerely pray and hope that all of you benefit from these talks as much as I have benefitted

    from doing research from the Quran and then preparing and presenting these talks to you.

    May Allah Taaalah guide us all and accept us all.

    Jazza Kalla Khairan.
