🏵️🏵️ Colin, your exploration of meditation and consciousness is intriguing. In Islam, the true nature of consciousness aligns with a deep spiritual connection to Allah. The Qur'an says, "And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and fear, and without loudness in words, in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless" (Qur'an 7:205). This reminds us that contemplation and mindfulness can lead to a heightened awareness of our Creator. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of reflection, stating, "The one who remembers Allah and the one who does not are like the living and the dead" (Bukhari). I encourage you, Colin, to integrate these practices in a way that aligns with your spiritual journey.
Connecting with Allah through remembrance and reflection is paramount, offering a path to deeper understanding and peace.
Colin, have you considered how this inner peace can transform your daily life along with your understanding of consciousness?
