Wujud: Being   Message List  
Reply Message #516 of 10284 |
Was it in Your Name or by Your Light or upon Your Being-ness, that
everything is


Wujud (Being)
http://www.untiredwithloving.org/wujud.html

In most Islamic, Sufi or Islamic philosophical texts you find 3
words:

1. Wujud or being
2. Nur or Light
3. Idrak or Prehension

When such ancient texts are translated from either Farsi or Arabic,
the Western reader misses the point of the arguments since the very
essence of the above 3 terminologies is lost. Even the native
readers of Farsi and Arabic today do not have a firm grasp of such
terminologies.

In this treatise attempt is made to give a language that can
elucidate the terminologies of the word Wujud (Being). The language
is that of a vector-form, as was rendered in the Alfred North
Whitehead's "Process and Reality".

INSHALLAH will add more on Nur and Idrak soon
