Shadowlight (now there's a poetic term for the hangers on around here...beats dross any old day!)
Have you not seen how your Lord lengthens out the shadow? He could have kept it motionless had He liked. Then We made the sun a proof for it. -The Glorious Quran, 25:45 (Harun Yahya on Teleology)
So...let's get this straight. For quite some time we have been going around assuming that we have shadows because of the sun or any given light.
''This is embarrassing,'' said Claude Canizares, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is researching the problem. ''Ninety percent of the universe is dark and cannot be seen!''
But do we have shadows in the absolute dark?
The Quran begs to differ on this assumption of shadow causality. Hmm. How on earth did the last prophet know about this! I wonder....not. I do wonder at how people are ignorant of these profound things and keep insisting on beating us up merely for being muslims.
Yes. We do have shadows in the absolute (and I mean absolute) dark. How about that! Not only that, ahem, the dark matter moves solid objects like rivers. Imagine my surprise!
[2.164] Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.
Go here for more truth about the dark. And go here to be dazzled. Go here to look at a little blurb regarding that deuteronomy* er..heavy water thingy and contemplate how timely it is in respect to the thermohaline energy pump at the bottom of the oceans...ah...dazzled and then some.But I guess you have to READ a little bit to get to the dazzled part. And have a little science background...just a smidge will do. Honest.
*Used for oppression and nuclear weapons particularly by Israel who keeps it secret. Er...who would suspect a little ice eh?

i like the notion that our shadow remains in the absence of light.
I have a question about this tho:
"For those who refused to side with any party, Imam Ali or his enemies, Imam Ali said: They have forsaken religion and are of no use to infidelity also. - Ali ibn Abi Taleb"
what if one chooses to side with all parties?
Thanks for your comment squib.
Well. Would you side with a party who is evil?
Come on now.
Perhaps you don't know what this refers to even if it is a universal sentiment...friend of a friend, your enemy is my enemy.
It pertains to a verse or two in the Quran.
Moses (Musa, SA) the prophet (you know the one who led the Hebrews out of Egypt)....actually killed a man prior to receiving the call to duty by Allah. In that episode, he thought he was killing a bad guy but it turned out he was only killing the enemy of another bad guy.
It does however have universal implications both inside of Islam (Shia/Sunni) and outside (any old Tom, Dick and Harry).
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Peace
Let me go on a bit further though because I like to 'splain.
One of the things that has prolonged this war (and now I can see it as an inevitable thing now but it is un-muslim like to want things to get real you know) is the notion that people who opposed this war didn't oppose it due to their undying love for the muslims.
They didn't support it because of their undying hatred of religion and i.e. religious fanatics like Dubya.
I on the other hand supported this war and hoped America would put it together so the war would be limited, Saddam would be ousted (he needed to be or at least it seemed so then..this is an unknown variable anymore) and everyone could go back to business as normal.
You see...our "problem" i.e. the Shia/Sunni one is not like any other problem. That is because of Islam and because it is the superior religion (Allah says so in black and white in the Quran). Allah left so many proofs in there but cautioned that still...many people would not be convinced until they er..might come face to face with the Creator. I assure you that is way, way too late to make ammends. Way too late.
We really do believe and beyond what any other "sect" of people believe and back it up with ACTION i.e. ritual to war(from the wayward Monotheistic Catholics (who became polytheistic by papal policy) to the rejectionist Jews who violated the Covenant (to not kill prophets and accept any prophet that Allah sent with proofs/miracles/the like) to the false prophet followers who I won't mention. Not in my best interest you know.
So...my hope was that the US could get it over with and leave us all alone to deal with the unending struggle against Zionism, internal Islamic corruption, etc.
But I guess Allah had other plans.
So I imagine the answer to your question is quite complex. I supported a bad guy (whom I knew to be not only bad but very bad....linked to the Hinkleys of Reagan assassination fame and as well, to the JFK murder). But I had good reason. And I didn't support the war before the invasion. I only supported it after (with reservations) and seems to me that not supporting it then has led to this catastrophe for the USA (not to mention the Iraqis and Arabs/Persians as a whole).
It never interfered however with my religion. I know where I stand on that one (as a Shia) and know that we are the successors. That much is for sure but it isn't instant success. Part of that success takes time and some of it takes not only time but death to reach the final achievement (as heaven is oft described in the Quran i.e. an achievement).
In the Quran...it is suggested a person not be like some of the famous Companions (people tend to assume some things about that especially the Sunnis regarding the three "rightly guided" Caliphs: Omar, Abu Bakr and Othman....that people not be like them and "lag behind". (Refers to a famous battle at Tabuk)
Ali ibn Abi Taleb (pbuh) never lagged behind and never failed in what he was assigned to do by the prophet (SA). Not once.
He is likened to Aaron (Moses brother, pbut) who also was charged with maintaining the integrity of the "flock" when Moses went up to the mount to get the 613 Hebrew Commandments. In that case...the "brother" failed and begged Moses to forgive him. Long story there...fascinating to boot. But I'll leave it at that.
Trust me..Islam is an intricate puzzle and the best puzzle a person can ever work on.
Peace
