Muslim reflections

Five years ago, a book titled "Ideas Outside the Box" was issued to me, and it belongs to the same genre of poetic writing that this book belongs to. And what drove me to adopt this style of writing was the desire to inform the reader about some stages of development that the thinker goes through, not only the development of ideas; but also the development of the holistic approach to examining various topics. And this poetic method represents a fundamental ladder in the development of the system of any active thinker who believes in embodying everything he believes in and manifesting everything he is convinced of, as the writer of these lines; and he despises the hollow academic traditions, and never wastes the value of other types of knowledge; the noblest and most divine, nor the various and diverse methods of acquiring it; such as intuitive knowledge, inspiration, and mystical knowledge (gnosis). This Quranic method not only makes human thought an open system that is constantly open; but also proves to every intelligent, overflowing mind that moves with an addiction to observation, and every self-blaming soul that moves with the hardship of remembrance, and every body exhausted by movement in obedience and compliance; that reflection and deduction in their proper place are more effective, wiser, and more mature than the frivolousness of "induction," and than the accumulation of "verified" information. Indeed, reflections can often become destructive and contradictory to "correct" information.
