Hi thinking brains,
Here is another passage to reflect upon, excerpted from www.ahmedbaki.com/english/
"As you might have noticed, almost perfect robots have been manufactured in recent years. Several movies about robots such as “The Artificial Intelligence” and “I Robot” have just been showing recently, in which robots were designed to have human emotions as a hint.
On such a robot’s brain, the whole “Koran” text software could easily be installed and also it could be set up to perform a series of the ritual movements of daily prayers (salaat) regularly. Then tht robot could perfectly perform those body movements and beside recite the whole Koran in a few hours probably better than anyone of us. We can even fine-tune that robot to shed tears while reading certain passages in the Koran.
Well, then what is the difference of human from a robot at all?
Are we really aware of who we are?
Are we really aware that we are not robots?
The difference is that, human beings can also ‘think’ of and 'reflect upon' the meaning of what they recite, while fulfilling the same tasks as a robot. Besides, a human can comprehend and experience the effects of his thoughts as well as keep living on those thoughts’ special effects during the following time.
That reality is indicated through the sign that say: Fawaylun lilmusalleena. Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona.
“So woe to those performers that are neglectful of what the salaat is.” (107:4-5)
What is the reality of salaat that should be experienced, indeed?
