Silouan,

I hope you find your peace.

Concern for you was the reason I joined the Sunniforum community.

See what you think of the following recent thread about Hinduism: http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47494.

The incoherence of the Hindu position is what struck me most.

The thread is long but might be worth your effort.

The whole thread seems to deal with aqidah, and how Allah relates to the world.

Aqidah is inadequate to explain Allah, no matter what religion, because the mind cannot behold God. The Quran has incoherent statement in it. The science of aqidah attempts to explain these incoherent statements but in reality fall short. The dominant position in the science of aqidah in regards to nature of Allah spoken of in the Quran is tafwid.

In the language of the Muslims, the science of aqidah is not the science one uses to attain the knowledge or understanding of Allah. FOr it cannot be attain by this science. The knowledge or understanding of ALlah can only be experienced ie through the science of tasawwaf.

It is written in the Quran that man was created to worship Allah. Not Fiqh, but rather, Ihsan, to worship Allah as though you see Him (ie because you see Him). That is why man was created to Behold God at all times.
