Capacity is known as the ability/the power
of a person for understanding; it is the degree of perception
that a person has. However, in today’s world a lot of the
humans (in spite of the fact that they have been created with
this most excellent attribute in the universe) are not choosing
to live with their own traits and attributes such as these; but
instead they prefer to live with temporary/on the surface
personality traits which are forced and imposed upon them from
outside.
At this point, it is
ridicilous to think that the individuals who think of themselves
as important people should have more capacity than others.
The social obligations,
the fear of being alone, deep rooted habits, the use of force,
the cultural norms that are being forced upon the individual
and the weaknesses are the important factors which cover up the
capacity and prevent it from being utilised.
Our attitude even in a
very simple event shows clearly the extent of the the above
mentioned condition.
For example, some
people, when you do something to them which is against their
ego react in such a way that you become extremely startled.
In the Chapter of Al
–Baqarah/The Cow, the Koran-al Karim has considered this
concept together with the concept that the human being is the
caliph and has asked us to evalute this in the same manner.
In the said chapter the
angels reacted to Allah and said ‘’Anyone who will shed
blood cannot be a caliph’’; then Allah answered ‘’if
you are true to what you say, then inform me about the
names of those’’ pointing out the names that he had taught
Adam.
Upon this statement of
Allah the angels became aware of their capacity and they were
full of regret because of their reaction, so they said
‘’Oh Lord, be glorified, we cannot know anything other than
what you have taught us.’’
Another good example
which explains about the capacity is emphasized in the 286th
verse of the same chapter and it says ‘’Allah makes proposals
to an individual only within the limits of his power’’.
As can be seen clearly
the capacity is a very important factor. It seems that ordinary
people –unfortunately most of us are within this category- have
difficulty in solving even a very simple subject as they are not
aware of the realities, so how can they know Allah.
Here, the important
factor is the accuracy in the evaluations and this is possible
only if the individual sets himself free from the limitations
of his innate composition. At this point I have to underline a
subject which is important:-
The beings made up of
fire!
Yes, we know that this
path is closed to those beings, namely the jinn(s), because the
composition of the names which have formed them is not at a
level so as to let them push their limits, go beyond those
limits and to know their origin and their truth.
The knowledge that the
human being can acquire about himself is depends directly on the
potential power.
We should not forget
that the Koran-Al Karim informs us that the humans will not be
able to manifest their capacities unless they prefer their true
selves to their ego(s), unless they change the difficult
conditions.
I am thinking that to
insist on advancement with all the misperceptions is
meaningless.
