◼️Fatima is Fatima ▪️Author: #Dr_Ali_Shariati #part_3 🔰#Shiism is nothing other than #Islam ‑ not that which they tell us: `Islam in addition, to other things'. #No! Shi'ism means #pure_Islam, Islam minus the Caliphate, pseudo Arabness and those who live…

🔰#Wisdom and #Love
Each religion, school of thought, movement or revolution is made up of two elements: #wisdom and
#love.One is #light and the other is #motion. One gives common sense and understanding, the other,
strength, enthusiasm and motion. In the words of .Alexis Carrel, 'Wisdom is like the lights of a car
which show the way. Love is like the motor which makes it move.' Each is nothing without the
other. A motor, without lights, is blind love, dangerous, tragic and infers death.
In a society, a movement of thought or a revolutionary school of thought, men of letters who are clear thinkers, aware and responsible, show, through their works, that there is a way to come to know a school of thought or a religion. They show that there is a way to give awareness to the people. The responsibility of the people, on the other hand, is to give their spirits and their strength to a movement. They are responsible for giving the starting push.
A movement is like a living body. It thinks with the brain of scholars and gives love through the hearts of its people. If faith, sincerity, love and sacrifice are at a minimum in a society, #people are #responsible. But where correct understanding of a school of thought is at a minimum, where vision, awareness, logical consciousness, deep familiarity with the goals of a school of thought are lacking, where the meaning, purpose and truths of a school of thought are missing, the #scholars are #responsible. Religion, in particular, needs both since religion is a type of lover’s consciousness or #love_of_consciousness.
In #religion,#knowledge and #feelings are not treated as separate entities because they are transformed into understanding and faith by means of common sense and the coming to know something.
