Ar-Rashid

Description:

The believer is aware of Allah as the righteous teacher, the guide to the right path. This is the way of salvation, leading to bliss and prosperity for the believer who follows it. Man has to choose to follow this way, he is not forced. First he is aware and conscious of what is being taught, then he uses the intelligence he has been given to discipline and educate his ego, then he learns the divine laws and orders his material existence in accordance with them. The student sees the order within and outside himself, sees the will, power, generosity and love of the teacher and learns to love Him. He lives to do as He says, loves to work for His pleasure and becomes righteous.

Context:

A mode of mystical awareness in the Sufi tradition associated with the ninety-eighth of the ninety-nine names of Allah.<

Broader:

Ninety-nine names of Allah

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.
