Dear brother Ali
Salams:
Recently I had a chance to read through your interesting conversation with brother ****. We all benefit from such informative dialogue. May Allah reward you for these sincere deeds.
I have a few questions to attain higher conceptual clarity of this topic and your replies would be highly appreciated...
You said that " I can ask my doctor to cure me, but I cannot Dua him from my bedroom (for example raising my hands and calling out) that "Oh Doctor, hear me! appear and cure me!". Such would not be asking within domain of nature, but rather Dua.
Q 1. How if the patient calls doctor by phone ? Or any other device which leads to communication with doctor ? Are there ways to communicate with doctor different for different patients and doctors ? Does the limitation of patient also mean that doctor too has a limitation (which means if patient doesnt hear doctor, does it also mean that doctor doesnt hear patient too ?
Q2. How do you define nature ? Is it the same as created by God ? or it is defined by a human being ?
Respected brother you talked about cause and effect, My question is
Q3. Has human being completely understood cause-effect relationship of nature ? A simple example is before the discovery of ultraviolet and infra red rays, human beings thought that rays of light visible to human eyes were the only rays that existed in nature. And today we know that there are many type of EM rays all around us.
Q4. Can 'nature' be same for every human being ? For exnample can it be different for different human beings, as an example, Hazrat Suleman was able to hear an ant, which I cannot.
Brother you said " 1- Claiming proximity to a concept is not defining others, but defining oneself.
Q.5 Is every human being defineable or understandable by others ? For example, let us say has every muslim understood Prophet Muhammad (s) ?
Q6. What is your view on saying Salams in a ziyaret (for exmaple ziyarete warisa) ? Does it reach Imam Husain (a) according to your concept of nature or cause and effect ? Can this nature or cause or effect be different for other human beings ?
Duas
