The Total Awareness

“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: they are the ones to attain felicity.” – (Quran, 3: 104)

“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).” - (Quran, 49: 13)

No matter who we are as part of a society, the ancestors knew that the only purpose in life both as an individual and as a society is to submit to the will of God by being righteous. This is the most important concept held by the ancestors be it politically, economically and socially. To them, it was not important that we are rich or poor or whatever we are as long as we are righteous that is to do good deeds and to avoid evil deeds. So everybody played the part in the flow of the society.

Particularly in the economics activities, The Inner Developments of individuals were major for individuals to have the knowledge in order to differentiate the differences between good and evil. Both Spiritual and Material knowledge were applied so individuals have The Total Awareness, aware of what is good and bad.

Yes, the ancestors had undergone and had faiths along the history. All those faiths were considered important as that’s the way to acquire The Spiritual Knowledge. Together with The Material Knowledge, that was the way to be Wise. Only The Wisest of them were selected as leaders. Leadership were considered important in monitoring the smooth flow of life.

Leaders made sure everybody had the awareness particularly on what were considered evils. Application of any evil deeds will cause the imbalances and failures in providing The Human Rights as granted by God. Greed was seen having the ability to create the imbalances and failures and so were hatred, delusions among so many evil deeds.

Through The Inner Developments with The Spiritual and Material Knowledge that created The Total Awareness, the ancestors had achieve a Great Civilization where everybody recognized own responsibility both to the individuals and the societies and tasted the True Happiness in TRUE FREEDOM.
