Why do you follow your religion?
It is very natural that one remains steadfast on whatever religion one was born in, but then remains open for the Truth, wherever it comes from and whenever it comes, with reasons and arguments, please, right?
(Clue:-
1:5 Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.)
1:6 Guide us in the right path —
1:7 The path of those on whom Thou hast
bestowed Thy blessings*, those who have
not incurred Thy displeasure**, and those who have
not gone astray.
The first chapter of the Exhortation (the all time most read religious) is the summary of the whole, one could get the detail of the three groups:
- the blessed by G-d
- those who incurred G-d's displeasure
- those gone astray from G-d's path/way
One may like to read the whole of the Exhortation from cover to cover; no harm, please; no compulsion however, right, please?
Regards
