The Power of the Halal Market
Some years ago, I was performing the Hajj. One day, accompanied by the Maliki faqih Mawlana Muhammad Wazzani, (rahimahu’llah), I walked from the house where we were staying, to pray dhur in the Masjid al-Haram. We arrived at the mosque slightly late, and the salat had just finished. As we got to the door of the Haram, the people began to pour out, and we were unable to enter. A massive flood of people poured out through the door, and we could not even move; we just had to wait. Like someone standing on a rock in the middle of a river, with the water rushing past on all sides, we stood, trapped, just watching the people. For what felt like half an hour, but may have been less, we just watched. Men, women, young and old, black, white, yellow, red, every size shape and colour of mankind poured past us, some smiling, some weeping. We could not move; and it was very clear to me then that the Muslims are indeed a mighty force, an unstoppable power. And what was it that made them so strong? Everyone there, on the Hajj, was there just for the pleasure of Allah, (subhanahu wa ta’ala). They had incurred expense, endured hardship and discomfort in order to fulfil their contract with Allah. And that was where the great strength lay. In their obedience, there lay a tremendous power.

The interconnectedness of things in creation
Gary Zukav stated in his book ‘The Dancing Wu Li Masters’ that the starting point of classical science is the assumption that physical reality is constituted of separate parts. Classical science has concerned itself with how these separate parts are related ever since its beginnings. The thought process of classical science therefore starts with a mental attitude which initially perceives the physical world as fragmented and different experiences as logically unrelated. Classical science strives to find the relationships between these pre-existing “separate parts”. Quantum mechanics, however, is based upon the opposite epistemological assumption, which means that there are profound differences between Newtonian mechanics and quantum theory. It is interesting to note that this view of the universe as an unbroken whole is similar, if not identical, to a concept found in Sufism – rububiyya.

Science = Religion
Science does not equal religion and neither is religion, science. In truth, religion in itself awakens scientific enquiries. Why and how? Because the nature of human being is to enquire its being, its essence, its purpose, and hence scientific enquiries arise to satisfy this quest for the truth of man’s existence. And it is also the nature of man to investigate the nature and life itself as demanded by religion; more specifically Islam encourages the rediscovery of the interconnectivity between the created and the Creator, and to understand one's raison d'être (rational grounds for existence) in relation to God's grand plan. Thus religion is vital in awakening and guiding one's consciousness in questioning the existence through observation, in other words – through the art of observation, which is the basis of science.
