Religion without Righteousness is pointless exercise. But what do we mean by Righteousness, and what do we mean by Religion? For me, Righteousness means that there is a prescribed way that I am supposed to be (a right way), and a prescribed way that my life is supposed to unfold. I also recognise that I can deviate from this right way. In other words I can miss road. For me therefore, Religion is a practice whereby I am brought back to Righteousness. In other words, I miss road but I come find road again. To the extent that my religious practice will help me to regain my true path it is a worthwhile exercise. If however I am practicing religion and after many years I have still not come back to Righteousness then all those years of practicing religion are wasted years. Righteousness is articulated variously in different parts of the world. I've already written about Arabic Fitra in another thread: Here:wirinet: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=335826.msg4713355#msg4713355 The same goes for any religion that you practice. It's value depends on how well it brings you to your true innate nature. |
