Essence of Islam

~ Irshad Soofi

One of the things about the ancients, even the idolaters,is that they had a deep sense of gratitude. The Greek tradition was filled with gratitude, with an awareness of how extraordinary the world was. If we just consider our eyes and the miracle of sight and the ability to see the world in all of these extraordinary colors… because of what modern people would call extraordinary coincidences. Whereas, we would say no, there is intention behind all of this. The fact that men are bi-pedal, that they walk on two

feet, unlike other animals. We’ve been dignified that we walk upright, that we are straight. The fact that we have been given hands. I mean, hands, just the fact that you have an opposable thumb and the ability to grasp with it, to write with it; the fact that we have language, unlike animals that we can record our history. Lions cannot record their history. We can record our history. We know where we came from and how we got here, which is also guidance for the future, if we were willing to look at it.

WITH DR R. SINGH

WHAT IS BOTOX?

1 Vertical lines between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose

2 Squint line (crow's feet) at the comers of the eyes

3 Horizontal lines on the forehead

4 Muscle bands visible on the neck, commonly known as " turkey neck"

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Side effects are generally minimal, temporary, and typically relate to the local injection. Soreness or mild bruising, while uncommon, may occur around the injection site. Makeup may be applied after the treatment, but care should be taken to avoid pressing of massaging the area for several hours. A temporary headache is not uncommon after injections in the forehead area, especially after the first treatment. In rare instances, patients may develop weakness of the neighbouring muscles leading to a temporary droopy brow or eyelid.

This skin Feature was rendered by Dr Raj Singh, educating the community on skin disease. He is available for a consultation at his, Scottsville branch in Pietermaritzburg or at his Durban branch.

All of these possible effects are mild, reversible, and self-limiting.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can be treated with injections of a highly diluted form of botolinum toxin which is superficial injected directly into the underarm skin, skin on the palms of the hands, or on the soles of the feet. This weaken the action of the skin's sweat glands which are responsible for excessive perspiration. A single treatment session can provide months of relief, and injections can be repeated when the excessive perspiration returns. Twitching muscles also can be treated by injecting botolinum toxin into the appropriate muscle. Botolinum toxin can make a great difference in a person's life. Its uses in combination with other madalities achieve results.

SPIRITUAL SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION

Article by Pastor Mike Gobel Associate Pastor of ‘The Campus Church’

“LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION”

Keynote Scripture: - Matthew 6: 9-13

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

The truth is, temptation is a relentless, perplexing, frustrating reality in every believer’s life it is the “norm;” none of us get an exemption from it. This “goliath” frequently overwhelms us and wracks havoc upon our souls; and try as we may, it often leaves us discouraged and defeated. Jesus tells us to pray to the Father that “He lead us not into temptation” (Matt 6:13). The thought that God would “lead us into temptation” is actually quite troubling to most believers why on earth would Jesus ask us to pray that God not lead us into temptation? This injunction has disturbed many Christians down through the ages, and caused them to wonder what Jesus really meant by these words? To answer this question, we need to first “define” what the Greek term peirasmos (translated “temptation”) means.

The MEANING of peirasmos This word is translated a number ways in England: temptation, test, trials, afflictions, tempting, testing, and trying to name but a few (Matt 4:1; 1 Cor. 10:13; James 1:13-14. The “context” determines how one translates the term. This word could be rendered a “sore trial” in the passage before us–peirasmos comes the word peira, which means to “ pierce through, as with a spear;” many Greek scholars use it in this way.

The word not only implies violent assaults from Satan, but also sorely afflictive circumstances, none of which we have, as yet, the grace or fortitude to sufficiently endure. Trials and afflictions “test” our virtue; hence, it is possible that this is the meaning here (see Luke 22:42).

Most scholars, however, translate this word “temptation,” because the context strongly points in that direction since Jesus is referring here to the evil one or evil. And we are always tempted to do evil, this phrase is translated: “Lead us not into temptation.” It should be noted that

“temptation accompanies every trial” - they are two sides of the same coin; with every trial there will be temptation. The psalmist David offered up a prayer similar to the one we find in the Lord’s Prayer: “O LORD, do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who do iniquity” (Ps 141:4). Since God obviously does not tempt man to do evil (James 1:13), this injunction then must be used in the sense of “permitting” - “Lord, do not suffer or permit us to be tempted in such a way that we sin” - “Do not lead us into a trial that will present such a temptation to us that we will not be able to resist it.”

It is a heartfelt appeal to God to protect us from sin. The good news is that God is able to “save us from the tempter’s power” if we will but call upon Him for help.

The SOURCE of temptation It should be noted here that we are not being taught to “pray against temptation;” it is often needed and useful; rather, we are to pray that it not have the power over us, or that it destroy us. There are a number of sources of temptation there are the temptations of God, who may be said to tempt, not by infusing anything that is sinful, or by soliciting to sin, but by enjoining things hard and disagreeable to our nature, as in the case of Abraham … or by afflicting us either in body or estate, as was the case with Job … or by permitting and letting loose the reins to Satan, and a man’s own corruptions … or by withdrawing his presence and withholding the communications of His grace, that we may be humbled; that our faith and patience may be tried; that we may see our weaknesses and need for Christ; and that we may be stirred to prayer and watchfulness.

In addition to the temptations of God, there are also three other sources of temptation: the temptation of Satan, which lie in soliciting to evil, suggesting hard and blasphemous thoughts of God, and filling our minds with doubts and fears … the temptations of the world, which arise from poverty and riches, from the men of the world, from the lusts of the flesh, and from both its frowns and its flatteries … and the temptations of man’s own heart. In the petition before us, the children of God are encouraged to pray that they be kept from every occasion and object of sinning; from those sins they are most inclined to; and that God would not leave them to Satan and their own corrupt hearts…but that in the issue besetting them they might experience God’s way of escape and be victorious. (1 Cor 10:13; Jude 1:24).

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE

15TH - 14TH DECEMBER 2022

Spreading the Light of the Vedas

For a full and detailed horoscope for 2022, email punditroshan@telkomsa.net

Aries

You could temporarily lose some motivation today, dear Aries, or you could feel doubt as you reassess specific paths or projects. Demotivation can have to do with your worldview, and you may need some refueling in the inspiration department. It might help to focus on letting go of negative feelings to make room for more joy in your life.

Taurus

You might struggle with divided attention and some uncertainty today, dear Taurus. There are better times to lock something down. Ambiguities are temporary and, in some ways, useful for helping you pace yourself. However, it’s best to avoid making impulsive moves based on your current mood or perceptions if they’re going off course.

Gemini

Today’s transits caution that it’s best to reserve judgment, dear Gemini, but it’s a good time to take note of areas where you’ve lost a bit of inspiration or steam. Consider that some things may need more time to unfold, and defining them is not only a lesson in futility now, but it also may be optional. It’s all too easy to have a veil over your eyes in some areas right now.

Cancer

With today’s transits, it’s better to approach things in a relaxed, creative way, where appropriate, dear Cancer, keeping in mind that things may not be clear-cut. You may feel out of wind, or motivation levels come up lacking temporarily. What inspired you in the past may not cut it or need some adjustments. Instead, you might seek a different source of inspiration.

Leo

While this can be a creative and dreamy day on the one hand, dear Leo, on the other, watch that your mood isn’t too dependent on the reactions of others or on circumstances going (or not going) your way. Today’s transits can have you questioning your current sources of inspiration or your allegiances. Keeping boundaries clear or knowing where you stand can be challenging.

Virgo

The Moon heads into your sign, bringing color to your emotions, dear Virgo. Still, today’s transits tend to blur boundaries. There can be evasiveness in a relationship, or you may be dealing with dashed hopes or deflation if a situation (or someone) isn’t pulling through for you as you’d hoped. While it’s temporary, it makes sense to pay these feelings a little attention since they can show you areas of your life requiring some refreshment.

Libra

Today’s transits can introduce some feelings of doubt, dear Libra, and they can slow you down. Just for now, it’s hard to make sense of the signals you’re receiving. You may be in a better place if you entertain daydreams and avoid expecting everything to run as scheduled. It’s a good idea to separate business and pleasure since lines blur easily today. Aim to keep things simple as a counter-strategy, as convoluted as things seem.

Scorpio

Today’s transits tend to spotlight areas of your life where you need either more reality or inspiration, dear Scorpio. With a solution feeling further out of reach than usual, problems can weigh on you temporarily. You may need some time to get to a clearer headspace.There can be temptations to jump into a new purchase or experience without considering the consequences, and it’s best to keep these tendencies at bay.

Sagittarius

Today’s transits remind you to slow down and consider your unmet needs before pushing forward, dear Sagittarius. Feeling deflated temporarily can seem a nuisance now, but it could also give you pause to rethink certain plans or goals in creative ways.

Capricorn

You prefer to keep things grounded and realistic, generally speaking, dear Capricorn, but today’s Sun-Neptune transit can blur the boundaries. It’s a better day for free-form and behindthe-scenes activities, but it’s hard to lock things down. Because perceptions are skewed, it may be better this way!

Aquarius

Today’s transits could play with your expectations and motivation levels, dear Aquarius, but it’s temporary and may even lead to a new source of inspiration. In the meantime, it’s best to avoid making any commitments that you might later regret, and instead, give yourself or a matter some time and space. If others are overstepping, you can begin feeling quite self-protective, or you may question someone’s feelings for you.

Pisces

Motivation levels are subject to ups and downs with today’s transits, dear Pisces. You may be searching for some inspiration, which can keep you in a restless state temporarily. While there can be a feeling of change and possibly excitement, there can be a lot of confusion to go along with it. The temptation to agree with others who see you un-clearly is strong but could lead to misrepresentation or problems later.
