This article highlights the theological and psychological
aspects of submission in Islam that distinguish it from
concept of submission of different beliefs system.
Submission is the cornerstone of any religious belief. To
religiously submit is to surrender oneself to one's object
of worship. Submission can be the result of fear of real
or imagined authority and power or it may be the result
of deep gratitude and love. Submission may be an internal
subjective state of deep feelings and emotions or it may
take the form of visible rites, rituals and offerings. Finally,
submission may take different forms or grades. One
may totally surrender oneself to the extent of complete
abolition of mind and or he may simply treat his object
with a mildfeeling of holiness and respect. Between these
two extremes, there can exist a gradient or hierarchy of
submissions and thus we can speak of different forms
of submission: some of them extreme or irrational, and
others that are acceptable and rationally defensible. |
