Chapter Najm – Part 10
How can I benefit from revelation? How should I understand this universe? What are my responsibilities? Do I feel any responsibility towards my existence? Why am I here in this universe and what should I do? I utilize my freewill for either: I just happened to be as I am, I do not need to […]
