Becoming Bani Adam: Exploring Twelver-Shii Discussions on Human Ancestry - Mizan Institute10. Conclusion and Further Considerations In this tenth and final episode, we will wrap up the discussion on human evolution and discuss further considerations to the subject. A few topics that will be touched on are questions with regards to consciousness which cannot be studied through empirical science as well as how the language of evolution can evoke a sense of godlessness. Finally, we will end with a discussion on the true purpose of human beings and how this discussion should not impact our faith and the important answers that Islam does give us.

Orden Sufí Halveti YerrahiLa Dimensión Terapéutica de la Música en el Sufismo - Jordi Delclós CasasEl Sufismo aparece en la civilización islámica a mediados del siglo II de la Hégira como un movimiento destinado a reavivar la esencia del mensaje profético: la purificación del alma exiliada para devolverla a su estado adánico. Diversas estaciones espirituales jalonan ese camino que se recorre con la ayuda del ḏikr (recuerdo de Dios), al que pronto se suma la búsqueda del éxtasis (wayd) en el samā‘, la audición mística de poesías.
