"Between the Halal and the Haram"

 

.Between the halal and the haram lies a world where white melts into black

Boundaries intersect and distinctions dissolve, leaving concepts weightless and visions 

.without compass

.We see the halal as if it were haram, and the haram as if it were halal

Things take on faces that are not their own, and meanings become so intertwined that it 

.is difficult to distinguish truth from illusion

This confusion is not just a theoretical idea it is a reality we live every day.

?How often have we felt that something right became wrong in the eyes of others

And how often did what we were forbidden from become desired or tempting, shaking 

?our convictions

.When boundaries blur, everything becomes relative, and every stance flexible

Holding onto the truth becomes difficult, while illusion becomes more tempting than 

.reality

When ignorance turns into knowledge, awareness becomes madness, and lies become 

truth, freedom transforms into a heavy burden on the soul, and prison becomes a refuge 

.for peace

.Freedom in this context is not merely a choice, but a heavy responsibility

When we do not know what is right and what is wrong, we become prisoners of the 

choices we invent for ourselves, building barriers of illusion and living in a prison of our 

.own making

.Freedom becomes a burden, and prison a temporary safety

.Through these lenses, every person sees the world from their own perspective

They interpret what they see according to their desires and fears, ignoring anything that 

.contradicts their view

, And although the truth is clear before them, they prefer to cover it with a narrow lens

.making truth like shadow and falsehood like light

Everyone sees the world as it suits them, even if it contradicts reality, even if it ignores 

.the meanings that stand motionless before them

.When boundaries blur, we become strangers within ourselves

We lose our way between what we know and what we want to see, between the mind

 .that seeks clarity and a desire that hides in illusion

.Between right that becomes wrong, and wrong that becomes right

We become prisoners of ambiguity, seeking safety in restrictions we chose or that were

imposed on us, finding freedom in the illusion we wrap ourselves in to avoid facing the 

.full truth

: Imagine a simple moment from your daily life

Being in an ordinary conversation, speaking spontaneously, telling the truth as you see it 

without much thought. Suddenly, you notice a look in others’ eyes a look implying that

 what you said should not be said, or that it is not the right time. Perhaps someone 

.interrupts you or tries to change the topic indirectly

In that moment, you realize something strange: everyone knows the truth, yet everyone 

.prefers to wrap it

? The question arises: why

With repeated experiences like this, you may find yourself doing the same softening the 

truth, circumventing it, or even avoiding it entirely. And strangely, you may not even

. know why you do it

? Why is the truth not spoken as it is

 ? Why must we circle around what is as clear as the sun

 ? And why do we treat what is evident as if it were a mirage or dense fog

.Sometimes, it is not hatred of the truth but fear of its impact

Fear of others’ reactions, misunderstanding, or turning an honest word into conflict or 

.tension. Thus, a person may lie a little or sometimes ignore what is right

: But a deeper question emerges

? Is this wrong, or is it simply self-protection

.At this point, the difference between what we see and what others see becomes clear

Each person views the truth from a different angle, through a lens shaped by their

. experiences, fears, and desires

Here, the boundaries between halal and haram become even more blurred, and truth

turns into something relative, differing depending on the lens through which we view

. the world

We find ourselves in a spiral of questions, wrestling with clear truths and the images 

society has built around them. We bear the burden of freedom we do not know how to 

use, while simultaneously seeking comfort in restrictions imposed by others… or by 

.ourselves

.Restrictions become a refuge, and freedom a vague or illusory feeling

: And the question that never ceases

? Do we see the truth as it truly is

, Or are we covering our eyes with lenses we made ourselves to see the world as we wish

? not as it is

.The path to clarity begins within, at the heart of each of us

,When we listen to the mind without falsification and to the conscience without distortion

 we reorder our inner boundaries, restoring halal to its proper place and haram to its 

.own

We become able to distinguish between what ought to be and what is real, free from

 confusion that kills the soul before the body, turning illusion into reality and reality into 

.illusion

Reconsidering our boundaries does not mean being harsh with ourselves it means being 

.honest with who we are and taking responsibility for our choices

It is an invitation to reflect: to see clearly, to perceive things as they are, far from 

.falsification, far from desires that cloud our vision

When we achieve this, we become truly free, freedom becomes a feeling rather than a 

burden, and prison becomes a conscious choice, not a refuge for fear

In the end, between halal and haram, and between freedom and prison, truth resides in 

the aware heart, the enlightened mind, and the soul that knows its path without distorted

.lenses

Thus, we are able to live in balance, seeing things as they truly are, distinguishing 

between what ought to be and what is real, free from any fog that obscures vision and

  .hides clarity
