The
Map
Room

Well, here we are again, back at a Thruway for the Map Room,

but this time we're at the start of Level 3.

And by now we know why we keep coming back for more.

Because as we get older we change,

and our lives change,

and the Map Room is where we come

to understand the meaning of our lives.

So as we get older, and hopefully wiser,

we get to understand that knowledge never ends.

No matter how much we know, there is always more to learn

in every direction that we look.

But the Map Room is about just one kind of understanding,

about things that can't be seen directly,

touched or measured.

The Map Room

is about truths that are beyond this physical world that we live in,

truths that lie beneath,

behind, between and beyond

the worlds that we live in,

invisible but making sense of it all.

And because they are not physical in the same way that we are,

we can't know them with our physical senses,

but that doesn't mean that they aren't true.

And just because something isn't physical doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense.

We don't have to be able to see or touch things to believe in them

if they make sense in and of the world around us.

And this kind of belief,

that doesn't demand physical proof

is known as faith.

And the things in which we have faith

may not be known by our physical senses,

yet we can make sense of them

with our understanding,

and we can sense them in our spiritual heart.

Can we understand God in human terms?

Can we compare ourselves to God?

What signs in the creation point towards God?

How are the angels involved in our lives?

What do we know about the Jinn?

Has evil always been a part of human lives?

Did other Messengers have Books like the Qur'an?

What makes the Qur'an different? How is Muhammad different from other Messengers?

What happens after we die?

What do we mean by Heaven and Hell?

How close to us is Allah?

What leaves us open to Shaitan's temptations?
