The Many Faces of Selfishness
In the Islamic tradition, selfishness (or egoism) is considered the “mother of all vices”. Vices such as greed, envy and arrogance are essentially different faces of selfishness. This means that one does not have to treat his many vices individually; if he treats his selfishness, all his moral imperfections will fade away! In this presentation, we will draw upon Rumi’s wisdom to learn about selfishness and its various forms / faces.

The Cure for Selfishness
Rumi teaches that “love” is a “healer”: it heals the most devastating disease that can afflict our character- selfishness. Love purges all character flaws and moral defects. Rumi says:
“Anyone whose garment is rent by a mighty love, is purged of covetousness and all defect.
Hail, O’ Love, that bring us good gain- you are the healer of all our ills.
You are the remedy for our pride and vainglory; you are our Plato and our Galen!”
In this presentation, we will discuss Rumi’s teachings on the cure for selfishness, and offer some practical tips to fight selfishness.

زندگی در آینه مرگ
پرتو نور برنامه شماره ۱۹۶۵. مولانا به صفتِ عاشقِ زندگی شُهره آفاق است، همانطور که اریک فروم می‌‌گوید: “مولانا یکی از دوستدارانِ بزرگِ زندگی است. این عشق به زندگی در بیتِ بیتِ سروده‌های او، و تکِ تکِ اعمالِ او جاری است.” این مولانای عاشقِ زندگی، البته مرگ اندیش هم بود. “مرگ اندیشی” برساخته خود مولانا است، آنجا که از زبانِ قوم سبا به پیامبران می‌‌گوید: طوطیِ نُقلِ شِکَر بودیم ما مرغِ مرگ اندیش گشتیم از شما. مرگ اندیشی معادلاتِ زندگی را متحول میکند، و آدمی را وادار میکند به زندگی جورِ دیگری نگاه کند؛ یا به تعبیر دقیقتری، به زدگی در آینه مرگ بنگرد. در این برنامه به شرح دیدگاه مولانا و شمس تبریز در این زمینه می‌‌پردازیم.

Globalization and its Discontents
Globalization has reached the farthest corners of the world; it affects and fundamentally shapes our everyday life. Globalization is nothing new (as it has a long history dating back to the Silk Road); what is new is perhaps the high rate of globalization we have witnessed in the past few decades- thanks to rapid advancements in transportation and communication technologies. The rapid pace of globalization has created numerous challenges for national governments; it has also induced a rising backlash against it all around the world. Yet by all indications, globalization is here to stay, and humanity has to come up with ways to deal with its consequences and discontents. In this presentation, we will discuss the different dimensions of globalization (economic, political and cultural), and the challenges it has created for humanity.

The Idea of Peace in the Quran
Quran study, session 33. Since the early days of Islam, Muslims have had different appreciations for Islam’s core message. Some among the companions of the Prophet Mohammad embarked on aggressive wars and empire building. Others turned inward and founded an esoteric tradition known as Sufism. It is amazing how identical religious beliefs and practices inspired diametrically opposed courses of action in early Islam, which has persisted until today. Although the Quran provides some latitude for interpretation, yet a careful study would reveal that it is most concerned with “peace”. The first revelation to the Prophet Mohammad in the Night of Power (لیلة القدر) was a “peace inducing event” for him (i.e., revelation brought peace to him). The Quran associates paradise with peace; it names paradise “The Abode of Peace”. Hence, “peace” is the highest reward the righteous may attain. The Quran describes God as “peace” (“السَّلَامُ” / al-Salam); so, God’s presence in the world brings peace and tranquility (“سکینه” / Sakina) to the believer’s soul. The earliest vision of peace in the Quran are “personal” and “heavenly”. In this presentation, we will trace the evolution of the idea of peace in the Quran.

War and Peace in the Quran
Quran study, session 34. Islam’s critics often point to the “war passages” in the Quran to argue that Islam is a warlike religion- an obstacle to world peace. These critics typically confuse “peace” with “pacifism”. Pacifism requires a complete rejection of violence of any form. Peace, on the other hand, does not categorically negate the use of force in a situation when a community is attacked or victimized. This is the Quran’s position: it permits war exclusively in self-defense and in order to remove the obstacles to peace- not to conquer or dominate others. The endgame must always be peace. In this presentation, we will review the Quran’s war passages in chronological order, as they were revealed in response to unfolding events during the Prophet Mohammad’s mission.

لوازم و میوه های امید
پرتو نور برنامه شماره ۲۰۶۰. امیدواری (Hopefulness) یکی از شاکله‌های خوشبختی است. مطالعات روانشناسی نشان میدهند که امیدواری ثمراتِ روانی‌ِ فراوانی دارد، از جمله: خوش‌بینی، انرژی مثبت، انگیزه بیشتر برای پیشرفت، شادی، آرامش و خرسندی از زندگی. در عین حال کثیری از آدمیان از یأس و نومیدی رنج می‌‌برند. ما در جهانی زندگی میکنیم که امور و آدمیانش قابل پیش‌بینی نیستند: ازدواج میکنیم به این امید که خوشبخت شویم، نزد پزشک می‌‌رویم به این امید که شفا پیدا کنیم، تجارت میکنیم به امید سود. اما در هیچ یک از این امور تضمینی برای رسیدن به مطلوب نیست. در چنین فضایِ فقدانِ تضمین، امید بزرگترین سرمایه ما در زندگی است. در عین حال امید لوازمی دارد. کسی که می‌‌خواهد در زندگی امیدوار تر باشد، باید لوازمِ آن را مهیا کند. چگونه میتوان امیدوارتر بود؟ در این برنامه به بررسی این موضوع می‌‌پردازیم.
