Does cosmic energy exist?. For example India v Pakistan is probably the most most emotional fifties in sport, a war of hearts and minds.

Does India's huge population give it the edge?.
 
Muslims don't. I think would be shirk so not something I necessarily believe in

The word “Cosmic” is generally used about the universe. Cosmic energy is the highest form of life force that is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient- it exists in the cosmos, between the galaxies, and in space.

It is this energy that animates life and maintains balance in the entire universe. Other names used in Cosmic Energy are super-consciousness, higher consciousness, supreme consciousness, chi, and life force energy.

In Hinduism, cosmic energy is often known as Shakti, the “Divine Mother” and responsible for all creation. Shakti represents power, might, superior strength, and capability.

Shakti is worshipped as one of the Hindu gods. Hindus also associate the energy with the almighty God and the “Brahmand” in the Upanishads.

The Hindus also refer to this external spiritual energy as prana (a Sanskrit word), which can further be described as kundalini’s life energy source.

The ancient Greeks told of a cosmic energy which all came from. They called it Chaos.

Kabbalah tells of a cosmic energy. It filters down into the physical universe from the highest sepiroth (Kether).
 
If I am reading this right, you probably mean something similar to Goku's spirit bomb. No, don't think so.
 
This rather unusual question take me back to Azfar Moin’s fine book, on the Mughal empire, called Millennial Sovereign.

While of course the foundations of Mughals rule rested on its intricate bureaucracy as well as on its ability mobilise force, there was also - as Moin shows - a more ‘enchanted’ vision which legitimised the Mughal rulers’ claim to power. There was a widespread belief - not limited to Mughal India - in the existence of unseen cosmic forces emerging from hidden realms that shaped life on earth and could be influenced through the miraculous powers and esoteric knowledge of Sufis and Kings.

The Mughal king was, therefore, viewed not only as a “political leader” dealing with day to day worldly matters, but a “spiritual chief” sustaining cosmic order, the “king of kings and the saint of saints.” Authority and power, rather than being transcendent, was thus projected to be embodied concretely in extraordinary individuals.

Mughals had heretic and belief that was apostasy.

What I meant, is, do more hearts willing something make it more possible?
 
lol that’s not how it works though, I remember arguing with elders back then that irrespective of how much one worships God for victory, it will come down to the sum of all hardwork by the players, luck definitely is a factor but after reading multiple articles on lucky people it just seems lucky people utilize the opportunities in front of them more than the unlucky ones.

Example today would be having the ability to run 3 on the freehit Kohli got bowled.

Depends what you mean by it.

I've felt caught up in a vast energy of a sea of people many times. At rock gigs, dancing at trance club night, at the football. As though the ego-wall breaks down and everyone is the same thing. That energy can be positive, exhilarating, and uplifting so that I want to stay in it. Or it can be angry, destructive and terrifying so that I want to get home and lock the door.

Is that "cosmic energy"? Or a lot of people's heads locking in together so that a circuit forms?

Nope.

Things happen as per God's will. Predestination.

That means this world is not a Test for humans. So judging people when God already knows what a person will do is meaningless. Goes against Islamic belief.

Check your understanding of religion properly.

What's up with these Hindus trying to teach Muslims their religion?

Predestination is one of the articles of faith in Islam. There are six articles: https://www.dar-alifta.org/Foreign/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=64&CategoryID=2.

This should be my last response to you regarding this.

You can educate yourself here: https://yaqeeninstitute.ca/read/paper/reconciling-the-divine-decree-and-free-will-in-islam.

Respect other faiths.

You can write about it, it’s not my faith but i wouldn't pass my faith as a fact coz it’s just faith.

I don’t have to defend my faith.

Also on respect on faith didnt you just talk about kirpan being a weapon and should be banned?

If you don't want to treat it as a fact, that's entirely okay. Is anyone saying it is not okay?

If I want to present it as a fact, I have the right to do that.

So you do not believe in God testing us on Earth then. So God sending people to Heaven and Hell is pointless. Its all predestined. You have no hope no matter how much you pray and do good deeds as your fate is already sealed.

I know there are Hadith's where Prophet Adam talks about Predestination. This is a topic I have heard arguments many times and nothing conclusive has come out.

I am not debating with you about this. You have Hindu background and are clearly misinformed about Islam.

If you want to debate about Islam as a non-Muslim, at least have some basic knowledge. Read about the six articles of faith. Read about the five pillars. Don't just read but also try to understand the interpretations from mainstream Islamic sources.

Nice try from you to skip my question. Predestination means your fate is already sealed. Your fate is written even before you were born as God already knows whether you go to heaven or hell. If you believe in that, then you are just a robot acting out your fate.
 
For the record, these are the six articles of Islamic faith:

The six articles of faith are the main doctrines of Islam. All Muslims belief in the following:

1- The Oneness of God
God is One. He is the Supreme and Eternal, the Creator and Provider, the Merciful and Compassionate. God has no father or mother and no son or daughter; He has never fathered anyone nor was He fathered. God has no equal. He is the God of all humankind, not of a special tribe, race, or group of people. He is the God of people of all races and colors, and of believers and unbelievers alike. God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is very near to the pious and thoughtful believers. God asks us to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His law for our own benefit and salvation.

2- The Angels of God
Angels are pure and spiritually obedient creatures. God created them to fulfill His commands and worship Him tirelessly.

3- The Divine Revelations (Books)
Muslims believe in the revelations sent by Almighty God to His prophets and messengers including the Quran, the Torah, the Gospel, the Scrolls of Abraham and the Psalms of David.

4- The Prophets of God
All of the messengers and prophets of God such as Noah, Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad were mortal human beings who were endowed with Divine Revelations and appointed by God to teach humankind how to submit to His will and obey His laws.

5- Resurrection after Death and the Day of Judgment
After the world ends, Muslims believe that all people will be brought back to life to face the Judgment of Almighty God. Muslims believe in an appointed Day of Judgment and in heaven and hell.

6- Preordainment (Qadar)
Muslims believe in God’s eternally preexistent knowledge and that nothing in existence lies outside of His eternal control.

I know there is Predestination in Islam. Not denying that. There is enough evidence from Islamic literature about it.

My question is, if you believe in predestination, then what you do in Earthly world will not change what is going to happen after you die. Your fate is sealed to go to either heaven or hell. That will not change.

I think Real Madrid is another example. Because they have such a global reach, they always summon something miraculous.

Islam believes in miracles and the human supernatural events that can occur

The world does seem to be a more harmonious place when Pakistan win and a nasty malevolent place when India does.

The cosmos does care imo.

I have a horrible idea that there is only one way that things can work out. All my decisions are the result of the state of my neurology at any one time. I could choose optimism or cynicism before making a decision but those choices are preprogrammed too. Same for all the other seven billion humans. There doesn’t need to be a god for predestination to occur.

There’s only one thing going on in the universe, from Big Bang to Big Chill.

Which is either very scary or kind of reassuring…..
