“Lord! Let Me See You!” People basically seek for God for their natural eager. The highest level that one can reach is Liqaullah: the vision of God. But here arises a big question: Is it possible to see God and how? Even children today are eager to see God, so they ask in their own language: “Dear God, can I see you?” In this sense, Imam Ali’s speech is to be understood when he answered his follower’s question, ‘whether he (the Imam) would ever have seen Allah’, saying: “How can I worship something that I do not see?” But at the same time, the Imam said: “Eyes do not reach Him through physical sight, but hearts with the true faith do!”

Theology of Life Shia Islam is described as a life program that corresponds to human spiritual and physical nature (Fitra). In this coordination there is a great potential to guide man and bring him closer to God; now and here. Theology of life, based on knowledge (education), wisdom (of the Quran and the Sunnah) and relationship (through supplication and prayer), and claims universal validity. At the forum of its social commitment, Shia Islam deals not only with the Muslims as brothers in faith alone, but also with all people - and especially with the book owners - and extends the hand of scientific and practical cooperation to them. In doing so, he tries to pave the way for a non-violent coexistence on the basis of a “just peace”.
