Do Angels Blog?
At a very early age Muslims learn that two angels (Kiraaman, Kaatibeen – The Honourable Scribes), to your left and right, watch over your entire life – one recording your good deeds, the other your indiscretions.
A few months ago, I was learning about RSS and read a lot about how people record their own thoughts in private blogs…my friend Surj and I began speculating how cool it would be if our brains could generate RSS feeds…so we could apply some kind of structure and record to our thoughts…
Well today it struck me that the very Angels who have been watching over me, may have the solution – they must be blogging my life? Can they syndicate? Are they using Atom, RSS or some ethereal metaphysical CMS. I wonder if I could tap into this stream of meta-physical-data? Where does the IPR lie, the Angels, Me or God? Can I contest the content! Of course, as a Muslim I know I cannot :(
As well as operating the universe, nature, celestial mechanics, weather, the plant and animal kingdoms – God must be running a fantastically powerful content management system. One able to record a phenomenal amount of metadata on every soul that has existed. Indeed, every soul that will ever exist, each event, its outcomes, the relationships, ramifications and our motivations. Now that’s scale, on a privacy-penetrating level that would make GMail and TIA blush!
The Jewish, Christian and Islamic notions of Judgement Day hold that every soul will have their life ‘played back to them’ – so I’m guessing that The Honourable Scribes also have a phenomenally cool RSS Reader…
