The art of Zen & koran

I currently reading a book about zen . I hoping it will give me some insight in order to enrich my islamic pratices.

Zen is horribly hard to decribe.
Basically to do with living in the moment and no mindeness.
Living in the moment will full awarness and no mind.
In other words in the moment with no fear,doubt,happiness or intention.

I am thinking if you practice this in prayers how mich more quality the act of prayer will have.
And its good way to live.

In koran it is said - That everything happen by permission of God(swt) you should only fear and praise god because none other can do anything to you without his permission.All that happens good to you is due to him all that happen bad to you is brought on by one actions realise or unrealised or him(God) and all needs his permission.

This shed light on worrying and fretting in life.
Lots of things are really nonsense.
And the other important stuff leave it to the hands of the creator.

If a person does not beleive in a higher force then life is up to him/her .
If they really think about it earnestly life is so full of potential and possibileites and UNKNOWNS that it is virtually impossible to manage to a sufficent degree. The only reasonable way is to cut out all unknowns in life and this will make living really dull.

Something to think about.
