Shaitan Blocks Your Straight Path From Before

Future is our entire life ahead of us. Allah has forgiven all our evil past as evidenced by our hearing His glad tidings with respect to our future such as "You shall lead a peaceful life free from all worries, fear and grief." A believer shall never doubt this promise of his God, for He would not say or cause one to believe what is not true. Belief in such dictum is possible only if remind ourselves and remember God with gratitude that all the good that happened in our life is not due to what we worked with our hands using our knowledge but by some superior force beyond; and by the same touch-stone we shall get it clear that every worry and hardship we suffer is the work of our own hands, the use of material knowledge.

fazl

Peace Dr Fazl.

This reminds me of the verse 1783
And when We bestow Our Grace on man, he turns away and behaves proudly, far away from the Right Path. And when evil touches him he is in great despair.

My understanding
Whenever man becomes proud, Shaitan becomes his best friend, misguiding and leading him to destruction.

God grants me knowledge, which is a miniscule of His wisdom, I become proud and start thinking that I can do anything, I can achieve anything. Shaitaan makes this look good to me as self-belief and self-confidence, courage, etc. Thus I commit the crime of association. I associate / equal myself, my knowledge, to God and His wisdom. I start visualizing / imagining about the God given wish and will.

An example for human visualization and imagination are the bizarre, monstrous, ugly looking characters in the movie 'avatar'. An example for God's creation eyes, nose, ears and lips alright, but each face is a unique creation, each different from the other. how a man who weighs 100 kilos or more. his gait is lithe and graceful, his weight spread evenly all over his body.

I become boastful and arrogant when something good happens in my life by the Grace of God and thus become ungrateful to Him. For eg. when I have a baby, I congratulate myself and allow others to celebrate and congratulate me as if I accomplished something great. This way I incur God's wrath and curse upon me for my ingratitude.

All that can be seen is knowledge.
All that cannot be seen is WISDOM. God, lifeforce, faith, mind...

My current knowledge is insufficient to solve my problems like mental agony, physical distress, monetary worries and other fears.

My only solution for salvation I must be humble to God to constantly increase my clarity and also help me to believe in His Guidance for every breath of my life. This Guidance is His Grace, giving birth to fresh and new wisdom, day after day. As the good in my life is invisible as of now but is about to unfold and flower beautifully in a way beyond my imagination and unthinkably powerful and everlasting.

Peace

Yes Gita, the more you believe you, the less you remember of Allah and the least you are grateful to Him for all His blessings on you. Allah hates the proud and thus there every chance when we shall be left alone by Allah and let shaitan become our close companion; and he comes from before is to join hands with and lead us astray.

Shaitan Pulls Us From Behind

"Then I will certainly come to them from before them and
from behind them
, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and You shall not find most of them thankful."

Even as a glad tiding reaches our soul or RUH from Allah as abstract blessing, our mind is made known of it. It is by a 'Be' from Allah, the blessing is placed in the RUH and the mind is informed of it about the same time, without a time lapse. Shaitan comes before, between God and us and charms us with his illusionary shape and form as to what that abstract blessing is. Definitely this is deception from shaitan that he makes us idolise imaginatively what otherwise could have beeb a beautiful life from Allah, if only we fall not to the idolising. By imagining we idolised what we do not know in truth, and thereafter follow the material and dead life, like chasing a mirage in hot pursuit. We are thus made idol worshipers by shaitan.

Our faces are now turned to our backs to start searching for the materials of the past world that is dead and gone, instead of firmly believing and looking forward to the Blessings of Allah which is dear and near. Once we idolise the blessings we have committed a sin upon us by turning our backs to it. Shaitan is there at our backs to conduct us into the world of utter deception. To make us know our wrong path and destination Allah shows His Signs often and off and on, from within us and without as anxiety and apprehensions; hitches and hurdles; and losses and failures in all our efforts in the path of error.

Shaitan now talks philosophy "Failures are stepping stones to success" and furthers us deep into trouble to the point of despondency, dejection, depression and utter hopelessness. At this stage shaitan's business with us over and he leaves us for a while. Now he knows well we would seek help and protection from God, and he knows for sure, Allah's help shall never be there when all belief and hopes are lost. We can never turn to God with belief and hence we are far away astray. Yet Allah is merciful upon who has still the ability to think and ponder. Since we rejected and slighted all signs of God and this day, more than God's mercy, His wrath upon is greater. This is the recompense from God for us that we shall suffer in this world for a determined period with patience remembering God more and more, seeking forgiveness from Him before we are delivered from our troubles.

Shaitan keeps watching us all through and when the suffering period is about to be over, he comes around with certain ideas towards which we are pushed to act only to make us think and become proud that it is finally our own efforts that delivered us from such long sufferings and it is fruitless to seek only God's help without we doing our work for our good. This is where shaitan makes us become thankless to God, when it is from Him that a respite is in the offing. We are in for more trouble and it is very near. All this happens at our backs when we are turned away from God, idolising the 'abstract blessing' of God and started following shaitan following the idol we had imagined to God's beauteous life.

Mindfully follow the soul; mind is unseen and soul too is unseen; and what is sowed in it as good is to be guarded as such
Surely shaitan would induce into idolising the blessing; the imagination then is all about the worldly pleasures
Never idolise what is a blessing for the future from God in an abstract form
Believe in His blessings in its unseen nature, until it unfolds into manifestation for a lovely and lasting physical life
Every idol will perish and self-destruct and so all your efforts in their pursuit will meet the dead-end when you shall suffer losses in wealth, lives and properties
Allah gives us no choice but to turn to Him alone with patience whether we like it or not, for respite and relief
When the period of suffering is about to end, we are given a new wisdom and knowledge which you are going to work with that should deliver of your short testing period
This is the crucial point to stop and think why this easy way has not occurred to our mind before and how come now it had dawned upon us? Then we would have got the answer that this is delivery from God for our patience and seeking help from Him. This is show of thanks to God
If we fail to think this, it is because of the pride to say to the world I did come over my obstacles because of my sheer hard work and self confidence
Thus we become companions of shaitan

Shaitan Blocks Your Straight Path From Before

Allah sets forth just one example of use of man's knowledge, the iron 5725. Certainly We sent Our prophets with clear arguments, and sent down with them the Book and the balance that men may conduct themselves with equity; and We have created the iron, wherein is great violence and advantages to men, and that Allah may know who helps Him and His apostles in the secret; surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.

fazl

I have been pondering this Ayath for long time. Thinking for long time why GOD suddenly talking about Iron for it looks like disconnected. But by Heaart the words of GOD can never be disconnected.Now the time has come for revelation.

Thanks for the explanation Drfazl. God Bless you.

Be Aware If Allah, Or Shaitan Before You

"Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and You shall not find most of them thankful."

Allah is ever grateful to man if he shows his gratitude to Him alone. The show of Allah's gratitude to us is His help in increasing our faith in Him manifold with peace. Faith is a combination of unwavering belief and absolute obedience totally surrendering to His words of solace.

In our entire lives, in every moment of our living Allah breathes into our RUH, His Will of good fortune upon which we shall have Faith, by His Name The Truthful, The Trustworthy. Every single elemental aspect of a Will from Him is the ensemble of entire cosmic creative force in abstract form. Allah alone can make manifest and reveal further as to what blessed nature would they arborise and ramify as they assemble into, from the moment the Will is breathed in the RUH, to as long as they live - in this earth and thereafter. All what Allah expects from a believer is that he shall believe and accept His Will as it is given to his mind, as his wishful tomorrow in the abstract form and never give a tangible imagination to it, and that he shall not assume or create what Allah has intended for him.

If he does so, he is imagining a false idol. He has changed Allah's Will and blessing to the worldly things of pleasure and he starts worshiping the idol and desiring for it at any cost. This is the work of shaitan who comes before us between our future and the present. He allures us with the worldly things of pleasures embodying and equating Allah's Will to the vanities of mean desires.

Allah warns us not to advance before Him, in our hastiness towards our desires for, it is allowing shaitan to come before us to lead us to the evil enchanted world. Allah's way is always easy and smooth with beauty and grace. The trouble starts in our mind only when we imagine our future in tangible form following shaitan before us. We are disillusioned and charmed by his deceptive suggestions and overtones, deviating us from the Will of Allah and His straight path.

drfazl

"Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and You shall not find most of them thankful."

When a glad tiding from Allah is sent down upon the RUH of an individual, it is as immediately reflected on to his mind without an iota of a pause. Reception of such Wahi from Allah and its perception by mind is almost simultaneous. In our mind is already the evil-possessed and self-acquired worldly knowledge which shaitan had redeemed in us as the treasure of our life; and the mind is taught this knowledge is what is going to earn us our rightful need. Such is the pride we have in our mind, that all good things should be earned only by our efforts and by the use of what we possess as worldly knowledge. And we consider the same as the righteous way.

Despite the truth that we know all and every means of human's survival on earth is full of treachery and hypocrisy; evil and lies, we would say, 'that is life!' the shaitans around would say, 'we shall have to go through pits and falls, and ups and downs; so acquire more knowledge to tide over and put in your hardest efforts this is life! Shaitan makes us get tired of this life under the garb of showing us the right path.

As a test unto us Allah off and on allows us certain benefits from Him amidst our losses, so that we reflect and become grateful. Shaitan now comes quick towards us from our right-hand side to make us become proud that it is we who had achieved success and it is nothing to do with the God. And it is because of our courageous non-stop efforts despite losses, making us become forgetful of, and ungrateful to God, thus shaitan making himself still more closer to is as a companion.

Because of man's ingratitude and pride and keeping shaitan his closest companion, he leaves Allah's help and protection; and goes far astray following shaitan until he meets his disgrace and very painful living. At this, shaitan having succeeded in his mission to lead him into total disbelief as the left-sided people, he disowns him. This is the stage man cries out to His long-lost God and says, "Why have you abandoned me like this if you are truly there; I pray to you but you do not turn; now that you have left me in the lurch, I will turn most people away from your way," thus becoming shaitan himself.

Thus when by Allah's leave we get a reward, shaitan comes from our right-hand side and congratulates us and make us feel proud and come before our people to accept their praises on us that we had achieved because of our hard work. And later because of such pride and ingratitude when Allah makes us taste the evil we had earned, shaitan comes from our left-hand side and make us put the blame on God for all our evils.

Such shaitans are there everywhere, in every person, in every religion's priesthood; and in the leaders of all religious groups.

Soul and Mind

Thinking is the creative process in the soul of a person, crossing the mind barrier, deflating the cerebral synthesis of material understanding. The soul and Mind are two different things of unknown origin, indiscernible to every physical sense, placed in the heart of man.

The soul is otherwise to be known as the RUH of God, whose function is to receive God-send good news and to deliver the same to the Mind. Both occur at the same time without a pause. When Allah intends something on some one, He has to say to it, 'Be, and it is!' His intended 'Be!' is sent down upon his RUH, or the Soul of the person intended, which receives the Command and delivers it in its purest abstract nature to his Mind. This delivery to one's mind is registered for life, not to be erased at all till death. This is the Book.

For example, a man receives a good, Godly message as 'Be', i.e. Allah's Will as Blessing such as "you shall not suffer worry or fear in this world, for life, provided My Will is your dear wish from the very moment it is registered in your Book" This is not a concrete material to be bought, or earned and kept with us as a physical object; and one cannot visualise or imagine it, for it is a blessing from God and thus a pristine feel.

How is it possible for man to chase an inanimate feel? Or is it possible at all for him to work towards a non-physical awareness registered in The Book, his Soul, The RUH? The Source of this wishful 'Blessing' in the Mind is in his Creative Soul or The RUH of Allah. Here is the situation wherein is his choice wish for the Will of Allah, with all your awareness and stay blessed with peace by the grant of Almighty Power, all through your life; or, he can choose to ignore the Will of Allah altogether and be done away with, from His blessings, entering the world of miserable life with fear and grief.

If we fear the life of dismal abyss in this world, we shall believe His Will as our Wish, the blessed intuitive awareness of bliss He had commanded our Mind with through His RUH i.e through the Book, your Soul. The Will is Lead a Tall life without worry or fear. There is no doubt in what is inspired and inscribed in it for good.

All you have to do is 'Wish the Will' and keep up your belief in it with humility and put up with patience and endurance upon the definitive time frame Allah has set for each blissful moment of the life that would last for lives in both the worlds. Fear Allah that the Wish shall not be weaned away from you because of your forgetting the blessing due to negligence and ingratitude, arising out of your pride and arrogance.

This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;

5 PILLARS UPON WHICH
ONE CAN BE A MUMIN

If we want to be in the safe hands of Allah we shall believe in and wish for adherence to the following very important 5 aspects in all moments of our life as ordained by Allah. The five aspects are

Believe in Allah
Believe in the Lasting Day
Believe in the Malayika
Believe in the Books
Believe in the Prophets

We are to examine the following verse now

2177 Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but true righteousness is in one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets.

Before building our Paradise upon these 5 pillars, turn your faces away from the east or the west and you must turn your faces only towards your Soul, the RUH of Allah, listening to Him all the time for therein is the Righteousness and His Guidance and His Remembrance.

And before embarking on the course of this ayat for righteousness, it is incumbent upon us we shall have to know who Allah is before believing in Him. Claiming to believe in Him without knowing Him who He is like believing in a vacuum i.e. the naught wherein could only be the ruling of shaitan or the ghost. Unless Allah Himself reveals about Him to us, there is no way we shall know Him.

Who Allah is Allah is the One who created the skies and the earth and everything in between that they shall serve the man, upon His command. He is ever watchful of each and everyone, and of that that which they consult within their hearts secretly. Allah loves those who abide by His attributes and strive living in the righteous path, true to His Names. For example,

He is Most Merciful Our prayer to Him is that He serves us with a merciful heart; and practice Mercy in day to day life - Allah is with you.

He is Kind and Gentle Be kind and Gentle towards those who show difficulty in understanding - Allah is with you.

He is Most Forgiving Have your option for a forgiving heart - Allah is with you.

He is Patient on us Be patient with those who cause anger and disturbance in you - Allah is with you.

He is The Provider provide from what Allah has given you your good in excess to what you need - Allah is with you.

He is the One and the Only One for all your needs, all through your life and there is none like unto Him never associate any one or anything to Him with regard to the fulfilment of any of your need in your life - Allah is with you.

He is the Most High be humble and obedient to your inner command and thus surrender to your Soul - Allah is with you.

He is All-Knowing so fear Him and guard against evil in you - Allah is with you.

He is Trust Worthy put your Trust in Him and persevere in Peace despite adversities about you.

He Teaches and Guides us towards dignity and glory; and He is the Most Wise all praise be unto Him; never become proud or arrogant - Allah is with you.

He is the remover of all evils and purifier of your mind when you are ill at heart and suffer diseases never associate doctors and sorcerers with Him - Allah is with you.

Allah's Name is there in all that you need in your soul, for it is He who embeds in each Soul, his needs for life, as His Blessings and Glad tidings. So do not memorise His Names; Remember Him most and Strengthen your minds with regard to your Needs and put your Trust in Him with Patience, all the time Persevering in Peace, Guarding yourself from allowing evil entering your mind, Believing you are being Guided towards the Grace of your God and you are already Encompassed and in the Embrace of His All pervading Wisdom. All the capital lettered Names above are Allah's. If you are believers in Allah, then we shall remember His Names, more and more and grow in such strength. During every moment of your need you will be remembering Him alone, by all His Names and Allah is ever nearer and dearer with you as never before.

2152 So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

Next Believing in the Lasting Day....

Be a believer in Allah's Judgement both in this world
And in the Hereafter

Each Soul receives the Will of Allah as His Blessings from the most immediate in this world, to the remotest, beyond his life on this earth. For example, this is the Blessing our RUH, the Soul receives from Allah "Lead a peaceful life i.e. a life full of peace; and have Salam from Me the Almighty, all through your life, in My Name the Creator, the Provider, the Nourisher, the Expander of the Lasting Salam, Forever. This is the only thing your soul is granted with by the All-Knowing, the Wise.

But a man's mind is drowned in al the self-destructible worldly things of pleasures such as all nature's splendour and all the man invented things as his dire needs for his entire life, in this world, i.e. he has totally thrown himself out of his Soulful Will , the Blessings of God. What he has exchanged for the Soul of Allah is, the mind of himself! A proud and an evil trade indeed!

Against Salam or Peace for the soul, what man has earned in exchange would not give him ease in his distorted and disfigured life as the illusionary life he has traded for, dissolves under his very eyes. He would now love peace at soul more than anything and he would be willing to give away all his worldly and pleasurable possessions, and all his possessions of pride, the praised, invaluable wealth of the entire worlds. Either he should get the Peace or would he put an end to his life. This might be his last day, or the JDay in this world. And thereafter he awaits doom in the hereafter.

536 Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment

Let these traders believe and fear the last day of life on this earth; on that day there is no bargain will be entertained; no ransom will be accepted; no intercessors will be allowed; the helpers and protectors will be far removed; all the things and people they idolised will be extinct. On that day they would curse their ancestors and their leaders and pray for a double punishment in hell for them. And they would not know all of them would receive the same.

Before the last day should come, Allah promises beautiful life in this world itself with malayika as your companions who would be the companions in the world next, too. Stand steadfast in what is blessed upon your RUH, the Soul. Allah says to our mind through His RUH, "Stay with a life free from fear and anxiety in mind; and sickness in body; and be free from loss in trade and poverty." This is the word of promise by Allah and one shall know for good such a life is possible not with men but only with Allah, the All-Knowing. Staying put in our Soul, the RUH of Allah is the only means. As long as one has lasting hope in the blessings of Allah with forbearance the reward from Him is sure in this life while still living.

Believe in the Lasting Rewards from Allah, await His Blessings to come to the fore, for our beautiful and lovely life, a feast from Allah to the physical senses too, to revel in it and revere Him in the Soul with gratitude for more and more such rewards for the splendorous physical life, a judgement to be delivered to is in this world itself, a sure spectre and astonishment for others who shall visit their respective minds when they see such life, granted to who Allah shall Will among His slaves. Such beauty of a life shall either trigger envy and animosity in the deniers and disbelievers against the blessed ones who are Judged and Amply Rewarded; or inspire those who are believers to lean on to 'Allah and Allah alone', for their own majestic life, yet to be delivered. Allah is with those who remember His Names,in all their needs and all through their lives.

If we are believers in the Last Day, when Allah's word or promise in our RUH or our Soul shall happen by His Leave, we are freed from anxiety, worry, fear or grief; and this is the Day of Judgement and a life of paradise in this world. The Malayika descend on us and say 4130 Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them in this world, saying, "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised. We are your protecting friends in the life of this world and in the Hereafter. There you will have all that your Souls Will, and there you will also have all that you Wish for.

Until and unless one tastes the delivery of Allah's judgement in this world off and on and continuously thereafter and a part of paradise is not lived by one, and with the malayikas as their companions here, there is no reward of paradise for him in the hereafter; their friends in malayikas shall not accompany them when their souls are to be captured finally, for the final judgement.

2177 Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but true righteousness is in one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the Malayikas, the Book, and the prophets.

Next believing in the Malayikas....
