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....

Beautiful. God Bless You.

At The End Of Your Prayer

"O Allah, Thee art the Most Pure; !" And their speeches would be of that that causes peace; and when their prayers come true finally, their Praise would only be to Allah, the God of the worlds." 1010

Note

The promise of Allah upon a believer will never go unheeded by the universal force that created the whole of the heavens and the earth and everything in between for each man's personal habitation in such precision and perfectness as ordained by Allah. A man sees all nature and perceives its austere grandeur according to his visionary or just sees with his plain eye sight according to his very limited view points.

For a believer in the grand promised life that which gets set in his heart (the mind) as visionary life, by Allah's leave is never to get lost either from his soul or his mind until he is ushered into it and until the life of such Grace encompasses him from every direction. This life would further as his Promised life of tomorrow's splendour, the ever expanding heavenly life. Such are the people who would lead a God endowed life both in this world and in the future worlds.

The believers in goodly life would be very certain about any good event happening in their lives is from God. Such happenings, climate and events are not to be created by them but just happens from no where which is beyond their knowledge to know the physical source. Those blissful moments of life are heavenly creation encompassed in that particular atmosphere for people to who Allah Willed.

Such people would surely remember Allah as the God of all the worlds and revere His Name as the Most Pure, the Promiser, the Potential, His Excellence, the Glorious and the God of all the worlds, Allah. In every good event of their lives in this world, their humility would be overwhelming and their piety would increase with their praise of their God and would say

"O Allah, Thee art the Most Pure; !" And their speeches would be of that that causes peace; and when their prayers come true finally, their Praise would be to Allah, the God of the worlds." 1010

But the unbelievers who are proud about their worldly knowledge and who remember least about their God, would arrogantly ascribe such events as they relish in their enjoyment living in such beautiful moments, as 'something that naturally happens now and then; and such things do happen here and there'. Their attitude is just to enjoy and make hay while the sun shines.

As believers that you are remember the ayat above and praise the Most Pure, Allah, the God of the worlds, when any good moments pass by you or visit you. Speak to your household and those near to you and the pious, the peaceful and promised words of the Most Pure. And be reminded of God that every good event happening to you and or about you is due purely to your long forgotten prayerful submission to the only God, with or without your know, at times of distress, when all your hopes were down relating to this worldly ways, where only Allah's help awaited you. At that blink of the moment whatever you sought in your heart(mind) clicked with Allah. And here is the end of that prayer. And at this blink of the moment never become forgetful of Praising the God of the worlds, Allah.

The Origin, The Design and The Destiny

Say Is there of your partners one that originates Creation and then reproduces it? Say Allah originates Creation, then reproduces it. How then, do you turn? 1034

Say Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah brings forth the reproduction. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things. 2920

From the above two verses we come to know that Allah shows us just two of His ways of Creation First is that of Origin with a command 'Be', from Him and then by His Design, Reproduction through us. And Allah will again raise His Origins by the Destiny Return of His creations back again to Him, by His Wisdom unknown to us. A believer shall believe in such origin, design and destiny decreed by the Creator.

The greatest test for us is Allah's 'strategy and the design' of reproduction of what He originated, through us. Most of us are fallen people here when we consider ourselves as having created the life, when we give birth to our offsprings, which event in truth is reproduced by Allah, The Creator. This is were the life and death problems arise throughout their children's growth to adulthood. It is these ungrateful fallen people that nurture hospitals as life saving places of worship; and call upon doctors as life givers and saviours of life. As Allah reproduces through us, under His direct supervision, we go for 10 months anti-natal check ups to save the child and the mother to keep them under the 'able-monitoring' by the obstetrician until and at labour; and we strongly believe to live or die is in our hands; we take medicines we live; if we do not go to doctors for regular check ups and do not take prescriptions we die; and if we say God will take care of that which he reproduces in the womb shall alone can take good care of the child in the womb, they would say "You are committing homicide and suicide, referring to the mother and child.

As believers that you are, you can test yourself how far you believe these verses

138 Allah knows what every female bears, and by how much the wombs fall short or exceed. Everything with Him is in proportion.

Do you believe so firmly that the obstetricians know much the same as what Allah knows, despite the ayat above? And thus you equate? And these doctors do you think are deciders of the time of labour and birth? Then what do you think of Allah's design as in the following ayat?

3134 Verily, Allah! With Him Alone is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware of things.

It is time we should have believed in Allah, He is the Originator, and then as only a test unto us, He made through us the reproduction of how He had originated man as the first beings. Those who could see this and then believe Allah is the Creator and there is none who would create life and then who could reproduce but Him. Such is the nature of creation for every natural creations and beings.

From this what we shall know is that He gave us life; He caused fear of death all through our lives which means we feared our death on many an instance in our life time when we were drowned in worry and fear and deep grief from which Allah delivered us with fresh lease of life. Here most of us fall and fail with arrogance and say we are up again from deep grief and sorrow, through our own intelligence and our able knowledge and will-power, forgetting totally or slighting aside the Grace of Almighty, who rescued us because we called on Him from the depth and purity of soul i.e without having any other help or protection in the mind other than Allah.

In our business and livelihood, it is Allah who brought our earning and placed us in a comfortable position originally; then He made us taste losses because of our ingratitude when we flourished; then we turned to Him seeking pardon; He surely is the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful, Able. Assuredly He gave the business or the livelihood back to you as only a test to see how you behave thereafter; yet, most of us show no thanks to Allah until we are made to drown again in our evil ways, and until our final return to Him. Allah is able, severe in Punishing.

1021 And when We give the people a taste of mercy after death has touched them, at once they conspire against Our Signs. Say, " Allah is swifter in strategy." Indeed, Our messengers record that which you devise."

Let us not forget this reminder in life

O Allah, You are the Creator!
The Originator of the Order-
From Life to Death; and from
The death to life; and death again
And for the Final Life thereafter
You make us Return unto you for Sure.
You are The Most Able, The Most High

May Allah make us Pass His Test in this Life.

Finish Life As Muslims

"I am living for myself; we live for ourselves." The word "self" indicates individual essential being of one's own personality. Of this, the essential being is 'the command of the Hour for him from his Soul'. That command and direction of action from Him within one's heart is his essential need of the Hour. For example, if I am deeply worried, the command is "Have peace!" If I am rejoicing, the command is "Do not be proud, calm down!" If I am grieving, the command is "Have patience for peace!" If I have fear, the command is "Turn entirely to me for peace!" If I am angry, the command is "Calm down and maintain peace!" In short when you are emotional, the command is "Do not lose peace!" Peace becomes our individual essential being of our personality. Peace is one's self.

I live for peace with God; and we are living for peace with God. This is the soul command of God; and the self of the humanity. The more truthful we are to our High Command, the Soul, and the more dutifully we guard the Peace in our mind at all costs, and the more the Almighty Power is satisfied with us. But as human beings that we are, we are born and bred with hastiness and thanklessness by the concerned communities generally. None is exempt from these two evil qualities that always keep us in the deviation from the straight path, the Our Self.

In any community each individual is not in his self wholesomely at any given point of time and thus is in a constant struggle in various angles, to please his Soul or his Self so that he can be at Peace or at Salam with himself, whereupon he becomes a muslim, the attainment of the victorious final moment.

This is the grand achievement as Allah is well pleased with us. This is because, Allah is ever watchful of us in our mind and in our actions as we struggle to please His Soul, the RUH, as it keeps giving commands by the leave of Allah to maintain Salam in our life with the others in the community. If we are to gain this victory we should shed our pride, the worst evil we possess and keep it as our crown. Let this crown become our slippers. And there we are Allah crowns us with His Wsdom and Salam. We become Muslims. Until such time we still possess the pieces and shreds of our pride and ego, Allah's help and protection always comes through all our lives in our struggle to fight the pride out. Allah shall be well pleased with our efforts in this; and He alone is the Best to Judge our truthfulness in our efforts.

As believers that we are, as long as we struggle to get rid off our evil pride, we are only believers i.e., we are mumins yet, and on the verge of being elevated as muslims, the endowed people with Salam from the All Potent. Until this is achieved our rewards are with Allah; the judgement about us is with Allah; and our requittal and acquittal is with Allah. Allah is ever forgiving, most merciful. Once Allah is satisfied with us, that is the end of our lives in this world. By His command the appointed malayika for our death capture our souls; and at this point we shall also be pleased with Allah as His Salam is conveyed to us by the malayika who receive us with our souls, with good news "Enter ye into the gardens of paradise for what you used to do in the world."

Our prayers should also be the same prayer that which Prophet Yusuf used to pray
My Lord, You have given me something of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of My Self. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."

May Allah Guide Us By His Soul

Peace.

The Night Of Destruction

For a believer there shall have to be success in all their lives; and for a disbeliever or an associator, there shall have to be losses everywhere and in all directions throughout their lives. But then, how so, each and every one suffer from both at any given time. 94 5, 6 Verily, with hardship is the ease. And surely, with hardship is ease. The answer becomes clear when we understand our belief is always coupled with some sort of association to God; and we believe not with total faith but with association. If in our heart the association to God is more, then the losses are more than the benefits and vice versa. The quality of our lives are stages higher as our association to God becomes lesser than the belief. This is because of our pondering and reasoning as we weigh our benefits against losses, with sound mind which alone makes us lean on to faithful belief more and more.

Despite our full know and our belief, we believe in addition in the falsehood, setting up partners to God while seeking His help. Eventually we tend to forget and overlook every God's help while attributing all the benefits to our own efforts due to pride and avarice for self-praise; such of these cannot stand praising God in their successes. God is ever-watchfull of their shifting stance during their straitness and while in their abundance - between their submission and arrogance. These have lost any authority to speak of Quran or any good word to others for it is most hateful before Allah - He is the Witness over them who speak what they do not follow. And when they are in their works God's watchful eyes follow their transgression making in their souls as clear impressions as witness for all that they possess in their hearts, the lies they speak, and their acts of arrogance with self-praise, however small or big they may be. Nothing would they forget on the Hour of Reckoning.

1061 O mankind, whatever you may be doing, and whatever portion you may be speaking of His Signs, - and whatever work you may be doing, We are Witness thereof, when you are involved in it. And nothing is hidden from your God so much as the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heaven. Not what is less than that or what is greater than that but is imprinted in their Souls.

Yet, before the Hour God keeps constant checks for them, time and again, with losses and adversities and with some fears gripping them; and in each of those instances they turn to God so submissively and pitifully only to turn away from Him after receiving His Mercy and speak to, and act before their people belying God, joining their partners closer than ever before. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, but not at all satisfied. Gradually, their freedom and abundance is reduced as they are made to taste of what they earned increase in their stress and reduced in their ease. Even in this situation the proud would say Whew, I have so much business tension and I have been working all night and day! I need relaxation, fun and entertainment! Now satanic force has taken these fun loving people into his fold and leads them away from seeking forgiveness, mercy, freedom from stress and ease from Allah. They join their self entertaining recreation clubs partying with wine and vices. This is where their gates are closed with their God since their higher faculty has hit the ground with intoxicated mind.

Here the caution is
We are leading a life of arrogance and ignorance which is experienced as hardship with ease combined together throughout our entire life. With every affliction and hardship we are taught by God Himself to become submissive to Him, the only One who delivers us from getting drowned in misery. If we correct ourselves and show our gratitude, then our ease grows and wins over all hardships. We begin to see heavens here. The Light of God replaces our darkness of ignorance.

On the other hand if we transgress in our arrogance instead of being humble for fear of God, our hardship increases and balance is shifted more towards worse affliction with ease weaning away, it is the Sign of our total rebellion; there is enough time to wake up to the gloom and grim situation hovering above us, and turn to God in repentance, faithfully and with patience - for God is ever merciful and oft-forgiving. Disturbance in sleep and sleeplessness are very crucial and final indication we have touched the lowest low, and it is only matter of time before we hit the ground and slip into wine, entertainment and vice to while away the Nights. While Allah has created Night for solace to mind and soul, we would be forced by the satanic forces, to sell it to destruction and abolition. The darkness of aggression and transgression induced by shaitan had replaced, even surpassing the arrogance of our own.

1070 A brief enjoyment in this world! - and then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve.

Peace.

Unless You Will, Allah will not Will

1099 And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, will you then compel mankind, until they become believers.

There are those who believe only in the Almighty and the Most Powerful for their lives - for each of them the God chosen path way would lead them to distinguished heights, individually distinct and discreet; such believers in the God alone shall allow the Creator to Originate greater and greater moments in their lives; they would discredit and disown all knowledge of the world people, because they, by God endowed wisdom know they are false.

These people are the 'foremost people' in earning Peace from the most satisfied Allah and for them the reward is the glorious life in this world and in the hereafter. This would happen only when the following group of people mentioned below, is separated and excluded from the vicinity of the 'foremost people'.

There are such of these who believe in their proud and arrogant lifestyle, involving in the destruction of lives, properties of and produces for the people, shall by Allah, get all their evil and devilish gateways widely opened, and piling up their likes one upon the other according to the intensity of their transgression that would indeed lead them all to their own doom en masse on a fateful day both in this world and in the hereafter. Their destiny as to where shall they gather and abide before the Hour is all determined and predestined. They shall never believe until their Hour of torment, whereupon they shall cry, "We believe!" But they are not believers. Their abode is far removed from the good doers.
And there is another section of people who would believe in their own good and bad for others because of envy. For them is the exclusive path of confusion and madness for they tried all means of obstruction to stop and destroy God's blessings upon the believers and upon the foremost about who Allah is well-pleased. Such mad communities of people would be gathered all in the hellish abode on this earth so long as they abide despised and disgraced.

All the evil groups as they reach their appointed term and their judgement Hour in this world, they shall have to spend the rest of their lives under the woe of Allah, the Malayika, the Prophets and the believing people. The good doers would turn to Allah before their Hour by Allah's grace and the evil ones would lag behind despite all the Signs of Allah that came to them as glad-tidings, and as warnings as well.

The believers would never know who among the disbelievers had reached their Hour and who still have been in respite. Yet they are all awaiting hell. It is clear message to all the messengers and the believers that it does not befit them to intercede on their behalf even in their submission for their sake; and never stand in prayer for them in their graves even, seeking forgiveness for them. It is because they were hypocrites, practising disbelief while amidst the believers.

Knowing well there is no compulsion in righteousness, if the believers still force the hypocrites, there is no worse hardship than this they would suffer. Allah warns the believers never to become like ignorants by compelling the disbelieving hypocrites, when Allah had abandoned them and placed seal upon their hearts never to return to the path of righteousness.

Surrender to, Obey, Call upon, Follow Only The Will Of Allah

112 Surrender to none but Allah. Verily, I am unto you from Him a warner and a bringer of glad tidings.

Surrender The Will of Allah is ever being revealed in every breath of us that embraces our soul and the same that which encompasses our mind. That "Will" is our life of breathing for this moment and for the remaining life ahead of us. At that very moment our hearts are expanded and with it certainly the life force is inspired. This is the inspiration phase of respiration; next is the expiration phase respiration.

What happens in between? Between inspiration(the Will) and expiration(by way of rejection) of one respiration i.e. in any one living moment, the Will of Allah is either accepted; or rejected, or slighted, or tossed behind the backs, or disregarded. The rejection of God's Will is because they associate their entire life devotedly to the deadly materialistic knowledge of the people putting their Trust in it. These form the largest population of disbelieving people.

"They are bygones as dead, and they would not know when they will be raised". 1621

The bygones are such population expire the Will in each expiration phase of their respiration; their lungs become straitened and their hearts are hardened due to their rejection of the Will and the anxiety arising out if it; their bosoms as a whole is constrained as their life force steadily get de-vitalised during such expiration of each respiration.

And there are other two following groups they value the Will of Allah in their hearts as most beautiful and invaluable, and they ponder over such blessings as from God Almighty, and consider every feel as glad tidings from Him alone with respect, belief and trust, and with near expectation. These are the people to who does Allah show clear Signs from Him, because He had chosen them for His Wisdom, who would then live amidst the bygones, the largest population mentioned above, as an ayat from Allah. These two are not the same. They live with them not for the sake of show unto others but as a reminder to the dead to wakeup and rise, before they are raised, on the final Hour, when their lives will be captured for good.

And these people are the foremost in heaven in this life itself, unlike the bygones who shall suffer the evil here and worse still that await them. 56 9 & 10, 11, 12

And finally there is this group who simply believed without commitment towards the Will of God, or totally being unmindful of it. When these people meet with the uncompromising distress from Us, they are sure to turn towards Almighty Power whereupon His help comes to them from Him with forgiveness. And when they die with such forgiveness in the end they become the latter group belonging to the right side. And such others whose life ends without such forgiveness because of their complete rejection of the Will of God, as the final offer from Him on the last Hour, of His help, protection and forgiveness, they become the left sided ones of the latter group of people when they are raised up for Judgement.

Those right sided people are like dead because they live associating things to God, until such time God's righteousness touched them with certain Signs from Him, by His permission. These are the people who inculcated and practised in their minds in their long struggle against falsehood through the use of the criterion and tried maximum in their life time to abide by that what is good, right and just. Surely Allah's word is this "Those who listen to the heart, and follow the best therein; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding." 3918

True to His ayat here is how Allah guides, even if they are living dead and living a deadly life.

"Is then he who was dead and whom We thereupon gave life, and upon who We conferred Wisdom whereby he might see his freedom among men - is then he, like one who is lost in darkness deep, out of which he cannot emerge? Thus their life of devotion to their knowledge made fair seeming to the disbelievers." 6122

This is clear admonition from Allah to the people of the worlds and that each one shall surrender to his own heart and follow that which has been there as righteous from Him. If he fails to surrender to the order of one's heart clear warning has already gone forth from Allah. And you shall not see any change in His Punishment.

"That you shall not surrender, obey to any but Allah; surely I am a warner for you from Him and a giver of good news,"

Water down
Stay above Water
Raise to The Throne, The Arsh

1159 Such were 'Aad people'. They rejected the Ayat of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command of every proud obstinate.

After the people of Prophet Nuh, it is about Aad, the people of Prophet Hud mentioned as the cursed people by Allah. The curse came upon them because they rejected the ayats of Allah bearing His Truth, Revelation, Signs, Proofs, Evidences, - and By the Time, they denied all of these; and belied; and then turned their faces away too.

The ayats bearing the Truth is
Allah is the One who created from heavens to earth and everything in between; he caused the man on the earth as inheritors to all these; it is He who created the all living beings, or the life from The Water; and His Throne on the entire life rests on The Water. He assures man that He would water more and more in abundance whoever abides by the Truth and stands steadfast by it. Allah assures this to man on the straight path, and not upon the so called self-proclaiming 'mumins' who would say "We believe in Allah."

7216 Had they been steadfast in the Straight Path We should surely have bestowed on them water in abundance.

Normally we know rain brings water. So rain and water are two different things. Without water in the clouds in the first place there is no rain; and without rain there is no water on the ground. Allah says whoever is in the straight path and endures in it, He would bestow him with water that would provide him with more and more of life creating Wisdom from Him. Upon the Water is His Throne from which the man is promised that he be bestowed according to his merit of his living on the straight path much to the pleasure of Allah, a part of His Throne, the Reign, the Kingdom on the Whole Nature, spanning globally, as well as skywards.

They would by His leave cause the mountain to move; they would by His leave make the dead speak; by His leave would break the earth to pieces and dust; they would by His leave cleave the whole sea into two; flood and flush out a whole evil community as Prophet Nuh did; or bring to life a whole community of people as Allah showed to a man who asked how Allah should bring life to a destroyed township. Yet they would do all these and more by the bestow of water i.e., their sovereignty upon nature by the leave of Allah; and such bestowed ones would fear Allah most and would not advance before Allah. To them Allah gives from His Reign; and whoever is hasty and advances before Allah, they are degraded, humbled and deprived and stripped off this Sovereignty empowered upon him on the nature.

So, your prayers shall include this in all your life and in your every breathing
326 Say, "O Allah , Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

If you are mumins be believers in this ayat, 1159 "Such were 'Aad people'. They rejected the Ayat of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command of every proud obstinate." You shall never follow the command of every proud obstinate rulers of the world, such as the Presidents, the Prime Ministers, the Kings, the Leaders and so on. And never be a party of those who voted them to power or be among those who praise these people whose laws and orders they enforce on the earth are wrong and unjust, disapproved by and disgusting to Allah.

We stay away from the politicians and from hearing or reading the news about these wrong doing unjust leaders and lawmakers and rulers who exempt themselves from their own rules using their powers and consider them above all laws; Allah curses such people who obey and become slaves to them in their minds. 4354 Thus he Fir'aun befooled and misled his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever a people who were rebellious, disobedient to Allah. 1197 To Fir'aun and his chiefs; but they obeyed the command of Fir'aun, and the command of Fir'aun was not righteous. Like Firaun and his leaders are the politicians today at the helm of your affairs and their ministerial colleagues all over the world; the people had fallen at their feet and obeyed their orders without seeking safety from Allah and because of this, they are bound to be doomed for ever to be pursued by a curse in this world and on the day of reckoning - 1199 And they were followed in this life by a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the recompense which is given.

And we shall not be of the view that you will be spared when the disaster from Allah strikes you while you live amidst a transgressing people even if you are not an active member involving in the wrong doings. You will be seized with them and you were one among them too, unless you were fearful of Allah and seeking forgiveness from Allah, all the time for being with them and seeking from him to make you and your family join with those righteous people and also adding in your submission O Allah if you were to seize the wrong-doers with your curse and punishment, make us not be with them on the Hour, as you had saved Lut and his family members just a few hours before the fateful Hour of dawn.

825 And fear a distress which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty.

May The Weightiest Be The Lightest
As The Heaviest Promise Descends Upon Our Hearts

351 Praise is to Allah, Creator of the skies and the earth, made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

If Allah is the source and His verses are our only resource, all praise be unto Him alone; He created the skies and the earth to house the earth as the office for man to command the heavens by His Will. This is a heavy and mighty word from Allah for those who believe. Ascend to the Arsh, the kingdom of heavens and the earth together that Allah is holding for your sake until you raise to such Purity at Soul, expected of you, by Him. The malayikas are created for this with such powers that they descend with such weighty word upon you, from Allah so slowly and so gently that you shall not reject it outright as impossible, but receive it with honor and dignity and with all humility.

The wings mentioned here are for the heavier the wings the gentle is their landing upon your heart. Whoever receives the good news without difficulty they are the truthfully humble ones for there is not a pride in them.

735 Verily, We shall send down upon you a weighty Word.
926 And he who believes in the best
927 We will make smoothest for him the easiest path

Allah increases in His creation to His bondsmen's satisfaction and to their hearts' contentment. Allah's Will and command upon the universe to bend, descend and obey to the easiness and liveliness of man, is proportional to the Purity of his soul. A believer shall believe for the best for him and for those around him, and from Him alone everything that which is within and beyond all their means and their fullest ability to meet with. The more humble we are, the lighter we would feel when the mightiest words of promise that is brought down upon us by the command of Allah through the malayikas who are capable of descending upon us with such subtlety and gentleness. Allah would make it easy for us to accept and believe that which should seem to us as a heavy promise. What a great position we would be elevated to when it comes to pass because we believed it by the command of Allah.

The Waiting Period

2203

And remember Allah during numbered days. Then whoever hastens in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays - there is no sin upon him - for him who fears Allah . And fear Allah and know that unto Him you will be gathered.

Note
And remember the help and protection you had received all your life in your trivial to most difficult times from the God of the worlds, the one and the only God, during your fresh waiting period at this moment of your life you aught to observe with patience and belief in Him alone faithfully, whereupon your wishes in your heart should come to happen for good. However short or long - your stay in His remembrance shall be accounted as good for you; so, whoever slips down and hastens on, in his own efforts, taking a break from remembering Him before the waiting period is over, there is no fault in him, and also there is no vice in him whoso defers remembrance to a later period after his fruitless hastening on - for whoever fears as to what would happen if God leaves him on his own, due to his thanklessness for all that he had received as Grace from his God throughout his life until now. And fear Allah, the One and the Only God of the worlds and know that to Him you will all be gathered.

How To Remember Allah, All the Time

131 Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the Signs of the Book; and what has been revealed to you from your God is the truth, but most of the people do not believe.

Alif - Allafa, the One who causes inseparable bondage; Laam- Lathif, by taking us with such gentleness and subtlety towards Him, Meem- Mumin, the One who inculcates and strengthens one's Faith in Him, The Most Bountiful Ra- Rahman. These are the initials of Allah and The Signs of The Book. By remembering such initials one shall initialize His nearness and His kindness towards him. This is a revelation from God in Truth. Remember Me in My Name as often and as firmly as possible unlike most people who do not believe and say Alif, Laam, Meem, Ra are not the initials of Allah's Names and thus are meaningless utterances by Allah.

The more you remember Allah's Names, the more you remember the favors He had showered upon you with gratitude; Allah does not ignore or become unappreciative of such thanks giving by His bondsmen. He becomes closer to you than ever before as our gratitude towards Him increases in such a way He constantly remembers you as He gets nearer and nearer to you.

2186 And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me; so they should listen to My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.

So how to call on Allah for our needs? In our needs is His Names. If you need anything for your life, call on Him by His Names - O The Provider; O The Sustainer; O The Nourisher; O The Savior; O The Enricher; And if you are ill then call upon Him as O The Healer, O The Curer, O The Helper, O The Protector. While calling upon The Almighty Allah by His Names, it is dignifying Him while remembering Him due to His such favors in the past.

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

Remember Allah with His Initials more and more so that He Remembers us by being nearer to us, and becoming dearer and dearer.

Wiselite

Alif - Allafa, the One who causes inseparable bondage;
Laam- Lathif, by taking us with such gentleness and subtlety towards Him,
Meem- Mumin, the One who inculcates and strengthens one's Faith in Him,
The Most Bountiful Ra- Rahman.

By remembering such initials one shall initialize His nearness and His kindness towards him.
Allah does not ignore or become unappreciative of such thanks giving by His bondsmen.
While calling upon The Almighty Allah by His Names, it is dignifying Him while remembering Him due to His such favors in the past.

Beauuuutiful !!
Indescribable Feel !!

The ALR

141 Alif Lam Ra. The Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their God's permission from utter darknesses into light-- to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One.

This is the Book with the Revelation of A L R which brings forth the men from the darknesses of their external Sights to the luminous Insight. The External sights and the Insight are antagonistic to each other. The sight-external is deception of human knowledge and the Insight is the real and shining vision - Ru?yah, for the entire life ahead sent down by Allah upon the RUH of every man as His Promise; this is the R of ALR. This is a Mighty Promise and a Heavy Word from the Almighty.

In this way, the R from the Almighty is made to descend upon a man with such genteelness and subtlety - Lathif, that you receive His Promises not as a heavy burden but as a beautiful feel that makes your heart lighter and lighter; and this is the L of ALR, the Lathif. The Almighty - A Allafa, binds as a strong binding between L and R, completing and endowing ALR , the Essentials of the Book inscribing in your heart.

If you are a believer in ALR , then proceed with the remaining part of the verse and further beyond. Whereas the external sight causes vanities and imaginations, the source of deception and deep darkness, the Insight R is delivering the message of Truth and a Promise from your God with regard to a splendorous future. Only now your belief is accepted by your God granting Salam to your heart. As long as we possess salam in our hearts it is as only a sign from Allah that he is satisfied with your use of the soulful pondering of His ayats which is requires of any believer before Allah takes him to His path;, the Mightiest and the Most Praised.

ALR IISee The Luminous Path At The End Of Dark Knowledge

141 Alif Lam Ra. The Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their God's permission from utter darknesses into light-- to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One.

ALR - This is the Book containing the Wisdom or the Light of Allah to deliver us from the darknesses of our knowledge. The knowledge gives us the worry about our future because we reach up to the recesses of the darkness through deep thinking using our knowledge in full. And with the advancement of science today we gather the knowledge from all over the globe that pushes us further into the gloom of doom. All detrimental and terminal medical diagnoses are perfect examples for this.

The situation now at hand, is in essence, out of hands that we see the vanity of our concerted efforts with all the hopeless knowledge brought together on the desk top and keeping them at the finger tips. Todays world has reached the dead end, hand and foot. This is the end of knowledge - doom through gloom.

If you want a blossoming life, hands down, turn to the Ru?yah, the R of ALR where you see in your RUH the word of Allah that you shall get over the situation you had caused to you through your ever growing dark knowledge, drowning you steadily into the pitch darkness of the deepest sea by the time. The Lathif, the L is intently watching your increasing agony mentally and physically even as He sends down His Promise, ? You shall not worry nor grieve if you prostrate to my words of Wisdom shunning away the satanic knowledge?, because of your pride and arrogance. If you are a believer in His promising words, then you have placed yourself on the Luminous path, i.e. upon the Light of Allah. If you do not, know that Allah had not wronged you a bit. He is Mighty, the Most Praised.

Cherishing or Chastising

"And when your God made it known If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe." 147

Note
Me being grateful means, 'I show my thanks for all the good things that happen in my life to my God for all great things would happen not but for His leave; Allah is the creator who would create events for me in and around, and make it abound; I will not become head haughty to say, 'I have achieved' and rejoice in that event as my success when I reap the fruits of my God's benevolence; and when something good come my way, my show of gratitude to Him is that to believe in Him then and there, there is much and much more good and the best things are with Him. If I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness while listening to others' praise of my achievement, it is because our pride has taken better of the situation; then it means you have become deaf to the word and promise of Allah, there is much more from Me; this is because our pride has made us ungrateful to the grand moments blessed upon us by the Almighty God.

Allah says all the time there are two things in mind, one better than the one existing. 3918 Those who listen to the words, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding." Listen carefully to the words in your mind and choose the best of them. With Allah there is always as your latter life, a life much better than the one existing presently. 934 And surely what comes after is better for you than that which is before you. Will you then not choose the one better than the better one, and then again the much better one, than that which is before you, if you are believer in the after life? Will you not fear your future? Will you not then stop being satisfied with what you are endowed as good life today as only a test unto you from Him, only to see you how you behave? Today's successes are only to make you know whether you fear Him lest you would lose the best of tomorrow in addition to the recession of the present life? Or, become boastful of your ability and intelligence? Or become more humble and fear Allah for your tomorrow?

Between your rejoicing at your success, and your fear for God for the morrow is decided how grateful or ungrateful you are to God for what He had blessed you with presently. Be a believer in that 'all good things come from God and all evil from yourself'. Despite your pride and arrogance what you are enjoying and rejoicing and partying is, God's Mercy and Forgiveness. Fear it is a severe test indeed from God. If only we are mindful of His verses 398; 934 and remembered the words, and listened, and observed them in our daily life Allah would have granted us more and more of Good.

yet, most are forgetful of His reminders and reminisce not the source and origin of the good events in their lives, become unmindful of Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. These are they who invite the wrath of Allah, who would painfully survive the severest punishment from Allah till the death arrives.

Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; these are they whom Allah has guided, and it is they who are men of understanding. And surely what comes after is better for them than that which is with them.

"And when your God made it known If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe." 147

Peace.

The Heavens DescendAt The Twinkling Of An Eye

The "twinkling of the eye" means "The closure and the opening of the eyelids", once.

All events, time, judgement, order, deliverance, execution, creation in every moment of our living in this world occur by His justice and by a command 'Be' from the God of the worlds, the Almighty Allah, and the Hour keeps passing at the 'twinkling of the eye'.

"And unto Allah belongs the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and the matter of the Hour is but as a twinkling of the eye, or it is nearer still. Surely, Allah is Able to do all things." 1677

The Unseen moments of our lives belong to Allah and that keeps happening as the Hour from Him during our each twinkling of the eye. From heavens down to earth and in each of every creation in between, dynamic activity and the events of such moments do take place in favour or against each of us. 7187 "The Hour is momentous in the heavens and the earth, it will not happen but of a sudden," at the wink of eye. The net benefit of such eventualities that befall each of us, is our life of able survival or miserable distress in this world. 94 5, 6 "Surely with dis-ease is ease; And with dis-ease is ease." The net balance is what we are suffering as we keep earning through our own wrong-doing, by His Justice and Hour, throughout our lives with ups and downs in proportion to our sin of shirk.

4522 "And Allah created the heavens and the earth with Truth and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and they shall not be wronged." The only sin that Allah shall not forgive is the shirk or any association to Him. All that we suffer here is because of this only sin, we continue to do, crossing well beyond the time period set for us for each to end our behaviour of association. The classic example being the choice we make between Allah and Doctor at times of crises. Our first call is to the doctors and ambulances and not to Allah; and in the waiting period with the bated breath, until the help from the doctors arrive, we turn to God in prayer. This is as bad as a blatant open show unto others of disrespect and disregard to God. But as believers every one knows irrespective of what religion he belongs to of the Truth, this 617 And if Allah should touch you with diseases and distresses, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He gives you the Healing and cure - then He is over all things competent.

Between one closure and opening of our eyes, the Unseen events of momentous proportions happen about each individual, in the heavens and the earth according the measure of individual actions and according to how close or far is one towards his destination of the time prescribed for him.

At the wink of an eye, the time with Allah is equivalent to 50000 grand years in your calculation. Remember Allah and reminisce Him more in His Names, in gratitude for the all-encompassing ease Allah had blessed you with, amidst the dis-eases you earn.

Keep your eye contact with Allah's blessings in your RUH as His Will, that which is your wish of tomorrow within the momentous period of the wink of your eye. If you remember Him within that unit wink of an eye, it is like you had remembered Him and are giving your thanks to Him 50000 times. Allah is the Best of the Reckoners. The heavens descend closer to your feet by 50000 times.

O, our God,
The Lord of The Worlds -
Make our twinkles
Brighter than the stars;
And our reflections
Brighter than the moon;
And our luminosity
Brighter than the sun;
And our heights
Higher than the Seven Heavens.

May Allah Guide us Through the Seven Heavens and Beyond.
