Prayer is Worshiping
-
Brothers and sisters,
Though this topic has been dealt with before I want to place this topic again to work our mind to gain a new dimension. "Prayer is worshipping none but One!" But we know only the men and the matters and go behind anyone and go for anything - but the One. Thus we stray. How to worship Him now without knowing who He is! And where He is! He says He is near; and that He is nearer to you than even your life! Which means you are dearer to Him than your life is to you. Unless we feel the same way that we are for Him as He is for us, for sure we are far, far away from Him. Despite we Read this from the verses we go astray into mosques, churches, synagogues and temples. In fact and in effect we are following the poojaris, mullahs and priests and never the One, the God!
Ibrahim got the conviction by seeking from Him, to convince him and show him He is the Creator! Allah did convince Ibrahim and showed what Ibrahim wanted. And there was a man who saw a town that was destroyed and deserted at which point he asked His God, "Who will create this town again from such destruction?" And to this Allah made him die for a 100 years before he raised him up again and then showed the man with the example right before his eyes, of his donkey being brought to life from its bones in step by step manner; like joining the flesh to the bones and covering it with the skin before its life is breathed into it. Like wise unless we seek from Allah to stand witness at least to one of His Innumerable Attributes it is hard for us to believe that Allah is the God of the Universe! And unless we see His Wisdom individually there is no way we can stand steadfast in all our activities prayerfully worshipping Him alone without the sin of shirk.
Now the ordinance upon us is that we strive in this path following Ibrahim, Musa and other such prophets and messengers that we are to seek from Him, How He, The One, is the God of the universes! Then it is for sure we shall be given a beautiful and bountiful life here and at the end of our life here we shall be raised as His Witnesses and be of the foremost on the JD. This is all about the prayers before even we know what is worshiping. Please put in your views!

Dear friends,
Worshiping is to warn against and to discourage the bad ways; and to give glad tidings, and to encourage in the good ways in the society. Such had been the work of the prophets and the messengers of all times from the start of mankind. And while worshiping we shall be truthful to our own self i.e., unless we have been living models ourselves to what we are going to say, we shall not engage in giving guidance to the public 2 44. Before the truth is completed on us and we are placed and secured in the path of Allah, by His Mercy, there is no way we shall open our mouths to advice the people. Until such time each of us lead the life ourselves, there will be no liveliness or purity in our communication. Allah says in no uncertain terms that we never speak that we are not! Or utter that we do not do! And fear this deterrent sign for if we overstep this monition we are to expect the wroth of Allah. Many of us have been suffering mind wise and bodily health wise in various degrees and put to distresses from directions unknown. Every day the evil in us deepens as long as we seek human medication until such time finally we are made to remember Allah; and soulfully pray for our respite and reprieve. If Allah is satisfied of us during the period He strengthens our belief in Him as He removes our sufferings that He allowed for us as only a test. Once we are delivered out of our bad days we shall remember Him more then, than how we remembered Him when we were mentally and physically sick. This is thanks giving and strengthening of our belief 4 147 in Him i.e., worshiping Allah, prayerfully abiding by the ayats.

There's a vast difference between the words "worshipping" and "serving" a deity. Hence, are the religionists actually worshipping or serving this so-called deity, which is all essence and either way, seems to be a fathomless yet fathomable male superfluous being?
