If "Only Allah", then "Allah Alone" is our watchword

Die with Salam and Wake up with Salam
Make your Nights Powerful

There were many an instance in every individual's life, when fear strikes him with great apprehension and anxiety at which point he might even think that could be the end of his life. Such might have been his losses in livelihood, properties, wealth, lives of near ones; he anticipates a grave misfortune or a near catastrophe about to befall him.

Such apprehensions or occurrences in life is a continuous process in every one's life that happens once or twice in a year. Since these are only a test unto us from Allah, to check us from going far too astray from His path; the faster we are in the path of error, the greater is the impact when we are halted by Allah. This is the blessing in action from Him. In such situations whoever remembers this as a test from Allah; and by His grace, and by His leave sets his heart at peace, would say

O God, our lives and our death 6162
And our sacrifices in between
Is all Yours; and our return
Is unto You for sure.

O God, suffices Thee unto us
In calamities and distresses;2155,156
Make our foothold firm in peace-
So true to Thy words, 4130, 31
Thee shall send down Upon us
Our companion angels
That shall be our friends
Now, here and ever.

Whoso remembers such of these words, during testing times, and maintains calmness and peace at heart for Allah's sake, Allah takes him into His fold. And at that very moment he dies; and the next moment he is back on this life with faith purified and with increased belief in the Truth of Allah. This is the Light of Allah in which he sees no cloudiness, dimness or haziness at all about his future. And Allah has blessed him with His knowledge and wisdom. With this Light upon Light, he enters into a new chapter whereupon he shall suffer not losses, nor worry, nor shall he grieve ever.

And as to the one who has been of pride and arrogance before the onset of the testing period, and then, when a distress or calamity touches him, he becomes crest-fallen and drowns deep into the sea of worry and depression with layers above layers of darkness shrouding him. He should lose sense and sight of himself. Yet he tries all his useless means while drowning deeper and deeper.

There are thus two groups of people one who wakes up with refreshed heart; these are the people who are given a fresh lease of life and a Light with which they start a new life with fresh outlook. These are the people whom Allah had guided. And there are other group of people who wake up every day with straitened, heavily burdened heart. Allah thus punishes the unbelievers.

Every day when you wake up from your sleep, you shall know if you are in the Light of Allah, or, in the grip of shaitan lurking in darkness. Make sure when you go to bed, your soul is going to be captured and you shall be put to death until the wake-up time, Al-Fajr, when your soul will be returned to you so that you shall complete your term of life in this earth prescribed for you. And guard your heart that it is at Salam by the mercy of Allah so that you will wake up by His grace and a Light from Him.

6122. Can he who was dead, to whom We gave Life, and a Light whereby he can live amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing.

6123. It is He who takes your souls by night, and has knowledge of all that you have done by day by day He raises you up again that your term appointed be fulfilled; In the end unto Him will be your return; then will He show you the truth of all that you did.

Do not fall asleep without getting Salam from Malayika by the leave of Most Merciful and may your hearts be expanded before sleep; then let the peaceful death for the Night happen. And it is refreshing in the morning with brightness in the eyes and with the Light of Allah in the heart. May your nights be full of Luminosity until Fajr - the wake up time. Make your Night of Deaths, The Lailatul Qadr, The Powerful Nights.

971. Verily! We have sent down Salam in the night of Power...
972. Salam!... This until the wake-up time!

None can earn a single night of such Salam even if he strives for a thousand months i.e. all your lives.

Gods Blessings on you. In fact I had a disturbed sleep and after reading your post again and again its refreshing my Heart.
Its great treasure in the hand right now and seeking Allah's help to implement this Ayath.

After reading word by word kindly clarify me.

Assuming a Person with dignified and recognized by Allah. Some of the points I have learnt from your earlier postings.

Does this Great Night will happen before actual Physical death happens. For example if a person at the age of 40 or 50 whatever the age, then the person is blessed till his tenure on earth plus the time period till Judgement.

Do you mean to say its the Blessings is a Advance token that he or she is blessed as Muslim and eligible for Heaven.
And be friendly with Malaika in this Physical world itself as you and I talk.

While Pondering Prophet Suleiman's life, He is be friendly with Malaika and Jinns. You mean to say Prophet Suleiman's is blessed
with this Great Nights. And almost all the Prophets and Messengers blessed with this Nights.

And coming back to basics how to sleep ? To practically wish to have the Greatest Nights what we have to do?.

1. Take Bath Read Quran before going to bed
2. Wear pure dress and make the bed clean
3. get away from all kind of emotions on anything ( wife, children, gold, business, parents , relations etc, job, money)
4. Do not entertain or engage sexual activities before going to sleep.
5. As you said "Do not sleep without salam from "malaika" .
6. Seek forgiveness.
7. Change thought processing as suitable to Allah
8. Removing Stinginess and being broad minded Spending Minded
9. Always Pondering Quran, Being Sujuthful, Avoinding Vanity, Proudness etc

Based on the best qualities if a person develops, the Greatest Night will happen before Actual Physical death takes place.

You mean to say, During the Greatest Night the person will be awake and Messenger "Ruhul Gudus" will appear in front
of the dignified person.

To Be Aware of Shaitan

Our path on the morrow starts in the mind with a wish for the future. Since mind is an abstract nature, the wish is also a natural abstract vision that blooms in the mind. When the mind receives a vision, it is the culmination of universal gathering; the gathering of universal energy in its elemental proportions as prescribed by The Lord of the Worlds, Allah. This is the Will of God sent down upon the minds of each individual in every new breath until death. Such is the entire life of man on earth with a mind housing the universal energy i.e. the Will of God on man. During every inspiration of breathing, we are born with 'renewed Will'.

No sooner His Will descended down upon us by a word 'Be' from Him, than we began to feel it as a beautiful Wish, essential for our physical life, so that our physical senses revel and relish in praise of God, and Revere Him in mind as, "All Praise and Glory be to the God of the Universes." And we know He is Almighty Power, and none but He could make the universal energy gather and form into an intended physical creation, fit for our physical nature. We are to be apprised of at this point that this world as a whole is such a physical creation, in which newer and newer creations for each man by His Will would enrich the beauty of nature in ever growing formation, expanding this world. If every man keeps His Wish in abstract nature, without imagining a shape or form to it, because he knows he cannot give shape to something that is abstract. For eg, we know there is mind in everybody but we can not give a shape or imagine a form to it. This is Wisdom of Allah.

Those who would not associate their vain and false imagination to any abstract Wish from God, they are men of understanding and are wise. They are humble before their God, for they do not associate any imagination to what God by His Wisdom and Power has designed a creation for them, when a will from Him had descended on them as their wish in abstract form.

In our hearts, as long as there is no association by way of imaginations to our Wish, God guides us all through our lives with grace and beauty. The trouble in our lives start only when we turn our backs to God and stay behind imagining. All imaginations are about the formed things of the dead-past that are already dead, or dying, or decomposing - and this is like wishing a life in the graveyard and it is a grave mistake. This is association of our deadly knowledge of the past to the heaven-ward wisdom blessed on us as abstract wish by God.

We tend to associate only when we become proud of the worldly knowledge we learnt from our deadly past. Allah loves not the proud and the arrogant. And chases them far away from His precincts. Such are the abandoned people who could never believe God at any point of their life. They would plead and cry before their imagined gods in agony and in misery - all their gods in men, in shaitans and their idols, until their lives are captured.

This is the work of Iblis, the leader of shaitan, the first order enemy of God, who became proud before His God and said thus " As You have caused me to go astray I will certainly lie in wait for them in Your straight path."

If we follow only Allah's Will as our wish, and entrust the same with Him, He guides us in a path easy and full of beauty and make us enjoy the fruits of it all the way towards a glorious future. On the other hand shaitan lie in wait in this straight path of Allah to divert and distract you. Allah's test comes to everybody in His straight path, where Allah tests us with a sense of fear, hunger, losses in wealth, lives and properties. This is shaitan's 'lying in wait' point to distract us with his companions among our kinsfolk who would abduct us physically to doctors and all worldly ways of earning fortunes - thus deviating us from the straight path.

How shaitan deviates us? A closer look at the ayat 717 follows next.....

"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."

Peace Dr,

If man would not have imagined from the abstract will of God, our Earth would have been different in nature. i agree we imagine from what is already created, then try to invent dead things like machines, hybrid crops/animals, medicines/operations to remove/ change organs, mixing the appearance of the creation.

Man took pride from the knowledge he got, by the leave of Allah by observing His creation. This knowledge lead him into the abyss of pride, befriend Iblees. this knowledge lead us to destruction of Earth and its bounties, in life forms and deteriorating living conditions and human qualities. man is destroying the Earth his home by interfering with his knowledge.

man argue "yes, there is harm in all the inventions but look for the good things also in it. because of this knowledge/invention we feel good, able to live better, etc., " where as the good things in it are God's grace to protect His believers; only the bad is by his inventions. In Quran, i believe God asks to ponder His creations. instead of pondering, we imagined. instead of having patience to see the creation to take shape to fulfill our wish by Allah's will. we in haste transgressed, interfered and brought wrath and misery to ourselves.

agriculture, organisation, medical, machinery, politics, etc to name a few. in everything we can see machinations. whoever take the straight path of Allah, can see the knowledge as blocks. for others the knowledge is shown beautiful/ deception. the pride is the veil which cannot differentiate good from bad.

i believe that only seeking forgiveness from Allah will take us safe journey from human inventions. there is no go, unless we follow our heart/God's guidance.

all the beautiful creations are the result of few individuals who took the will of God in its abstract form as it is. if we all are to take the will of God in its abstract form without our imagination, newer and newer creations never ending that relish our nature will come into existence by Allah's leave.

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 we 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 arrogant knowledge but by all 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 with pride.

What we understand by our knowledge is that that which we are already in the know of by way of bad experiences of our past or by hearsay or otherwise such as believing what is common-practice. Truthfully abiding, we have no standing to believe in knowledge for it always is a gamble. We can only say 'let us believe it works out' and never can we say 'let us achieve' the life free from worry, fear and grief using the means of human knowledge. The peaceful life is the promise of God ordained upon each man to guard until he dies; and that is possible only if one believes in the Unseen wisdom and the Power of Allah, beyond the meanest minuscule sphere of knowledge, given to man as a deception and grievous test unto him.

As one embarks on a trial, he slips and fails and fails until he stumbles on a half-hearted knowledge, that does not serve in the least the purpose of a peaceful life. Allah does not love those who are proud before Him. And God chased shaitan away as despised and cursed for the same reason. Repeated failures in efforts is an indication, we have pride in us, induced by shaitan and God is not leading us anymore; now shaitan who has been there lying-in-wait until God abandons us so that he leads the way before us, aggressively by the pride of our knowledge with no humility.

With the very first signs of failures we should have become awakened to the truth that shaitan had come before us; and we are being led towards a very disadvantageous, deadly misadventure, the worst example being today's nuclear knowledge, the zenith of all knowledge. The deadly dangerous proportions of it far outstrips the benefits of it.

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.

Allah has created iron in which there is a great grievous violence and certain advantages to man; who can remove the great evil from it and bless in it of His grace and mercy? With man's knowledge what he had gained is painful destruction upon himself over peaceful existence by the mercy of God. It is Allah's design that the pride of man in the end would fail him mercilessly; his knowledge would never help him; neither would it protect him.

And another example Allah had explained is the intoxicants, the worst evils of which Allah alone can remove and replace it with enrichment in life force. Likewise, in every material Allah had created has great dangers which will come to the fore when man is arrogantly turns His back to God, boasting his knowledge over His mercy and wisdom. Man cannot relish God created healthy food, fruits and vegetables anymore but the genetically maimed and evil generated unsightly and grossly disfigured poisonous substances. This is because they followed the knowledge with excitement in their pride i.e. the inducement of shaitan.

Here is what shaitan said to His God

"And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alter Allah's creation; and whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardian rather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss." 4119

As shaitan comes before us we shall become aware of it, when failure after failure befall us with loss of all hopes of survival. When we begin to lose our hopes for tomorrow, we withdraw from all our vain efforts and knowledge and turn to return to Allah seeking peace and forgiveness. Surely we shall find Allah as Oft-Returning, Merciful.

Next how shaitan comes from behind
717. "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."

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.

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

717. "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

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.

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

717. "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]

717. "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

1. Believe in Allah
2. Believe in the Lasting Day
3. Believe in the Malayika
4. Believe in the Books
5. 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....

[drfazl]

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....

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.

[drfazl]

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.
