Colors of Allah (swt)

A human being has minute cells in body. Each cell is an independent industry that powers on its own. Creation of one cell will need a factory as big as New York city. Still making it come alive is not possible.

Two feet distance between me and my computer has infinite particles. In air alone which I can not see. And what to talk of seeing, I can only see the Visible Spectrum of Electromagnetic spectrum. Rest 99 % is not even visible to us.

The thing that can see is an "Eye". How does one cell manufactured inside human body (before birth) gets to decide it will be converted to a glass like structure. How does it get connected to retina (back of the eye). How after all these connections between brain, nerves, blood and eye it works in so much harmony. How does all of this happen? Coincidence? Evolution after a Big Bang? Initially it was only Lava. And then it got converted to these complicated products?

Point is..

We need to find Allah (swt) around us. Allah (swt)'s definition is not that He is a cruel ruler. It is that authority who created humans, this world and every complicated thing. Anything that is unexplainable leads to Allah (swt). And if everything is unexplainable and still we can not see Allah. Then we are Blind. To negate Allah (swt)'s existance is negating science and negating everything we see.

Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
- Surah Ibrahim Verse 24

Who should I follow?

I have been looking for the right person to follow. Seriously, I felt Steve Jobs should be followed being such a great presenter. May be Allama Iqbal. Anthony Robbins. Someone who is both vocal, inspiring and practical. Someone following whom gives my life the correct meaning. But who should be followed? Who really changed the face of this planet?

A person, who rises in ruins. Abused, degraded, humiliated in public. Runs from a society of chaos. People are drinking. Brothels are open. He runs away from them for 2 years in hiding. When he is a tradesman, his enemies respect him. When he is a leader, his people put fear into enemies hearts. When he is bullied, he embraces it. When he is among kids, he is a kid. When he makes a promise, he doesnot bend. His company inspires people. He is not educated.

In short, this person is the best among people who I know. If I have to find the purpose of my life, who better person is there for me expect Muhammad (saw)? None. I follow him because he answered all my queries. The next question arises:-

Why can’t I follow the One he talked about his entire life?

Just because I suddenly became more logical and practical? No, negating the purpose of somebody successful is like drinking water from a glass where there is no water. I believe, Sanity leads to Allah (swt).

Doubts are fine. Ibrahim (as) also had doubts.

Idealising our religion is another problem. We have alienated the Prophets to a level called as 'un achievable'. No body even the Prophet Ibrahim (as) ended up having doubts regarding Allah (swt). We all people are similar. If they were saints and we say, we can not become like them. The whole phylosophy of Quran is challenged. We can become like them. We will stand with them one day, in'sha'Allah. We can become as brave as them. They were human being just like us.

And [remember] when Ibrahim said, “My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.” Allah said, “What, do you not believe [in resurrection]?” He answered, “Certainly [I believe, I am asking this] so that my heart may be at ease.”
- Surah Baqarah Verse 260

In times of doubt, the only solution is to hold tight to the rope. There is no other way of saving ourselves. No miracle can convince us. Moses (as) got the best type of miracles. They couldn't believe. What tells us we will believe after seeing miracles.

Finding the miracles we already have, connecting the dots and after finding truth, staying persistant on it is Islam.

Why Prophet Muhammad (saw) is a blessing for Muslims?

Allah (swt) says:-

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward Al-Masjid Al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
- Surah Baqarah, verse 144

Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) turned towards the new Qiblah without hesitation, accurately facing the Kaaba without the use of any scientific instrument or compass. This took place in the second year after Hijra, the migration. Most interpretations date it to the middle of the month of Shaban.

Prophet PBUH did not wait for somebody to bring him compass to calculate accurate direction of Kaba before turning to Makkah. Neither did he wait for the prayer to finish. He just acted upon it. Sudden and blatent orders, executed suddenly by our beloved Prophet (PBUH).

The colorful and bright sunnah's of our Prophet is the real blessing for muslims.
