Let us praise Allah

Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they praise Him, and to Him they prostrate.

Todays topic is broken into following parts. We need to ponder over following 4 places quite seriously.

1. Near your Allah

2. Do not take pride

3. Praise Him

4. Prostrate to Him

1. Near your Allah

Allah exists, physically, around us. Just like Musa (as) couldn’t see Him. We humans, can’t see Him. It is not because, you need the seeing of Allah, to believe. It is because, you are asking too much. Let me explain it to you 👇

Explaining the desire to see Allah

Allah has made a human being. It is built with bones, flesh and blood. There are some organisms that constitute our body.

Percentage of elements, learn more.

These elements are one out of 118 possible elements (so far discovered) that exists around us. Our Body, this tree, that building, fly buzzing around are these 118 periodic table elements, combined in different orders, to shape our world.

These elements, inside Protons, deeper Neutrons and Quarks, are living organisms. If you can’t see them “moving” like they are “alive”, try looking any of the elements under a microscope. These elements are moving and have a “life” inside them.

Non existant Order

Because, there is no creation of order and a lively organism combined by these living beings, constructed by humans; I am a believer. Robots formed, the cars on roads, moving machinery, are un-organised combinations of elements of periodic table.

These machineries do not rely on meats or vegetables. These are working in a life-less, boring, un-ordered fashion. These creations of humans need continuous maintenance to keep running.

What does Allah want out of it from us?

Things, alive, in nature, do not need maintenance. Allah wants us to see these organisms, act on the reality, prove Him you deserve to see Him, then may be we can ask to see Allah.

This part only means, we discover Allah by getting dirty in the mud, by studying the periodic tables, gathering the knowledge of truth and then getting closer to the truth. Allah is asking us to become scientists, developers, philanthropists, writers and painters. No other way, you will near Allah. Nearing truth, is nearing Allah.

2. No arrogance

Balance by Marcelo Moreira

As soon as you find Allah, you can not walk with arrogance. You can not take credit for a good blog, a good Website, a good presentation or a good Tesla car. You are already vulnerable. One element mis-hits the throat, enters the wind-pipe, you die.

We do not control any part of our life. The walk, movement of hand, tongue and eyes, are some elements of periodic table listening to us today. Any of the element disobeys me, I land in lands of misery, depression and hopelessness.

A scientist, a painter, a vlogger, a traveller, is not proud. If he is proud, then he has not neared Allah. He has not yet found Allah. He is still struggling and needs the push.

3. Praise Him

He is not only pretty, colourful and amazing. He is also graceful, inspiring and motivating. He is a great leader. He holds your finger, walks you in your walker, pushes your cradle, gives you toys, a mother and friends. He brings you to your teenage-hood. Teaches you to play football, swing a racquet and throw a ball. He helps you learn to swim. In clouds, he lets you feel the wind. Gives you a pen. A book. A staff. A rank. He leads you to your today.

After all the effort by Him, you ask for another rank, another car, another bump and another push. You say, you do not live happy, because you hate your boss, parents or wife. When He tells you to thank Him, today, when He floated red, energetic blood in your veins, your respond with a complain.

Does He stop giving you while you sin, betray, complain and hurt?

No. 10 years down this road, He will give you children, better car, bigger house, stable children and new colors.

After 10 years, you will complain of your weaker legs, losing daughter or failing child. You will not have the bigger, more and new. You will wish for more.

He will still not stop. He will still hold your hands and will take you to your destination.

Allah is writing

While you can not see, the writer is writing a beautiful story. The artist is planning a beautiful day. The painter is designing the judgment day. When all hell will break loose. The complainers will look to their fellows. Betrayal, hopelessness and un-ending misery, will hurt you. If you will not stop complaining, and start thanking, you will lose more than you are losing today.

Be happy. You do not need anything, but a sketch book and some colors.

4. Prostrate to Allah

Grand Mosque by Manprit Kalsi

This verse is a “sajda” ayat. Please spare a moment to submit to Allah. Hold on, think of Him around, inside and above, all in control. Submit to Him, and tell Him, your life is no more like the way as it is today. No more late waking up, complaining bad taste, or fighting the goodness. Just tell Him, you will start discovering Him starting today. You will not waste a minute, where you are not looking at Him, fearing Him and thanking Him.

Convince Him, you are better, beautiful and an honourable creation. Tell Him, you will not break promises. Promise Him, you will make Him proud. Love Him, for the cradle to the car standing outside in your porch.

Conclusion

I have this iPhone 8, bought it 2 years back from Islamabad. I am so happy, I am writing this blog on a phone, made by a person I love so much. Steve Jobs. Such a great human being. A love-able person. Honest and colorful.

I know Steve Jobs has spread more Islam, more love and more Allah’s message, than most Pakistanis alive. I love him, for his talks on stage to his honesty towards poor.

Someday I will meet him and thank him for giving me an iPhone, where I can write a blog and share message of Quran to the world.

Be the Steve, exactly like him, creator of beautiful machines, spreader of positivity and marketer of honesty; Allah might forgive you. He might bring you closer and He might cure your world.
