• I've learnt hard, not to be overly concerned. Allah being Greater than anything we can remotely think of, imagine . My heart is at peace, a relative peace that is, for I'm a yet a struggling sinner and still need to take my pressure tablets. 

  

•  Faith, means to believe in, despite  sensory evidence telling you contrary of something or the other; Iman means an absolute unshakeable  certainty of something you cant see but know, exists, from the same sensory evidence available before you and judicious use of the mind. 

  

• We fold hands in prayer at mentioning Allahu Akbar ! Instantly, nothing else in the troubled mind matters , nothing in the troubled world matters,  for I'm connected to The Divine.  

  

  

• Allah , there is no other object of worship in the heavens and on earth ,and  everything is under His absolute  control, not ours. Knower of every leaf that falls from every tree , every raindrop onto the ground, Knower of the human condition, promisor of the permanent world of being, the executor of lasting reward and punishment .   

  

• No, its not Karma,which is  lifeless , devoid of knowledge and incapable of direct action that resolves things; its Allah who knows what indeed all human  hearts, all 6 billion of them  conceal, who is the Cause and Effect and the great Tester of man. 

  

•   Tiz Allah who solely rewards , and  more than adequately, whose acceptance I seek, 5 times a day, sometimes 4. I'm just a human being after all, so defect full. Its only Allah who can punish adequately, who needs no legal advising counsellor to tell him the facts of each story, and I'm rest content with his ability to avenge; only Allah doesn’t fear retaliation of any sort, whereas any man including the most powerful on earth has armed body guards to protect him from the violence of others. 

  

•  Not being afraid of anything, anybody and a counterattack , is an attribute of the Almighty alone, for obvious reasons. Non muslims must test this attribute with their "gods", their men who claim godhood and ask why they need guards to protect themselves ?  

  

• Man, pompous, of tiny einstein knowledge, knows nothing but he is taught by Allah and given limited intelligence and knowledge. Choice of action is before him  and circumscribed by the information that’s available him. If the Unseen world were opened to man now, he would in an instant be a Believer ! But, revelation tells that at Mans choice , the Unseen's  kept hidden for a time. 

  

•  A single nerve amongst billions, moved out place, and Man, arrogant man will be reduced to a raving animal. Think.  This is how great we men are.  

  

• Whatever befalls me, Pain and Gain, taken in my stride for my Allah is  witness to my condition; He allowed it to be Caused and patient perseverance , my lot.  My reactions are being recorded every second, I know.  

  

• Thankful to Allah; many things seen, experienced, done, some regret. Completed Quran early, but Iman didn’t form didn’t figure till forty. Regrets. But I know that Allah is infinitely Merciful, forgiving again and again, cleaning up the  scorecard that your mother wouldn’t, couldn't, for who will freely forgive 70 times a day for the same mistake? Not my mother for sure. Optimism. Keep trying to earn His approval and you will succeed.  

  

• Allah, Creator of the Human eye, in the Human Womb an operating room , a creating room that’s not seen by the human eye, having no Lights, and they arnt required  to guide His hand to the microscopic artistry  in the making of the eye; no electricity to power his work, no helpers to brand 2  all important eyes, their nerves too,  upon a human being. No mistakes in the making.  12 Billion eyes +/- in the whole world and creating more all the time. Who excepting Allah is the Creator of these eyes and yet most cant see , don’t want to see the truth !  

  

• I see people seeking wealth, honour, positions and it isn't worth anything to me as I believe in Allah's words " Lo, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most aware of Allah "  

  

• I see people being jealous toward each other and I see the Quranic words " We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world "  and so I leave jealousy ! 

  

• I find people relying on their business, buildings health, and I think of " And whosoever puts their trust in Allah , He will suffice him ", and so  I put my trust solely on Allah, and wish we all do the same.
