Monday the 26th of September…. A start of the week…. It’s just one of those day when a special topic is about to pop out of my brain and write itself down on this lappy...you can read over the weekday and comment on how this will help you............ or maybe not…. whatever you may think i'm not surprise nor am i troubled.
How many times do we think of Allah SWT in a day?? Do we consider ourselves as a person who loves Allah SWT?? How do we show our love towards Allah SWT?? Are we supposed to express our love by singing like Maher Zain, Opick etc. (nope I don’t have anything against songs or the singers that is how they express themselves). Do we consider the things we do is sufficient to show clear gratitude of our love towards Allah SWT?? Can we say that what we do is enough too commensurate the things Allah have given us??
What or how do we really feel towards Allah SWT?? Do we love Allah SWT more than anything or anybody in this temporary place that we confidently call home?? What is the kind of love are we showing?? Do we give more attention to ourselves, husband, wife, children, parents, girlfriend, boyfriend etc. or more attention to Allah SWT?? What was the last thing we’ve done with regards to our love, affection and sacrifice for Allah SWT?? Can we give half of what we have earned because of Allah SWT?? Are we confident that Allah SWT would reward our commitment?? Do we want to be rewarded??
The experience that people have gone through in submission to Allah SWT varies. Relatively it’s more or less about the same. I spoke to my friend who relates some of the experience that he has encountered with other congregates who have gone through it.
Whenever they think of Allah SWT and His Prophet SAW they will cry and they will experience an inexpressible feeling. Feeling of the utmost love, sincerity, fulfillment, astonishment, regret, sadness and they will go through a phase, feeling a sense of weakness and emptiness right to the point of the first call for prayers (azan). This is the time when they feel rejuvenated instantaneously.
Eagerly approaching the prayer mats where to them it is to be a place of total fulfillment and a place where they feel that ALLAH SWT the most merciful and the most gracious hears their praises. They feel at peace and they feel that they are constantly heard and watch.
Do you feel this?? Or do you feel even more than this?? I wonder if this feeling they went thru is the real deal?? One thing that I've understood going thru life, is that nobody can ever determine what is real and what's not. Who is right and who’s wrong? Experience comes From ALLAH SWT and nobody can say anything about it. My best friend said it is between you and your creator.
