Don’t Be Discordant with the Universe
Life has taught me, based on Islamic creed (aqidah), that Oneness of Allah is the essence of all Divine Messages
and the essence of real human life – the value of man is seen in making Allah at the center of one’s life
Enslaving every atom in their body, its movement and stillness, and their own selves to Allah, the Lord of the worlds
As their prayer, their sacrifice, their life, and their death are for Allah, living by the verse:
“Say, ‘Indeed, my prayer and my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds’.” (Al-An`am 6:162)
Consequently, God’s purpose for the universe is compatible with His purpose for man, and His purpose for man is compatible with the universe he lives in
The entire universe, dear ones, obeys Allah (Exalted be He); in a state of submission to Allah, declaring His glory
And if man rebels against His lord they become discordant with this universe
And if man is rebellious they become incompatible with huge universe which relates to Allah by worship and obedience
The entire universe moves in one direction, he in the opposite
Whoever disbelieves – upon him is the consequence of his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness – they are for themselves preparing. (Ar-Rum 30:44)
Allah has created innumerable distinct creatures none knows them but their Creator, your obedience, oh you slave!, to Allah is for yourself, and your disobedience is against yourself, and you will by no means do harm to Allah
In Muslim, the Prophet (peace be upon him) says:
“O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any man of you,
that would not increase My domain a thing. O My slaves, were the first of you, and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any man of you,
that would not decrease My domain in a thing.
O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to stand in one place
and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have,
any more than a needle decrease the sea if put into it.
O My slaves, it is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for, ‘
so let him who finds good (i.e., in the Hereafter) praise Allah and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.”
if you commit a sin in secret don’t ever say……… ‘it was in secret’ but say Allah is ever a Watcher over me
And never think that Allah is unaware, for even an hour, of what you do…and that He does know what you conceal
