A Look Inside:
Trust
"Verily! Allah commands that you should
render back the trust to those to whom
they are due…" Surah 4:58.
No trust no faith. Imagine yourself standing on top of a bench with arms folded and your eyes shut. A group of people standing behind you urging you to fall backward and that they'll catch you. The feeling of anxiety starts to surge through your stomach; your heart begins pumping fast and sweat spring off your face in little-wet balls. A voice in your head is telling you to trust them; another voice is saying "forget it! No way." Like a fork in a road, you find yourself being split in half, but you can only choose one way to go. A decision must be made; trust or no trust? Begin with trust. Without trust, you will fail. Where there is no trust one will find the effects of doubt, suspicion, uncertainty, mistrust. If you submit yourself to God as a Muslim then you must trust Allah. You must trust him through the difficulties in life, and the good times in life. You must trust Allah in all areas of life, good and bad. Allah will guide you, comfort you and protect you when you trust him in all things.
Think to yourself in times of decision, "I will trust God and I will fall backward into His strong loving arms." Trust.
"And he (Satan) swore to them both
(Adam and Eve) that he was their sincere advisor"
Surah 7:21
The life of man is as a budding flower. In the bloom of his life, he is beautiful and young, experiencing the joys of living with all the foolishness he desires; living seamlessly immortal days of youth until time touches him, and he notices that he is growing old. If it is God's will, his knowledge and experiences will develop into maturity that will in time grow to become wisdom. He will become like those before him, a storehouse of knowledge and experiences for those seeking truth and understanding.
The life of a man is as a withering flower. Once, being beautiful and young, he now stands gray and bent. Pray that Allah grants you guidance as you travel through life's journey. Seek to become wise and not a foolish old man. Seek advice from those whom Allah has made wise and be ever mindful that age does not equal wisdom. Choose your advisers carefully.
Adviser
Peace is…
A soft breeze brushing against the soul
a friend holding my hand
Peace is…
A word of faith
a prayer to The Loving One
Peace is…
A quiet place of perfume and beauty
A God who cares and loves me.
PEACE IS…
“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”
Surah 13:28
