A place to share things of benefit to Seekers as we travel through this world. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "What have I to do with this world? There is no comparison between me and this world, except to a rider who stops for shade under a tree and then goes on leaving it behind."

If the veils were lifted...
"As it's said, if the veils were lifted
you wouldn't choose for yourself other than what God has chosen."
Trans: O Son of Man! Wert thou to speed through the immensity of space and traverse the expanse of heaven, yet thou wouldst find no rest save in submission to Our command and humbleness before Our Face.
يَا ابْنَ الإِنْسانِ
ReplyDeleteارْكُضْ فِي بَرِّ الْعَماءِ ثُمَّ أَسْرِعْ فِي مَيْدانِ السَّمآءِ. لَنْ تَجِدَ الرَّاحَةَ إِلاَّ بِالخُضُوعِ لأَمْرِنا وَالتَّواضُعِ لِوَجْهِنا.

"If we had perfect power like Allah to determine our destinies,
ReplyDeleteand perfect vision like Allah to see the future and know what is best for us,
we would chose exactly the same fate that Allah has choosen for us"
