We Are Drowning In His Kindness

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Qur'an Al-Fatiha 1:2

وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

"And He is God. There is no god but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) be brought back." Qur'an The Story 28:70

إِنَّ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ
ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمًۭا وَقُعُودًۭا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَٰذَا بَٰطِلًۭا سُبْحَٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

"Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,- Men who celebrate the praises of God, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire." Qur'an AleImran 2:190-191

Allah is the only One who knows Allah. He praises Himself and He praises the believers. He made the believers really special. He call them the best of creatures and that is His kindness to them.

Our praise of Him is His blessing to us. So every praise we do is His kindness to us. We are drowning in His kindness.

If you don't know who you are praising then you are not really praising. If we are ignorant about Allah, we haven't really praising Him because we don't know what we are saying. That is why we should learn the Names of Allah and we learn to interact with His Names and to see the Names. The more we learn about Allah, the truer our praise of Him really is.

When we see the Names we become extremely humble before the Named and that is how we approach gratitude and slavehood to Allah. When we praised Him, our praise is a great praise with respect to us because it is praised from the knowledge of the One being praised, and we only do it out of our slavehood to Him not because that really is His praise. No praise is fitting for Him except for His praise for Himself. As for the one ignorant of Him then his praise suffers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And Praise to God, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds. Qur'an As-Saffat 37:182

And Allah knows best. Please keep us in your night prayers. JazakAllahu khairan.

Wassalaam
