Worship Allah As If You See Him

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends,

I pray that you are well.

This world is about Allah's handiwork. The universe is Allah's mirror through which the Beauty and Perfection of Allah is reflected. So whoever wants to look to Allah, then look at the mirror through which Allah's Attributes are reflected.

People of Allah see Allah in the universe. When they look at the rain, they don't merely see water falling from the sky, they see Al-Razzaq who has determined the provisions for His creation. When they see the clouds being gently pushed along the sky to the destined place, they see Al-Latif, the Subtle, the Gentle, the Kind. They see that no one can stop these clouds. They see Al-Qawiyy who is unstoppable. They see the clouds going to where they are needed and giving what it is needed to bring forth life after the earth was dead and they see Al-Khabir, Al-Alim, Al-Hakim. So they see all these beautiful traits.

For these people, it is not hard for them to reach a station where they worship Allah as if they see Him, which the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned is excellence in religion--to worship Allah as if you see Him.

These are the people who sees Allah in everything. His Names and Attributes are the keys to it. Someone like that, it is hard to imagine getting depressed and getting stressed. Someone like that they take whatever life gives them and look to Allah in everything.

Iman Ahmad said, "My happiest day is the day when I wake up and there is absolutely nothing. Why? Because these were the days that I completely rely on Allah." There is a sweetness in relying on Allah completely which nothing else can match. Many of the scholars had statement like that. These are truly the scholars.

May Allah guide us to excellence in worship and bring us closer to Him. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. JazakAllahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
