Assallamualaikum w.r.t. and Greetings ...
IN THE NAME OF Allaah, THE MOST
GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL
Allaah, The Exalted said: " Say you (0 Muhammad ): "This is my way, I invite unto Allaah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah - Islamic Monotheism) (with sure know/edge), land whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Al/ah i.e. the Oneness of Allaah - Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge. And Glorified and Exalted is Al/ah (above all they associate as partners with Him), and I am not of the polytheists. " (Al Qur'an 12:108)
Moslem is a happy soul ... the reason for this is due to two (2) things: 1. The faith (Aqidah) 2. The prayers (Solat)
1. The Faith ie Aqidah
The connection between the creation and the creator in Islam is most beautiful. The creator is God also known as Allah s.w.t..
Allah describe himself in the Quran
Quran Surah 112 Al-Ikhlas (The Unity)..
Say: He, Allah, is One.
Allah is He on Whom all depend.
He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And none is like Him
Everything comes from Allah s.w.t. ..both good and bad things come from Allah s.w.t.
Quran Al -Anaam 17
And
if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He
touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.
The reason why moslem is a happy soul :) ..
1. The beautiful bond / connection with God Allah s.w.t.
2. The fear of Allah (Allah s.w.t. is most powerful)
Regarding the bad things that happened, If we are contented with what Allah give us (redha), everything that happens (good and bad) will turn out to be good things. Refer to Quran Surah At Taubah 59
Quran Surah At Taubah 59
Would that they were contented with what Allâh and His Messenger (SAW)
gave them and had said: "Allâh is Sufficient for us. Allâh will give
us of His Bounty, and (also) His Messenger (from alms, etc.). We
implore Allâh (to enrich us)."
And my personal favourite is :
(1) La Ilaha Ilallah - There is no (other) God except Allah.
and
(2)Quran Surah Ali Imran :173
Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: "Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)."
** Notes :
** I do not how to express / explain the essence of all the above, However if we master all the above ..we will become strong, confident and achieved peace, tranquility and success .
**However, all these are my personal belief/view and I may make mistake in interpreting the teaching of islam
Above : Look at the trees ... beautiful. Temperature around 14 degrees C.
Above : At Hotel Serena lawn ...beautiful hotel with very tight security. If i remember correctly, you have to pass two checkpoint complete with very fierce looking guards with riffle and bomb detector before you can reach the hotel entrance. Once you reach the hotel, you have to get pass through security check similar to the one you encounter at the airport - the luggage scan and body scan .. and I also have Pakistani special branch officer sleeping outside my room ... whoa .. i never felt this safe in my entire life ...except when doing my tawaf in Makkah of course.
Above : In Rawalpindi to do some shopping. Rawalpindi is cheaper compared to Islamabad. The water quality here is pretty bad and seems like there is no proper garbage disposal method. However, there is a public transportation .. lorry in myriad of colours .. quite cute actually. So dissapointed i did not manage to take picture with the lorry.
Above : I could resist putting up this picture. I think its a very nice picture..location : Islamabad.
