<span>Many of us come to a flash-point in our lives where we find we must search for 'the truth'.</span>
<span>Something keeps ticking away inside us, driving us on. Some auto-danger signal inside our minds that keeps 'ringing alarm bells'. We don't realise it and we don't acknowledge it most times. For most of the time we stumble blindly in the dark with momentary flashes of light but not enough to act as a beacon. We can Kufr(verb of Kafir) - meaning we can "cover over "the truth / the light" but the warning sign is always there "Danger, Danger, Son of Adam - Judgement Day approaching". </span>
<span>Most people who visit here seem to be genuine caring souls searching for 'the truth'. Most have an elementary understanding of Islam and have more than likely browsed through the Qur'an.</span>
<span>But perhaps you didn't notice the opening address - </span>
<span>[b:5d8fe0f0f2]In fact, as for those who reject Faith; it is the same, whether you warn them or you don't, they will not believe. Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing and their eyes are covered and there is a grievous punishment for them.[/b:5d8fe0f0f2] Surat Al-Baqarah 2.6-7</span>
<span>This is the part we need to consider.....</span>
<span>[b:5d8fe0f0f2]"Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing and their eyes are covered..." [/b:5d8fe0f0f2]</span>
<span>If you are indeed truthful and genuine about wanting to know the 'truth' and have come seeking enlightenment then you must first ask God to 'unseal' you. But be warned, do not do as others have done and ask Jesus or Buddha etc.</span>
<span>Go into your bedroom and shut the door, get down on your knees and put your face on the ground (like a slave does before his king in the movies)</span>
<span>and say.....</span>
<span>[b:5d8fe0f0f2]Allah.....I am a son of Adam</span>
<span>And I come seeking the truth </span>
<span>If heaven and hell be true </span>
<span>I do not want to be counted amongst the losers </span>
<span>Please 'unseal' me </span>
<span>And show me the truth. </span>
<span>Ameen.[/b:5d8fe0f0f2]</span>
<span>Practice this and recite it over and over. You know it's true. Seek and ye shall find. Ask and the seal will be opened.</span>
<span>May Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful, Lord of all the Worlds and all creation guide you to the straight path. </span>
