My Journey Towards God.

[Muslimah]

:bismillah:

. There is a prolonged sense of awe... perhaps a sense of smallness in the face of something immense. But, I wouldn't say that it is fear - not in the sense that I understand fear.


. I think there is no need to fear a God who WANTS you to succeed. namaste


Mahasvapna

salam Mahasvpana,


Your first statement is Sobhan Allah so expressive, true we are extremly small in face of something immense to an undescriable degree. The feeling u get when u read this expression is so true.


however, let me tell u, although u didnt ask me how I fear Allah. Actually, the word fear in Islam is used in two senses. Matter of fact, a Muslim must always maintain a dual status towards Allah, it must be between hope and fear. Hoping for Allah 's Promised Mercy and pardon and fear of Allah's punishment. The other type of fear, is what is mentioned in the Ayah Faris quoted for u which is the beginning of the 2 chapter (Surah BAqarah).


This fear as expressed in English is not exactly the fear we are talking about. If u want to tranlate it better which is Taqwa. The word Taqwa is derived from Ytaqi, this means to avoid, to stay away from, to protect one against more than fear. But because the arabic language is so


However, let me tell u how I fear Allah, I fear that Allah Would See me or look at me while i doing something that does not Please Allah.


Alhamdulelah Allah Allowed me to develop this sense of deep feeling of Allah's Presence at everytime. Usually this is what i tell people, if u think for one moment before u do or say anything, u would reconsider lest this would be the last thing before u meet Allah. Certainly no one likes to meet Allah.


As for the protection part;


, when I sing these words, in my heart they have begun to mean, "God protect me from the source of Doubt, from that which would divide or weaken my faith, from all will which is not yours." Perhaps there is deeper meaning, in fact there undoubtedly is. But this is a beginning, and one must know oneself if one would know God.



Mash a Allah Glory be to Allah, that Allah Inspired u with those sources of evil that we need protection against.


Mahavspna, I suggest that u keep using the supplication.


Let me tell u more, I suggest also that u play from the same source I gave u Chapter 2 Surat Baqarah. Then sit in this place and pray to Allah, as I told u on that other thread, when u do so, pray to Allah and only Allah without focusing on any other entity.


Pray deep and hard for guidance on evey matter. And I echo what my brother Faris said, and I did tell u this before, u didnt pass by here haphazarodly. Allah Willed for u. The more u sincerely pray the more u get close and get the truth Insh aAllah. soon Mahavspna
