I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim
The believer is never lonely.
Even when we think we have nothing, we have Allah, and Allah is everything. [b]One of Allah’s names is [i]Al-Wadood[/i], The Most Loving, and this is appropriate because a Creator must have love in order to create works of beauty and power. Allah created us out of love. He created us with intent. He created us to succeed, not to fail, and He gave us all the tools that we need to thrive. Let's open our eyes and see what a miracle we are, what a thing of beauty, what a gift to the world. I see that in every person I know. Do you see it in yourself?[/b]
Is not the help of Allah close by? Certainly it is. Allah says,
[Quran 40:60]
[quote]“Call upon Me and I will respond.”[/quote]
I don't tire on calling on Him. I don’t despair from receiving His Mercy. Despair is a sign of disbelief. Allah. It all starts with Him – the universe, humanity, and my own conception – and it all comes back to Him in the end. There’s no victory without Him, no progress, no peace. When I strengthen my relationship with Him in the easy times, I will find Him beside me in the hard times.
No one should ever be depressed by his or her worldly situation as long as he or she is walking on the path leading to Paradise. Attaining Paradise is the great objective of this life, and the person who gains it is victorious, regardless of what he or she achieved in the world.
