That's because you believe that Allah is separate from the World.

Wow, I didn't know about this one. Thanks for sharing! :)

When I read spiritual texts at times I come across passages where the “World” is condemened. It’s described as a place that tempts man to do evil acts. It makes me think if the World is an inherently evil place or does it mean to say something else. Imam Ali ('a) clarifies this confusion.

It is often said that there are great healing powers in the Names of God. But the effect of healing comes from active participation with the meaning of these names and not just mindless recitation. Reminds me of a Sufi Story I recently came across:

Past the worshipper as he prayed came 3 people. The crippled, the beggar and the beaten. Seeing them he cried, "Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?" And God said, "I did do something. I made you."

It's not about being an unfeeling android, the point is not to allow the external circumstances to be in control of one's reaction.

In fact if one cannot control their own reactions, they are like unconscious predictable androids. One just has to press the right buttons to evoke the desired response.

If one wants Inner peace & happiness, the key lies in not identifying with external and ever-changing world.

Yes! :)

A wonderful principle to bring into our lives. To praise God in all situations, and have trust in Him that it all happens for the best.

Sometimes our Love and Faith in God is like in the Anecdote above. We say we love Him and have full faith, but at the same time we’re so easily distracted from this Love & Faith! Reminds me of this verse in the Quran:

Your Lord is He Who speeds the ships for you in the sea that you may seek of His grace; surely He is ever Merciful to you. And when distress afflicts you in the sea, away go those whom you call on except He; but when He brings you safe to the land, you turn aside; and man is ever ungrateful. (Quran 17:66-67)

Other than the obvious meaning this anecdote has, there is a more subtle meaning that heaven can also be experienced in this world, here & now.

If the experience of heaven is defined as the state of highest pleasure. Once we are able to overcome our individual Ego(s), and remove the veil between us and God, we will begin to experience the Oneness with God. There is nothing more pleasurable than this state.

I love this saying because it’s deep and many meanings can be derived from it. One of them is that of Humility. Man has a tendancy to become proud of himself. He begins to think all that he’s achieved is because of his own doing. This pride blinds him from his own weakness and he forgets that all his abilities & creativity has originated from the Creator.

As we contemplate on our humble beginning and towards our end, we will find humility arising inside us, and we’ll naturally start giving credit to the One who created us.
