Before you ask me, “Why can’t I see God, if He is really there?”
I will ask you, “Can you see ‘ALL’ the creations of God?”
Can you see the air? But you still believe there is air right? You can’t even see the ‘cells’ from which you are made up of. Can you see your brain? But you still believe you have brain right?
erm..okey may be you scan yourself and show me you have brain, but what about the generations which passed without these scanning facilities? Did they admit they don’t have brain?
Can you see the sun blazing in the mid noon? You need coolers, sunscreens, umbrellas to help yourself from it.
After all a creation of God is so powerful like it makes blind.
WHAT ABOUT IT’S CREATOR??
HOW MUCH POWERFULL WILL BE THE ONE WHO CREATED ‘THE SUN’? HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGEABLE WILL BE THE ONE WHO CREATED ‘THE CELL’?
Just because you don’t see it, that doesn’t mean its not there!
I will tell you the story of Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) who wished to see God.
Moses (Peace be upon him) was in deep love with God and he wanted to see Him without a veil. Remember, he was the one to whom God spoke directly. Now lets see what God says,
“And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [Allah] said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, “Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers.”” [AlQur’aan Chapter ‘The Height’ 7:143]
Look the mountain burst to pieces. Imagine the big giant mountain couldnt bear it’s Lord, WHAT ABOUT WE? And thats why Moses (Peace be upon Him) fell unconscious.
And remember our Lord said to him, “You can never see Me!”
A man to whom God spoke directly can never see Him, what about we?? Do we have more strength than the mountain which collapsed??
Ofcourse not, so shut your mind YOU CAN NEVER SEE HIM!
And to those who claim they see God daily, like their neighbour…surely they are seeing something but that’s not their (our) God. Then what is that? You need to wait a few more weeks to know it!!
See, WE CAN NEVER SEE GOD, then what makes you to picturize Him. HOW DARE YOU DO IT?
But don’t worry, it is only this world.
Those who believe in Him, and do righteous deeds in the way He mentioned will surely see Him in the Day of Judgement and in Paradise.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “The Day Of Resurrection is the first day any eye will look at Allah, the All-Great and All-Glorious”[Collected by Daraqutni & Darimi]
Sahih AlBukhari, Characteristics of Prayer 12: 770
Narrated Abu Huraira: The people said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” He replied, “Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?” They replied, “No, O Allah’s Prophet!” He said, “Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?” They replied in the negative. He said, “You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way.”
“[Some] faces, that Day, will be shining and radiant. Looking at their Lord.“ [AlQur’aan Chapter ‘The Resurrection’ 75:22-23′]
So definitely we can see our Lord in the Hereafter, The One whom we worship daily in our life, The One whom makes us breathe till this second, The One who shows mercy even to those who deny Him.
IF WE WORSHIP HIM IN THE WAY HE SAID US TO.
Wisdom behind not seeing God in this life:
I admit I can’t see God in this life, but why?
There will be a reason behind each and every act of God, right?
So definitely there will be a reason behind not seeing God too!
It’s not a mystery, we will get once we think about it.
Imagine, if God is visible to us will anyone deny His presence?
Ofcourse not, and all of the human beings will be believers!!
If God wishes to make all of us as believers, definitely He can. There are 10s of verses in the Qur’aan stating that, “If God willed, He would have made you one nation”.
Few examples,
“And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed – all of them entirely.” [AlQur’aan Chapter ‘Jonah’ 10:99]
“Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so raise to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.” [AlQur’aan Chapter ‘The table spread with food’ 5:48]
“He has created the death and life, so that He may test you which of you are best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving” [AlQur’aan Chapter ‘The Dominion’ 67:2]
These verses are quite self explanatory, if God willed He would have made us all worship Him. But what He willed is to stay invisible and test who among us is going to worship Him and do righteous deeds.
We are in no way questioning Him! Whatever He wills, we just obey Him!
But readers! Even though He is invisible, He gaves us all means to know Him. He sent us numeroussss Prophets. He sent us His words. He gave us brain, wisdom, knowledge, reason to know that He is there now and always.
Now it is upto us, to decide whether we should believe in God or not! It is upto us to decide whether we should enter His Paradise or not!
Points to Note:
1. I cannot see God. 2. If I cannot see God, then I can never picturize Him too. 3. But I can see Him in the hereafter, if I worship Him in the way He wants me to be. 4. If God had willed, we all would worship Him. 5. But He willed, only to test who among us are best in deeds.
Now that we realized ‘there is a God’, we need to make sure that everything is not God.
Two types of extremists are out there. One who says ‘There is no God’ and the other says ‘Everything is God’.
For the 2nd group whatever they see is God.
Bench God, desk God, u God, me God, tree God, stone God.
Yes… u r right …Hinduism concept… (If you really know…Hinduism doesn’t preach this concept it is ‘Hindus’ who do it without any religious basis)
Even a child will not say everything is God…
If it knows chair cannot be a God,
Pencil cannot be a God,
Car cannot be a God,
Pig cannot be a God.
Because of this concept, Hindus worship idols…
They say, “God is manifest in ‘everything’ (!!!!) But He is more manifest in gold, silver, brass, certain kinds of rocks. So we make idols out of them and we worship the God inside it”
Simple question, “Where did you get this from? Do you have any religious basis for that?”
“Is that because some ‘man’ told you or is it the word of God?”
For the 1st part of ur answer…u urself know that God is not manifest in everything… and for ur 2nd part u should have a proof for it.
See, because of your dangerous concept of ‘Everything is God’ people fall in various evil things including worshipping the natural elements like sun, moon and animals like cows, monkeys..
Worship is something which God deserves. He only He deserves it.
He is the One providing for u…making u breathe… making u read this all way… but YOU ARE WORSHIPPING THINGS OTHER THAN HIM!!
What is this? This is all UNFAIR!
I watched a man in television saying, “We are benefiting from all these natural elements then what’s wrong in protecting and preserving them?”
No wrong! Absolutely no wrong in protecting and preserving them.
But you are worshipping it. There is a difference between protecting and worshipping.
Natural elements deserve our protection but not our worship.
They are ‘created’ by God for the purpose of benefiting us. It is God who deserves our worship, not these creations.
Come we both can protect them but if you call me for worship, “I am sorry I WILL NOT WORSHIP THE CREATIONS BUT THE CREATOR”.
So make sure that ‘Everything is not God but Everything is God’s”.
Don’t merge the Creator withthe Creations.. He has created all these things for a purpose and how bad itis..we start worshipping the created things??
Consider these verses of ‘Your’ Lord,
“And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship.” [AlQur’aan 41:37]
“And they worship other than Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, “These are our intercessors with Allah ” Say, “Do you inform Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?” Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.” [AlQur’aan 10:18]
“Say, [O Muhammad], “Have you considered that which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth; or did they have partnership in [creation of] the heavens? Bring me a scripture [revealed] before this or a [remaining] trace of knowledge, if you should be truthful.“” [AlQur’aan 46:4]
“You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.” [AlQur’aan 12:40]
From all these things which we have seen before, can you realize that there is a God which created everything including the universe? You should be sure that nature is not God, love is not God but God is a separate entity. If not take 3 more days and think for yourself.
Still if you cannot believe that there is a God, don’t hesitate to explain your side in the comments section below.
Now we go to the next stage,
There is a God who created this world but thereafter He left the world. He has no control over it or to the lives of the people.
People who believe in this are called ‘Diests’.
Unfortunately most of us are diests. We believe in God but we say that we are free of God’s need.
“Yes there is a God but we don’t need Him” <–Most of us say this, right?
“He don’t need to tell me what the right way is, I will find it for myself” <–We are in this ugliest state.
My Dear Reader, if you are a Diest consider these points.
Point 1:
No one will create something without a purpose. Even you will not create a thing without a purpose. NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION… Isn’t it?
Even you a human will not do it, then how come the Creator of all these excellent excellent things around us, created them without a purpose?
How can you believe that YOU ARE A CREATION WITHOUT A PURPOSE?
You are just putting yourself down..
Think what ‘Your’ Lord says,
“And We did not create the heavens and earth, and all that is between them, in mere play.” [AlQur’aan 44:38]
“Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?” [AlQur’aan 75:36]
Think think think… How can we be created without a purpose?
Point 2:
“Okey!!! God created me for some purpose but I don’t want Him!” <– Are you saying this?
Oh my little brain! It is not God who needs you. IT IS YOU WHO NEED HIM.
It is you who need Him to BREATHE not your GOD.
It is you who need Him to TWINKLE YOUR EYE not your GOD.
It is you who need Him to WALK, TALK, and SMILE not your GOD.
It is you who need Him to EAT, DRINK, and SLEEP not your GOD.
It is you who need Him in EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE not your GOD!!!
Even if you say NO for all those questions, when there comes a time of necessity, when a lion is in front of you.. You will shout, “O GOD!! SAVE MEEE!!!!
Yes indeed IT IS TRUE,
“O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.” [AlQur’aan 35:15]
Point 3:
We are in need of our Lord. But to ask our needs to our Lord there are certain ways.
“What certain ways?? He should grant my wishes in whatever manner I ask Him” <–Do you say this?
Look my reader!
There are certain manners, ways for each n every act in our life. We do expect it from our fellow beings, don’t we?
Even if your kid comes n asks u, “You crazy dad/mum! Why can’t you buy a pencil for me?” What u gonna tell her? Will u get the thing for her?
Nope! You are going to teach her to be polite and to be respectfull.
And this is the way, manner she is supposed to follow.
Afterall we human beings expect this, then what about our Lord, the AllPowefull and All Praise Worthy??
Think! You will get what I mean.
Your God will provide you even if you don’t ask Him. BUT THAT WILL NOT BE AN EVERLASTING PROVISION!!
There are certain ways to get that EVERLASTING PROVISION!
And this is a very complex point. People will say, “Only I can say what the correct way is and not the God”.
So we get two sub points here,
a. Ways which people created for themselves.
b. Ways which God created for us.
Point 3a:
Ways which people created for themselves:
Unfortunately, 99.9% ways are created by people. Ways created by people for people. These ways will always have faults in them no matter how perfect we try to make them. We humans always err.
If we look at the religious side, Buddha. Buddha was a man. Even he didn’t call himself as God. The things which he said were good things nothing wrong in them. But where the problem comes is Buddha was a human. He is not here anymore. He will not know if I disobey him.
A X-Buddhist said, “I will say all the mantras of good behaviour then I will cover the statue of Buddha and start drinking wine!!”
“Why because Buddha will never know what I am doing! I am good for the outer world.”
Uhh.. THIS WILL BE RESULT OF FOLLOWING A MAN MADE WAY!
Point 3b:
Ways which God created for us:
Again this is also a very critical point. There is no doubt in saying that we should follow the ways which God wanted us to follow but what is that way?
We have numerous ways claiming that it is the Godly way.
No worries, if you do some research you will find that 99% ways have the works of men init.
May be that way will be revived, renewed, reviewed my men… Whatever it is… even if any microscopic change is done to it… IT IS NOT A GODLY WAY ANYMORE!!
Lets go deeper in the future posts, if God so wills it.
What you have to know from this post is,
1. There is a God.
2. He did not create me and this universe without a purpose.
3. God wanted us to live in a specific manner.
4. If I don’t obey Him, there is no loss for Him.
5. But I will be the loser because it is me who needs Him.
Who are WE? Where do we COME from? Why do we LIVE? Why do we DO what we do? Is there any PURPOSE behind it? Why do we DIE? Where will we go after our DEATH?
Answers to these questions and many more in an INTERESTING and HUMOROUS way. A blog to understand the 'MYSTERIES'.
I am NOT INTERESTED in the mysteries of FAIRY TALES. Why should I? when we have 'REAL' 'TRUE' mysteries RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW in our life?!
