اكتشاف غير جديد بالمرة .. لكنه جديد بالنسبة لي ..
يبدوا انه حتى المُسلمات لا تصبح مُسلمات إلى ان نستشعرها ونلمسها ونعيشها بشكل شخصي ، ساعتها فقط تصبح مُسلمات وحقائق مؤكدة. أدركت وتأكدت أن الحب والتعلق الشديد بأي انسان غير الله شعورمؤذي جدا .. أهالينا وأولادنا وأصحابنا وأحبابنا.. اليوم معنا وغداً ذاهبون .. اليوم هم مصدر فرحتنا وغداً سبب حسرتنا والمنا.. لأنهم لابد في يوم ما مفارقين أو منصرفين.
صدقت وآمنت انه ليس هناك شيء دائم ولا باق إلا الله .. هو الوحيد الذي لا يتركنا..

Amira, allow me to share with u another story related to ur thread…
ردحذفWhen I was younger (Still young I guess :)); I examined the image my society and culture offered for GOD; I found myself accepting and receptive like the majority of people around me…But I noticed that the acceptance was only intellectual, but was not deeply rooted in my heart...
I grow a bit, learned how to use the device between my ears :), widened my perspective a bit, examined the same subject…Seemed to me that the definition of GOD for most of my society (and probably most other societies) is more of a silent gentleman agreement between the members of the society… GOD for youngsters is what parents "Administer"... GOD for parents is what grandparents "Administer" and so on… In addition; always in the background, there are men who call themselves "men of religion/GOD". Their job is to explain to society who is GOD and teach us the path to GOD as captured by our ancestors…
Layers above layers of information about GOD, transferred for thousands of years from generation to generation, shaped along the way by evolving cultures and societies, empowered by men who seek power and status…The result is a deformed image for most people - Not all though - accepted silently with lots of exclamations!!! and question marks ??? or completely ignored!!!???
I wondered: Does this process pass the test of Authenticity and Divinity potentially needed to capture an image of a Supreme Being!? Only the moments back then when I can get rid of my prejudice and preconceptions can I see that this process fails to explain the Supreme in a way that roots itself in ones heart…solid rooting…solidddd…
That paradigm shift in my believes was a start of a horrifying thought…A thought of being left In the middle of nowhere…away from the herd, alone, naked, and deceived….This was how I felt years ago…I thought: I must settle or else return back to the herd defeated, oppressed, and hypocrite…
And settled I did…Like a small boat in the middle of a dark ocean, standing still, hopeless of any ground to settle on…slowly but surely guided by a soft hint of wind blowing in the right direction of The Paradise…
I now know "Where GOD is”… My GOD is rooted in my heart….
I also now know "What GOD is not”…My GOD is not what most others are trying to explain…
My GOD can Only be known directly from “With In” and not from “With Out”…and definitely without a middle man….
My GOD is soooo Gentle…soooo Powerful….HE is the Only beacon to Himself…HE guides me out of the dark to where there is no Fear and no Sadness…to Paradise…
My GOD is available for anyone and everyone who search for HIM within (Heart) and not without (People living or dead). HE is available now… always …and forever…
No creature can do the same..no creature can do the same…no creature can do the same… ONLY GOD
