Virtually Transmitted Faith

Religions & Spirituality
1

So the most pricesless of all wordings is surely the Arabic version of faithful belief in The Almighty which goes like:

La Ilaaha Illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah

No deity other than Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger

But it can also simply be translated as belief in The Almighty whether in one way or the other.

For instance, one can believe in The Almighty without even having learned how to read or write but is simply a honest person with faith in his/her heart and who is more or less a do-gooder.

2

If you’re a believer in The Maker, you will surely be one of those who know for a fact that there’s truly no ‘‘why’’ to ever be asked as a question as much as one can help oneself, to say the least.

As my South African friend, helper, and temporary roof-enabler Ivor Olsen used to say back in Chatsworth near Malmesbury, ‘‘Hey Taliban Ahmad, ‘‘Y’’ is the most crooked letter of the Alphabet!’’

3

Faith in God, although I have grown to dislike the use of the term ‘‘god’’ recently, entails being sure about:

No god but God

No goddess but The Maker, even though gender does not apply to The All-Powerful

No deity other than His Heavenly Majesty

There’s no being to be worshiped other than Allah

There’s no being worthy of worship save The Almighty

No god except Allah

No deity other than Allah

…and any of all the other various variants of faithful wordings any believer can come up with…

4

Laa ilaaha illallah rolls easily on the tongue, try saying it constantly.

It means no deity other than Allah.

5

The reality of the above post should easily give, over time, a freedom like no other.

As Neo tries to remind himself before jumping, although that would be quite a leap to undertake,

Free Your Mind

6

You would then feel free and fearless about losing anything except faith in Your Maker, The Provider of your constant life, your oxygen-Giver.

You would then be looking forward only to dying with faith in That Being Alone without having to fear losing anything other than that faith alone.

That being said, if push comes to shove, or if somebody should be in dire need, half of your possessions should easily be forgone for you would know that that would be His Will that has come knocking at your door.

7

For Muslims, it’s very easy since through practicing of the faith through the five daily prayers, you look forward to nothing more other than those daily prayers.

You make sure you get the morning prayer, on time, and then look forward to the just after midday prayer, and then the prayer of the afternoon where your shadow is at least your exact height, then the prayer after the sun has just set, and then the night prayer before you retire to bed.

Therein, you ask for Guidance, and it’s Given, simply.

You do not fear your boss at work since you’re Given the abilities and tools to do your work diligently and as best as you can.

You do not fear losing your job because you know that everything that happens is His Will.

Nothing is more important than your obedience to Him, so you do not fear hunger nor anything else for you’re looking forward only to dying with faith in Him and you know for a fact that He Will Never Burden a soul beyond its capacity, no matter what happens, you know He Is In Control of both the good and the bad, for a fact, in your heart.

8

You are then very thankful and grateful for those eyes which see perfectly and which are quite priceless, regardless of the possibility of losing them at any point in the future.

The same goes for your limbs, feet and hands, because there’s literally no price that would ever be able to get you to sell any of them, let alone the well-being of a nail and nail bed, as Veronica Roth just recently taught me through her first book ‘‘Divergent’’.

9

Glorifying Him and extolling His Greatness over the greatness of the skies of each and every country is kind of nice to enumerate through countless ‘Allahu Akbar’ on your tongue and in your heart over and over again, incessantly.

The numerous tastes that one has ever tasted, whether it be honey, condensed milk, chocolatey and whatnot, are just wonders that prompt you to question things like what about what awaits you in Paradise after death, for these are just aforetastes, as my South African friend Mawlan once mentioned.

And what about The Maker Himself? And His Appearance, or Countenance if you prefer, as concerning the beauty that surrounds us constantly, such as nature, the seas, the animals, wildlife, beautiful emotions, etc, well all of that is but a reflection of His Beauty and His Most Perfect Attributes.

10

The Attributes of The Almighty, as per Islam, are known to be ninety-nine in Essence.

Allah stands for God

Ar Rahman stands for The Most Gracious

Consider water itself which is a gracious creation through its texture and pleasantness in our bodies.

Water can thus be referred to as Abdur Rahman for it is but a servant to The Most Gracious.

11

Ar Rahim Is The Most Merciful

For Who Is The Most Merciful other than The Almighty for the creation of food and the satisfaction we obtain through it from hunger, which can be really painful sometimes, although our sustenance has already been Decreed by Him to come to us in due time, so we need not ever falter in our faith due to any lack thereof, like ever.

12

Al Malik Is The Master of everything

He Keeps each and every one of our senses of perception working through our physical organs, to say the least, whether it be our eyes, ears, tongues and taste buds, skin and sense of touch perception, nose and sense of smell, and even more among the other creatures that human beings are ignorant of, me included!

13

Al Quddus Is The Most Pure

For Who Can Be Deemed to be Pure other than The Only One Who Could Have Created water to begin with, in its purest and most limpid of forms?

For Who Can Be Deemed to be Pure Truly other than The Creator of the skies and all of their various and tremendously beautiful and awe-inspiring states?

For Who Can Be Deemed to Be Pure Truly other than The Organizer of both the human body and the oxygen that has already been Decreed for it in fixed amounts and volumes to be taken in until the death thereof and the removal of the soul therefrom?

14

As Salam Is The Perfect Peace

For Who Can Be Deemed to Be As Salam other than The Guarantor of it through faith in Him Alone, making one al Abd as Salam, the servant to His Perfect Attribute of The Provider of peace at heart, peace of mind, and even the well-being of the body!

And so on and so forth…

May He Bless everybody with the constant remembrance of His Most Beautiful Attributes, for He Is Our Maker, our very Reason for existing.

16

Al Basir Is The All-Seeing

He Sees everything that ever was and that will ever take place.

He Is Himself Beyond time and space as we know them to be.

The screen in front of me is composed of millions of pixels, right?

But what about our eyes? They are themselves made up of countless cells through which we see constantly by His Blessing.

Each and every single one of these eye cells are subject to Al Basir, The All-Seeing Being Who Enable most eyes to see and Who Makes some unable to, to different extents, as a sign so that we may reflect and be thankful to Him, His Heavenly Majesty.

17

As-Sami’ Hears every single unit of sound that’s an effect to a cause that is His creation, created for a distinct and particular purpose.

We are Blessed with ears that hear only by His Blessing.

How many are deaf that have ears?

When is the last time that I was thankful to Him for such a pleasant Blessing?

I cannot even recall although I like to believe that I am at least obedient to His Commandments, although that too is His Blessing me therewith!

He Commands us in the Glorious Qur’an to Say, ‘‘we hear and we obey’’.

18

Al Hamid Is The Praiseworthy

All Praise go to Him Alone, His Heavenly Majesty, for each and every single constant well-being of our organs, to say the least.

For the first Verse in Chapter One, Al-Fatihah, The Opening Chapter that we read during our five daily prayers,

All Praises belong to Allah, Lord of the worlds (End of Verse)

How many worlds exist?

I live in my particular world where I have my daily habits and connections.

You live in your world too, whether it’s a country, island, workstation, place of shelter, and whatnot, each and every world is pretty much the same as the other, although different to varying degrees.

Everybody have ways of seeing things, hearing things, and understanding things.

We all have different languages and patterns to which we adhere.

Who Created each and every single one of these worlds which we were nothing except an egg in the womb of our mothers?

Who Created Adam, the first man, instantly may I say?

Who Gave him, Adam, his consort?

Both Adam and Eve lived in their respective worlds, to say the least, and so do their progeny until now and the last day to come, which is the Day of Reckoning, where all matters will be Settled surely and truly by His Command Alone.

19

Only He Can Create the time as we know it.

Only He Could Have Invented the watch.

Only He Could Have Granted the mind for the invention of all things altogether too.
