“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Nature

‘Praise be to Allah, the worship of whom is the means of drawing closer to Him.

‘Earth, water, fire and air,All work harmoniously.

timely change of seasons promotes health and cheerfulness

alternation of day and night provides the opportunity for work and rest

‘Every leaf of tree displays Allah’s praise, Only the pious mind can hear their sacred lays.’

The ear, eyes, and all other organs, how perfectly they are adapted in shape and mechanism to the purpose which they must serve

Thank Allah ,he will give you more.

Air, earth, water, being second causes, the precedent cause, which makes them act and pause, is hidden.’

Nature manifested in numerous names and forms is still called nature, singular not plural, just as the individual combines within himself the different parts of his body, arms, limbs, eyes, ears, and is possessed of different qualities yet is one person.

God’s personality has no clear identification of its own. The answer is, that variety covers unity.

‘Hidden things are manifested by their opposites, but as God has no opposite He remains hidden. God’s light has no opposite in the range of creation whereby it may be manifested to view’ .

The wise man by studying nature enters into the unity through its variety, and realizes the personality of God by sacrificing his own.

‘I myself’—In this phrase ‘I’ is the possessor, and ‘myself’ is the possessed.

God, the unmanifested, is the possessor; and nature, the manifestation, is the possessed, which has its source hidden within itself.

The possessed could not have been created from anything other than the possessor’s own self, as there existed none but the possessor.

 Although the possessor and the possessed are considered to be two separate identities, in reality they are one.

The possessor realizes the possessed through the medium of his own consciousness

‘The universe is the manifestation of Allah, where from His own unity He created, by involution, variety — the state of various names and forms —  thereby distinguished as Allah, worthy of all praise and worship.’

Theoretical knowledge of a subject can never take the place of experience, which is necessary for realization. Written music cannot entertain us unless it is played, nor the description of perfume delight our senses unless we smell it, no recipes of the most delicious dishes satisfy our hunger.

The ideal perfection, called Baqa by Sufis, is termed ‘Najat’ in Islam .This is the highest condition attainable, and all ancient prophets and sages experienced it, and taught it to the world.

The wise man by studying nature enters into the unity through its variety, and realizes the personality of God by sacrificing his own.

When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
