GETTING TO KNOW ALLAH WELL AS MUSLIMS

✿ BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem ✿

————————————–
Do you want to know ALLAH? Do you strive to obey ALLAH? Do you yearn to please ALLAH? Do you consider and ask yourself these questions daily? Do we reflect on who Almighty ALLAH is in our prayers? Do we understand the power of ALLAH when we stand before HIM? Do we actually fear ALLAH that HE can end our life today, inflict us with illness etc because of our disobedience or as trial to our claim to be conscious of HIM?

Do you also know ALLAH is more merciful than our own mothers upon us to forgive our sins if we repent sincerely?. If it’s not ALLAH whom you desire to please, if it’s not ALLAH whom you turn to, then where would you go to? Who would look after you and shelter you, aid you and protect you other than ALLAH? You were created in this world for a purpose, for a reason, and that is to know ALLAH. Do we not exist in this world except to know ALLAH and to worship HIM? ALLAH in HIS glorious Quraan says, “And I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship ME ALONE.”

In order to worship ALLAH you must strive to become closer to HIM, know HIM. You must ponder the attributes of ALLAH in order to try to know HIM. In order to fear and love ALLAH, we are required to know HIM. Part of our worship is to know ALLAH. Whenever anything other than ALLAH is in our hearts, whenever any other than ALLAH is the ONE WHOM we love and submit to, then we invite corruption into our hearts and it leads to our destruction. Knowing that ALLAH is the cause of life for the individual is the second birth that every person who believes in ALLAH will experience.

There is no doubt that knowing ALLAH is the greatest and noblest of knowledge. It is the Ilm, the beneficial knowledge we are encouraged to seek. When you learn about ALLAH, you are learning about the purpose of your existence. You are learning about living a life set on the right course. To know HIM then study HIS attributes, The 99 attributes are enough, study the Qur’an as a priority in life.

May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) aid us in our efforts to know HIM better and to act only to please HIM
