Islam is a religion of peace and you discover Islam and Allah in the moment of clarity. Allah remains in our minds and hearts throughout our lives, all the phases of life are filled with the memory of Allah and a constant prayer reminds us that we are not alone and not powerful enough to fight all the battles of our lives by ourself. Sometimes the overwhelming problems of life steal our joy and throw us into the depths of despair, self-pity, depression, anger, and frustration. This is when the moment of clarity is needed. The kingdom of God is filled with zillions of creatures who all depend on his glory and power to get them through the days.
It is very important to know about your creator as a Muslim. In Islam, the primary concept of Tawhid tells us that Allah is the best friend of human beings, he is the provider of blessings and life to them. He must be searched for in your heart and through deep examination of things all around us that reflect the existence of God. Life is not a bed or roses, we face constant mishaps and disappointments. One clear voice of Allah is hard to hear when we are all tangled in our own emotions and cannot be enthusiastic about our lives. The health and financial difficulties we face are a challenge of Allah put in front of us so we can diligently seek him and his power to gain victory over the bad circumstances.
Allah wants us to be happy and prosperous beyond limits. He has promised us a good joyful life if we follow his teachings and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him in every area of our lives. Ood sends us many messages in Quran to reveal that you need a clear vision and mission to live your life, no one is born without a reason, you can all manifest the power of Islam in your lives and become the successful beings by unleashing the power of Quranic verses.
In the moment of darkness, Quran and the verses of the holy book are the light to bring us from darkness to light. As the Quran says itself:
“He will provide for you a Light to help you walk; He will forgive you your past: for God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran 57:28)
The horrifying predicaments are sometimes blessings in disguise. Not being able to understand the test of life’s hardships and complaining to Allah will only make you miserable and cannot solve the problem. No one deserves the punishment for the sins they have not done, God will never put his beloved creatures into the darkness forever, he tests us through bad times and helps us to understand that we need his armor at the time of despair to make everything clear. The moment of clarity arrives when we trust God and do what is right no matter how the circumstances are.
Things soon fall in place as soon as we remember Allah as our best and magnificent savior, Allah brings misery to try our attitude, he brings joy to try us as well. Both the situations need us to remain calm and never forget that Allah is always with us in the joy and sadness. The moment of clarity offers you many rewards as you climb every mountain and cross every sea of despair to attain a new level of spirituality and praise the lord for his tests that made you more precious than the rest. The path to Islam is the path to peace of mind, and the glory of God shines upon you with his unlimited mercy as you recognize him as your true savior.
