Our creator gave life to our souls, in physical forms and placed us on Planet Earth to inhabit it. He gives all life forms frequency, eyes, ears. He gave man, the greatest creation of all, speech, complex brains, and greatest of all, hearts that have emotion: the ability to feel, and love. Love, by the way, is single-handedly the most powerful force in the universe.
Our selves are meant to explore the planet given to us, to meet others, interact with them, share ourselves, and just…be. Most of all, we are to seek knowledge. Some of it comes from books, some of it comes from age, some of it comes from listening. A lot of it comes from service and experience. And so we discover who we are…only after we’ve made as many memories as we possibly could, and define ourselves by it. We should be fearless and seize the possibilities because there are so many given to us.
All life forms on this planet, are finite. Who you become eternally is defined by your actions and accomplishments whilst on earth. Now, circumstances and environment make situations difficult sometimes, and nobody said it was easy… but the world keeps going, and so does life. So now’s your chance to seize it and make it count. And remember, be you while doing it…everyone else is taken.
The recipe? Faith, courage, hope, love, respect, honor, dignity, integrity, responsibility, appreciation, knowledge, wisdom, guidance. You will make it. Centuries have.
What you must understand and master is self-love and respect, because this eternal journey begins and carries on through time and space with yourself. Only you can experience it. Know your role and identity– and just live it– the best you can. Don’t worry, God takes care of most things, you just have to accept or handle them. You won’t lose if you just learn to relax and remember, you’re in good hands. He has a plan for you, and He did before you even existed. Your ability to love, be drawn to certain people, your speech, voice, physical beauty, even your personality…these are gifts from God. Not to mention, your family, your wealth, your circumstance. Don’t compare yourself to others; be inspired by the greater, and be stronger than the weaker. But most importantly, know you are who you are, and are only capable of knowing that much. You don’t know truly about who you perceive to be greater, nor who you perceive to be weak.
Each living thing has value- it is a forever thing, and it’s righteous just the way it is. The people you meet, lives you touch, things you do are permanent. So do it right. You will transform through time, and at every given moment, will be exactly where you are meant to. You will always become stronger. But what won’t change is your heart, and those who have touched it, or your memories, or your frequency.
I pray to Allah t’ala that the moments He has planned for us, and brings forward to us, be experienced in the best way for us. May He give us the tawfiq to learn how to recite the Qu’ran and memorize it, and use all our body parts in the best forms. Our tongues to pray, our eyes to see the beauty of His creations, our touch to warm our loved ones, our hands to work and earn a fair living, our legs to move forward toward wonderful experiences. I pray, the people we meet, the food we enjoy, the actions we commit, are all good for us, and that no calamity befalls us that we cannot bear. May Allah t’ala protect us and our loved ones. Ameen.
