God’s Love for His best creation: Mankind

Posted by: Sheraz Alvi in Weekly Blog

Al-Quran-Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
3:76 Nay, but [God is aware of] those who keep their bond with Him, [59] and are conscious of Him: and, verily, God loves those who are conscious of Him.

Oh my dear God I just want to share this with everyone that besides having all the love around me I have now realised that when ever in my life at any moment when I felt missing someone, felt my heart craving for an unknown thirst to be loved and to love someone ……….my soul has always been looking for YOU and YOUR love oh most Merciful and Beautiful One. Though you have been close to me always but its the times when I am away from you that my craving becomes more and more. MY soul starts to dim with every second of time dripping through my hands. Its only YOU who then make me come back again and again, its only YOU that makes those colours come back in my life.

Its strange how the same time and same people and same world becomes so sad so grey when I tend to move away from you. I havent seen YOU but I guess my soul takes the light from YOU as it starts to dim every time I am moving away from YOU.

Strange isn’t it that for one to believe in YOU and know about Your love all he has to do it is look at the love around him. Like his mother loving him as a baby and cherishing him/her to the every moment in his life, his wife caring for him and his friends respecting him. What is that why is this pure and sincere love coming to to him???? Its you God showcasing how much you love him/her how much you care but its us who dont look at love in that perspective. I have now known that a soul can achieve peace only after realising this truth no matter what every ones religion is being human we need to understand and feel the love with which You created us as a first step.

If everything happens and comes from Your Will and everything has a reason then what else be the reason of love around me then YOU showing YOUR most loved creation MAN, the Love and care with which YOU have created us. All we can give back is to try to love you back at least one drop of the level YOU love us. Is that difficult?

Love comes from heart without any force and hence we have free will in life to do anything we think right. This is the way of God knowing who amongst us are the ones who realise HIS love and prove that we are worthy of His love. If God would have forced us to Love and worship Him then that would not have been love, it becomes a job, a hassle and no one not even a small child wants to be loved in that manner. Love is spontaneous without any influence or order. You cant order someone to love you even if he starts doing it that is not love obviously. So why do people say if God had wanted everyone would have been in the same religion and belief. This life is temporary remember what ever is temporary has a reason relating to something in the future.

I do seriously think now what is the problem with everyone then why cant they understand, that this life is a test for us to show how pure at heart we are and how worthy we are to be loved by our God for eternity.

“We have to prove our existence and our worthiness to be eligible for God’s true love and blessings for eternity. ARE WE DOING ENOUGH???? Knowing the fact the life is ending in max 80-100 years for us?????”

Quran - Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
3:140 - If misfortune touches you, [know that] similar misfortune has touched [other] people as well; for it is by turns that We apportion unto men such days [of fortune and misfortune]: and [this] to the end that God might mark out those who have attained to faith, and choose from among you such as [with their lives] bear witness to the truth - since God does not love evildoers.

What is so complicated to understand then? the reason we are here is to prove our existence and worthiness…..cant we do it? There isn’t even a scale for that we are just being asked to make an effort and try to do our best. What is so complicated about that???? Try your best at least you can say I made my best effort God. Why are you so tangled in the artificialy created fuss we call world and life, which is mere 70-80 years the max on average and of which you have already spent a big chunk to reach to this point reading or writing this sort of stuff. Alas its just a start for me and you. The journey hasnt even started and we are thinking we are there and will be in God’s blessed lap without doing anything that shows that we are making an effort to achieve it.

Time is running out….think!!! Remember even if you nod to what I have said above its still a start not enough to get us through. I feel this about myself dont know about anyone but I feel we are just getting started. May God Bless us beside our foolishness and sins!!!

Meditate Everyday - How to meditate?

Posted by: Sheraz Alvi in Meditation

How to meditate?

Sit along in a dim lit room and lock the door and sit with your arms and legs open or lie down with arms and legs separate.
Your cloths should be soft and relaxed.
Ideally you should wash your hands, face, arms and feet to feel clean or even take a quick shower.
Loban or some good perfume that you like can also help but not necessary.
Choose a time when the house is quite after dinner or at sunrise is quite a good time.
Breathing is essential so start with deep breathing. Imagine when you are breathing you are new possibilities and new energy. When you breath out you are breathing out you are exhaling all your worries and troubles. Imagine your worries are flying away with your breath.
Your spine should be straight because it enables proper flow of energy in your body.
Try to sit in the center of a room as all the energy of anything are focused towards its center. So it kind of helps but not necessary.
Now imagine Allah’s name is in front of you and you are diving into its rays and they are covering you atom by atom. Imagine a calm white soothing light is falling over you.
While breathing imagine a place of calm and prosperity beside soothing calm water and green pastures. While sitting near the water imagine the white light falling on your head and then absorbing in your body and giving you all the confidence that you will take away with you.
You are getting weightless. Do this everyday for 10 - 20 minutes.

You will start to feel the change in your body and in your life. ALLAH means GOD so if you are non Muslim imagine GOD or anyone you worship obviously your prayers go to the Sovereign ONE, the sole creator of everything the one and only GOD. When ever you are stress believe me this will help you like anything. And if your meditation is towards Allah and His love then it becomes prayer. And when prayer then its becomes more then a mediation so it helps you beyond a normal meditation. Meditation is a physical and spiritual excersise so try to attain both benefits and if your bring in God then it becomes a prayer to.

Meditation is a journey from concious mind to the sub-conscious and building a bridge of understanding between these two. When your concious mind becomes aware of the the sub-concious you can then be in more control of everything happening in your life. As its is 100% true that you are what you think your are.

It ideal that you set a proper time for meditation and specially 2 hours after eating your dinner. If you do it right after eating you will tend to sleep rather then meditate.

Use the following meditation music that will help you focus better.
