BUSHES IN THE SAND (The Sacred Water for Life)

As-Salaam-Alaikum (Peace be Unto You),

(1) Why does one feel empty and lonely even after praying to Allah (God) each day? (2) What has one done to have bad things to come into one’s lives? (3) Why does one feel at times that life is not worth living? Well, let us look at these three very important life questions the real way Allah (God) wants us to look at them with the spiritual eye of discernment. First of all one has to be honest and truthful with themselves about and concerning prayer to Allah (God)! Man = Male and Female both kiss Satan first before praying to Allah (God). That is right! All kiss Satan – first!

Now, what is meant by kissing Satan? Instead of praising Allah (God) first in the conscience mind one automatically inserts the Satanic mode of materialism first! That materialism varies for each individual soul, e.g., one may have gotten a new job promotion, or may have found a new spark of romance, etc., etc. So, instead of giving divine thanks for these kinds of things that bring us a joyous soul, one tends to give credit to one’s self that they made all of those so-called good things happen, without thanking Allah (God) for those so-called blessing first!! So, you see, you kiss Satan first before Allah (God). I said “so-called” blessings because when all turns sour, then one is mad at themselves and everyone else in the world, right? (no smile here)

Now, let us look at the Bush in the sand (desert). How does it maintain its beauty and life? NOTE: Not all bushes in the sand are dead! From where does it get its source of water for nourishment of life? Well, before that bush was a bush it was a seed! Allah (God) placed in that seed a vein of, and for water! Through the atmosphere’s moisture of dew, that vein channel collects and holds the dew moisture and turns it into water, or, it is water, and that bush in the sand becomes beautiful once it is hydrated. And believe me, that beautiful bush in the sand thanks Allah (God) for its life!

Now, we human beings tend to forget to thank Allah (God) first! This is when things in life go awry! Then we become angry at Allah (God), like a stubborn child. That is why Allah (God) is God, because he forgives each one of us when we throw these tantrums of us not getting what we want in our fictitious desires. Now let us keep prayer to Allah (God) first, so that he will bless us righteously! Here is a teaching story for you to contemplate on to refresh your spirit and soul.

The

Reward of a New

Life

There once lived a man and his wife in Egypt who did have much in material wealth, but their love for one another was worth more than all the gold in Africa. Then one day out of the blue yonder came Satan. The couple asked Satan, what brings ye (you) here to bother us? Satan answered them, it is my duty to see if I can persuade you to forget Allah (God). The couple said, not a chance! Satan replied, well, remember the child that you lost giving birth? The couple answered yes, and we miss him very much! Satan replied, I have him with me now, would you like to see him? The couple consulted one another and then told Satan, no, we do not want to see our child that you (Satan) have. Satan asked, why not? The couple answered, because, you are the taker of life and not the giver of life! Satan told the couple, you are correct, only Allah (God) can give life. What I, Satan, can produce is only falseness of life!

Allah (God) says, enjoy the real, avoid the untrue. All questions here have been answered. Now live and do not choose not too!!

Holy Quran, Surah 93 – Al Duha (The Glorious Morning Light)

Translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali

In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

1. By the Glorious Morning Light,

2. And by the Night when it is still –

3. Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

4. And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

5. And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
