I have shared about my life with honesty always. Honesty is the only gift I have. No further skill I got.
I have mentioned I wasn’t religious as growing person. When my mother would make me get up early in the morning to say prayer or read holy book I would be irritated like normal children of my age. In early teen, My grandfather had gifted me some heavy religious books which I tried to read honestly because I loved reading always but they were packed with extreme thoughts and threats for the sinner . My little mind couldn’t grasp that How Creator of such Huge universe can think such small way so I returned them. I would rather love to sit with grandparents and ask them to tell stories. I still feel lucky I could spent some time with them.
Anyway, my views regarding religion remained cold till my thirties only because I couldn’t find anyone who can inspire me to get close look of the matter. I would participate in religious rituals like prayer,fasting without comprehension of what they mean actually. But my longing to do everything with absolute honesty kept me anxious.
In 2011 when I felt devastated and heartbroken after the death of my parents , I tried many things to attain peace of mind but nothing worked.
God has plans for everything. He had for me as well. He knew me more than I knew myself. He knew my desire to get close to him. He knew how to give a way. He used trauma of the loss of my parents to pull me towards Him . And guided me to the path that could reveal Truth to my heart eventually.
Reading Quran wasn’t any help for understanding religion for some early years because it was not my aim at all. I would open the holy book after everyone was gone only to feel less lost and alone. Like a drowning man would try to hold anything floating by to stay up.
But when, with time i realized that my grief was soothed and i was able to focus on what was before my eyes ,i started to concentrate on the topics and stories mentioned within Quran . with repeated reading in more than a decade i slowly, was able to feel connected to the main theme of the holy book. My mind has a habit of connecting things quickly in the background while my eyes are focusing on things present before. It helps lot in solving thriller ,suspense and mystery movies or books.
When i would read Quran my mind would connect it's theme .message or subject with scientific theories and daily human life quietly.
This deepened my interest in science and what it says about Maker of the universe and everything within it.
But today it is not the topic .
I just want to share what Inspired me most in our holy book so i could first of all trust it from within fully and relate with what it says to some extent.
Like all other holy books Quran also describes world as place for test of our Faith. And that life for people with Faith will be easier than those who don't have Faith .
What touched my heart most is that it invites towards goodness and equality of everyone regardless of race ,gender ,coulor and possession . It says that just having of tag of any religion cannot make one go to heaven (or live an easy life ) but having eemaan which means a healthy mindset with positive and harmless attitude can lead to a happy life because he gains the will of Creator with him!
According to Quran Since the beginning world was given only one Religion ,Religion of God .To make people live a life with goodness and harmony. Though this Religion was named differently during different time periods by various nations but basic subject never changed !
According to our holy book the only thing that is important for the Creator in human is their humanity and piety of their character . Piety of character means that he lives a harmless life for people around him and does no corruption in society which can lead to mental and physical destruction . Any of such sin is counted as unforgettable sin in the eyes of God .Though personal mistakes are considered forgettable . Because no one will be accountable for what others did.
Quran asks his people to have Faith in One God, Who Created everything.
Have Faith on that since world has been created He has sent so many of His Messengers ( according to myth here one lac 24 thousand) to remind us about the promise He has taken from us when we were only souls .Promise to be good to us and to all around on earth.
The names and stories of Muses ,Christ and many other prophets are mentioned as confirmation of the Truth they brought to the world. While it is also said that Denying any of it will be considered the Denial of all prophets and God Himself.
In the explanation it is also mentioned that No part of land is spared from God's messengers including China and India. ( which shows acknowledgment of universal guidance for all nations equally)
Have Faith on all the holly Books He has sent through the hearts of His Messengers so people can stay up to date about their task here .
Have Faith on the judgement day ,that universe will end ( like everything else) someday and people will return to their Creator and will be questioned about their doings.
I realized through my daily life observation that how important it is for everyone to have concept of right and wrong. because when even one person in the family avoids it or one even one person in the parliament avoids it things get messy and complicated for all around them .
Today we see that most of the people have lost the concept of good and bad which is resulting in the horrible world we live today.
Forgive me but it is hard to believe that everyone has his own right and wrong. This idea supports a thief who robs others because he thinks this is the only option but it does not go with normal people .
I believe that science helped us to understand that laws of physics work same way everywhere in our universe . Therefore we can see that in nature everything is working in harmony to where it belongs. Such as if each petal in the flower decides to take different path a flower can never be shaped .
Similarly in our body if one organ fails to do it's duty we fell sick .
I admit that whatever is happening in the world is also part of nature's law of constant change and evolving.
But having Consciousness make us responsible for better manifestation i believe.
I shared my thoughts honestly once again and i hope my friends who will read the whole post will share their thoughts as well .
Thank you so much for bearing with me dear friends !
Health ,Peace and Happiness to all of you and to all you love!
