Remembering Allah

Identify your faults or you will remain lost. It would be wise to take
a piece of paper and write down all your faults and make your intention
to purify these faults and perfect your character.

(when i say "we" i am refering to 'all creation')

We are "small", Allah is "large".

We are finite, Allah is infinite.

We are weak, Allah is powerful.

Therefore we submit to Allah because we are dependant and Allah is
independant.

Remember Allah always so that you may prosper. How do we prosper? We
prosper by being perfect. The most powerful thing we possess is dhikr
Allah. Those who get caught up in the illusion of their bills, their cars,
television etc, tend to forget Allah and drift into illusionary
thought.

Ultimately all we have is our intention. We can choose righteousness or
we can choose evil. If we purify our intention to do ONLY righteousness
and ONLY good we will become that manifestation in sha`Allaah.

If we were to remember Allah ALWAYS, we would be distant from sin.

Hate is illusion. Allah does not possess illusion.

Allah does not permeate love through the evil-doers, for they are lost
in their illusion of hate.

Allah desires Peace

Allah desires Mercy

Allah desires Love

Allah desires Goodness to all

Be nice

Be merciful

show Allah's mercy

show Allah's compassion

If necessary show Allah's anger. For example, if one were to witness a
child being raped or a merciless form of oppression taking place, then
one is allowed to display righteous anger and stop the situation.



(This is a good du'a to make while praying or meditating)


*Du'a of Submission*

All good is from you Oh Allah

i beg that you bring forth goodness to all creation in sha`Allah

Only you exist

"i" surrender "my" illusionary will to your perfect and holy Will

Glory to you oh Allah

You are the Most Great, the Most Perfect, the Most Loving, the Most
Merciful and the Most Kind.

Your Praise is never exhausted, nor your Glory
