Praise be to Allah

"Praise be to Allah"

I guest that is all that I could say. Recently, I been getting more calm and focus in my life. I almost cried when I remembered how miserable I was before this and looking at how am I now. Praise be to Allah again, that is all that I could say. How could I say it more?

I wish that my thoughts wouldn't leave even a second from Allah. It felt so calm when thinking of Him. It is actually amazing how my understanding of my faith had increase by the day. And I hope it will never cease to. I began to understand the shahadah. The first part is acknowledging Him as the Only One God. The second is acknowledging Muhammad PBUH as His messenger. Well, that is the plain over view of it.

If we are to go deeper we will find that the first part is to completely, through every bits of atoms in our body to acknowledge Allah as The GOD. The one that we must obey, abide and worship every second of our waken life. We must not summit to anyone or anything. He must be the center of our life. I mean, if you want anything, you ask Him!When you achieve something great, praise Him. When in sadness, talk to Him. He is loving and always listening and watching. He had love for us more than anyone could've imagine.

When we have acknowledge that, comes the question of HOW? On this the Holy prophet had shown us the way. He had set an example on how to worship Allah. How to become a servant worthy of Allah's attention. We all have His Most Holiness attention but of all of us out there, which one that Allah is proud to brag about to His angels? This is the second part of the shahadah.

Then again, after so much deeds, we began to realised that none of all our deeds matters to Allah, cause it the end all of it came from Allah! It was from Him that we gain our strength and the attention to worship Allah! Again we climb back to the first part, re-establish our faith to Allah. Remember, it is He that judges us, not we, ourselves by looking at our deed and ibadah. Then we might asked how come we have to salah, to siyyam and perform the Haj? If it will never save us from the hell's fire in the end? Again we go to the next part of the Shahadah. The holy prophet PBUH is the one that Allah guarantees a place in Jannah but he never stop worshiping Allah. In fact he even worship more until his legs hurts doing the Salah.

It is here my understanding of the faith stops. I am waiting for a further guidance from a true teacher that can guide me further on understanding the reality of life and of Allah. As long as I didn't stray away from the Shahadah, that is fine with me.
