The absolute Faith in God

How can you reject faith in Allah, seeing that you were dead and He gave you life.

Then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you to life, then to Him will be your return.

 It is simple and easy for everyone to do.

It is easy for everyone to control all the laws of nature and uses of force grandeur of nature, according to his desire or need or comfort. It is possible for a person to penetrate the value of being transcendental in the true nature of his mind, and regardless of the reason in both cases waking or dreaming  and then acquires the level of Being with God.

Being with God (via the absolute Faith in Allah) is the source of inspiration, an essential foundation for all laws of nature in order to work, the human being has put himself in a position where it becomes able naturally to use the forces in the nature.

Submit yourself in peace to the Absolute One and Living GOD:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.’

"Then, Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds!  To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!”

Kill the nasty thoughts by saying to them, “Stop, I seek refuge with God from the accursed nasty thoughts.

Forget about how other people view you.

The law of life is the law of belief. Ideas are conveyed to the mind by repetition, faith, and expectancy. The absolute Belief in God is the power to heal, inspire, strengthen, and prosper you. Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny.

Busy your mind with the absolute belief in God then, the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will happen in your life.

The great importance of having faith

In order to overcome the fear of Death, you must testify, “I bear witness that there is no God but the One God. You must believe this without ever having seen God.

Faith, then, is an essential character of you. In addition, you also recognize all the prophets God has ever sent to guide humanity.

These include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them all.

You must believe in the revealed books as well, such as the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, is the last revelation of God and it has remained preserved in its exact and original form for more than 1,400 years.

“Have faith” and “keep the faith,” along with other adages, are phrases we use daily. We reference faith to help keep us confident and send out some positive energy – either by having faith in a higher deity, having faith in ourselves, or having faith in others.

Faith in the context of religion is very defining for a person. It places the person in a belief system that develops into a way of life and provides its own unique system of logic to explain the phenomena of life around us.

Faith in God enables humans to be thankful for the blessings they enjoy, and to be patient in times of difficulty, for they believe that nothing can happen without His will. Faith in the Divine Being also prompts people to be more in tune with their souls and to maintain a constant connection through prayer, supplication, and reflection.

Ultimately, faith enables you to develop a deeper vision, one which goes beyond the sight of their eyes and the signals of their minds.

To have faith is to feel secure

In the English language, faith broadly means ‘trust.’ So, when you have faith, you have trust in something or somebody. Faith is, hence, directly linked to feeling secure and that faith is an anchoring element in the human experience.

Without faith we fall into a state of despair; faith gives believers hope which makes them feel safe in this unpredictable world. In Death, belief in God is the first step in securing this safety.

Faith is trust. From the context of religion, it implies that trusting in the words of God will lead one to find safety and security. This does not necessarily imply that it will keep people away from any harm or loss in their lives.

 Rather, it is referring to the spiritual safety net we fall back on during times of hardship – the knowledge that we are not alone and God’s wisdom is so much greater than our understanding. Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light.”

To the skeptic, faith may be a restriction or a form of blind trust that gives people the permission not to think critically or rationalize. For them, faith is more like a convenient solution which keeps people from asking uncomfortable questions.

Yet, humans are naturally inclined to believe in a higher power, which leads them on a quest for deeper meaning of their existence.

As such, Death encourages people to tap into this natural inclination so that they think and seek to comprehend, as evident from the countless references to “those who reflect” and “people of understanding”.

Indeed, inquiring and searching can actually guide one to the concept of ultimate faith in a higher deity through rationalization.

Faith and Afterlife

Faith helps us conceptualize the meaning of our existence on earth. Humans err, and no matter how intelligent we are, we misjudge, mistake, and misunderstand. We can only see through the lenses of our own personality and experiences, and not how things truly are at times.

We see our own realities, which ultimately makes it harder for us to discern ultimate truths on our own. Humans are intelligent – we can rationalize and follow the scientific method – but we have limits to where our minds can reach, to the extent the mind can grasp.

These limitations make it necessary for us to have a framework to guide us on our journey here, which is precisely why having faith is so important.

The three religions urge this balance between asking questions and accepting that full comprehension is beyond the limited capacity of the human mind.

Moreover, to think that there is nothing beyond this world and its harsh realities is too grim. For all those people who have had unfortunate circumstances plague their existence, or who are living well but are unaccountable, the absence of an afterlife would be unjust.

It would eliminate the idea that we will be rewarded when we do good, or be punished when we do wrong. It would mean that what you lose in this life, you’ve lost forever.

Faith in God and an afterlife, on the other hand, give us hope, positive energy and direction. They also internalize a moral framework; the awareness that God is watching even when no one else is, and will hold us accountable for our deeds, enables one to maintain an ethical and righteous lifestyle despite all odds.

Faith is to affirm your faith in God, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in the Divine Destiny whether it be good or bad. 

Aptly, these are called the “six articles of faith.” Each one is asking us to believe in something we have never seen or experienced before – the very essence of faith itself.

Having faith in the unseen and the unknown spiritually is definitely more challenging; after all, the outcome will be revealed only after we cease to exist in this life.

Faith requires us to build a conceptual bridge from our material existence to an unknown destination and to journey through bravely. Perhaps this is why the results are expected to be far more rewarding. God has promised the faithful many bounties.

Belief in the Unseen is central to the message of the Holy Books. Belief in the Unseen is the first characteristic of a believer. We are not supposed to limit our belief to those things that we can apprehend with our senses. We are not supposed to allow our observation of the physical world to blind us to our faith in what is beyond it. 

The world of the Unseen is the domain of faith. The proof for our faith, however, is in the tangible world, the world wherein we carry out our lives. 

You must believe in the existence of that which is beyond human perception. You must believe in Allah and His attributes. You must believe in the angels, the scriptures, and the Prophets. You must believe in the Hereafter and what it entails of the Resurrection, Heaven and Hell, the Balance, and the Bridge and other details mentioned in the Holy Books. 

This also entails belief in the Jinn.
We must simply concede that our minds and our faculties are limited, and some things in Allah’s creation have not been subjected to our scrutiny. 

Consider the human soul. Though it has a vital connection with the human body, its nature is a complete mystery to us. 

Allah says: “They ask you about the soul. Say: the soul is from the affair of my Lord, and of knowledge you have been vouchsafed but little.”

Belief in the Unseen gives the mind scope that it otherwise would not have. Without belief in the Unseen, life would become depressing and claustrophobic. This is why, regardless of their religious convictions, people show a general tendency to need their Lord and Creator, especially at times of hardship. 

Outside of the limited scope that The Holy Books set for belief in the Unseen within the framework of our acceptance of the scriptures, The Holy Books give humanity wide berth for the exercise of reason and the pursuit of empirical knowledge. The Holy Books encourage us to stud the world around us and uncover its secrets. 

This is why The Holy Books demand that any claim we make about a matter of the Unseen must be strictly supported by scripture. Otherwise, the Unseen should not be invoked. 

This gives us the criterion between belief in the Unseen and belief in superstition. The Unseen refers to matters of faith that are beyond our rational powers to apprehend. Superstitions, by contrast, are the consequences of our failure to exercise our rational faculties where they should be applied. 

The Holy Books assert matters that transcend the limits of human reason – matters that the human mind is incapable of resolving on its own. The Holy Books do not assert matters that run contrary to the dictates of reason, things that our rational faculties clearly show us to be impossible or wrong.

Reason does not deny the existence of the Unseen. To the contrary, reason acknowledges that necessity of the Unseen for human life in this world and for the concerns of the Hereafter.

-       A person is a believer if he possesses faith. Faith is born into the heart and is a genuine, spiritual state.

-       The concept of God is in the minds of people by nature. It is however covered with a lot of confusion. One of the major obstacles to people accepting the concept of a Universal God is that people cannot see Him and thus do not have a rational argument to prove the existence of God. They believe in the direct or observable argument or primary rationalism and not the unseen or inferential argument or secondary rationalism. This is contrary to the fact today.
To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all, but to believe in the Unseen is a triumph and a blessing.

The status of your heart and the status of your intentions

Once you believe, you will gain the power, the strength; the tranquility and the belonging and Allah will help you and support you in your stormy condition.

If you win this battle against yourself and you become victorious inside, Allah will take care of the external battle and whatever is happening surrounding you.

Sweetness of Faith

Moreover, if we find that Faith is difficult, know that loving Allah is the key to tasting the sweetness of faith. There are three things which if a person finds them, he has found the sweetness of faith: when Allah and His Messengers are dearer to him than all else; when he loves a person for no other reason than for the sake of Allah; and when he hates to return to atheism after Allah has saved him from it as he would hate to be thrown into fire.

How can I make my heart love Allah?
