The closest we can get to Allah in this Dunya is in Salah, particularly in prostration. We lower our knees and forehead to the earth, to the dirt the lowest of all elements. Not only does it instill humility in the depths of our souls but it also reminds us where we are from. We have been created from the earth, born in the wombs of our mothers, taking the journey of life and soon to taste death, returning us to the depths of the earth. Whereupon reality will become crystal clear…

Invoke Him With Deeds
As salaamu alaikum
I apologize for the lack of updates, just been very busy lately and in the midst of exams as well...du'as requested, JazakAllahu Khayr =)
The following is a poem by Rumi:
God made the illusion look real
and the real an illusion.
He concealed the sea
and made the foam visible,
the wind invisible,
and the dust manifest
You see the dust whirling,
but how can the dust rise by itself?
you see the foam,
but not the ocean.
Invoke Him with deeds, not words;
for deeds are real
and will save you in the infinite-life.
