Love of God

IN THE COMPANY OF GOD the contrary, one who has not made God his sole concern, but has rather made other things his concern, in terms of the shariah he is guilty of polytheism. The personality of the monotheist is an integrated personality, while the personality of a polytheist is a split personality. According to the shariah, God is man’s real goal or purpose of life, other things are only his need. Both monotheism and polytheism relate to reality and not just to appearances. IN THE COMPANY OF GOD When a man discovers his Lord, he repeatedly feels that he has come very close to his Lord. Finding one’s Lord at the spiritual level, his heart trembles and his eyes are filled with tears. Many articles and books are published in Arabic with this title: Time Spent with a Particular Person (Saa-atun maaa-fulanan). Such a title is apparently well-chosen, but it is strange that no writer has ever written an article with this title–Time Spent in the Company of God (Saatun ma Allah). This is a proof that our writers have set a value upon the company of man, but they have not done so for the company of God. As mentioned in a Hadith, such moments when the believer must be whispering with his Lord should be a part of his life (Sahih Ibn Hibban, Hadith No. 361). Whispering suggests such an experience when man finds himself so very close to God that he starts speaking to Him in undertones.
