God Oriented Life

English book, PDF p. 22

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

O God, only You can change our hearts. We beseech You to do so, so that we may submit to you. The Prophet Muhammad Be humble and do not harm or consider yourself superior to others. The Prophet Muhammad Among the best of you are they who have the best character The Prophet Muhammad We shall show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is the witness of all things? The Quran 41: 53 Have you considered the water that you drink? Is it you who cause it to descend from the clouds, or do We? If We so pleased, We certainly could make it salty. Why, then, are you not grateful? The Quran 56: 68-70 21 insufficient. The deeper realities of this world are beyond the scope of the human mind, and so far as God and the next world are concerned, they must remain forever invisible—beyond the reach of human perception. What the Prophet does is to enlighten people so that they may overcome this human inadequacy. He tells of the reality of things here and now, and also gives tidings of the next world. He thereby enables the individual to formulate a plan for his entire existence in the full light of knowledge and awareness so that he may carve out a successful life for himself.
