One who Finds God

One who Finds God

1991 2 February 13 One who Finds God (184) To find God is to find the greatest reality. When one finds God, it is such a mighty discovery – of the intensity of an earthquake – that it shakes one’s whole being.

One who does so bathes in an indescribable kind of divine light.

He becomes a new man. His thinking starts moving in a new direction. His actions see a complete change. All his activities become those of one who can see God before His appearance. He finds himself being weighed in the balance of Doomsday before the coming of that day.

The difference between a momin (true believer) and a non-momin is that whatever is going to be experienced by the later in the Hereafter will be experienced by a momin to the same degree in this worldly life itself. Whatever a non-momin is going to see in the Hereafter, will be seen by the momin in this life itself. Whatever a non-momin will believe when he is helpless i.e. when there is no other way out but to believe will be believed in by a momin today, of his own free will.

The world is but a drop in the ocean of eternity

1991 2 February 13 The world is but a drop in the ocean of eternity (37) AI-Mastaurid Ibn Shaddad heard the Prophet say: “The world, in comparison to eternity, is like one of you putting his finger in the ocean. What does he take with him when he brings his finger out?”
