ISLAMIC MEDITATION

of the universe is a living being. The meaningfulness of the universe is an expression of the meaningfulness of God’s being. The loftiness of the mountains, the brilliance of the sun, the flowing of the river and the blowing of the wind are signs of God's majesty. From the chirping of the birds to the galaxies and black holes in space, all declare the glory of God. Meditation is to ponder over these divine manifestations and attributes in order to get to know them in their depths, because it is through these signs that God can be realized. This is Islamic meditation. o One sign of a principled person is his strictness with himself, and his tolerance towards others.
