العظمة --- God's Greatness (in arabic)

A friend has posted a few words, that gave me a heavy meaning. That person, wrote about keeping up with the 5 prayers, especially the Fajer Prayer. Which is the hardest of the 5 in our days. In the Quran, Allah sibhana said, 'Quran Al-Fajer is witnessed (mash.hooda)' i.e. witnessed by God and his Angels... It is a great deal, but doesn't mean its more important than the other prayers.

So what fuels us to get up? It is God's Greatness, wanting his favor, his Rithaa, wanting his love, wanting him to forgive us, to give us, ....

It is the heart that is hanging in the heavens, wanting, prayering, tearful, Sajidah, Smiling, at Peace ... but when this heart goes down to earth, and is content of 'living on earth forever' is when we fade back, is when we should wake up and go back up to the heavens, we are falling back into ''alghafla'', so we miss our prayers, how can we? I urge to find a group of friends, that help you with your Religion, remind you, be with you. Su7ba Sal7a. (misti3id to guide ily yabi, e.g. jam3iyat i7ya2 il torath).

In the Quran, there are metaphors and examples given, of things in heaven similar to things on earth, fruits, palaces, and so on, but of greatness nothing like we seen. But what is greater than heaven? IT is to see God's Face 'Wijoohon yawma ithin nathirah' 'Ela Rabiha Nathira', that day when the Believers witness God's Face and light... this is the greatest prize... Why isn't it not mentioned alot in the Quran?

Usualy people are after ''desires, wants'' and so the Quran uses that to urge people to go on the straigt path, promising them heaven, fruits, women, annd all they desire... ''targheeeeeeeb bil janah''. But looking at God, there is nothing like it, nothing like him, and his NOOR is far greater than anything, me writing about it can't even come close to it. Nothing Like it!

But you might feel the happiness and ''lath.aaaa'' of praying, when you have ''khoshoo'a'' and your focused and in presence with God... you feel that sweetness. As hasan Al basry said (a great scholar) ''i'd rather pray 2 raka's than to go inside heaven, saaajid infront of my Lord'' after all he created me, he gave me, and what sweetness i find in my sijood to him.

And Boy how much i feel guilty when i miss a prayer, how much i feel sad when i miss a prayer. How can I? Walah 3aib.

thus, we have to know our LORD. "Allaho Laaaaa Elaha ila Hooo Al 7ayo Al qayoom" this is the Greatest Ayah, it has the description of God in it, Get to know him, and when you know him, you wont miss a prayer, he is to great to pass.

Imam Malik ibno Dinar said "if people knew their Lord, and Know him well, they would not sin" --- but we are imperfect, and we sin, and God loves his servents that are TAWABEEEN, that repent from there sins.

Imagine if you have an important meeting, Imagine if you have an important venture with someone, you wont miss it, you'll be on your feet, what about the Lord of the Universe? You will find sweetness in it. He created All, and Knows All.

Do you feel the fabric of cloths on your back? Who really gave it to you? Who gave you what you have? See the bird flying in the Sky, who taught it to fly?

Can't you be a good '3abd', servent of your Lord?
