....Thus,
Allah Almighty says:
...."For without doubt in the
remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." (Rad, 28)
....THE AWARENESS OF THE NAFS
....Our beloved Prophet said, "He
who knows himself (his nafs) also knows his Lord."
....When we first look at our
past,
....The planet Earth had other travelers
and we were merely a bundle of lifeless atoms. It rained; we were
dissolved and became what is known as clay. We were taken up through
the roots of plants and transformed into vegetation, and became
plants. We were eaten, digested, and became ovum or sperm. We
were sent to the uterus and became an embryo. When our organs
developed, we became a fetus. And then we were born and became
a human being.
....During this period, we underwent
complex chemical transactions and physical events. We traveled
through many universes and stayed for nine months in the womb
of our mother.
....It is not possible that we did
any of the above by ourselves; Who then, for God's sake created
and directed these affairs?
