The most important thing in the body is to breath, for one to inhale and exhale. If anyone's breathing were to stop, then we may ask, would any amount of money be able to buy it back? What is the source of the ideas and thoughts in our minds? Whenever one sees something, an idea is formulated in his mind. Hence, he modifies and develops it, resulting in gaining knowledge of that thing. So he actually learns and improve his intelligence by using his mind fruitfully. No one can see how are formed through our eyes, which then goes in to our memory, and then developments and modifications happen to that idea. We perform such precise functions, even though we are only based upon flesh, bones, and blood. This procedure can never be detected by any machine, and the above procedure is working with every soul, whose brain is working accurately regardless of status, brilliance and intelligence. This would apply to anyone, regardless if he is a scientist, sergeant, doctor, lawyer, artist, researcher or any other title one may attribute to himself. When we sleep at night, our brain also sleeps. Therefore, our entire body at that time is not functional. Our actions, while we are asleep, is performed unconsciously. When one is asleep, who is the one who allows us to perform our actions unconsciously? Such as talking, rolling, or dreaming while one is asleep. Before one sleeps, no one aware of what he will dream about. When we fell asleep at night, our memories that we are dependant upon, including our commitments and family, are stored with us. When we awake, who is the one reminds us of the tasks. There are many, when they awake, they loose their entire memories. If you were to awake one morning, forgetting about your past, because your brain is unable to perform correctly. We must realize, are we controlling our body, or is it another source? We are alive and fully dependant upon the mercy of our creator, regardless how high our status may be, or what an intellect we may be. We witness many intellectuals, with pride, degrees, and wealth, collapse. One morning their movement is unable to function, making them collapse. Who is enabling us to make the right decisions, whether in our jobs or business, in order for us to pay our expenses, so that we may enjoy the comfort and luxury of our life. No government of this world, will give us comfort or luxury, if we are unable to fulfill paying our bills. This allows us to realize who our provider is, and this realization is the understanding of the difference between our Lord, Allah, and us, his slaves. All of these systems work precisely without costing a cent. And on that basis, we are able to perform our tasks in a proper and efficient manner, to manage our jobs, businesses and all of our daily activities. To use the most important and vital function of our body, The Power of Thinking, it does not cost us a cent. It helps us to maintain our lifestyle's earnings, keeping our relationships with others protected and preserved, using the various parts of our body, enjoying our feelings, etc. all of these are utilized through our brain and mind. We must remember that if Allah orders a single function to stop, then nothing can make it function. Similar to a dead person who can do nothing for himself, even though all his body parts, like an person alive, are there. When the mercy of the provider stops, then we can see how the body decays in no time, regardless what an intellectual we may be. Verily, by His will, once our Provider stops his mercy, at the time of our deaths, we will be unable to inhale or exhale a single breath.
The same thing is true for someone who prays to Allah to have a child. If Allah does not decree and will for them a child, they would never have one. Regardless how rich or poor one may be, if the digestive system does not work efficiently, he or she will be unable to eat or drink. With the mercy of Allah we are able to eat and digest, and the nutrition of our food benefits our bodies. For any individual to inhale or exhale, which is the most important function in order to stay alive. This facility from Allah never costs us a cent, and yet it is by his mercy we are breathing. We never can realize the unlimited bounties from Allah, if one starts to think about his mercy deeply and positively. If Allah, our Provider, orders a portion of the body to stop working, we call that person paralyzed. In fact, this is when the person realizes the controls of his Provider and Controller. However, the people who witness the state of his condition, still do not realize the power of the Provider, Allah. Regardless how careful, or how good food one may eat, people still get sick, and taste a small sample of death. Even if it is the same type of food we are normally accustomed to eating, the distribution of nutrition in our bodies is by the mercy of our Provider. Or otherwise the same kind of food may be harmful to us. When Allah, the Provider, stops someone's life, regardless what type of food we were to try and put in his mouth, medicines, machines, or we inject needles in him, all of these procedures become useless. Did anyone ever realize, how is Allah, the Provider sending light in our eyes? What is the source for the thoughts in our brains? Who is the source, sending this thinking? Where does the speech in our throats originate from? What is the source of all of this? Where does life actually come from in the mothers' womb? The system and development of the fetus in the mother's womb is so precise and accurate, that it is impossible for one to even say that it is a coincidence. Allah develops a single cell within the mothers womb, and Allah is the one who develops a seed in the ground to a tree. For each and every breath we inhale and exhale is only in the control of Allah, and there absolutely is no guarantee for the next breath, we are only living by Allah's mercy.
Now we can realize how close Allah is to us. If any person dies, and if he inhales, then he cannot exhale, even if he were to give a billion dollars. At the time of our deaths, nothing will benefit us. |
