MEDITATION IS THE PRACTICE OF COMING TO SEE THINGS AS GOD CREATED THEM
What is True Seeing?
NOTHING IS YOURS
To God belongs the east and the west; wherever you go there will be
the presence of God. God is Omnipresent, Omniscient.
(Quran 2:115)
YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL
Such is God your Cherisher and Sustainer, there is no god except He,
the Creator of all things. You shall worship Him alone. He is in
control of all things.
(Quran 6:102)
EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY
Know that this worldly life is no more than play and games, and
boasting among you, and hoarding of money and children. It is like
abundant rain that produces plants and pleases the disbelievers. But
then the plants turn into useless hay, and are blown away by the wind.
In the Hereafter there is either severe retribution, or forgiveness
from God and approval. This worldly life is no more than a temporary
illusion.
(Quran 57:20)
THE PRACTICE
If anyone thinks that God cannot support
him in this life and in the hereafter, let him turn completely
to his Creator in heaven, and sever his dependence on anyone else.
He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.
[Quran 22:15]
