THE BODY IS TORN MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FORGETTING ALLAH. THE BODY SUFFERS A LOT. The body pulls itself together by sleeping. It recovers from that enormous destruction only by sleeping.

WEAKNESS OF FAITH, FORGETTING ALLAH CAUSES ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION TO THE BODY. THE BODY IS DEVASTATED. That poor body collects itself only by sleeping for seven or eight hours.

ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS ALL HIS ATTENTION WITH A SHARP JOY, KEEN FAITH AND ATTENTION. We need to mature our faith and love and while doing this one needs to think rationally and reasonably to attain it.

It is also Allah Who gives the love for Himself. It is also Allah Who gives that strength. Once a person attains it, he attains the greatest blessing. He is relieved from a ton of troubles. He feels enormous ease.

Allah always says in the Qur’an, “People are cruel and ignorant, ungrateful and give little thanks to Allah.” Somehow people’s minds have been divorced from Allah. That is why while calling on Allah we need to say, “MY LORD MAKE MY ATTENTION BE ALWAYS UPON YOU” but we also need to implore, “MY LORD! GRANT ME A PROFOUND LOVE FOR YOU THAT IS PURIFIED FROM ANY DOUBTS.”

We, on the other hand, say, “We love Allah most”. ALL LOVE BELONGS TO ALLAH, for Allah creates whatever we see. Besides, it is Allah Who makes us love, He inspires some kind of attraction between the two parties, which is very beautiful. A great blessing, masha’Allah. That is why it is very important to devote one’s whole love to Allah.

ONE NEEDS TO DEVOTE ALL HIS ATTENTION TO ALLAH, HAVING NO DOUBT OF HIM. THEN A RELIEVED, HONEST, WISE FAITH COMES INTO BEING.

BECAUSE LOVE IS FROM ALLAH, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DIRECT THE LOVE WITH ATTENTION. It is a unscrupulousness to withdraw one’s attention from Allah. ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS HIS ATTENTION ON ALLAH AND DO WITH HIS UTMOST CARE.

ALLAH BEAUTIFIES US BY FAITH. Our life becomes beautiful. Life becomes precious. Otherwise people would loathe one another. Life would become horrible in the absence of faith.

One needs to focus all his attention and love on Allah.

THINK ABOUT HOW A HUMAN BEING CAN ATTAIN PERFECTION? THAT IS ISLAM. How can he assume the best manners and become a quality person? The most intelligent, patient, pure, compassionate, humane person with the best character, who puts his trust in Allah, and who acts to the point, I can recite these qualities till morning. A person who bears all these attributes is called a Muslim.

HAVE A LOVEABLE OUTLOOK ON LIFE. ALLAH CREATED THE WORLD WITH LOVE. It is not Almighty Allah’s intention to persecute us and fill all of Hell with us. There is a verse in the Qur’an which relates, “What would Allah do by persecuting you?”

WHEN ONE HAS FAITH, THE CELLS OF THE BODY MAKE A FEAST. The cells of the hair, eyebrows, nose, mouth, tongue make a feast BECAUSE FAITH MAKES THE IMPACT OF A TONIC ON A CELL.

Once we lose faith, all those nervous breakdowns, physical disorders start. As faith is lost, a body becomes so devastated. Weakness of faith makes a person go nuts. As faith becomes more profound, he becomes more healthy, beautiful and good and his heart opens up, he feels relieved.

NOT TOO MUCH MONEY IS REQUISITE FOR QUALITY. IT DEMANDS INTELLIGENCE, TASTE AND A TENDENCY TO ARTISTRY. For instance, a woman can be very shoddy with very expensive materials. Likewise, she can be a very quality person with very cheap materials. This is a matter of wisdom and conscience. THIS IS RELATED WITH THE PENETRATION OF THE POWER OF ARTISTRY TO THE SOUL AND THIS IS RELATED TO FAITH AND WISDOM. They are all interrelated.

Almighty Allah says; "If you love Me a lot, if you fear from Me, if you abide by the Qur'an, if you act sincerely, if you constantly keep your heart and mind with Me and repent, if you thank Allah, if you constantly praise Allah's supreme being saying "Allahu Akbar", if you constantly testify your removing any anthropomorphic elements or associations with Allah saying "Subhan'Allah", if you praise Me saying; "My Lord You are free of all kinds of flaws and shortcomings, Glory be to You", if you strive with all your might to praise Me and My Glory, no evil would ever fall to you. You will be at ease," says Allah. There is a secret in this.

Just like the real world startling us when we wake up from sleep and making us say; "How clear it is here and how blurred it is while in sleep," those who die, see this life as blurred. Actually the life in this world is a dream as well.

Prayer(salat) is a demonstration of joy, a way of thanking. Invoking the name of Allah is a way of thanking. Eating dinner with Muslims is a way of thanking, it is a beauty. We are having fun that is a beauty as well.

Our brothers should wake up happily for their prayers. How nice it is that when we wake up we see a bright and clear world. One might wake up paralyzed in the morning. One might wake up and see that he is physically disabled with his face disfigured. Or he might wake up and see that he is in Hell. How nice it is that Allah wakes us up nicely, feeling delighted.

When we strive for true democracy, we would come across Islam. That is because Islam and true democracy are the same. Freedom, love, peace, brotherhood, benevolence, cooperation, friendship, well intentions, sincerity, pleasantness, being afraid of Allah, loving Allah dearly, feeling love for everything that is beautiful, science, aesthetics; when we attain all these we would come across Islam.

We are in a state of sleep right now. Life is a sort of sleep and we are dreaming. When we die, we will be awakening from this dream.

Almighty God creates life in a state of sleep; the Qur'an refers to this deep secret. People do not know that they are in a state of sleep in this world. Actually, they all are in a dream right now, they all are dreaming. Some of them, for instance philosophy researchers, realize this fact in a state of awe and dismay.

Sleep is the weakness of this world. Every day after a certain hour one feels sleepy. They go and lay down to die and arise from death hours later. They bathe, they eat, again they feel sleepy at night. The time to die comes and they go die again. In the morning they arise from the dead again. Dying and arising from the dead, dying and arising from the dead, one's whole life goes on like this. In the end, they die for real and then arise from the dead in another world.

A believer should always be in good spirits, full of life. If they feel down, sad or distressed about something, or they're bothered by something, the body will want to sleep to get rid of that feeling. But if one is happy, the body wouldn't want sleep, it would want to get up and live life instead.

We are not created in a way to find it difficult to have faith. WE ARE CREATED IN A WAY TO BELIEVE IN AN EASY MANNER. But a person assumes that there are very intricate notions, and he has to make tremendous effort. That is out of the question. The only thing is to OPEN ONE'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND LET IT BE RELAXED. That is it.
