Unseen God

Allah is unseen but He can be felt His presence. Many people sometimes left wondering and confuse about Islam.

Why Allah is cannot be seen?
To put into simple words, we are not that great yet to see Allah. And unseen does not mean not existing.

Lets make it clearer.
We can feel pain,but what is the real shape of the pain itself? We can feel happy but what is the true mass of happiness? We can feel love but what is the size of love to say that we love someone so much?

We cannot explain it right?
But we are surely sure that pain,love and happiness are real. Why? Because we all feel it! We know its real because we "seen" them, been there. How? Through actions. Through emotions. We buy gifts to the people we love to show our love. We buy super expensive gifts to show how much we love that person. And we all know that its not the gifts really matters because the values of money, hardworks, sacrifices we gone through to get something done for that person are actually the overwhelming part in showing love to people. Many people will be happy with gifts but the truth is the gestures, the little little things like saying wishes, remembering the special dates that what makes love a real love.

But to really wrap up the "love" itself, how? We cannot even see it mass.

So if something that spritual is an invisible mass, that does not mean that its not real.
Just because Allah is not seen to our naked eyes (same like love & pain) that does not mean that Allah is not there, is not real.
Does not mean that we cannot feel Allah presence.

The concept is same like love. When we love someone, we show gratitudes to them. We buy expensive gifts, make surprise, we protect them, giving them whatever ours, we pay things for them, we prepare the best for them, we basically want to do everything the best for them right?

Allah loved us so so so much. That, He sent Prophets to us so we don't live without directions, He sent us Quran so we know how to rule the world and ourselves, He gives us fresh air when He can easily make air out of CO2 but He knows we cannot breath in CO2, and oxygen is the best for us, He pours down fresh tasteless rain from skies for us to drink because He knows we would die without water and our blood is only natural with fresh water (He can easily make rain drops as salt water like  the sea but He does not because He wants the best for His servants), Allah gives us winds so not only one part on Earth can have the rain so we all can have water sources equally, Allah lets us have mines, coals, and other minerals so we can create things and tools with them for shelter and more. Allah creates trees because He knows we breathe out acidic and we cannot produce oxygen ourselves nor we can process carbon dioxide by ourselves.

Instead of creating things against something that in unnature for human being to survive, Allah makes everything so easy for us, so natural, and free. He can make it hard for us to live but Allah doesn't. Why?

Because Allah loves us!
That the proves of Allah mercy's and loves to us. Don't argue about not seeing God in shapes and all because all this while we believe that love is real by just feeling them and show them through actions. Now when we cannot feel Allah but Allah has shown us all His loves and endless cares to us by providing us with so many, we want to say that He isn't real?? Really human?

Don't be ungrateful.
We failed to 'feel' Allah, its our faults. Its because we don't know Him and Islam so well. We don't and refuse to learn His sentences. Its because we are too busy looking for wealth without looking for Him. Its because, we always ask and ask for more and more but we never give or we give too little. Its because when we are doing good and healthy we get overly confident that nothing can break us down. Now that when we in hardships and sickness, we turn to Him in despair. We failed to 'see' Allah because we are overly attached to this world that we don't think about our future in graves. Just because we see that we have too many to achieve and expectations, we always dismiss the REAL PURPOSES OF LIVING AS MUSLIMS.
Now we know why we never feel Allah or able to 'see' Him even He is nearer to us than we with our own veins.

Human, Allah has given everything the best just to provide the best surrounding and material for His servants to live. And all we do is sin, sin, sin. We missed prayers and we're still okay. We don't fast during Ramadhan and we still think we're okay. We don't pay Zakat and we think we're saving money. We badmouthed people and we always think we're noble. We don't feed the poor, we don't sedeqah to the needy yet we think we're already an exemplary figure. We rarely read and study the Quran but we think we are fit for heaven.

Human, it is written in Quran that we are always rush. Rushing is us.
We always rush in thinking and overestimate our deeds and think we are good to go. But don't we know that the moment we overestimate our deeds, the deeds are already gone? And everytime we be like that we always going back to zero.
Now we're even poorer than the people on streets.

Mashallah.

Allah has everything in His hands. Everything we know or we don't know is His possessions. We literally own nothing. Not even ourself. If we think we own our bodies, then why the deads cannot make themselves alives back? Because they're dead and 'something' else is holding their lives. And that 'something' is Allah.
Simple right.
We don't own anything, Allah owns everything and we are still such the ungrateful.

So lets repent.

That kind of repent where we never want to go back to the old bad ungrateful us. The kind of repent when we simply feel contented and satisfied with so little of what we need / have yet we never starve nor greedy for more.

Taubat Nasuha, as we called it.

Even we are busy chasing dreams and fulfilling expectations, juggling works between prayers times, traveling across continents for business, teach our hearts that we never ever forget the real business with Him. The business deal when we signed the agreement in Heaven before we were born, that we will become obedient servants for Allah and listen to all His commands without excuse.

Hearts can be a place for setans to whisper us to evil but prayers we perform can simply shelter us from doing evils. We can ward off evilness through reading and studying the Quran, take the lessons learnt, the values taught, following the Prophets leads and exemplary personalities, do good deeds, and zikr.

Little that we know Allah never wants any wealth we have or anything we worked on. He just want our hearts that's occupied by His Glory Names, by kindness, by sincerity in ibadah and fill it with remembrance of Him in whatever we do.

All that 'little things' we seen it as, but thats all the big big things Allah looked at in ourselves.

May Allah accepts our prayers and repents and grant us Jannah Insyallah.
