The Lower World Belong To Sorrowful People

"When I am silent, yearning Him speaks for itself" Sallina Ismail

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.

“Knowest thou not that to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth? And besides Him ye have neither patron nor helper” Surah Al Baqarah, 107

            “To Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah hath power over all things” Surah Al Imraan, 189

            The wealth and power of this world is acquired not through intelligent guidance from the Owner and the Absolute Ruler of wealth and power, Al Malik Al Aziz, who is the Sovereign and Most Supreme of the entire universe, visible and invisible, but through the mastery of our own rules, strategies and attraction to win worldly gains, power and success, the mental perception of their true cause and nature.  A wise man does not try to acquire the world by controlling others of his own wants, but rather seeks higher consciousness that allows him to understand and see the hidden cause behind all things. 

"There is the type of man whose speech about this world's life dazzle thee; and he calls God to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of enemies" Surah Al Baqarah, 204

"When you want something, the universe conspires in helping you achieve it" Paulo Coelho

One goes through arduous and dangerous actions by using the organs, energy and senses of his body and the universe to help him in his mission to attract wealth and power. They seek the organs and the energy of the universe to attract worldly gains: RAS (Recticular Activating System), mental hypnosis etc. They have made their bodies and energy the gods. This is what Anthony Robbins is teaching the ummah, to be the co-Creators of life because he said "God wants you to be rich!" Excuse me Mr Robbins, the verse "God wants you to be rich" is in the Bible and not in the Holy Quran thank you very much.

"What is the life of this world but play and amusement?" Surah Al An'aam, 32

"The life of this world is alluring to those who reject Faith and they scoff at those who believe" Surah Al Baqarah, 212

"For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception" Surah Al-I'mraan, 185

"Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement" Surah Al Hadiid, 20

Worldly people worldly gains are attached to sense-objects that gives them predictable illusion, all the time.

Most of us exist only for the sake of existing, we never truly exist. We exist responding to choices and the makeup from the environment, desires and lusts rather than acting upon embodied light consciousness. The real significance of freedom of the soul is to rise above duality, the sufferings-happiness principle. We live through a chain reaction nurtured by the environment and about us as victims of fate. We lose our livelihood in this manner rapt with perception that is false and the illusion of life is truly pathetic. We eventually engulfed into restlessness turning away from the reality of who we really are and the purpose of our existence. 

“Reality is blocked by forms and image” Rumi

“Illusion is needed to disguise the emptiness within” Arthur Erickson

I realized how I became the victim of identity. My persona was an illusion and so are yours. Years of sufferings, reading many books from the greatest continents trying to figure out who I want to be and submitting to the identity that friends and families want me to be and would like to see in me. And copying other people’s success and how they succeed so that I can succeed in the same manner. We want to be like Elon Musk, or Mark Zuckerberg, or Neelofa. Yeah, the fakeness of identity. We fake our persona and identity just to be endorsed by the people around us so that they are happy and never mind our own happiness. Isn’t that ironic? And when we gained wealth, we pomp, mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among ourselves, riches and children (QS 18: 28; QS 57: 20) and this cycle is crippling our nerves, cells and neurons.

“I predict that mirror neurons will do for psychology what DNA did for biology” Prof. V.S. Ramachandran, Neuroscientist. The ability to imitate other people lies in the Mirror Neurons. It has been proposed that the mirror neuron system provides humans the ability to imitate - which are active both when people perform an action and when they watch it being performed. Mirror neurons create brain-to-brain connection between people. What you see is what you become because Mirror Neurons do not discriminate.

You can smile when your heart is breaking because you are a woman and a courtier, and a Howard. That’s three reasons for being the most deceitful creature on God’s earth – Philippa Gregory

Francis Crick, Nobel Prize winner for his work with James Watson on the structure of DNA in the 50s wrote in his book, The Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul (1995). He said “many of us are deluded about who we are. You, your joys and sorrows, your memories and ambitions, your sense of personal identity and Free Will are in fact no more than a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.” The minds are the gods in us, and we are the ones feeding them with our thoughts, feelings, emotion and the environment and they release the chemistry for our biological processes, hence our actions and attitudes. This is indeed a biological problem, a problem we need to thoroughly scrutinize to further define the truth and reality of who we truly are.  

The mind is a barrier between the soul and the Creator. We must elevate our mind and not degrade our self. For the mind can be a friend or a foe. One who is free from the bondage of the desires of self and from illusion: false image, false stature, false association, whose greed, lust and ammarah have departed and those who had restrained their soul from lower desires and who understands the true message of syahadah, who is done with material things and free from the duality of stress-happiness and one who knows how to surrender to the One and Only Guide belongs to that eternal providence, a sanctuary of peace and love. Those who have no faith in this knowledge of surrender lives in a deluded sorrowful world and does not know self and does not know His lord to be the Greatest. The mind steadfast to the thought of "God is All" and there is no god but God, his soul resort to Him alone and abides in His divine love which is the Supreme goal of all living beings. Such great soul is rare and hard to find.

“Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away” Surah Al Naml, 88

You think the body and brain is dormant but they are vibrating thoughts, words, feelings, emotion and belief system from the environment and according to your wishes and desire. What you echo, — spoken or unspoken words, feelings and thoughts whether good or evil, you get the same. In the realm of Free Will, we are brain-mind in action. The soul is as good as dead and the spirit is sleeping elsewhere. They are separate consciousness and always at war against each other. 

The nucleus in our cells and neurons, are faithful, neutral and intelligent messengers and they don’t delete nor add even an atom’s weight in their function. For all bad actions, they function by releasing events of chemicals and molecules 100% according to our wishes and they obey and submit to men’s desire. This kind of nafs cannot tap into Quantum Mechanics because there is no dynamics in its system that require a mechanism for it to give coherence. The mechanism is God-consciousness.

MY SOUL IS A PRISONER

If you want to experience sublime happiness and joy in this world and the hereafter, let free the environment that has poisoned your mind making you despair and disbelieved so that your soul may rise against yourself and reaped into a larger reality, a reality I don’t think any of you is capable of handling.

“All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there” Rumi

We make a fool of our light and divinity. We make a fool of our Creator’s power and intelligence. Our lovely soul has worn out through the ages: manacle, shackle and we have no choice but to succumb to despair, hence the stagnation of the lowest order soul vibrate in us in a chaotic and stressful state. We are solely susceptible to the incitement that meddle upon our consciousness from dogmas and leading us on a joyride that we have no choice but to be victims of determinism. This is the belief system passed down from one generation to the next and it is truly scary to even think we have created radical minds and hardwired brain to this effect.

“Those who look for seashells will find seashells. Those who open them will find pearls” Al Ghazali

In this world of dreams, illusion and mere play, Maryam is absorbed and caught up with her life affairs just like everyone else. Some are absorbed in love of idols (they idolize man/woman) some are absorbed in wealth, its adornment and their children, acquiring possessions etc. Maryam and others believed that their happiness and comfort are connected to the acquired things. Maryam and everyone else could not find peacefulness in the things they acquire so they searched elsewhere to be attached to the sense objects of the world and even then, they could not attained peace. But due to His All Loving All Merciful nature, He sent the Truth to remove their veil but even when the Truth is revealed to them, they turned away.  

When you’re the victim of the behaviour, it’s black and white; when you’re the perpetrator, there are a million shades of gray - Laura Schlessinger

Locked to the body and its senses that are so unreal, we behave under every stimulation the environment gives in, sometimes angry, sometimes afraid, sometimes sad and sometimes happy, sometimes victimized and sometimes a perpetrator, sometimes “I want to die” and sometimes “I want to live.”  We whirl in the turmoil of life like the dust in the wind. We think and struggle too much we forget to feel and embrace our senses. Only one who understands that his body is his gods and the mind of illusion is his Master, can desire to set free his soul. 

"We live in a fantasy world of illusion.  The great task in life is to find reality" Iris Murdoch

We are greater than we truly are. We are larger than life. We are greater than the larger Reality. We are enormous and gigantic. We are love so massive. We are what we are not.

The Law of Will

“Surrender your Will to His Will” Rumi

“Behold! His Lord said to him: "Bow (thy will to Me)" He said: "I bow (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe" Surah Al Baqarah, 131

Free Will is a great responsibility. We create and destroy.

It is sad to witness many people are in chaos, struggling, suffering etc and especially my students whose mind keeps remitting to them things they do not wish. They complained about everything and being not enough, and that thinking doesn’t make them richer nor happier and solat does not give them the peace and tranquility they need. They suffer from anxiety, stress, unhappiness and other disorder. They are vulnerable and are not strong enough. They quiver and fear and are tied to their own illusion and afraid to lose the wealth of this world which they hold dear and depend upon for survival. Rather than surrendering to His Will, they suffer from anxiety, distress and other health issues is truly devastating.

"O' Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God" Rumi

Health and wealth of this world is a veil between us and Allah swt. Therefore, we are veiled from the Truth and His knowledge of the right path and have to follow nothing but fancy. When Maryam is healthy and wealthy, she did not look for Allah swt and did not even notice Him in everything that she see, sense, touch and grasps. But as soon as she is afflicted with health and wealth, she call out to Allah swt, O' Allah O' Allah hearken me, hearken me. Her health and wealth is therefore a veil and Allah's love is hidden in her sufferings and pain. Therefore, "suffering is a gift, a divine mercy."

“As long as people have wealth, they gratify their desires, and are preoccupied night and day with pleasures. The moment poverty appears, their spirits are weakened and they turn to God. God granted to Pharaoh four hundred years of life, kingship and enjoyment. All that was a veil, which kept him far from the presence of God. He did not even experience a single day of disagreeableness and pain, so that he would completely forget God. God said, “go on being preoccupied with your own desire, and do not even think of Me. Good night!” Rumi

“We shall leave him in the path he has chosen” Surah An Nisaa, 115

“Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how ye would behave!” Surah Yunus, 14

“Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve” Surah Al-Baqara, 112

The law of the Will is this: either you choose to be in His Will or you choose to disbelieve in His Will. If you choose to be in His great abiding Love, then surrender your Will to His Will. If you choose to disbelieved, then surrender your Will to your desires, lust and wishes. You are given the Free Will to choose, and you are given the ability to destruct your soul and to be strayed from the right path, or you can choose to be guided. Since your brain is composed of neurons, white matter, and signaling molecules that must also obey the laws of physics – reacting to forces, conserving momentum, etc. you have the Will to power upon your life the way you wish, which will be your destiny. You are hands that write your fate, either towards blessed or wretchedness.

“The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him)” Surah Al-Baqara, 132

Die not until you have surrendered your whole selves to Allah swt. My father once said, "if you chose to bring back to Allah swt all of your amal, knowledge and deeds, then, wait for the day when you will be asked to be accountable for it even in an atom’s weight. If you chose to bring back to Allah swt His Haq, that is between Allah swt and you, and on you shall be saved from the torments of hellfire. Therefore O’ daughter of Aminah, surrender your desire to uphold the desire of Your Lord and on you shall have no fear nor shall you ever grieve: asks, and it is given to you, seek and you shall find it with you. Get out from the lower world because in it is a prison of Qadr even the mountain refuses to accept due to its heavy burden but human beings, ignorantly accepted it."

But most of us understand not how to surrender to His Will because we are taught that life is predetermined and that our sufferings is preordained and there is nothing you can do about it. In Free Will, you are a wave particle, dead and alive, believed and disbelieved because in His Will, you cannot be both at the same time. 

When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath – Hadith Qudsi

In the realm of Free Will, Divine Will is always there to nurture, sustain and wipe your tears away. When all is lost and I feel despair, love came to tell me that something greater awaits me, if I want to, I can let Love in. When I struggle to stand up after everything is gone, His hands is always there to pick me up. Allah swt says, hand over your affairs to Me, I will take care of you if you let Me. But I did not listen. I ignored His signs and used the power of Free Will that was given to me to try harder, to stand up and fight back. But, I lost, again and again. Because His love is so great, greater than His creation of the universe, I was forced to come back to Him, willingly or unwillingly by smashing me hard enough until I could hardly breathe. I have no choice but to surrender to Him willingly so that His Will be done unto me. That is the power and beauty of His love. Whoever possesses such unconditional love my dear? But life of this world of illusion has veiled us from this Truth.

“It is good to feel helpless every moment, seeing yourself helpless in success, just as in failure. Above your capacity, there is Greater Capacity and your Will is subject to that Greater Will” Rumi

“Because free will is that wherewith ‘we honour Adam’ (Surah Al Israa’, 72). When power of choice is absent actions are worthless; but beware lest death snatch away your capital! Your power of choice is a capital yielding profit. Remember well, the day of final account! Free will exists so free will can be given up freely. Such a person feels no genuine delight if he or she is not drained empty. With all the delicious food and drink in the world, true pleasure comes only with the extinction of pleasure and its replacement by soul delight. Those who have gone through fana into baqa, through annihilation into that which has always been, become all body and all consciousness. With dissolving begins some overwhelming joy” ― Rumi, the Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems.

Divine Will is not changeable because it is preordained and predetermined for a destiny of Great Governance according to His mission, divine plan, purpose and desire. There is no bad nor imperfection in His providence. You are free to Will upon your life, whatever you choose, but Divine Will is always there to bring you back to the right path, by offering you sufferings. Ibn al-ʿArabī declares that he is one of these forms and that Allah honoured him with the supreme pillar, which is ‘the Treasury of Mercy’; thus Allah made him absolutely merciful despite his knowledge of hardship and sufferings. Because of this, Ibn al-ʿArabī often states that the world was originated from absolute mercy, and to mercy it shall return; any pain or wretchedness is therefore temporal and apparent. 

Free Will and the beauty of His Mercy is what makes His great name Ar Rahman Ar Raheem abide in creation. 

"Good is from Me, bad is from you O' men" Surah An Nisaa', 79

"You rave about the Holy Place (Masjidil Al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Mekkah that's inside" Rumi

Everything good that happened is an expression of Divine Will. Everything bad that happened is an expression of Free Will. In the realm of His Will, everything is effortless, stable and functional, just like the orbit of the sun and the moon and the nature of all things perfect, and the end result is always harmony and balance. But we are unable to see nor understand. Quantum effect is good to our growth as a human being. Quantum effect is fundamental to life on earth. A quantum effect is “any consequence of wave-particle duality” so that you are forcibly made to act on a measurement. An act of measurement by taking the Red Pill is the best decision I have ever made in my life. I wish I could have swallowed the Red Pill when I was younger. But Allah’s plan is the best of planner. The tree will bear its fruit at the right time after facing harsh winds, drought and insect attacks, when rain and sunshine falls upon itself, miracles happen.  

"And verily! It is We who give life and Who give death. It is We who remain inheritors (after all else passes away)" Surah Al Hijr, 23

"It is He who gives life and death, and to Him is due the alternation of night and day, will ye not then understand?" Surah Al Mu'minuun, 80

            "Who will cause me to die and to life again" Surah Asy Syu'araa, 81

"And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face" Surah Al Kahf, 28

"Bismillah your old self to find your real name" Rumi

My life is now a miracle. The Mekkah inside me surrendered to His love and my soul prostrate, abide and entangled to His great names, Ar Raheem Al Haadi Al Muhsee, the Nur that transformed my state of being. My new self is being reborn and my soul is alive to Him alone. Bismillah your old self and it is as good as dead. He is now my hearing to which I hear things you can't understand, the seeing to which I see things you can't see and perceived; and the movement in which I move not until He moves me. 

"And Allah loveth not those that does wrong" Surah Ali Imr'aan, 140

"O' ye who believe! If any from amongst you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love HIM" Surah Al Maaidah, 54

"Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah as equal with Allah: they love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah" Surah Al Baqarah, 165

"He is Oft-Forgiving and Full of Loving Kindness" Surah Al Buuruj, 14

Faith and Belief is described in terms of LOVE and Mercy.

"And among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things" Surah Al Fussilat, 39

Therefore O' ye who believed, there is no god but God. It is what it is and there is nothing else to be heard, remembered and said. This is supreme and purest knowledge, a majestic secret known to all lovers of Allah swt. It is righteous and accessible to anyone who wish to transmigrate from a soul that is dead to become alive to Him alone. 

Come! .......... I will show you the way.
