So what about you? Allah Almighty is giving everything its form. Designing it and then making it to appear. Countless designs! Your mind can't carry it. Its impossible to reach to the perfection, wisdom, Knowledge, power, or to the capacity of the Creator.

La ilaha il-Allah

The Creator says, Come and be. Come and show yourself and say SubhanAllah". The smallest atom is hearing and obeying. and every atom or electron is given a different glorification, as each has its own personality. as you are different from that one, and another different from he. So, their Allahu Akbar!

It is ignorance not to use your mind for such things. We Were ordered to do so. As deep as you go, you will find bigger wisdom oceans of power. May our Lord give us chance to think about

such things. It may lead us to His endless glory and power oceans.

Pity for people. Coming to live, and thinking only for their

stomachs. Never giving their mind a chance to think about anything else. So ther mind doesn't give a chance to their hearts to be for their Lord, Allah Almighty.

Most people are on the level of animals, or less, because animals glorify.

Grandsheikh said

" THE SMALLEST PIECE OF MATTER MUST HAVE A NAME, IF IT HAS A PERSONALITY."

in the same way that everyone through a town has a different phone number.

You are a human. The most high and valuable of all creatures. Honour is only for those who serve. And they will have many running after them, trying to make them look back and turn from their way. That is all they may do, as they cannot take your heart in their grasp with their hands. 

They may reach to your physical body and take that away, but the Iman in your heart they cannot touch. Your heart must be with Allah, or dunya. One or the other. If with dunya their hands may reach to squeeze you. But if your heart is with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala they may not reach. He will protect you so that they can't reach.

If your heart is with Allah, then your physical body's actions will never harm you. Never!

We cannot imagine being closer to Allah Almighty, physically, but when you keep your soul (heart) with Allah Almighty, then you become closer to His Divine presence, and that carries your body to be in the Divine presence. But if you follow your physical desires, your soul cannot carry you to the Divine presence.

Those who are really alive, are living with Allah. At least when we pray we must try to be with Allah Almighty, then it will Spread after the prayer, and the blessings will run through all of

Our actions during twenty-four hours. Honour is for people who are really alive. We made an oath on the Day of Promises, to Allah, that we would be with Him, and not leave Him. But once here, we leave Him.

Honour for believers, depends on their Nur .Their rank and closeness to Allah, here and hereafter , depends upon it. So we must look for Nur.

There is not one moment, even for the blink of an eye, that the Holy Prophet ﷺ is is not with Allah. If not with Allah, with whom should he be? What else is there more Important than to be with Allah? Is there anything with more honour that to sit with Allah? And He is saying,

"I AM SITTING WITH THE ONE WHO REMEMBERS ME." (Hadith)

If you are with Allah, Allah will be with you. And this is what is expected from you. Say, "O my Lord. You are that which I am asking for." (my aim).

Someone who intends to go Somewhere always has that aim in his sight. Your aim must be to reach to the Ocean of Unity (Oneness).

All difficulties and problems occur because we are far from Allah. The one who is far from Allah, is not with Allah.

Therefore, being far from Allah is the reason for all difficulties, Sins, depression, worries and dangers (here, and in the Hereafter).

He who reaches the Unity Ocean, merges with Allah. Like a drop of water falling, coming closer and closer to the ocean, and when entering, nothing is left from him.

ALL PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS COME FROM BEING FAR AWAY FROM ALLAH.

All Sufi orders, especially Naqshbandi, try to encourage people, to ask to be with Allah. He is with you but you are not with Him. He didn't forget you. He is with you, wherever you are. Even in Barzakh, on the day of judgment, or in paradise. There is no place where He is not with His servants.

Time with Allah is of the highest rank, and is of the greatest value.

Be with Allah. where is Allah? Allah the Creator. His existence is forever. No beginning and no ending. No one may be like Himself. Only One.

" WHERE IS HE?" YOU CANNOT ASK. BUT YOU MAY ASK, " WHERE IS HE NOT? WHERE IS HE NOT THERE? CAN YOU FIND ANYWHERE WITHOUT ALLAH?"ABSOLUTE EXISTENCE IS ONLY FOR HIMSELF. HIS EXISTENCE FILLS EVERYWHERE. YOU KNOW IT, OR NOT?

He is with the smallest piece of mass. Even if smaller that an atom, still He is with it. If not, then no existence for it. Allah must be with everything from what He created. Therefore you may ask from Him.

He is not away from you, but perhaps you are far away from yourself. Because you don't know who you are. Physically or spiritually. No-one knows his personal identity and no-one knows what his ego is. Or his soul. And your spiritual beings

hidden from you. To know, there must be long and difficult work, in order to reach to it's hidden identity. Patiently, step by step.

Allah Almighty likes His servant to cry, shout and ask from Him. Always. And He likes for us to be like lions. Who Is with his Lord, is like a lion. And who is with his ego, is like a jackal, Which is a dirty and harmful animal. The lion is the king of the jungle. when he growls, everyone fears. The lion never fears. All animals live in groups, but the lion is alone and never accepts another within its area. Groooowwl!
