Small Things in Time

God says in a famous Hadis-e-Qudsi:

I was a Hidden Treasure and loved to be known. Therefore I created the Creation that I might be known.

Hence the very truth of this world lays in the desire to be known. One desires to be known by those who he loves. Hence God created the noor of Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad, whome He loved so much, and they were the first to know Him.

God wants a human to know Him, for He loves him so much. Human however doesn’t listen. Happiness of a human lays in listening to Him, so that the human can enjoy the happiness of being loved. Following His ways are a bliss for a human. But a human pays no attention.

God is just. He keeps calling the human towards himself with love. He calls a human in a way which is most desirable for a human, a way which makes a human happy.

When a human pays no attention, He gets very angry. But He doesn’t bring His wrath on the man, for He loves him. He is very patient. He is very forgiving. So He forgives a human for paying no attention, for a human is weak. And He calls upon the human again and keeps calling him. He wants the human to come to happiness that can only be found in His ways. He doesn’t want to deprive the human of the happiness in spite of all his mistakes. So He keeps calling the human towards Himself with love, and in ways which are most desirable for the human.

The man doesn’t listen because he cannot understand. Since God is so compassionate, He teaches a man His words, in easy terms, so that he can understand. God tells a human of how much He likes him. God tells human that He created him in the most perfect way. God tells human of His blessings on him. He tells him how He forgave him for his mistakes, for that is an utter blessing and compassion. God tells a human why His ways are the best ways. God doesn’t need to tell human all that. He does it only because He loves human so much, and He wants a human to know Him, and find happiness in His ways.

God also listens to a human. He asks human to talk to him. And He wants a human to talk to Him, for He loves him so much. So when a human talks to Him, He is very happy and He brings even more blessings on him.

He also warns, for His anger is as big as His love. He is patient and forgiving, but He is also strict at doing justice. He keeps a record of everything a human does, so that one day He can bring all of human’s acts in front of him. That day will be very hard for a human. He warns, since He doesn’t want to bring His wrath right away, for He is very compassionate.

He tells a human that if he will listen to Him, he will forever live in a life of comfort and happiness. He tells all these things to a human, so that a human might listen. If a human listens himself, God is very happy, and He sets a human free from all worries. He sets him free from all rules, for he listens to Him. However, if a human doesn’t listen to Him, he then brings rules upon a human, and orders him to follow them. God doesn’t like to order a human, for He is so compassionate. But His compassion also requires that He brings a human to the path of his own happiness. So when a human doesn’t understand, He orders him and give him rules. Its only when clear rules are broken is when He gets angry and bring His wrath to a human. But He also forgives him again, for a human is weak.

Human disappoints God. But God is very patient and just. So He gives human chances. And He gives him more and more understanding, still reaching out to him with love. Then God waits enough, so that there is enough reason to bring His wrath on a human. And when there is enough reason, He leaves a human on his own.

He warns that if a human does what He wants, He will give to the human, everything that he wants as well. But if he doesn’t do what He wants, He will leave him alone. He will leave a human on his own. And His indifference towards a human is His wrath, and its a wrath a human cannot endure. God is very compassionate, but he is also “be-nayaz“.

God created a human on His own way. He gave him emotions which belonged to Him.

For those who want to understand, there is great wisdom in things I say.
