thank you for commenting and i would never say it was a good post, after all, it is only a one-liner, but at that time it was an immediate thought of mine, so i just wanted it to be heard
yup, God is 'intangible' or more accurately, He is neither tangible nor intangible, because He is incomparable to any of us (an attribute of Allah is al-mukhalafatu lil-hawadith, being dissimilar to every creature in every respect) it is beyond our reach of mind to imagine or visualize how God actually exists
but we know He exists it is of human nature that we need God, that's why remote human civilizations and ancient civilizations will create their own God to complete this necessity we need to believe that our existence is due to a More Superior existence that created everything, and His existence is not created because He is the Most Superior, the only Creator
and we Muslims believe in Allah but just how much do we really believe in Him? imaan is not sufficient with 90% faith or 99% faith, we require a full 100% faith in His existence and that includes believing in death, believing in life after death, believing in judgment day, and believing in His words and commands so solah is one of them
we perform our solah because we believe in Him so how about those who profess their faith in Allah, but do not perform His commands?
i assume we are talking abt muslims.
ReplyDeletei think i'd be lost.
honestly, if you dont believe in Allah, Who has / knows everything, how can you even make up your thoughts about life, about urself even.
it is like lying to yourself. You know it's wrong but still doing it. You know it's right but you still denying it.
You will feel absolutely, Incomplete. like there's a hole. empty hollow hole inside you that can never be satisfied.
to just believe and have faith in something you cant even imagine. like the heaven and hell. or like soul...
it is like when you are talking abt "heart", it doesnt mean you liver for instance and it also doesnt mean your cardiac.
bt it means spiritual heart.
and when it involved something intangible, its never easy.
May Allah have mercy on us :)
p.s. Trust me it DID took me some time to reply to this good post. thx for sharing ur thought :)
