Ep.7 : Story of Musa (AS) and life design - Meeting Allah SWT..
This was a peak moment in the life of Prophet Musa (AS)
He was lost in the desert, and he saw that fire, and thought about finding guidance on the way to Egypt ...

He did not know that he was guided to a much bigger path, and a bigger journey ....

When we know Allah, we know ourselves, 
and when we dismiss Allah and take him out of the 'self-help' paradigm, we know nothing about ourselves.

This is a very powerful episode and reflection from a life design perspectibe...

JUZ 16
MUSA (AS) IN WADI THUWA

Pay attention to the ayahs that the Imaam recites during Taraweeh.  Whichever verses you hear; that is YOUR Gift. 

Just like how Musa AS was Gifted with miracles during his meeting with Allah SWT; the verses you hear is meant for you. It may not be relevant at that moment but just like Musa's Gifts; it would come in handy when the right instance or the right circumstance presents itself.

Going through the above verses from surah TaHa ,i was thinking how it would be to stand in front of Allah ..

And then i thought Alhamdulillah how blessed we believers are, to have : 

'Minimum 5 PRIVATE MEETINGS with the KING OF KINGS/LORD OF THE WORLDS' each day..

Allahuakbar.....
Subhanallah.....
Alhamdulillah.....

Even after receiving the pass for this beautiful sacred meeting,are we treating  'Salah' as one of the BEAUTIFUL GIFT from our LORD or are we thoughtless and in a rush to conclude the meeting quickly ??

May Allah help us to be thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon us small and big,and to benefit from those blessings.

اللهم أعني على ذكرك، وشكرك، وحسن عبادتك

Transliteration
Allahumma A’inni Ala Zikrika wa Shukrika wa Husni Ibadatika

Meaning
The General meaning of the dua is 'O Allah help me in remembering You, in thanking You, and to worship You in the most excellent manner'

The next time you recite Surah Al Taha in your Salah especially, or outside of it. Imagine yourself to be Musa ( Alayhi Assalaam) and replace your life story with his life story, 
Outside of Salah pretend to have that conversation and reflect and see how your Lord Has favored you and chosen you, and shaped you for who you are and then take on life with in mind.
I speak to myself with this reflection. May Allah Grant Wisdom to appreciate His favors upon us.

﷽

In the silent embrace of these sacred verses, my soul journeys through time, transcending the confines of the present moment. Surah Najm, a tapestry woven with divine testimony, unfurls before me, revealing the blessed encounter of Prophet Muhammad SAW with the celestial realms. I am but a humble spectator, transported to an era where the Prophet SAW stood as a witness to the descent of Jibril AS in the seventh heaven.

The words resonate, echoing the grandeur of that cosmic meeting. I may not witness as he did, yet the verses envelop me in the splendour of the Lote tree, standing sentinel at the edge of the universe. A profound serenity sweeps over my heart, as if I, too, stand in the proximity of my Lord. The strength, beauty, and noble character of the beloved Prophet unfold in the cosmic expanse, where Allah's greatest signs manifest.

These verses, a divine gift bestowed upon us from the wellsprings of Allah's love and mercy, grant a glimpse, a mere fraction, of the profound experience bestowed upon His chosen messenger SAW. SubhanAllah, the ascension of Prophet Muhammad SAW in Surah Najm becomes a conduit, guiding me to the sacred verses of Surah Taha.

Here, the narrative reveals—the meeting of Hazrat Musa AS with the Divine. Goosebumps ripple across my being as Allah's words reverberate, a cosmic conversation echoing through the ages. 'I am indeed your Lord,' the Creator declares, a revelation that ripples through the corridors of time. The admonition follows a gentle reminder not to be swayed by the disbelievers, whose hearts are tethered to fleeting desires.

O Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, grant us the strength to be worthy vessels of Your divine revelation. May our hearts be attuned to the celestial melodies that echo through the Quran, and may our souls be purified to receive the light of Your guidance.

Guide us, O Allah, on the path illuminated by the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad SAW and Hazrat Musa AS. Grant us the wisdom to discern distractions from the straight path and fortify our hearts against the allure of transient desires.

In our pursuit of knowledge and spiritual ascent, may we be granted the honour of standing in the ultimate meeting with You, the Lord of the Universe. Ameen
