ما لكم لا ترجون لله وقارا

مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Some verses of the Qur'an are so 'literal' and it is so obvious. We can see the moon, we can see the sun, but we choose to be oblivious to what Allah has created. We do not ponder in amazement at the beauty and all that Allah has subdued for us in the world. We do not become amazed when our children are born and see how Allah fashions, creates from a sperm drop and indeed like a plant how we grow in stages.

When we step outside our homes, outside our cities and explore Allah's earth, why do we feel such exhilaration and peace? We start to realise the bigger picture, that we are tiny specks in Allah's universe and kingdom. We are subjective in nature, looking at small things we are mesmerised by the latest phone or gadget. Yet, we do not look objectively at the world and our purpose from a bird's eye view. We are too busy, too preoccupied by a great deal of meaninglessness. 

If your heart feels heavy, go outside and look at Allah's Creation and realise everything has been created for a purpose and contains His wisdom.  Be in awe of Allah, the Creator, the only God.

Taking walks, travelling are all wonderful ways of 'self care' because we learn and it places things into perspective.

We need to remind ourselves constantly, until we leave our spiritual confinement. Confinement(s) of what is meaningless and insignificant, so that our hearts can see more than even our eyes.

Before, we return back into the ground may we focus upon the larger and bigger picture: our purpose. Leaving what will not benefit us and redirecting ourselves with what will benefit us. May Allah only return us back to Him when He is pleased with us ameen.

Omodara. Mashaallah.  Our Lord manifests His Greatness in all things. Subhannallah! The sky! Recently I watched a tiny golden leaf falling slowly to the ground in a twirl, spinning fashion.  In those few seconds I remembered the ayyat of falling leaves and then just before it touched the ground,  it flew up and away. A tiny golden butterfly.  It was an amazing feeling.  Subhannallah.
