📷 Seeing is like eating.
Seeing is like eating food. Whatever you see, it is as if you are consuming it. God has said, “Then let man look at his food.” (Qur’an, 80:24) This means that he should see what is entering his soul. Seeing does not mean scenes passing in front of our eyes. Whatever we see enters our soul with all its purities or impurities, and it will not easily leave our soul.

📕 Obeying the rules for prayer is the first condition to being polite in front of God.
📌 The Memory of a Friend’s Unique Way of Praying at the Front
📌 Mr. Panahian, “I was struggling with myself, ‘God what should I do? Should I tell him, or not?’”
💠 At the front, I was friends with a certain person for a while. When my friend would prostrate in praying, he would gather himself tightly into a ball in such a way that the distance between his forehead and his knees was nearly a hand span. Instead of putting his toes on the ground, he would put the backs of his feet on the ground. This prayer is not accepted; because, while prostrating, the distance between a person’s forehead to his knees should be enough for his knees to be on the ground correctly so that he can be supported by them. In addition, a person should put the tips of his big toes on the ground.
When this friend of mine would say, “Subhana Rabbi al-A’la wa Bihamdih,” he would pull out the words very much and say them in a special way like this, “Subana Rabbi al-Ala…”
💠 However, he was in his own world and he prayed nicely. I mean his voice was nice, but his pronunciation was wrong. Instead of saying, “A’la” he said, “Ala” and instead of “Subhana” he said, “Subana”.
💠 I was struggling with myself, ‘God what should I do? Should I tell him, or not? Should I hide my friend’s fault for our friendship not to be ruined, or should I tell him for him to understand his mistake? Finally, I made up my mind and told myself, “Let me tell my friend his mistake.”
- Why do you gather yourself tightly into a ball while prostrating? Why do you moan like that? Your moaning was nice but your pronunciation was wrong.
- I enjoy being with Gos more when I do these!
- You’re wrong to want to enjoy God! If God wanted, He knew how to make the rules of prayer simpler for us to be free and easily enjoy Him. God couldn’t realize these things when He put these strict rules?!
💠 For propagating prayer, it is not right for us to tell the youth, “O dear young person, come and enjoy. If you don’t do the prostration, it is alright. Or, if you see that you’re in the mood, you can prostrate three times! That’s fine!” Instead, we must say, “Obeying the rules for prayer is the first condition to being polite in front of God. Being polite comes before loving and being in love.”

📷 Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the day, which you may never see. And, yesterday is the day, which you will definitely see in the Hereafter again. Today is the day in which you have two important opportunities. One is the opportunity to make up for your mistakes in the past, and the other is the opportunity to prepare for the goodness of tomorrow. Your tomorrow is built today, so don’t postpone today’s work to tomorrow.

📷 The Grace of God
The world is not a safe place. If we have security, it is due to God’s Grace. The Hereafter is not a cheap place. If we have hope for calm there, it is due to God’s Grace. Satan is not satisfied with less than our destruction. If his animosity does not yield results, it is due to God’s Grace. The consequences of our sins are catastrophic. If they do not result in a catastrophe, it is due to God’s Grace. Our existence is due to God’s Grace.

📷 Good Fortune
Life is not a search for good fortune and an attempt to get it. Life is a struggle to keep good fortune. Being created was good fortune. We must try not to lose it. This outlook doubles a person’s power and gives one more hope.

📷 Removing Suffering
We cannot do something to never suffer in this world. However, we can reduce our suffering. The first thing we must do to reduce our suffering is to not sin. Secondly, we must be patient. The beginning of patience and increasing this capacity in ourselves comes with knowing that the world is the place of suffering and that it is impossible to eliminate suffering from the life in this world.

📷 In His Control
God insists in a particular way to have control and management of our lives. Sometimes He disarranges our programs and replaces them with His own plans, and this definitely gives better results. However, we do not like our predictions to be wrong. The more we become aware that control is not in our own hands before God, the more we will believe in the One God.

📷 The Condition for Sublimity
God busies us with this world, and then he tells us to free ourselves from it. If we had never entered the world, it was easy to stay separated and not become polluted. However, this was God’s decree for our formation and sometimes His decree for our growth in obeying Him, which says we must enter this world. Some people try to escape from the scene of becoming involved with the world by ignoring some of their duties. These people will never reach to sublimity.
