January 13, 2002: Taking Account of Ourselves

Ihsan – you worship Allah سبحانه و تعال as if you see Him & if you can’t see Him, then know that He sees you.

In the hereafter, believers will be given the vision to see Allah سبحانه و تعال

The reality is that Allah سبحانه و تعال watches us every single moment

The idea that this is happening – imagining that you are standing and worshipping the creator of the universe or at least to imagine that He is watching you.

Muraqabah – you watch/reflect on yourself

There are different forms. Take some time to reflect. The following examples help develop relationship with Allah سبحانه و تعال

Ex.1 Sit and imagine yourself before Allah سبحانه و تعال . You’ve got to present yourself and explain what you’ve done with your time.

Ex.2 imagine you’re lying in your grave and all the punishments of the grave and you know that all of those punishments have a cause

Ex.3 you imagine it is the DOJ and you imagine how you are now & if you are ready

Etc. etc.
Take account of yourselves before account is taken of you!
