As many know, there are amazing writings from the lighted book Nahjul Balagha; all his writings were compiled in this book, of the great author we all love, our beloved Imam Ali (as), the first (Shia) Imam. This sermon has more content to it, but I took an extract from it to share it with you.
How he describes Allah swt.: ” Praise be to Allah who is recognized without being seen and who creates without trouble. He created the creation with His Might and receives the devotion of rulers by virtue of his dignity. He exercises superiority over great men through His generosity. It is He who made His creation to populate the world and sent towards the jinn and human beings, His messengers to unveil it for them, to warn them of its harm, to present its examples, to show them its defects and to place before them a whole collection of matters containing lessons about the changing of health and sickness in this world, its lawful things and unlawful things and all that Allah has ordained for the obedient and the disobedient, namely, Paradise and Hell and honor and disgrace. I extend my praise to His Being as He desires His creation to praise Him. He has fixed for everything a measure, for every measure a time limit, and for every time limit a document.
In this short brief paragraph, you can learn so much about the creator! All though he has a brief paragraph in this sermon, but has more about Allah swt, in other sermons, indeed. As a person who believes in Allah (God) almighty, has many sentences that we can ponder about. I know many do not believe in Allah (God), or one has a different belief system about Allah (God), but this is our belief in Islam. Inshallah, if he wills, I will post more from his sermons from this ‘noorani’ (lighted) book.
To whoever is a non-Muslim brother and sisters, you may find it interesting and also learn our belief system, just for your knowledge, and of course for my Islamic brothers and sisters you and I can both learn from his writings, indeed.
Till Next time and next “my daily Noor” post, take care.
