The plane fell from its height into a deep turbulence, which lasted a second or two, at the age of an hour, and a day or two in the age of sensation.. How can all these events and memories pass through the mind in one second?
The passengers screamed, and some cried in panic and fear, and some laughed hysterically after the accident, and each mother held on to her child.
The moment ended, and silence prevailed, except for some supplications, praise be to God.
I had a strange feeling, in the moment and beyond. I asked myself who is God speaking with now..in this second.
And when I asked the question, I imagined that God was communicating with me directly, saying, “I am closer to you than your jugular vein. I communicate with all of my creation, whether human or plant, animal, insect, or even inanimate matter.. and because He provided man with what he did not give others, which is the ability to think.” Awareness of himself and others, and of his Creator, and providing him with reason and will, so his communication with him is permanent and continuous. As for man, he opens the line of communication with his Lord when desired, when fear and dread, when sick and complaining, and the majority chose not to listen directly to God except through a mediator, even if his time has passed thousands of years ago.
I looked around and found children, youth, old people and old people..Does God speak to them in the same language? Do they see it with the same minds?
It occurred to me that God, in His wisdom, has gradually revealed the heavenly religions according to the degree of human maturity. This is Moses and the Torah in a small society, a sectarian system, magic and material power that almost overwhelmed the power of emotion, and a great deal of selfishness that considers God dedicated to the children of Israel alone.. a logic that resembles children. And their created selfishness.. Then Christianity came with the passion of love and ideals and the miraculous personality of Christ with his peace and gentleness, as if it were the stage of humanity’s youth. Until the wisdom of God saw that humanity had reached the stage of maturity, to reach the truth through reason and thinking, so God sent the Messenger of Islam not for a specific group but for all of humanity, not with material miracles, but with the miracle of the word, science and knowledge.
Even the prayer that he imposed on us, most of us have understood it as a form and ritual over time, not guaranteed. Most people think that it is just an obligation, worship and a guide to obedience, and in fact its goal is to remind man to communicate with God Almighty to raise his destiny and revive his conscience.
And I asked myself again, and how does God speak, so that people can hear Him…. The sending of messengers and prophets used to talk about him and his time, which had ended, but those who claimed these abilities followed their path after them. Indeed, even Islam, which forbade mediation between humans and their Lord, and abolished fortune-telling and sacrifices, now appears to it who claim the ability to grant instruments of lawful and unlawful, penance and condemnation, as if God speaks to them only and does not communicate except through them.
But I think. He went deeper, and by analyzing my experience over the years, I reached that God communicates with us now through our feelings, our thoughts, our experiences in life, and finally with the words he said at her time in the pages of the Holy Qur’an and clearly asked us to consider this Qur’an valid for every age, so Muslims do not develop their understanding Which must coincide with the maturity of the mind and the expansion of knowledge, rather they want to stop time at the time of the revelation of the Qur’an..which is the opposite of what the Messenger said and what the Qur’an reveals.
Interpreting it with more than one meaning, with situations, circumstances and time of saying it, and most importantly with the breadth of human knowledge.
I give the same reference book to a bachelor’s student, a master’s student and a doctoral student, and each of them understands and is aware of the same subject in a more profound way and analyzes the same information in a different way due to the maturity of the experience, the passage of time and the repetition of reading..
God also communicates with ideas, and sometimes He gives us His messages with what comes to mind and what does not come to mind that they are messages from Him. Rather, He sometimes gives us visions of the future through imagination and the curiosity of knowledge that He has bestowed upon us, and flashes of intelligence that make us explore life, science and knowledge, which actually exist before its discovery, and we rise to know it. The universe and its Creator are better and deeper.
God communicates with us through our experiences in life, experience is the key to experience, experience is the path of wisdom, and wisdom opens our eyes to God’s closeness to us, which we may not know or feel despite his constant communication with us.
Words come after feelings, thoughts and experience, because they are a means that can be misunderstood, reinterpreted, and even used for other than the purposes of their saying after they are cut out from the content of broader meanings.
The strange thing is that over time, we made only words our means of communicating with God, and we repeat the word of God, the word of God, and we speak in the name of God, but rather we hear the Qur’an, which is actually the word of God, as if it were singing without listening, or even trying to understand, and we overlook our experiences, our feelings, and our thoughts that we can Through our minds and accumulation of our knowledge better interpreted than our ancestors.
I wrote and read it to my family after returning, and my son said to me:
“Sometimes people have evil thoughts, so how do we differentiate between them and the messages of God that God sends to us and us?”
I told him, “God’s messages must contain clarity, truth, love, justice, and even joy. Evil is the absence of good, and God only creates good and says nothing but good.”
My daughter asked me
Are there certain individuals who are able to communicate without others with God? Are there special times for communication?”
She replied:
“Many believe that God has special ways of communicating with humans and that only the privileged can choose them.
A question that people ask and even believe in this particularity, but I see that all people and every person is a special person, and there is no specific time for his communication with God. God communicates with us all the time.
The privacy of God’s communication with certain individuals removes the majority of human beings from the responsibility of direct communication available with God, and to listen to His messages, and even pushes them to take what others say as an alternative. In this case, we have replaced our negative will, we have replaced God who does not stop communicating with every human being, to listen to His messages through others.. We have invented a substitute and mediator for what is available to us directly from our Creator. We decided to listen
