Muhammad

This passage contains a few verses and small clips of verses from the Quran. I particularly like the one "Do not despise the world, for the world too is God". So often we look down on the world and talk about what awful immoral things the world is doing and whatnot, and this reminds us that even that, is God. It is all God's will and everything is the way it is for a reason. Though we may not understand it, we must come to terms with it if we ever wish to be happy within ourselves, instead of constantly trying to renounce it and force it to change.

Another good quote from here is "My servant does not cease to come near me until I love him", saying that you never stop getting closer to God until you are one with him. No matter how far you stray you are always on the path to God, and you will always be led naturally towards him. It also goes on to point out that when you truly know God, he is every part of you. You become God, and God becomes you, when you surrender to his will and know him.

  1. I agree with your comment of "Though we may not understand it, we must come to terms with it if we ever wish to be happy within ourselves, instead of constantly trying to renounce it and force it to change." I think people spend too much time and energy in trying to fix and change things, when in most cases we should just take it as it is!
