REMEMBERING GOD MEDITATION
ABOUT GOD
God is the Greatest. He is greater than everything because in and out is Him. There is nothing above Him, There is nothing on His right and nothing on His left. There is nothing other than He. God is greater. God is greatest.
So how can man go and be occupied with something greater than God? It must be in relation to God because other than God is void. So how can you make your problem or interest other than God?
When the person knows himself well, he becomes the picture of God. He sees with the eyes of God and hears with the ears of God. His picture is the picture of Him. He is in everything because He puts the secret in every appearance of the appearance of existence. It is through the existence that God sees Himself manifest.
There is nothing, only the unity. Everything is one thing. All is one truth. In Him there is no beginning and no end. There are no numbers. God is all in all. There is no difference between men and women, black and white. There are no pictures — only one picture because everything is in Him.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
The Holy scriptures make it clear:
“I created the jinn and humankind
only that they might worship (or serve) Me.”
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind ”
“The people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.”
THE PRACTICE
To Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah. Allah is Immense, Knowledgeable.
Start the meditation session by reminding yourself of the intention: To see Allah's Face everywhere.
Begin by sitting comfortably. Take a couple of deep breaths, and turn inward.
As thoughts, images, feelings, sensations, or anything that arises in consciousness, just NOTICE them. NOTICE them like we might NOTICE cars passing by on a roadway. Then say mentally (or even out loud):
This too is Your Face
You brought it forth
Your Presence is within it.
For example, if you notice your breath say mentally: This too is Your Face; You brought this forth; Your Presence is within it. Then relax until the next thing arises in your consciousness.
Repeat this process for the remainder of the session.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Always take what you get from each session. Allah will guide if we let Him.
FOR IT IS IN THE REMEMBRANCE OF GOD THAT HEARTS FIND REST.
