WHO AM I – an abridge insight

I am not following the philosophical point of view of any known authors of the western world to find the reality. But I am utilizing this life to discover myself, my existence, and the Only God - Allah. With that, I found the reality. We did not send to this world accidentally. What we need on this journey enable to accomplish this mission is to find the connection with the divine power in us.

If I say I am God, then there must be another God aside from me. God must be two, three or even billion. And that is unacceptable. Human cannot be God though the soul came from God. The Soul of Man is a reflection, being a reflection it has no power to move and no will to do his plan.

The doer in the human body is the soul, and the soul is the holder of God attributes.  The power of God is what moves human. Even soul cannot move by himself without the will of the Main source. What is the soul then? The soul is not the Truth of Truth. But the Truth reveal through the soul to whom He entrusted His Secret.  Human cannot fully understand this without him burning his existence with the fire of faith (Ibn Al-Arabi). The Faith is what reveals the treasure from its chest.

The question now, what if I will commit a sin, does it mean God permits me to do that?

In reality, God did not encourage any of His creation to do what is forbidden. It is his desire, which received the command from the devil that tempts a man to commit sin. The den of the devil is in the human mind. The Qur’an says “Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. (Sahih International, Qur’an 36:60).

To follow satan is tantamount to worship him. But we usually don’t get rid of it. Lest we forget, satan had given the authority to mislead a human.  

“ [Iblees (Satan)] said: 0 my Lord! Because you mislead me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all. Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them”(15:39-40). 

In this verse Allah has specified those who cannot mislead by Satan – the “(Guided) slaves". It is the reason why most people – regardless of faith - enthusiastically search for truth. Because Truth is the only savior.

The truth is neither out there in the universe nor in the deepest part of the earth. It can be found in ourselves. Search for it in yourself, look for a master who can pinpoint to you the way to the Truth. The search is still open to us while we are still breathing this life in this temporal world.

Who am I is an important question to know ourselves. But do not use your mind to control the data you got, let your soul be the judge.
