Way of knowing Allah

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

    ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ 102

  لَّا تُدْرِكُهُ ٱلْأَبْصَٰرُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ ٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ 103

Natural desire of the human being is that he should know Allah Almighty. However, it is some other matter, if he becomes indolent due to being involved in the worldly works and business, otherwise, wherever he got some time for thinking, these thoughts besieged him there: Who is my Creator? What is this sky? Who did originate the sun, moon, stars, earth, mountains, rivers, seas etc.? Who does provide me food, water, clothes and usable things?

The Devil desires to keep the human being away from such thoughts. His only attempt is to keep the mankind entangled in the worldly works, relishes and lusts in such a manner that the human being may not think on these questions. So at first, he wants to stop the mankind thinking by answering these questions ordinarily and misguides: These things have been coming eternally as they are and will go forth always in the same way. You should try only to reap advantage from these things. He says to the human being: O mankind! Behold! What sorts of and how much relishes and pleasures are for you in the world? Give up false thinking and try to enjoy the world.

But there are some such people, who think deeply about above mentioned questions. For them Satan thinks that they should be involved in any such difficulty, from which they may not come out, because the aim is that they may not know Allah (God) Almighty. The Devil tries his best to keep the human being away from Allah and that Path, which leads straight forward to Him.

For protecting the mankind from these tricks of Satan, Allah Almighty sent down the Holy Qur’an, the actual object of which is that the humankind should recognize Allah Almighty. So He guides him to think deeply upon the above mentioned questions, while the Devil prevents him from reflecting into these matters and wishes to keep the mankind entrapped in worldly life and its relishes, or he teaches that philosophy and science can be useful in all matters also without Allah.

If we meditate in the previous verses, we may understand clearly that life of this world is of no value. After this, the life of the Hereafter is the actual life. The person, who will recognize it, will certainly believe in Holy Qur’an. And then, the Noble Qur’an will describe them that nothing has been kept in the world. The real thing is worship of Allah Almighty and the prayer is a form of worship. The prayer will prevent him from being ensnared every time in the world and will open the Way of Knowing Allah. That person, who will offer the prayer, will understand that it will become difficult to be saved, if he considered the worldly work everything, and after that there will be nothing for him but severity and torment.

There is no doubt that every animate being have to die. While the death is beyond question, then why should not be died in such a manner that the soul come out from the body easily and get immediately ease and comfort forever. Those people, who will reflect in the verses of previous two sections, they will find the simple answers of above questions very soon, summary of which is: Allah Almighty created the mankind and the entire things of the world too for his rest and ease. But the human being has not been born for the only purpose that he would have been entangled in the world. Moreover, he has been created for the reason that he should know Allah and worship Him. He should know it as own betterment of the both worlds, otherwise he is in danger. The end will be the worst.
