Can we see branches of trees fighting, tearing one another down?
No. Because they are conscious that they are part of one tree.
Do we see 'nations' and peoples, families fighting one another, depriving one another? If so, it is because they forgot they are from the same tree and root. Similarly with ourselves — our thoughts, feelings, and motives can sometimes feel conflicted, because our attention has been drawn away from the root and foundation of our existence in the light of the Soul.
This whole universe is comprised of diversity in appearances, but we know there is harmony and wisdom in our souls. When you remember Allah, take time to breathe and settle into the merciful, forgiving and liberating Root of your Existence, you’ll find layers of communication, beautification, and revelation running through the bloodstream that makes up your being. The time for spiritual, emotional, and social courage is here and now.
To believe is resting, feeling, thinking and acting out of what truly is at the root of our Existence of Honorable and Loving Reverence. The more intentional we are in observing and appreciating, the more we will be given the Light of Allah's beauftiful Names and Attributes to 'Read in the Name of Your Lord'. This is the Primordial, Original Way of our wise ancestors revived and manifested again with our beloved Muhammad ï·º (Peace Be Upon Him) in the Night of Power, Measure, Destiny in this Blessed Month of Ramadan 1443 years ago.
So if we find quareling, agitation, frustration and despair creeping around... perhaps these are signals that we have lost connection to our Root, a Root which is indeed near, intimate, luminous, and Loving.
Remember, breathe, yield, surrender to the Love of Allah and the Prophet ﷺ which is indeed subtle and active in the breath at the Root of our Existence. 🌳
