 “Verily! Man is in loss.”(103:2)

See where are you going? Indeed! Man is heedless then where you are turning
away? O mankind! Remember the Grace of Allah upon you! Is there any creator
other than Allah who provides rain for you from the sky and the earth? There is
no god but He. How then are you turning away? Where are you being taken astray?
Truth has become distinct from false, every being knows the truth but we have
closed our eyes and we have deceived ourselves. Surely we have both right and
wrong, good and evil, true and false, definite and indefinite but we don’t want
to differentiate. We have to see who is our Lord and who is Shaitan. 

Who knows what will happen with him? But Allah and His Prophet have given us
words and action and among them faith is first. The luckiest is he whose faith
is safe. Belief in Allah! But who is Allah?
“Verily! It is Allah Who causes the seed­-grain and the fruit-­stone (like
date stone, etc.)to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead,
and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allah, then how
are you deluded away from the truth? (He is the)Cleaver of the daybreak. He has
appointed the night for resting, and the sun and the moon for reckoning. Such is
the measuring of the Almighty, the All Knowing.”(6: 95&96)
Once someone asked Hazrat Ali (R.A), 'O'Amir al-mu'minin! Describe Allah for us
in such a way that we may imagine that we see Him with eyes so that our love and
knowledge may increase about Him. Amir al-mu'minin became angry at this (request
of the questioner) and ordered the Muslims to gather in the masjid. After he had
praised Allah and extolled Him and sought His blessings on the Prophet he said:
“Praise be to Allah whom refusal to give away and stinginess do not make rich
and Whom munificence and generosity do not make poor, although everyone who
gives away loses (to that extent)except He, and every miser is blamed for his
niggardliness.

He obliges through beneficial bounties and plentiful gifts and grants. The whole
creation is His dependants (in sustenance). He has guaranteed their livelihood
and ordained their sustenance. He has prepared the way for those who turn to Him
and those who seek what is with Him. He is as generous about what He is asked as
He is about that for which He is not asked. He is the First for whom there was
no 'before' so that there could be anything before Him.

He is the Last for whom there is no 'after' so that there could be anything
after Him. He prevents the pupils of the eyes from seeing Him or perceiving Him.
Time does not change over Him, so as to admit of any change of condition about
Him. He is not in any place so as to allow Him movement (from one place to
another).
If He gives away all that the mines of the mountains emit out or the gold,
silver, pearls and cuttings of coral which the shells of the ocean vomit out, it
would not affect his munificence, nor diminish the extent of what He has. (In
fact) He would still have such treasures of bounty as would not decrease by the
demands of the creatures, because He is that generous Being Whom the begging of
beggars cannot make poor nor the pertinacity of beseechers make miser.
(Then look on questioner), be confined to those of His attributes which the
Qur'an had described and seek light from the effulgence of its guidance. Leave
to Allah that knowledge which Satan has prompted you to seek and which neither
the Qur'an enjoins you to seek nor is there any trace of it in the actions or
sayings of the Prophet and other leaders of guidance. This is the extreme limit
of Allah's claim upon you. Know that firm in knowledge are those who refrain
from opening the curtains that lie against the unknown, and their
acknowledgement of ignorance about the details of the hidden unknown prevents
them from further probe.
Allah praises them for their admission that they are unable to get knowledge not
allowed to them. They do not go deep into the discussion of what is not enjoined
upon them about knowing Him and they call it firmness. Be content with this and
do not limit the Greatness of Allah after the measure of your own intelligence,
of else you would be among the destroyed ones.
He is Powerful, such that when imagination shoots its arrows to comprehend the
extremity of His power, and mind, making itself free of the dangers of evil
thoughts, tries to find Him in the depth of His realm, and hearts long to grasp
realities of His attributes and openings of intelligence penetrate beyond
description in order to secure knowledge about His Being, crossing the dark
pitfalls of the unknown and concentrating towards Him He would turn them back.
They would return defeated admitting that the reality of His knowledge cannot be
comprehended by such random efforts, nor can an iota of the sublimity of His
Honour enter the understanding of thinkers.” –Hazrat Ali (R.A)
You can read above words in Urdu in attach file.
I’ll continue INSHALLAH…….
NOTE:
Every day and every night is special if you avail that time and contact your
Lord in that very moment because Allah is waiting to spread His blessing every
time but some days are very special because our beloved Prophet Mohammed (peace
be upon him) mentioned those days. Ahead of us those days are coming of
Zulhajjah, the first ten days of Zulhajjah are really blessed, sacred and most
magnificent days in Islamic calendar.
“Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet said, "No good deeds done on other days are
superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some
companions of the Prophet said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad,
except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger
(for Allah's sake)and does Not return with any of those things.”(Sahih Bukhari,
Book #15, Hadith #86)
So avail these days by performing as mush Ibadah to Allah and Praise Allah with
His different attributes specially recite TAKBIRAT (from the 1st  ZulHajjah to
the 13th of ZulHajjah). (Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallahu, Wallahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahilhamd)(Allah is the greatest, Allah is the
greatest, There is no god but Allah and Allah is the greatest, Allah is the
greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.)
