    Share this with everyone you wish: TO ALLAH, MY CREATOR AND THE CREATOR OF ALL, THE MAJESTIC (Al-JALEEL ), THE SUBLIME (AL-ALIY) O Allah, You have created everything; the seen and the unseen. All that I cannot see is infinitesimal and what I can see and beyond is astronomical in its immenseness. My perception of all dimension is minuscule, while You and Your Creation transcend any means of measurement. Your Greatness is indescribable and I am truly humbled. Your Quran, given to humanity as a guidance, has stated some of Your innumerable Attributes. In my feeble attempt to understand Your Attributes, I am confined by the parameters of my intellect. I am seeking a glimpse, through whatever accumulated knowledge I find available, to achieve closeness to You and Your Favour. Due to my boundaries, I will never attain the comprehension of Your True Mystery nor a realization of Your Essence. You are my Rabb, and I am Your slave and worshipper. You are my Creator and I am overcome by waves of “awe” knowing that no one is able to fathom You. My faculties are limited, yet everything concerning You is limitless. On any and every level, Your Greatness is astounding and I am repeatedly reduced to abject humility. Sufficient proof of Your Divine Presence and Majesty exist in the Signs of Your Creation - Signs that strengthen my faith in You, my reliance upon You and, my submission to You; all of which I owe to You, my Creator. I have placed my faith and my trust in You and You have provided me a comforting refuge in Islam. Allah, You have surrounded me with innumerous blessings, whether apparent or hidden; some are seen but the majority are unseen. Suffice it that I declare, in my appreciation, that my Creator has provided for my wellbeing and that of His Creation, both physically and spiritually. By Allah’s Infinite Mercy, He has imbedded mankind with Fitrah, a predisposition towards the belief in the Oneness of Allah, to have Faith in Allah and, to Love Allah. Our Creator is the only One who is worthy of worship and my innate created purpose is to worship Him Alone. By Allah’s Mercy, Inshallah, I hope to be led to the pathway of eternal peace and bliss. By seeking the Pleasure of Allah, I wish to be guided on a pious mission towards the ultimate success - Jannah al-Fardous and the Eternal Closeness to Allah. Ameen, Ya Rabb al-Alameen. ( Please show “Gratitude” to Allah for all His Blessings.)
