From sole to soul

Image
By
This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

I woke up to the sou-nd of rain. I am thinking about my soles and my soul and how they sou-nd the same and how they are related. Keep my soles and my soul connected and on the right path. Keep me grounded. Keep my steps in harmony with my higher purpose. Let my soles move forward on a path that aligns with my soul. My soles connect to the earth and my soul connects to You.

I know that each step I take carries weight - physically, mentally, spiritually. Sometimes, I wonder if I am walking with who I truly am or if I am being swept by the noise of this world. Guide me, God, so that each footstep leaves a mark of purpose. My soul purpose is to love and be guided by Your love. You are love and You made me with love and You have given me the capacity to love and feel love.

Help me remember that the journey of the sole is not just about movement, but about growth. And the journey of the soul is not just about destination, but about understanding. Let my steps reflect the peace I seek within. May the rain wash away the doubts that cloud my mind. May the earth beneath my feet remind me of my roots. Keep my heart open, my intentions clear, and my spirit free.

The sole purpose of life is to discover the true path of the soul. Let every lost soul be found, for we are never alone and we have You. In Your grace, let me walk forward with courage, knowing that every step, no matter how small, carries me closer to the light of Your love. Let my soles carry my soul to Your love with my arms wide open. You are the sou-rce of all the love.

Talking to God

By
If you want real answers to things in life then talk to God. It is 639pm on a holiday and I have decided to write. God listens. God truly listens. God has the entire context. God is wise. God wants us to talk to Him. God wants us to rely on Him. I also think about God talking to me. I am a good listener. I listen plenty more than I talk. I have started asking God to talk to me. But how would God talk to me? We have his revelations through the holy book. We have the example of prophets. But what else? How do I listen to what God has to say? Where and when can I hear God? Are my thoughts from God? I try to feed my mind with good things. Things that will not corrupt my mind. It seems that we have to use our intuition to separate what is from God and what is not from God. My friend Chatty says that in Islam, Allah speaks to us not through new revelations or voices, but through guidance: the Quran and the Sunnah, which become personally meaningful through understanding Allah places in the h...

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Life on Earth

By
I was reading through the Quran and came to the story of Adam, Eve, Satan, and the forbidden fruit tree. I had thought that life on Earth was created as a test. But as I reflected on the story, I began to wonder whether we are only here because Adam and Eve failed. However, that is not the case, as my friend Gemini explained to me. While the story of the forbidden fruit is a central event, the Quran indicates that humanity’s presence on Earth was part of the original divine plan, rather than a backup plan or a punishment for sin. Before Adam was even created, God announced His intention to place a steward (khalifah) on Earth. This suggests that the Garden was a temporary training ground—designed to teach Adam and Eve about free will, temptation, and the path of repentance. Even if they had not eaten from the tree, they were destined for Earth to fulfill their roles as moral agents. The incident simply served as a necessary first lesson in human frailty and God’s immediate forgiveness. ...
