Please Pray for Self and for Others. God is Recognized by Answering Prayers.
Peace be on you….When a religious community stands by Divine directive for peaceful spiritual reforms against the current evils and moral weakness, it always meet stiff resistance by people of status quo who are the pillars of existing corruption at all level. They foresee closure of their business which they run in the guise of name of God. Mayhem, killing, brutality mob-ism are some of the integral elements of their approaches. They chant name of God and Messengers and Holy Books very loud, but they have least concern whether people pay rights of worship of God and exercise peaceful living with His creation.
Muslims countries are facing many problems these days. They are having collapses, they face brutality, they commit brutality internally and externally. Ahmadiyya Muslim community is being persecuted in some countries as they try to bring sword-less spiritual reforms which were foretold in Islam. Few days before Eid, eight of their houses were burnt and looted by mob lead by fanatic clergy in a Muslim country. Authorities just watched. Three females and a baby lost lives due to suffocation of fire.
The true religious community is comforted by Allah in Holy Quran:
“Or, Who answers the distressed person when he call upon Him, and removes evil, and makes you successors in the earth? Is there a God besides Allah? Very little is that what you reflect.” (ch 27, v63)
This is the recipe of progress and safety for those who are persecuted for the sake of divine truth.
Such focused prayers are needed which are done by a person who see trouble everywhere but he or she sees one ray of light in a certain direction and they goes towards that. This ray is trust on Allah the Exalted.
“During the trials, the wonderful and unknown properties and effects of prayers become evident and the truth is that our God is recognized through prayers………God the Exalted is the Most Self-Sufficient. If prayer is not done in abundance and repeatedly with anxiousness, He does not care. Look, if one’s wife or child is sick or one faces a hard lawsuit, how much anxious he becomes for these matters. Thus unless true eagerness and state of anxiousness is created in prayer, it is ineffective and useless thing. For acceptance, anxiousness is the requirement.”
Faithful are needed to pray for self and for the whole community with focus and heartfelt for victory in purpose.
Acceptance of prayers is a great proof of existence of our God.
