Think about what He has granted you: you live in a world subtly-planned down to its slightest detail and created specially for you. You had no part in this process. You opened your eyes one day and found yourself amidst countless blessings. You can see, you can hear, you can feel… And it is so because He willed such a creation. In a verse it is said: It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers when you knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections: that you may give thanks (to Allah). (Surat an-Nahl, 78) As stated in the verse, it is none but Allah Who has given you everything you own and Who created the universe you live in. Therefore, come and submit your whole self to Allah and be grateful to Him for all the blessings He has endowed you with and thereby earn an eternal reward. If you do the opposite, you will be showing ingratitude and exposing yourself to a penalty that, by the will of Allah, shall last forever. Be assured: He does exist and He is very close to you… He sees and knows everything that you do, and hears every word you utter… And be assured that everyone, including you, will soon give account to Him… Glory to You, of knowledge we have none, save what You have taught us: In truth it is You Who are Perfect in knowledge and wisdom.
