Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi

Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.

Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.

Why do we follow Allah's orders? Why do we pray, pay zakaat, fast and so on?

Yes its an order but why do we have to do it? Its not as simple as it seems. Because we need to know ourself and realise who we are first before we truly appreciate the reason behind this.

Imagine we are in army now. The commander wants us to do pumping and so on. Why do we follow? Its because he is the commander and we are his followers or trainees. Our moves are subjected to his commands. That is why he punish us when we do not carry out what he wants us to do. To make us realise that we are in his command and we must obey him.


Same story between us and Allah. We are His servants. Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billah. We have no power at all (even to move a finger), because all power comes from the Most Powerful, Allah. Until we truly realise that we are His servants, we can never appreciate our status and never enjoy our worship to Him. We do what He wants us to do, and we do not go near to what He forbids us to.

But in this case, Allah doesnt punish us by making us do push-ups or run around many times. Because He is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim. Most Gracious and Most Merciful. Whenever we do something wrong, He forgives us because His Love for us is 70 times more of a true motherly love. That is another reason why you see the non-believers still breathing on earth. If Allah wills, He could have wiped them off from Earth because they do not worship Him, the Almighty. But Allah is truly the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Those two Names are the Greatest Names of Allah.

That is why we start everything with the Bismillah (in the name of Allah) and that two Names, Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim. Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi

If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.
