And the beginning is with the Name of Allah.
My husband has always wanted me to keep a blog, but I have not been inspired to make my personal life public on any level, but since I am a little bit lonely out here, and maybe slightly bored on one level or another, I will write a few things from time to time insha'Allah.
And so I have come to this point in my life, a point where I have truly traveled a bit on the path of Ihsan, having found a true Shaykh to help me. I have been Muslim for many years, but never have I believed as I believe now. Never have I known the reality of my situation as I know it now, and only desire to know it more.
I have had friends who read with skeptecism books like 'Inner Dimensions of Islamic Worship' by Al-Ghazali. They do not believe it would ever be possible for them to fast a day and think of nothing but Allah. I have always believed it is possible, but now I am CERTAIN it is possible, and MAYBE it will even be possible for me.
So that is what I share with you tonight. I share with you that I have certainty that the unseen is real, that what we see before us is truly the illusion so many have warned us that it is. The path is real, and Allah does answer the prayer of a believer who asks Him to show him that path.
And with that I leave you for the night, and pray that all who might read this are well, drawing in nearness to Allah, and that their own prayers will be answered.
