'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu'.
Transliteration :
Wa-itha saalaka AAibade AAannee fa-innee qareebun ojeebu
daAAwata addaAAiitha daAAani falyastajeeboo lee walyu/minoo beelaAAallahum yarshudoon .
Translation: "And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - Indeed I am near,
I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me
that they may be [rightly] guided. "
{ Source~ Qur`an ~Surat Al Baqarah [The Cow]- 2 ~ A # 186 }
A Wondrous Reality !
What a wonderful thing it is to know Him {ALLAH}...! But,how can one know the Profit that shall be gained in dealing with HIM...
but still prefer others...? How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying HIM... ???but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying HIM...?
How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech ??? but fail to open your heart with HIS remembrance ?
how can one be tortured by being attached to others...? but not rush toward the Bliss of turning to HIM in Repentance?
Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of HIM...! you are still reluctant to move toward HIM because you seek others...{?}
~My "Salaams" to all ~
