Worthy of Worship (WOW)

Cont'd from page 3

[27:64] Who is the One who initiates the creation, then repeats it? Who is the One who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Is it another god with GOD? Say, "Show me your proof, if you are truthful."

[30:40] GOD is the One who created you. He is the One who provides for you. He is the One who puts you to death. He is the One who resurrects you. Can any of your idols do any of these things? Be He glorified. He is much too exalted to have any partners.

[31:29] Do you not realize that GOD merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and that He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, each running in its orbit for a specific life span, and that GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do?

[35:15] O people, you are the ones who need GOD, while GOD is in no need for anyone, the Most Praiseworthy.

Every time we say “Wow” about anything we see or hear, we can think, “Yes, God alone is WOW, Worthy of Worship.” A beautiful sunset is Wow. A newborn baby is Wow. A snowcapped mountain is Wow. And all these things are gifts from God, so God is truly WOW!
May we always remember that God ALONE is Worthy of Worship. WOW!

Paradise

In heaven, there will be no nonsense uttered, no bickering, only peace. The greeting we are commanded to give in this life is “Peace.” That’s how we should live this life.  Offering peace freely to others and accepting it from whomever offers it. 

God not only knows our past, present and future, but to Him all of it belongs.  The believing, the repenting and the reforming:  God forgives our sins of the past, the present, the future. He is the Most High, none equals Him. 

The human being is forgetful, but God does not forget. 

God created us out of nothing. All creation—the seen and the unseen—is amazing. 

All will be gathered on the Day of Judgment. Everything in this life—the believing in God, the believing in the Hereafter, the absolute devotion, steadfastly persevering in worshipping God alone, the repenting, the reforming, working righteousness, or doing none of these—will determine the weight of your soul, heavy or light, able to stand in the presence of God or not. On that Day, it will be the humiliation of the transgressors who deserve the burning or the rescuing of the righteous.

 

[39:73] Those who reverenced their Lord will be led to Paradise in throngs. When they get to it, and its gates are opened, its guards will say, “Peace be upon you; you have won. Therefore, you abide herein forever.”

[39:74] They will say, “Praise be to GOD, who fulfilled His promise to us, and made us inherit the earth, enjoying Paradise as we please.” What a beautiful recompense for the workers!

[39:75] You will see the angels floating around the throne, glorifying and praising their Lord. After the equitable judgment is issued to all, it will be proclaimed: “Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.”

Praise be to God, Lord of the universe!
