Allah is Near


 اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُم (As-salāmu ʿalaykum“May Allah's peace be upon you).

   بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm

(In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,Most Merciful)


"Allah says, 'I am as my servant expects Me to be, and I am with him when he remembers me. If he thinks of Me, I think of him. If he mentions Me in company, I mention him in an even better company. When he comes closer to Me by a handspan, I come closer to him an arm's length. If he draws closer to Me by an arm's length, I draw closer by a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him. If my servant comes to Me walking, I go to him running." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Before our Action, we must double-check our Intention because Intention makes Difference. Sincerity to God Faith and Trust in Allah, Sincerity Streaming out of these words is a sense of the love Allah has for His servants and the special relationship they can have with Him. 


How inspiring it is that we can remember Allah at any moment and immediately have a connection with the Heavens, because He will remember us in that same instant. If we mention His name in front of people, He will mention us by name in the company of the angels. "I am as my servant expects Me to be…." the hadith says.

If we put our hope in the mercy and forgiveness of Allah, believing that He will treat us well and cover up our sins, He will meet and exceed our expectations. It is important not to allow our fear of Allah to overwhelm our hope, because He will be as we expect Him to be. 

While we strive to please Him and avoid what angers Him, while we fear His punishment and as we hope for His reward, we should take comfort in His beautiful names and characteristics and rejoice in His mercy. 

Some of us can only use their lips to mention the name of Allah. Some of us want to find a straight path towards the love of Allah but are only able to take small steps on that path. Others are able to take large bounds, walking and even running on the path to Allah. Allah will extend a hand to each and everyone of us at our own level. No matter what our current level or ability, we just need to take the first step,In sha Allah.
