Nature's order and the human order

Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem . In the name of God, the most gracious and most merciful And we have created you in pairs. Quraan 78:8 The prophet Muhammed (SAW) used to spend time in a cave which was known as Mount Hira located in Mecca. This is also the place where our Nabi Muhammed (SAW) received the first revelation from Allah SWT through the angel Jibrael (Gabriel). Muhammed (SAW) wanted to know who the real God was so an increasing need for solitude led Muhammed (SAW) to seek seclusion and meditation.

That light is not just in some of us, Its in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same as we are liberated by our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others  Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” “ Fear  defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.” “ Fear  is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.” “Do the thing you  fear  to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer  fear . Our fear should be conquered not because of egotistica...
