God? Peace of Mind....
Few days ago, Christian brothers 'n' sisters Celebrated " Christmas ", then Jewish brothers 'n' sisters had " Hanukkah ", now Muslim brothers 'n' sisters 're Celebratin' " Eid ". These all Celebrations got History behind the Joy. Last night I was checkin' different News Channels 'n' on one of them they were showin' a Documentry about "Hajj", where right now (more than 2.6 Million) Muslims from all over the world 're offerin' their Prayers. CNN 's news reporter John D. said somethin' that has Stuck in my Mind. His words were like this "Like many other Believers of different Faiths, these Believers 're here for "Peace of Mind".
This reminded me of my Past of few years ago, when I was in Search of God, in Search of "Peace of Mind". That time like most of Teen-agers I was Spiritual, not Religious.
I read few books of different Faiths. I checked Computers 'n' Libraries. I got nothin' Important but it gave me few Points to search more. I started visitin' Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Shouls Temples 'n' whatever I could. I started gettin' help from Talmood, Bible, Koran 'n' mokid. I met many Priests, Pastors, Molanas, Ministers 'n' many others. This thing put a Weird kind of Fear in my Parents' hearts. I cleared all of their doubts 'n' I took One year off, of studies to find what I was lookin' for.
I visited Jerusalem, Rome, Mecca, Madina, Japan, Thiland, Morroco 'n' few other places. It made me go Deep more 'n' more. I visited all important Churches, Mosques, Shouls 'n' Temples, Shrines 'n' Leks. EVERYWHERE I FOUND GOD but still I was not satisfied, Somethin' was missin' 'n' I kept searchin'. Till one day when I was walkin' with many of others to Ground of Arafa. Everyone around me was Prayin' to God 'n' busy in Talmeeh.
That was the Moment, I looked down on dirt, looked up to the Beautiful Sky 'n' then I closed my Eyes with a long sigh......... with that sigh, word came out of my mouth " Gooooooooooood ". Then I felt somethin' that I can't Explain. I tried many times till now but I think I 'll never be able to Explain that Feelin'. I just know that at that Point I found the Truth. The Truth that GOD IS EVERYWHERE,the Truth that God is in my Heart, in my Breaths, Closer to me more than my Soul.
Now, whenever people talk about different Faiths, Religions 'n' God, I say only one thing to them " Look inside you, Look who is closer to you more than your own Soul, It's God " It's same God who gives us Life, Sense, Joy, Sadness 'n' at end Death. It's same God who wants us to stay away from Voilance, Sex, Drugs 'n' Hate. It's same God who wants us to Love each other, stay in Peace, work Hard 'n' Enjoy His blessings. It's same God we 'll 've to Return to, after this Life.
God bless all......

oh god, you know what khurram, you are saint, you are a saint, you are a saint,
stacy.
Yep, takes some people a life time to realize this and some never do. All gods are one and it is the spirit within us.
Nice post there, boxer. The truth is God is everywhere. I'm glad that you've stumbled upon this in your spiritual journey.
Mr. Khurram, you have a very unique and down-to-earth way of saying things, I really like it.
it seems like you've been many places and have realized some important things. i hope to do the same in the future.
Salam,
Such a wonderful,impressive n nicely described post. U know u r one of the luckiest person n a very special human being of God that He make u feel n think all this. Yeah true God is everywhere, we dnt need to search Him as He is inside us, everywhere, in everything its just to have faith in.
One more thing that i must say here is that most of us adopt religion just coz our families n elders r following it, we dnt look into the depth, basics,n logics. Many of us are following and doing things according to our faiths n religious teachings but unfortunately dnt know that wat r the logics behind,benefits of it, like the way we offer namaz many of us are unaware of the fact that its an excercise n beneficial for our health especially for heart patients. Similarly there r many things that r been misunderstood n misused like permission of 4 marriages for males, they just go for it without knowing the conditions, responsibilities. Anyhow i think i m talking alot now but its really great that u search, get knowledge first about every religion n then had faith.
May all can do so n can b lucky as u r :) :)
God bless all,
samrina
God. It is so simple, isn't it?
JOY to you Champ.

God Bless You.
Very in-depth post. I think we all go through times of searching and doubt and questioning...I'm glad you found what was true for you. Peace of mind and soul is wonderful.
thst some extensive research..do share some of the knowledge that you did gain from your experiences....
and yes....the moment that we realize ...that we r muslims..and that our religion is that of Islam...that feeling is out of this world....
I thank my Lord everyday for making me one of the forunate ones....one of those who call themselves Muslims...
Eid Mubarak....

nice post. i'm wondering why you don't write out the full spelling of words though... maybe it's the journalist in me, but it puzzles me to read 'n' than "and"... and the most interesting is " 've" instead of "have" or " 're" instead of "are"! I've never seen those before!
Hey champ...eid mubarak....you know what...when i was reading ur post everything was fine until i came to this part "I closed my Eyes with a long sigh......... with that sigh, word came out of my mouth " Gooooooooooood"---> when I read this...i literally bursted out laughing...i mean not cuz you said something funny or anything...but it seemed like u groaned here or something ...or u were in pain...that u said God like "Goooooooood"....anyways was funny...or maybe i am just drunk...anyways u can definitely write a book on this..and u never know..they might even turn it into a movie...anyways champ see you around.
i dont want to seem dense but so what religion in conclusion are u following. yes it is good to know about all religions and follow allah subhanatalas commands after we have understood them but you need to have one faith you follow. yes allah subhanatal is in our hearts but then there are certain preachings which we need to look upon along side knowing that allah is in our heart. and that is what makes us find ourselves.
Eid Mubarak btw! :)
if only all religions accept other`s believes without demeaning them, then the world will be a better place.
Jessica _ I 've learnt alot from you also, If not about God but sure about life.
Hadeel _ Thankyou, It's just my way to write 'n' type. Many English 'n' American writers 've adopted it after 1700 A.D. I'm not just copyin' this but I Love that time's accent also.
No One _ I don't know if I was in Pain or Joy, Like I said I just can't explain those Feelings.
Motullus _ You 're not gonna call me "Kafir", Are you? I believe in God. I believe in Good 'n' Evil, I believe in After-life, I believe in Heaven 'n' Hell. Now you can get what Religion I follow. Infact all Religions believe in these Realities.
Aisha _ Thankyou dear, Happy Eid.
Still Figurin' Out _ I agree, the thing we need is to Respect each other.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU....
i am no body to call anyone kafir, allah subhanatala says that anyone who believes in me may be more pious than u , so no i am not gonna call u kafir though i dont know which religion to associate you with that becomes a lil weird . thats a first ive heard about believing but not following one particular religion but allah hu alam right, allah subhanatal knows the best
I'm not sure what to think of this post based on the comments I see... All Gods are one? Ummm My God is not the same God worshipped by Muslims or any other religion that is not Chrsitianity. Jesus Christ is my savior and only through his blood does God dwell inside us. Unless you have Jesus you do not have the true living God inside you... I'm a born again Christian and many things I've read here today contradict the word of God I read in my Bible. I'm not trying to rain on your parade but I believe the Bible is truth and I would be lying if I said I agreed with your point of view.
You've hit the nail on the head. God is every where, and all around us. I think people don't realize they need not look further than their mirror and within their heart to find God.
