Amanat-e Khuda....a perspective to live a peaceful life


In a recent majlis ayt. aqeel ul gharvi told a very simple and beautiful way through which we all could lead peacful and conflict free lives and i thought it was worth sharing...:)

One of the most effective ways to make tauheed a part of your life is to consider everything a safekeeping or amant of Allah(swt). For example:

1. Parents should think that their children are amant of Allah(swt) so while taking care of them they should not think that later on in life i would be getting something from him/her. They should think that the money given to them is also an amant of Allah(swt) so they should spend one amanat on taking care of another amanat. This way when they would even be kissing the face of their child, they would be doing 'ibadat'.

2. Husband and wife should also think the same; wife should take husband as 'abd-e Khuda' and husband wife as 'kaneez-e khuda'. So when both interact with each other they should think that Allah(swt) gave them each other as amanat and so the other should be treated as such. If the duties assigned are not fulfilled properly, they would be doing na shukri with the amnat of Allah(swt). In such a manner all acts would also become ibadat.

 These are just two examples but this concept could be applied to all the areas of life and to all the people one comes in contact with. So next time you hurt someone or fight with someone....think what you are really doing? And if you are taking proper care of the amanats giving to to you by Allah(swt).
