{Rewrite Article} - Do You See it In Yourself?

One of Allah's names is Al-Wadood, The Most Loving, and this is
appropriate because a Creator must have love in order to create works
of beauty and power. Allah created you out of love. He created you
with intent. Hecreated you to succeed, notto fail, and He gave you all
the tools that you need to thrive. Open your eyes and see what a
miracle you are,what a thing of beauty, what a gift to the world. I
see that in every person I know. If I met you, I'm sureI would see the
miracle and beauty in you too. Do you see it in yourself?

ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ The Way to Paradise is Very Hard

4.36 out of 5 Most Popular Paradise is very high, and ascending
tolofty places takes a great deal of effort. The way to Paradise is
filled with things that go against human wishes and inclinations. This
needs strong determination and willpower. In a hadith narrated by
Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah,the Messenger of Allah,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "Hell has been veiled with desires,
and Paradise has been veiled with hardships." The version recorded by
Muslim says"surrounded" instead of"veiled." [Jami al-Usul, 10/521, no.
8069] An-Nisa'i, Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud report from Abu Hurayrah that
the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam said: "When Allah
created Paradise, He told Jibril, 'Go and look at it.' So he went and
looked at it, then he came back and said: 'By Your Glory, no one will
hear of it but he will enter it." So He surrounded it with hardships
and siad, 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, thencame
back and said: 'By Your Glory, I fear that noone will enter it." [Jami
al-usul, 10/520, no. 8068. Tirmidhi said: It is a gharib sahih hasan
hadith] An-Nawawi commented onthe first hadith: "This is an example of
the beautiful, eloquent and concise speech of which the Prophet,
sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, was capable, in which he gives a
beautiful analogy. It means that nothing will help you to reach
Paradise except going through hardships, and nothing will lead you to
Hell but whims...

The Lowest Rank of Those in Paradise

.. hu `anhu, narrated that the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam
said: "I know the last person who will come out of Hell and the last
one to enter the Paradise. A man comes out crawling and Allah
(subhanahu wa ta`ala) says: Go, enter the Paradise. Then he approaches
it and it appears to him as if filled, then he returns back and says:
O Allah, I found it full. Then Allah says: Go, enter the Paradise. He
approaches it and it appears to him as if filled. He then returns back
and says: O Allah, I found it to be full. Allah says to him: Go, enter
Paradise, you have what is equal to the whole world and ten folds (or,
you have what is equalto ten times this world). Hethen says: "O Allah,
are youmocking me (or laughing at me) while You are the King?" Ibn
Mas`ood said: I saw the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam laugh
till his molar teeth were seen. Abdullah stated that the Prophet
sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam said: "That is thelowest rank of those in
the Paradise." [Al Bukhari and Muslim] In the Hadith narrated by Ibn
Mas`ood and the Hadith narrated byAbu Saeed al Khudri, is the story of
the man of the tree, who is in the lowest rank of Paradise. Allah
reminds him, beseech such and such. When he says all and has nothing
more to beg, Allah says: That is for you with ten folds more. Then he
enters his house where his two wives of black and white eyed Hoor
al`Ein came to him and say:We thank Allah who brought you alive to us
and brought us alive to you. Then he says: No person is given like
what I have been given." [Muslim] Al Mughira ibn Shu`ba narrated that
the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam,said: "Musa `alaihis salam
asked Allah: Who is of the lowest rank among those of Paradise....

I was in your facebook page and my first vision was this, I don´t
agree with this.
"Those who love to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet them, and those who
detest to meet Allah, Allah detests to meet them". Do you agree with
this?
Tell me something, knowing that God has created everything us
included, you as a father, do you think if you have two children that
you are going to treat them differently? do you think that if one of
your childrenis in the wrong way, you are going to despise him or her
or you are going to try hard to get him or her in the right way?
If we as human with all our defects, when we are parents we care and
love the way we do, then God Almighty, Merciful…….. Love us beyond our
human emotions, we are just human beings, and if any of us condemns a
brother or a sister we are telling who we are, these are human
attributes, God is far beyond our simple human understanding
andknowledge.
The word "detest" shows a side of a reality, I mean we are in a world
where we handle two sides, God is Oneness, Wholeness,…. includes in
Him both sides,how do you think He is going to show preferencesfor one
of His creatures and not for the others, He knows everything,…. He
cares of every single creature, ……I don´t know if you get my point
here,….
The Word is one of the most powerful tools we have and is good to
remember that behind a Word there is always a Thought.
Allah(swt) knows best.

*I was paraphrasing a hadith qudsi:
Abu Huraira narrates that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said that Allah says:
"If My servant loves to meet Me, I love to meet him; and if he
dislikes (abhors) to meet Me, I dislike (abhor) to meet him."
Aisha said: "Oh Allah's Messenger, as for death, we all hate it."
Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said:"It is not that, but that when a
believer (at the time of death) is given theglad tidings of the mercy
of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and
Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news
of the torment and hardship which he is going to face at the Hand of
Allah, he abhors to meet Allah and Allah also abhors meeting him."

Maria, I understand the point you are making. It's true that Allah
cares for every one of His creatures, and He wants the best for every
creature. But it's alsotrue that Allah is a just God. True justice
cannot exist without reward and punishment.
If someone comes to Allahon the Day of Judgment never having believed
in Him, having lived a corrupt life full of sins – maybe a murderer,
maybea child molester, maybe anoppressor, or whatever the case may be
– that person will not like to meet Allah. He will fear to meet Allah
because he knows he will be punished. Similarly, Allah will not like
to meet him, because He must punish him.
So, yes, of course Allah prefers some creatures over others. He
prefers those who believe in Him and obey Him, who do good in the
world, who show love and compassion to other creatures. This is
natural. And He loves to meet those people, as they will be happy to
meet Him.
