There is No God but Allah

I was hesitant to write about my personal experience of this spiritual Path because I know it is very insignificant compared with other people’s experiences. Nevertheless I eventually decided to write it down in the hope that it may be useful to someone.

My Daily Experiences Convey Messages from God

There is no doubt that the Path has had clear effects on my whole life in which my " ego" used to play the major role in my misery. This "ego" brought me down to the lowest level and I found nobody to guide me upwards. Before I enjoyed this spiritual Path that uplifts the soul to the highest degree I was confused, and felt as if I were in a small four walled room that had no door and I kept tossing from one wall to another until I became a mere ruin. My "ego" has dominated my relationships with my husband and my children. For example, in the past if my husband got angry with me, I would fight with him just as if I were in an unending war and I had to win. I was also ungrateful to God because He had given me a handsome but mischievous son.

Meeting My Spiritual Teacher .. Is It By Chance Or An Act Of Providence?

Was it a mere chance, or the work of Providence that has led me to joining this spir itual path ?. I shall tell you first my past experience.
A year before, I was constant in attending, somewhere else, religious lectures on the interpretation of the Holy Koran. My reaction towards these lessons was so violent that I almost developed a new personality based on extreme fanaticism and bigotry. I became very harsh with myself if I allowed anything to take me away from listening to these religious lessons. I also tried to impose this spirit on every member of my family. I would be very upset if my husband listened to a song or even if he and my children would watch some plays or soap operas. I considered that a waste of time.

Spiritual Transformation Relieved My of Depression

Before taking my first step towards the path my life was reduced to mere struggle, whether at the personal level or with those around me. I always experienced a state of psychological discomfort, as well as extended periods of depression. I was actually looking for an ideal psychologist, one who would be willing to monitor me day & night, knowing how I felt without my having to utter one word!!!! Where on earth could I locate such a wonderful therapist?!!! I have always felt-even though I am a mother-like a little girl who yearned for her mother’s warm hugs. Only recently, I have come to realize that such yearning was not for my mother’s arms, in fact it was a yearning for God’s eternal embrace. I also recently learned the reason for my feelings of depression and restlessness, as well as why I was struggling internally and with all those around me.

Is "He" Another God?

It was not just an experience. It was a turning point in my whole life; a step afar from spiritual “death” towards “life”. What amazes me now is that I have just discovered that past days before I joined the path Tareek were not in vain; my reluctance to conform to what I was not convinced with had been creating, deep inside, a power that was pushing me forcibly towards something that I did not know then. I realized later that everything was actually taking me towards the truthful Direction.
