Allah almighty is always with the human being, people try to find Him in the skies. The heaven is beneath the feet of the mother, people try to find it in other pious deeds. Wisdom is in waking up early in the morning, people try to find it in books. Blessing is in courtesy, people try to find it in knowledge. Peace of heart is in zikr, people try to find it in worry. Health is in evolving through spirituality, people try to find it in medicines. Affluence is in austerity, people try to find it in the abundance of wealth. Blessing is in thanking Allah; people find it in yearning for more. The life of the heart is in the company and modesty; people try to find it in solitude. Abundance of sustenance is in generosity, people try to find it in hard work. Acceptance of prayers is in seeing the patient; people try to find it in long prayers. Knowledge of Allah is in knowing the nafs and the self; people try to find it in mazaat. Wilaayet is in silence, people try to find it in speech. Peace of heart is in zikr-e-ilaahi and worship; people try to find it in music.
