Everywhere You Turn Is The Face Of God
"So wherever you might turn, there is the face of Allah"
Al-Qur'an 2:115
In every moment, Allah is communicating with you, He is presenting you text for you to understand so that you can move forward.
It's as if Allah sends you an instruction set up as a puzzle. The puzzle appears as a recurring situation or an ongoing situation or a new situation, which causes distress.
As long as you are entangled and mired in the situation, you don't see the puzzle. You need to distance yourself, detach yourself a little before you can see it.
As soon as you pull back a little and decide to reflect, to witness the situation - not so much as something that's happening TO you, but more as something that is speaking/ reflecting back to you - you begin to see pieces of the puzzle.
You put two pieces together and a bit of the picture becomes clear. You find another piece that fits...and another.... and another ... until the picture is complete.
The instruction appears clearly and you realize it deeply within yourself.
Your seeing makes that specific issue disappear because it has taught you what you needed to learn.
The key is to find that space to pull back into where you are the seer, not the seen. To remind yourself that whatever is happening is text from Him, everywhere you turn is His face.
And to ask, what is He showing me now? What does He want me to do? What does He want me to learn?
and AllahuAlim
