The omnipresence of God and
nearness of God to man is one of the

Several verses speak of how much
God is loving and affectionate towards
humanity and several other verses
expect the same from human beings.
So, when you are free, strive hard, and
to your Lord turn your attention.
[Quran, 94:7,8].

Nearness through utter dedication

Turning towards Lord can be to ask
His Help or to worship Him. Either way
we get near to Him. Earnest servants
voluntarily worship Him a lot. Prophet
Ibrahim (saws) was born in a
polytheistic society, but he was on a
true quest for God. He took the
spiritual journey and became a
guiding light for others.
He said, I will go to my Lord; He is
sure to guide me. [Quran, 37:99]

Nearness through ideals and desires

We all have desires that we bring to
God. Whether our prayers get fulfilled
is secondary; earnestly praying to Him
from the depths of our hearts is itself
a huge blessing. Pursuing something
with the help of God adds value to our
lives.

Nearness through trials

Sometimes He puts His servants
through trials that certainly turn their
attention to Him. Some commentators
on the Holy Quran opine that the whole
purpose of suffering is to bring His
servants nearer to Him.
You, who believe, seek help through
patience and prayer; surely, God is
with the steadfast. [Quran, 2:153].
Troubles will pass by but the
nearness we attain will stay with us.
God is accessible to all His servants.
No one has to hesitate to turn to God.
When intentions are good, any person
can find God’s help and guidance.
The East and the West belong to God.
Whichever way you turn, there is the
Face of God. God is all pervading and
all knowing. [Quran, 2:115].
When human beings make a small
effort to seek God’s Help, God will go
a long way to help them.
Paradise as a place of truth

The qualities of Paradise are
described in various ways in the Holy
Quran. One particular description is
that it is a place in the nearness of
God.
The God-conscious will find
themselves in gardens and rivers, in
the seat of truth with an All-powerful
Sovereign. [Quran, 54:54, 55].
We get more and more real when we
approach Him. We see things clearly
when He is close to us.
This world is described as chattels of
deception in the Holy Quran.
Something looks certain, and a
moment later, it turns out to be
mirage. People become more and
more delusional when they choose a
path that is away from God. We should
not spend our life totally lost in this
world. Life should be taken as a
journey to get close to God.
