God is, and as soul you are, anything else you add reflects your state of consciousness.

'Listen, O those who can, to what God desires from you. And what He desires is only that you become solely His and do not associate any partners with Him, neither in the heavens nor on the earth. Our God is that God who is alive even now as He was alive before. He speaks even now as He used to speak before. And even now He hears as He used to hear earlier. It is a false notion that in these times He does hear but does not speak. But He hears and speaks, too. All His Attributes are eternal and everlasting. None of His Attributes is in abeyance, nor will it ever be. He is the One without any associate Who has no son, nor has He any wife. He alone is the peerless Who has no one like Him. And He is the One Who is unique in that none of His Attributes are exclusively possessed by anyone besides Him. He is the One Who has no equal. He is the One Who has no one to share with Him His Attributes. And He is the One no Power of Whose is less than perfect. He is near, though He is far and He is far, though He is near.

He can reveal Himself to Ahl-e-Kashf in personification, but He has no body, nor any shape. He is above all, but it cannot be said that there is anything beneath Him. He is on 'Arsh, but it can't be said that He is not on the earth. He is the sum total of all Perfect Attributes and He is the Manifestation of every True Praise. He is the source of all that is Good and encompasses all Powers and He is the source of all Beneficences. He is the One to Whom everything returns. He is the Lord of all realms. He possesses every Perfection and is free from all defects, imperfections and weakness. It is His sole prerogative that all those who belong to the earth as well as all those who belong to the heavens should worship Him.

As far as He is concerned nothing is impossible for Him. All souls and their potentialities, and all particles and their potentials are His and only His creation. Nothing comes into existence without His agency. As for Him He reveals Himself through His Powers, His Omnipotence and His Signs. We can attain Him only through Him. He always reveals His Person to the righteous and shows them His Omnipotence—and this is the only means by which He is recognized and by which that way is recognized which is favoured by Him. He sees without physical eyes and hears without physical ears and speaks without a physical tongue. Likewise it is His work to bring a thing into existence from nothingness.

For example, in the visions of dream you see how He creates a world without matter and shows you every mortal and nonexistent being as having existence. Thus are all His Powers. Ignorant is he who denies His Powers. Blind is he who has no knowledge of His profound and inconceivable Powers. He can, and does, everything that He intends to, except those things which violate His Majesty or which are in conflict with His Promises and Verdicts. He is unique in His Being, in His Attributes, in His Actions and in His Powers.

All doors to reach Him are closed except the one door which the Noble Qur'an has opened. And all Prophethoods and all Books of the past are such as now there is no need left to follow them independently. Because the Prophethood of Muhammad (sa) comprises them all and encompasses them all. And except it [the Prophethood of Muhammad (as) ] all routes to God are closed. Each and every truth which leads to God is in it alone. Neither any truth will come after this, nor there was a truth which is not present in it. And for this reason all Prophethoods have ended with this Prophethood. And so it should have been: for a thing which has a beginning must also have an end. But this Prophethood of Muhammad (sa) in its intrinsic beneficence is not deficient. Rather its beneficence far surpasses the beneficence of other prophethoods. Following the Prophethood of Muhammad (sa) is the easiest route through which one can reach God. Obedience to it wins greater gifts of Divine love and Divine communion than ever before.''

“I feel like I’m being punished,”
says a woman in her mid-50’s
after learning that she has
cancer. Reflecting on a wrong
she committed years earlier,
she concludes, “This must be
God’s way of telling me I
sinned.”
WHEN faced with adversity, many
people feel that God is punishing
them for some past wrong.
Overwhelmed by a sudden
avalanche of problems, they may
be heard to lament: “Why me?
What have I done to deserve
this ?” Should we conclude that
our problems are an indication
of divine disapproval? Are
personal adversities really a
punishment from God?
Faithful Worshippers
Experienced
Adversity
Consider what the Bible reports
about a man named Job. Without
warning, he suddenly lost his
wealth. Next, all ten of his
children were killed in a
windstorm. Soon thereafter, he
was struck with a debilitating,
loathsome disease. ( Job 1:13-19;
2:7, cool Such adversities led Job to
cry out: “The hand of God has
struck me down.” (Job 19:21,
Today’s English Version)
Evidently, like many today, Job felt
that God was punishing him.
However, the Bible reveals that
before Job ’s trials began, God
himself had described Job as “a
man blameless and upright,
fearing God and turning aside
from bad. ” (Job 1:cool In view of
this expression of divine
approval, it is clear that Job’s
adversities were not a
punishment from God.
The fact is, the Bible is filled with
accounts of upright individuals
who faced personal adversities.
Although he was a loyal servant
of God, Joseph endured years of
unjust imprisonment. ( Genesis
39:10-20; 40:15) The faithful
Christian Timothy suffered from
“ frequent cases of
sickness.” (1 Timothy 5:23) Even
Jesus Christ, who never did
wrong, was cruelly mistreated
before suffering an agonizing
death. ( 1 Peter 2:21-24) Hence, it
is a mistake to conclude that
adversity must be an expression
of God ’s displeasure. But if God is
not responsible for adversity,
who, if anyone, is?
The Causes of Our
Problems
The Bible shows that Satan the
Devil was the cause of Job ’s
tragedies. (Job 1:7-12; 2:3-cool
Furthermore, it identifies Satan
as the chief source of our
problems today when it states:
“ Woe for the earth and for the
sea, because the Devil has come
down to you, having great anger,
knowing he has a short period
of time. ” (Revelation 12:12) As
“the ruler of this world,” Satan
has influenced many to engage
in evil acts that have resulted in
untold misery and heartache. —
John 12:31; Psalm 37:12, 14.*
We should not, however, be
quick to blame the Devil for every
adversity we experience. As a
result of inherited sin and
imperfection, we are prone to
make unwise decisions that can
cause us problems. (Psalm 51:5;
Romans 5:12) For example,
imagine a man who by choice
neither eats properly nor gets
sufficient rest. If this eventually
leads to serious health problems,
should he blame the Devil? No,
the man has merely reaped the
bitter consequences of his own
poor judgment. ( Galatians 6:7) In
such an instance, it is just as a
Bible proverb puts it: “A man’s
own folly wrecks his life.”—
Proverbs 19:3, The New English
Bible .
Finally, it must be realized that
many unpleasant experiences are
simply the result of “time and
unforeseen
occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
Consider the person who is
unexpectedly caught in a
rainstorm. Whether he will get a
little wet or completely drenched
may just depend on where he
happens to be standing when
the rain begins to fall. Similarly, in
these “critical times hard to deal
with,” negative conditions can
quickly turn into a downpour of
adversity. ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5) To
what extent we are personally
affected is often a matter of
timing and circumstances, over
which we may have little or no
control. Does this mean, then,
that we will always be plagued
with adversity?
All Adversity Soon to
End
Happily, Jehovah God will bring
an end to all adversity very soon.
( Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 1:3;
21:3, 4) In the meantime, he
shows that he really cares for us
by providing “instruction” and
“comfort from the Scriptures” so
that we can cope with trials now
as we look forward to that
wonderful future just ahead.
( Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 5:7) At
that time, those who are upright
in God ’s eyes will enjoy unending
life in a new world, free from
every form of adversity. —Psalm
37:29, 37.

Viewpoint: Who Is Satan? Is He
