Unite in the Light
A Transmission of Guidance for Seekers on the Spiritual Journey
In the Name of Allah,
the Merciful, the Compassionate
All Praise be to Allah
Lord of all the Worlds
The Merciful, the Compassionate,
Master of the Day of Judgment
You, Alone, do we worship
And You, Alone, do we seek for Help
Lead us on the Straight Path
The Path of those upon whom
Your Grace has fallen,
Not (the path) of those upon whom
Your displeasure has fallen
Or those who have gone astray. Amen
- Surat’ul Fatihah, The Holy Qur'an 1:1-7
Allah! There is no god but He!
The Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal.
No slumber can seize Him nor sleep.
His are all things in the heavens and on earth.
Who is there can intercede In His presence except as He permits? He knows what appears to His creatures before and behind them. Nor shall they comprehend anything of His knowledge except as He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them, for He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory).
—Ayat’ul Kursi, The Holy Quran 3:18
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His Light is comparable to a niche, wherein is a wick, the wick is in a crystal, the crystal is brilliant like a star. It (the wick) is kindled from a blessed tree, an olive tree, which is neither of the east nor of the west, and whose oil would almost glow forth of itself, though fire touches it not, light upon light.
—The Holy Qur’an 24:35
Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between, and unto Him is the journeying.
—The Holy Qur’an 5:18
Behold the signs of Allah in the horizons and yourself
