View from a plane ….



I got this email today that is talking about the signs of weak "Iman" some of them made sense. but one of them caught my attention, it says (Having mood swings, for instance being upset about petty things and bothered and irritated most of the time. ) well it caught my attention, because its one of the things I have my own philosophical hypothesis. I always say your Iman is like a plane you are in. when its high you can see the high buildings but they don't effect you or stand in your path, if your Iman goes down a little bit maybe the very high sky scrapers will effect you. But as it goes lower and lower houses start to matter, people start to stand in your way, till you may reach to the point that you can trip over a pebble.

When your Iman is high, no problem stands in your way or effect your mood, but as you go lower and lower, even the slightest inconvenience will shake you or change your mood to the worse. For me this is particularly true. I remember at times facing huge problems with a smile, and at times not finding a parking space is very big issue.

Things and situations may change, but if you have great Iman inside you, you will not change and you can face what ever problems you have, with a clear mind and calm heart.


All for now …

What you said Tamara is very much true
as Iman yazeed wayanqus. Wa benaqsihe tarkani ela al2ardh, wabeziyadatihi tu7aliqi fi asama2. wahoa kama aqoul, when faith decreases you come nearer to your animalistic element, and when it increases you soar high with angels
getting nearer to your angelic element. As i envision human having 3 elements in him , animal, jin, and Angeland your Iman level will determine which element overcome the rest.
Have a good day!

I agree the lower Iman is the more attached to the earth we get...but this needs work and does not come all that easy to have high Iman all the time ...May Allah help us all in that.
