This is the first guest blog by Engineer Abdalla Mohamed Ali, my wonderful son, and I hope it won't be the last. I actually sort of "stole" it from a Facebook post of his. Welcome aboard Bodz.
Prayer
It
is a time when you do not have to think about anything, you don't have
to plan, stress, worry, regret, or sorrow. You are standing in front of
the one and only creator and controller. It is a period of time when you
can fantasy or ask for all you desire, or be grateful for all what you
have. It is when you can simply step out of all physical or mental
status, to reach a state of inner peace that reminds you that you can
only control what you can, and the rest is
already determined to be the best that could ever happen to you;
because it is written by the One who gave you life. This is the One who
gave you the five senses you use to roam a vast and endless,
sustainable, artistic, balanced, diverse, and perfectly constructed
universe that you had no hand whatsoever in creating! The One who gave
you a great tool, your mind, a tool that enables you to be master of
this universe, to survive with your fragile body the challenges of daily
life varying from a simple one- celled virus capable of destroying you,
to a great grizzly bear able to tear you apart with one strike of it's
claws. The One who enabled you to handle all sorts of weather from a
vast hot isolated desert, to the subzero temperatures of the north and
south. He created you to conquer his universe and be superior to any
other living being. Believing in a creator gives you the privilege of
praying, rather than meditating. There's a thin line between both
behaviors; when you meditate, you clear your head of all unnecessary
thoughts, you really relax and enjoy the peace, surrender, and
relaxation. In prayer you get the added value of relief; as you realize
that you are in the driver's seat of your life, controlling your every
move, but you also realize that the seat belt you have on, the life you
are driving, and the route you are taking, are all designed by the only
perfect engineer out there, the same engineer who provided us with this
perfect endless universe to conquer.
