Leaving Evilness & Migrating to Sainthood (Contemplate)

The fifth level is to think.{ Taffakur} 

• He sends the holy Qur’an in order to give thought.
• He did not send the holy Qur’an to play or to read like a storyteller with out thinking.
• He wants us to think on every word we are reading.
• And whoever gives it a thought, he will understand in the 5th level, as the Prophet (s) said, tafakkaru sa`atin khayrun min `ibaadati saba`een  sannah. To give one hours thought is more rewarded than 70 years of worship.

And when you think then of course you are going to being everything you need of provision for akhira (eternal life). Allah gave you provision of dunya (world) and then said my order and forbiddens are provision for your soul   In the holy Qur’an is stated everything. If you don’t think then you are a loser.  

• Alladheena yadhkuroona Allah qiyaaman,

In every moment allah is asking us to remember him, not only remembrance here, but yadhkuroona means to bring the name of Allah on your mouth, to make it wet with dhikr. And they think, standing, sitting and laying down, that is one sentence by itself and added on to it wa yatafakaroon.

• They have to think on the creation of heavens and earth.
• Why do they have to think of creation of heavens and earth?
• Why Allah wants them to think of creation of heavens and earth.
• To see His greatness.
• To know there is a god, as Sayyidina Ibrahim, he looked and said this is my lord.
• Then the star was gone. Then he saw the moon. He was going to worship, then oh it is gone.
• Then oh the sun but then oh it is gone. Allah wants us to think in order that you can believe.

He doesn’t want you to believe because you got that from your parent. He wants you to have qana` to believe because you are thinking, yes there is that reality there.
