My baby brother of 16 y.o just died few weeks ago. He was such an ease to heart, always bring happiness to our family. He passed away after dropping his friend home after Isyak prayer, hit by another young adult who made wrong choices in his life. People found drug in his car. While the hitter stay alive, my brother is living his life now, raking reward from his best of deeds in this world, peacefully. My brother as the youngest child living with our parents, live his life watching how my father lose his business, and he took care of my dying father. his basic necessities and youth joy are compromised, yet he stay happy and doing good deeds to our parents, in replacement of me as the eldest and stay far away. Ya Allah how im grateful to my brother, i miss him so much and i can only pray that Allah will grant him highest jannah, and us to catch up to his level. 😭😭😭ameeen

He was an amazing soul who practiced Islam and was a good representative of our religion. Inn Shaa Allah he's in Jannah. May Allah bless your brother with jannatul ferdous.

My sister passed away two weeks before her 19th birthday. She was a healthy, happy and kind soul who bought so much joy in our lives. She wasn’t just my sibling, she was like my own child. Please pray that Allah grants her a home in Jannat Al-Firdaus.

I've been astray for a while now and perhaps this was one of the most life changing 14 minutes of my life. I knew I was indulged in dunya and there was something intuitively wrong about it but I forgot why it was wrong and it's because it's not even real to begin with. It's a bait and if you fall for it you don't get up until jahannam is in front of you. What good would that realization be anyway

[@alm5985]

The man is controller of his own body before that he was only a possibility. He could have existed in every kind of possibility (In infinite world, he could have either be in David's body, or other's body, but he is there) if the controller is depressed, then it should ask himself ("What's there before I came, and as this world came?") the subconscious is the one who sustains the body in every kind of way, and shows how the world like by its feeling state (and requires fats and B vitamins to work properly) and is the holder of the blitzing thoughts. And there is no body which isn't having any observer in it (Or example YOU) *The other people are different brains, and the spiritual books are only a reminder* Inviting to the Causer and Answerer Brain produces trillions of things in perfect order, perfectly knowing his body and having DNA that improves and doesn't collapse (This type of world is insanely hard to stabilize, and how did it happen? the Undefinable caused its existence) *and a soul that is aware of its moves and eye pixels, that listens to the brain and controls things and chooses by quantum rules (unconnected logic, its not so random)* *but how could no rules create rules?* *and then put even more rules (which are limited)* *and make from it compact creation* *and the rules work perfectly, atoms connect perfectly, things get compact and perfectly smart enough, and it has an observer in it* but the man today is malnourished lacking vitamin D3, Vitamins B group (from B1 to Nitrilosides) and lacking iodine, and vitamin k2 And is fed with seed oils and synthetic creations, and anti-nutrients Good examples are in everything natural, and wheatgrass, and fruit seeds and pumpkins and in fermented foods (one is rich in everything, and another one has nitrilosides (Cyanide, Benzaldehyde, Glucose) and cells that break down them into good things, and another one is an awesome healing food, and another one has increased rate of goods in exchange of sugar, and contains bacteria, that also produce a lot of serotonin and continue their job inside guts) Each area feels differently, and they all give a different way of life The universe is not only 4 dimensional (transparent energy) have you seen animals who can contact with man? have you tried asking the Causer of Existence to give you a way to glorify him then actually doing it? And feeling how does it go? Only the Lord knows about those who don't have beginning and end! And by the intuition and creativity with energy charge! And indeed the greatest practices besides praying and high intensity&high progress work is contemplating about being existent in this body and place And do the goods so they become your goods!!! And Ask the Lord to give you the way! The other great practice is going to a quiet place, then stopping all bodily moves (You will be in a meditative state immediately) In the beginning of all paths (the generalized paths, the state of a purely clean mind) you can choose 2 of them Path of shortsightedness 1.Illusion (and all of them contribute in what they think about, and indeed you should go your ways, and observe everything around you and possibilities that happen in the world, the better people are chosen as those who become good despite being in bad position, and don't worry about paradise, in this state just observe how your subconscious will behave, and free yourself of anything that restricts you, And only ask The Undefinable for knowledge, Because he is the only answerer! You can call him by any name, And free yourself of second-brains (People), they can have bad restrictions) 2.Fuelled fire emotions (those feel like they're near a very deep hole) 3.Evildoing and evil-spreading (the area near them feels like scary darkness!) Or Path that is given in response to that prayer: 1.Choosing the best (Everything is a possibility! The man is with life, and the Undefined has caused life out of nothing!) 2.Knowledgeable (The state of all this-date greats, all of them feel bliss and power, and they see many things in this life, and can do some of hard things that result in great gain) 3.Master of life (Nobody has reached this stage! this is a stage of life-control where the man never fails! in this state the man can create earths, or make suns, or lucid dream in just a second! their words are joyously-burning to each man like sun's light burns eyes!) and what made anything happen? and the causing to happen? In each way that has been deeply gone into glorifies the Undefinable! *Humble is the man which no things affect him in any bad way (And he still is the conscious-clear controller of his body)* *The observer is sent to this life (man's body) for his own achievements and experiences, and take role as someone in this world, and everything can be repeated again as everything is a possibility, and purposes were found for everything to happen in this timeless existence!* *And every placement is like that, the past in this world is like today, with exceptions of position* *So what are your thoughts about the life of this world? Because you exist you have purpose, and happiness, and success, and as every pair of existence exist, then You could have existed before time and will not cease to ever exist!* *And the good should be preserved, because of it we live, and evil hurts man in many ways* *Glory be to the Undefinable!*
