I recently read in a healthy living magazine that there are four things guaranteed to make your body sick:
Excessive talking
Excessive sleeping
Excessive eating
Excessive socializing
That’s especially interesting to me because those are four of the things all Spiritual teachers advise against. God is Great! He sends His Wisdom to all people to find when they look [...]

Recently I read an article written over 100 years ago. It was very interesting and informative.

In his most helpful book, Futuh Al-Ghaib, the honorable author Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, may his soul be Blessed, gave a discourse in which he divided humanity into four types. One type has no tongue and no heart and they are the people of chastisement and wrath and anger of God. Another kind of [...]

So many people complain about every little thing. I especially noticed this after the third warm sunny day in a row after we had freezing weather for two weeks and what did most people I met say? “We need rain!” God is Great! He sent us rain. Then the comments changed to: “Brr, it’s so [...]

This morning I heard a love song –most beautiful because it was about a young man’s love for God. One line I recall was “I’d use my final breath to call out Your Name”. I thought of all the young men, women and children doing just that – with their last breaths calling out to [...]
