Recently i've been thinking. Well actually i spend alot of my time thinking. Come to think of it, i think a rather lot. I often think, what are people thinking, not of me, but just in general i wonder whats going through their minds. Especially when it come to little babies and children. Sometimes they stare off into space and i think what are thinking about. But i guess we'll never know. I mean you can very well ask your family members or friends, but they can very well tell you something else instead of what they were really thinking. Or you'll get this blatant lie of an answer when you ask 'what you thinking about?' and you get the response 'nothing.' Duh thats not possible. I should know, as i often give that response. Its just easier to say. Or the other one is when you ask whats wrong and they say nothing! when clearly there is. Again i do it. Is it lie to say nothing? Well i would say it is an incomplete sentence. Nothing.......that i want to discuss right now.
See thoughts are of a very special status. Its where your intentions lie. It is the start of your will and determination. It is the secret connection between man and God. Alhamdulillah deeds are good, its out in the open, its a doing thing. But with thoughts you're entering a different realm altogether. Your thoughts are you. Nobody could ever truly completely know you. Even your nearest and dearest. EXCEPT. And yes there is an exception. Allah. The Creator of your thoughts. Back to that bond between you and your Lord (Ha, i do have a point to this). And i pray to God we all have a bond, because, by God, without it our thoughts are in utter ruins. There is absolutley no point to our existence. Imagine we go through the day with the many thoughts in our head, but not even one was related to talking to Allah or acknowledging Him. How selfish and ungrateful is that. Even if we don't voice our gratitude or thank Allah through our actions, the least we could do is give a silent thanks in our head. Truth is not a minute should go by, where we dont think about Allah, Exalted be He, deserves far more Praise. For HE knows who is thinking of Him and who is not. He knows when something was done for His sake and when something was not. I am afraid as i am writing, because HE knows this post started off with me just trying to be psycological but as i got into it, my thought process changed. He knows what you're thinking when you read this post. He knows what im thinking whilst your reading this post. Yes this is the magnificence of our Lord. SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi, subhana rabbil azheem.
See thats why i like thinking. Its the silent exchange between me and my Lord, a territory where nobody else can go. But of course theres the dark side, that Allah also knows of but He may have Mercy on me for it, which is why i will never tell you.............

Masha'Allah, thought-provoking... Hehe :-D.
You're right. Sometimes I catch myself thinking nonsense and I think back to what I was thinking and realise that my head is full of rubbish sometimes. Allahu musta'an. It definitely depends on your level of iman. If you've "spent time" with your Lord in 'ibadah, dhikr, good deeds with conscious intentions (rather than the acts we so often do mechanically) then our thought process will inevitably reflect that. Like in the AlKauthar Drops of Dew course when we learnt about the aspects of iman (ie that it consists of belief in the heart, statement of the tongue and actions of the limbs), the sheikh mentioned that all three go up and down in roughly the same proportion. When our thoughts are not connected to Allah then we need to check our actions and try to purify our hearts.
On a side note, I have to mention :) I didn't realise YOUR thoughts were so deep, you surprise me sometimes.
i'm thinking this was a very good reminder, jazakAllah.
i've also been thinking and thinking about why you put "flying" under interests in your profile, because i don't think you travel much, and then i remembered the whole extended metaphor thing you have going on with the caged bird.
i know, the scope of my stupidity astounds even me sometimes:)
