Those Who Submit to Truth vs. Those Who Submit Truth to Themselves [Quote - 285]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book III (201-300)

"Here is a small secret about the world.

When an element of truth comes before people -- Kalimatu Haqq as the Hadith calls it -- some people leap to embrace it.

They are the ones whose hearts and minds have been opened by Allah's mercy and blessings.

Some others, however, look at truth and ask: How can they fit it into their own agendas and scheme of things.

Those are the ones who, rather than submit themselves to truth, try to submit truth to their own needs, agendas, plans, goals, ambitions, purposes and situations.

These two groups of people are fairly evident to those who have eyes to see.

Wallahu Baseerum Bil'Ibaad -- Allah is fully aware of what people are up to!" (Dr. Pasha)
