As I write this post the sky suddenly is pouring its tears, its rain drops after an amazing thunder show which puts your heart from tears to more tears and causes your heart to remember Him.
When you seek Allahs Signs, like you literally just think Oh Allah show me a Sign, Allah shows you Signs, subhanAllah.Lately I havent taken enough time to contemplate and seek His Signs, but I as soon as I turn my heart to Him He shows me Signs. Before yesterday I was complaining about something and the person advised me to have "sabr" I thought of the aya in Surat Yusuf about "Sabrun Jamil" the next day in the Masjid I was there when I wasn't even supposed to go and the Sheikh started reciting Surat Yusuf, I take that as a Sign from Allah reassuring me that don't worry , just be patient Allah is with you.
Tonight I once again came across a difficult situation in which I must make a decision I don't want to make. My heart was at unease and then I felt even more sad when I realized how far I was from Allah.
I was about to sleep, then I decided I would stay up longer to study and I decided to tune into Radioquraan.com (I always do when I want Allah to send me as Sign). I go on and its Surat Al Khaf and then I decided I didn't like the Qaris style of recitation so I went on YouTube searching for Sign....And then I hear lots of thunder, it was loud..its 3 AM and I remembered when the same thing happen a couple of years ago when it was the middle of the night and I saw thunder, so I got up to the window to watch Allahs Sign of Thunder. Then I went back to pick up my phone to listen to the Surah of "The Thunder" "Ar Rad"...and from there I realized this was Allah showing me Signs, Allah is showing me His Signs in the Sky. There was Light shining in the Sky, it was like the Light your heart feels when it goes from darkness to light as it remembers Allah.
quran.com/13
It is He who shows you lightening, causing fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.
And the thunder exalts Allah with praise of Him and the angels as well from fear of Him and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah ; and He is severe in assault.
I must say I was kind of worried like what if the thunder shocks me but somehow I remembered Allahs Mercy and how He would protect me and I felt some ease upon my heart as I listened to Him Speak to me through the Quran His Words.
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
The Surah was addressing many of my dunya problems, the Surah was giving me an inspiration of Light along with the light of the thunder, the mix of a perfect moment of remembrance of Allah in which my heart, eyes, and ears were all remembering Him...and I noticed when some ayahs were recited the lighting was more evident. The Surah had ayas about Allah showing you His Ayas Signs.
And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" You are only a warner, and for every people is a guide.
When I heard this aya I thought of how I almost gave up a special part of my life and I thought of the angels mentioned in this verse
And those who are patient, seeking the countenance of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided for them secretly and publicly and prevent evil with good - those will have the good consequence of [this] home -
Gardens of perpetual residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying],
"Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home."
