Book Description
Pitch dark… You can’t see your hand in front of your face. You don’t see anything... When you don’t see, you don’t know, you aren’t known. Something like nothingness... But suddenly, as if you’ve pushed a button, everything becomes illuminated, visible, known... What a beautiful thing it is to exist. Living is a beautiful thing indeed. Life is the button of that light. Our Lord gave us life while we were far from life and friends. He gave us both life and friends... What a beautiful thing life is... Whatever is beautiful, we know it through life; we taste it through life; we experience all the beauties of life. We also find ourselves with life. Life is such a beautiful thing... It’s beautiful like air, like breathing... It’s beautiful like feeling as if you’re drowning, surfacing quickly and taking a deep breath. We save ourselves from drowning with every breath. It would be so good if we could enjoy being kept alive with every breath... How to be grateful for living; how to pay for the blessing of life. Getting used to things makes us blind, we can no longer see. Although the blessing we take for granted is staring us in the face, we throw it into that pitch darkness. When you can’t see it as a blessing, you can’t be grateful... Is there a cure for habituation? Yes, there is. Let’s close our eyes for a few seconds. Let’s open our eyes as if we were using them for the first time after the darkness... What is it like to see, to be able to see? What would you miss if you didn’t see? You can apply such a method of ‘breaking habituation’ for every blessing you have received and everything you love. This is how you can tear the veil of habituation... As the poet says: “Living is such a beautiful thing By understanding, like a master, a book Like a love song Living in wonder like a child...” As we get used to something and take it for granted, the taste, meaning and beauty of seeing it for the first time disappears. We can tear the veil of habituation and renew the meaning of life in our minds by changing our perspective. There lies the taste of life… … Isn’t this important too? The perfect level of life is the life of heaven. Our most vital issue is to turn this world into heaven on the one hand, and to do things that will elevate our lives to heavenly life on the other hand. Man was created for happiness in two worlds... However, happiness on earth and happiness in heaven are not the same. Since opposites coexist in the world, it will be unrealistic to seek full happiness. However, man can find peace with a ‘faithful attitude’ among the waves, turmoil, changes and the hustle and bustle of the world. One should live life to the fullest... He should increase his good deeds. He should fill his life with beauty. Living is really beautiful if you live like this... One should not forget the one who gave this beautiful life. We should not forget that we have Lord, who loves us more than anything He created. He is the one who creates love, He is the one most worthy of being loved; we should not forget it... Flowers, roses, especially butterflies; the stars, the moons, the sun, the seasons... one should live by appreciating them. In other words, we should give them their due on behalf of Allah... Living is really beautiful when you live like that... Otherwise, you see that living has become a dungeon and something meaningless... … Inshallah, “Living is a Beautiful Thing” will touch hearts and lead people to good deeds... May Allah be with you.
