Reaching Out...2-Delicate Breeze!

With your Name!
I live in the towns, the cities, the countries. I travel the highways, the roads, the streets. I visit the markets, the hospitals, the graveyards. And in this hustle bustle, feel tired of the deceptions of Your enemies, knitted to trap Your friends. Though I can not claim to be one of Your friends, to be a devotee, but still...want to be with them! Want to protect the flickering candle-flame inside, which lights up my heart with Your love; love of everything which is good, love of justice and truth. I am looking for a shelter; a safe haven. Some way of getting to You and helping others make this world a better place to live in.

If one really looks around, out of his gloominess and despair, he is bound to find many signs that his Creator is really Reaching Out to him. Wants to save him, and others, from disaster. Wants to pull him towards the high heavens, peaceful life.
But for that to happen, man and the society will have to make an effort, will have to take the first step, will have to reach that intention, the resolution.....will have to raise their hand to grab the help and....the rest will follow. Certainly! It does need FAITH that, the rest will follow. That's what all our being-sent-down and being tested, is all about...!
These helps are of different types, natures, significance and uses...
In a Hadith-e-Qudsee (a Divine Tradition) it has been narrated that Prophet Dawood (David) (AS) was told in a revelation:
إنّ لله فی أیّام دهرِکُم نفحات ألا! أن ترصّدوا بها" 
"Surely! Certain breezes blow in your lives, which belong to Allah. Beware of them, and attain them!! (be in their way and utilize them well)." (Bihar-ul-Anwar, V. 77)
These breezes of blessings and help, DO blow! But they take different forms.Some are particular physical locations in the world, which have a Divine and Holy mark and environment. Some are special points in time, all around the year, or a few times every year, or some once a year. And some other forms too. What is important, is that, if we want to make the most of it, want to find a safe haven, want to make this world a better place for all, we will have to feel these delicate winds that blow and are all around us. Lets be attentive and realize! Seize the opportunities!
We will be discussing some of them (with the Help of Almighty-Insha Allah) in the coming posts. So please keep reading, following and contribute with your feed backs.
