God is Merciful indeed…He guides whoever He wishes
in His Nur.
I was reading again the writings of non-Muslims’ beautiful thoughts about an
outstanding Muslim Turkish thinker. I begin to reflect….no matter how successful you are, how knowledgeable
you are, how intelligent you are…you will not be saved if you don’t believe in
truth….when a person closes his heart to God’s light, he will stay in the
darkness, he will not receive God’s mercy, he will not be saved by the light of
belief…
I just met two of my friends, in my work place who
have opened their hearts to the light of belief and came to Islam..it is
touching to hear their stories…When a person opens his heart to God’s light, he
will receive God’s mercy...and he will be saved with the light of belief.. which
is the light of God…
I flashed back, many years ago, how I came to Islam, how God saved me…. and how recently God tested
me being a single mum, how God brought me to Istanbul Foundation for Science
and Culture, how Bediuzzaman Said Nursi saved my belief through Risale I Nur and Quran which is healing my wounded heart and making me stand again
to face the world for the hereafter...
and recently how my youngest daughter said to me “Ummi,
I love you, and I want you to know, as long as Allah wishes, I will always be
with, you. Ummi you are the strongest woman I have ever seen in my life, I want to be as
strong as you, Ummi….let us together seek Allah’s love ..I love you , Ummi for the
sake of Allah..”
Now I have reached the final route of my PhD research journey...As for me, I am weak but God is strong, He is my strength…Thank
you Allah for your endless Love and Mercy….
Here is a photo of her taken during our hiking trip
to watch the sunset from one of the neighbouring hills near our home at the
wetlands….
THIS IS WHAT LOVE CAN DO!!!
