God is intentional and nothing happens by accident

unseen and seen realms and the meeting point between existence and nonexistence. However, paradoxically, Allah is also the ground of polarity, both fully the manifestation of the inner (Al-Batin) and fully the manifestation of the outer (Az-Zahir).
“God is outside of things, but not in the sense of being alien to them; and He is inside of things, but not in the sense of being identical with them.”
IMAM ALI
It is as a result of these seemingly contradicting statements that Allah is, by definition, that which breaks the mind. As the mystics say, “Only God can know God” because “there is none comparable to Him” (112:4). Therefore, by definition, Allah has no opposites, and since the human mind understands the world through association and comparison, it is rendered incapable of understanding

“Secrets of Divine Love remedies my deepest existential dread by reminding me of my inherent worth as a being that is unconditionally loved.

I find myself irresistibly falling in love with God and Islam.”

Your connection with God is innate, because it is His love that brought you to life and His love that keeps you alive.

This book is meant to remind you of all that you already are and always have been, to remind you that you matter, that God loves you unconditionally, that you have been created intentionally with a divine purpose, and that you already have all that you need to awaken your heart and soul on the path to God. Place your trust in the Divine and let Him lead you back into the embrace of His everlasting love.

God did not just create you, He perpetually re-creates and sustains you (10:4). He wraps His love like the arms of a galaxy around every soul who comes and seeks; He sings your cells into harmony and drums your heart into a beat. He is the One that created you from water and earth (23:12), the One that preferred you to His angels (7:11), the One that planted a reflection of His entire universe into the soil of your spirit. Everything in existence is between His fingers of mercy.

When the world goes to sleep, God is the One who is awake with you. God sees the tears you hide with smiles and He embraces the pain you think no one would understand.

Tell me, if a single leaf cannot fall on the entire Earth without God’s knowledge, how could your heart break without His healing presence embracing you?

“Take one step toward Me, I will take ten steps toward you. Walk toward Me, I will run toward you.”9
