Allah, the Most Exalted, says: "And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allah." Surah An-Nahl (16:53)
This is a call to contemplate the source of graces and blessings. These surround man throughout his life. They include the internal elements that control his body systems. They also include the external ones that provide his means of life. They ensure life's better progress. Can he find another actual source for all these blessings besides Allah? This is indisputably not possible. The direct causes man finds will eventually lead him to Allah. He created the cause and for every cause its effect. He created man and inspired him into his actions and creations. This is the evidence of the oneness of Allah. It is manifested by the movement of blessings in life. There are also many other evidence of His oneness manifested in the movement of creation.
However, man might overlook his Lord. He might continue until he eventually forgets Him. He might forsake any commitment towards Him. Then, he would receive a shock. This shock makes him shudder and return to his conscience. It helps him retrieve his awareness. Thus, he would find out that he is, once more, in need for Allah. He would beseech and invoke Him. He would be in a state of distress, fear, and submission. He would implore Him to relieve him from any hardship. For Allah says: "Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help." This means you cry out seeking His help.
One might deny Allah. One might overlook Him. One might ascribe partners to Him. However, the profound innate nature attached to every feeling awakens. It moves and whispers the word "Allah" to the emotions, heart, and mind. This revives man. It overwhelms him with kindness, love, and affection. These are showered upon him by Allah. He pardons and forgives him. He treats him with mercy and kindness. In this way, man does not feel barriers obstructing his hope for mercy. This hope drives away any evilness. It alleviates his concerns, distresses, and sufferings.
Thus, the profound feeling of Allah’s presence in one’s innermost prevails. It pinpoints the oneness of Allah through feelings and thoughts. The heart seeks refuge in Him only when it senses danger. The mind heads only to Him when inquiring about the secret of existence.
Thereupon, the bond between the Creator and the creature becomes profoundly instilled. The feeling in the One and only God becomes the spiritual profoundness that governs man’s course in life. Thus, it is one’s conscience and inner feelings that sense Allah. They sense Him even before the mind concludes His existence.
