state

what one sees
reflect one's state (maqam)

it is Allah swt's blessing
that elevates one's state to another

the higher state reflects in a more comprehensive understanding,
sincerity, patience, gratitude, and istiqamah

when advancement (of state) has occured,
questions and tribulations of the proceeding (state) become irrelevant

continuum

life is a continuum,
the continuous are superior to the discrete

within and without,
time and space continuum are interdependent

whoever is blind in this world,
will be blind in the next world

the cure to this blindness is the noor (light) of Allah swt,
the source of guidance, strength, and istiqamah

blessed are those who deserve
and have been granted the noor from the One true source, the Most Merciful

Allah swt provides a certain intensity of His noor to a preselected person(s) at a predetermined time according to His will, plan, and wisdom alone
