notifications_active Weekly Meshkat-e Noor Session: Thursdays at 20:30 at Haj Reza Mosque
Respected teacher, when the angels record our deeds and their effects, why are we human beings not aware of the effects of our own actions? What would happen if we were aware of them? Is it possible to attain this degree of awareness in this world?
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَ آثَارَهُمْ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
We are unaware of the effects of our actions because “effects” refers to people’s ways, signs, and intentions—things anyone can discern by sharpening their perception. It is possible to attain this degree of awareness in this world, and God records both people’s actions and their effects.
By “traces,” I mean a person’s way of life, conduct, signs, and intentions. Every person leaves traces of their own; they need only look closely!
Dear teacher, you have truly gone to such great lengths. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all your kindness and generosity. May God reward you.
