Knowing that most golf balls for example are white, whereas someone who’s never seen the sport before, doesn’t necessarily put you at an advantage of any sort, but this mere distinct difference, even though it is extremly minuate, actually helps develop your level of perception and reality. Nothing is trivial in the pursuit of knowledge. It is this knowledge, whether you gain it by talking to someone, reading a newspaper, publications, etc., no matter how it comes to you – it shakes your world just by you ‘merely’ thinking about that piece of information. Why do I call this a sign? Have you ever just gone about your life and then come across something that changes the way you think, the decisions you make. Everything to reach a new level of knowledge is before us. “Something else that was already there” – what does that mean? Think of it this way: space, stars, planets were already a part of this universe before man actually confirmed the discovery. It is those new ideas, thoughs, research in progress that we may never be a part of unless we dedicate time to develop our knowledge and perhaps even actively participate in pushing the boundaries of what we already know to discover something else that was already there. While many of these everyday things seem trivial knowledge pursuits and we may be able to find out the answers to all of them quickly. In simpler, everyday terms – why a bus route may change in our neighborhood, the rules of basketball, research on space exploration, etc. Because knowledge is infinite and we are bound by our fate and the limits of time, there is no way that we can know everything that there is possible to know about this life, this universe. From this realization, we realize that us, as human beings, will never attain complete knowledge or understanding. The ability to perceive, gain, or attain any sort of new knowledge – this is a sign from Allah(swt) in our lives because it stands firm with the idea that knowledge is never-ending. Here’s some amazing things alhamdullilah that I have come across during this period of contemplation.ġ. Any reassurance I’m going the right way, or any new enlightenment of some sort. As I try to analyze my life – who I am, what brought me to the point I am now and where I can go and who I have the potential of becoming in the future – I have resorted to quick dua’s during periods of stress and I’ve kept my eyes open for any sort of sign.
