Noor/Joy: And upon sharing it

Published by ilana at 2:01 am under AIM, JOY! alhumduillah, NOOOOOORRRR!!!!

me (11:21:14 PM): “‘Though it is possible to utter words only with the intention to fulfill the will of God, it is very difficult not to think about the impression which they will produce on men and not to form them accordingly. But deeds you can do quite unknown to men, only for God. And such deeds are the greatest joy that a man can experience.”
-Leo Nilolaevich Tolstoy

BLAH (12:12:23 AM): mmm

BLAH (12:12:27 AM): thats still in your heart though

BLAH (12:12:35 AM): the noor illiminates your heart

BLAH (12:12:46 AM): which in turn affects the rest of your body and your behaviors

me (12:13:10 AM): until you start singing and dances and randomly screaming?

me (12:13:12 AM): LOOLLz

me (12:18:10 AM): heehee

me (12:18:21 AM): my point was

me (12:18:28 AM): by not sharing such things

BLAH (12:18:32 AM): uhuh

me (12:18:42 AM): does it make it more precious?

BLAH (12:18:53 AM): sometimes

BLAH (12:19:24 AM): if you share it with someone else and it improves them, if it improves their outlook on life, or makes them happy and smile, then it makes you more happy as a result, because you just helped someone feel better

BLAH (12:19:26 AM): or become better

BLAH (12:19:28 AM): so then

BLAH (12:19:41 AM): it becomes even more valuable to you because you know you canhelp others with it

    (dont know why my comment got cut off…)

    was saying before, that section i quoted from your words is the absolute 1000% truth, no doubt to it.

    rivers flood (i.e. cant handle it) when it rains from the heavens, but oceans dont flood. so when u hide that noor, ur capacity grows so next time ur able to contain more, until you reach a point where it doesnt affect u on the outside and u look completely normal outwardly, while inwardly there’s a whole storm of noor flying about.

    the *rule* is: you can share it with those who have 1) greater capacity than you, and 2) who are authorized and permitted to train/guide people to Allah. in that case, it wont dissipate but grow thru the blessing that comes thru them…
