We have the treasure! we don't need to dress up extravagantly to impress! We have the best shelter, the best solutions, excellent protection, above all we have You who really understands our needs, our desires and all of our wishes. Truly we are the rich. We have You, who is ready to forgive and ignore our faults and weakness, who is eagerly waiting for us to GIVE, who is watching over us and waiting in good faith that we will come back to our faith in him in this worldy life. We have you who keeps giving us warnings with love, patients, rewards and consequences. As the most generous Lord as you o Allah! you can never give punishments other than nurturing and giving guidance. A beautiful Hadith e Kudsi is the best proof of it " Oh son of Adam! As long as you call upon me i shall forgive you for what you have done and i shall not mind. O son of Adam! were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgivenss of me, i would forgive you. Oh son of Adam! were you to come to me with sins with as great as the earth and were you then to face me, ascribing no partner to me, i would grant you forgiveness as great as it". Where will you find someone as merciful as Allah in your life?
As a kid did your parents set some rules and standard for you? Did they kept bothering you 24/7 to be more attentive in your studies and good manners? But you kept having huge distance from them thinking they bug you!they don't understand you! Why don't they leave you alone? They can't! because they have a big faith and confidence in your abilities. They know if you focus and take things seriously you can push the bar higher. What about our lord who created us? If our parents can have high hopes and confidence in us when we are just born from them, then what about our creator who created us? Doesn't he believe in us? Do you remember the story of Adam and Eve? Are they simply a story that Allah wants us to listen and forget? Have you found Allah saying to the angels that "what i know you know not" when Angels gave objection to create a new representative who is apparently the human; Angels didn't stop there, they gave examples of mischief and chaos created then by Jinns ? What is the importance of that verse? I think it the verse of confidence of Allah on us, simply putting trust on our abilities than the Angels'. Allah knows we will know him and obey him, even after some slips off, we will get back to him. He believes in the power of Love and trust system that he created for us. His love for us is easily understood In one verse where Our lord clearly says “What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe?” (Qur’an, 4:147).
Have you found some one in your life who will always behave as you have thought of him ? Never, it is impossible. But if you listen to the words of the final messenger what he says about Allah(SWT) your tears will roll down to your cheeks, you will cry, he says "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."(Volume 9, Book 93, Number 502.) Where will i find a giver and a lover like him?

In other place in the surat al araf Allah says" .. As for punishment i strike with it anyone i will. My mercy extends/encompasses to all things..." All things? doesn't it also cover the sinners then? What a merciful lord he is! That is the source of Hope and trust for the people, that's how generous he is!
