It takes just a simple habit.

It takes a gaze most times.

Fixated.

All you need to gain the power of intuition may just be your absolute attentiveness.

You see things around in their absoluteness, and different nature.

You note the faintest colours in that fabric, the most hidden expression, the lightest sound and the tiniest glitter.

You are there, smiling, nodding, listening, and yet taking note of almost every detail, every activity around.

This is you developing an intuitive mind.

An intuitive mind gives you personal understanding and inner knowledge.

It helps you to note and know energy types and shifts.

It helps you to protect yours, too.

Be quiet most times cos in the transition of conversations, are many unnoticed activities and information.

Be quiet. It has a reason.

I decided to sit on the balcony this morning.

I usually don’t use this side of the house due to its exposure.

But this morning, everywhere here is quite quiet, and appeared deserted.

It is obvious nobody is around as usual; people rush to work and children go to school.

My head lifts up slowly and honestly, I still don’t know why it did; I did.

The sky probably calls out to my chin to look up, or it says: hello! hi!

And there it spread, magnificent in its nature.

Wearing a unique and almost uniform design of layers.

Still maintaining its dual colours, it looked so beautiful in those apparel kind of design.

I guess it needs a compliment is why the chin lifts.

Seated, face up; glued to the magnificent spread of endless sight, I’m wowed.

I mean, even horizon isn’t in view.

It occurs to me instantly that this spread is just a single sheet all over us all. Amazing.

And yet, in our rush, we hardly notice or pause to marvel at this divine wonder. Amazing.

Then a hummingbird comes around, almost like hoping in my front, mid air. That must have been a: Good morning! lovely look the sky got this morning, isn’t it?!

And here comes my sister, she’s so attaching!

Because another hummingbird hops across to it, and they exchange pecks on each cheek.

I immediately think this must be where nature teaches us to hug cheek to cheek!

We all know divine stories about different birds at different times and places and their impacts and lessons which are still very relevant today.

And the just rising sun looks so clean like it is shining a new lamp. Apparently, it is a new day.

Everything up there looks so clean, clear and fulfilling!

One would never notice or see any fault up there. None.

Everything is doing its own thing, largely benefitting mankind who hardly notice!

Here I am, wondering if I was hurrying somewhere this morning, probably wouldn’t have noticed all of these, too. Amazing.

Amazing how we get so caught up with, and attached to man-made distractions all in the name of finding fulfillment.

And not remembering to pause, look up and get wowed by free gifts from nature that no amount of money can buy.

Nature’s gifts are unnoticeably the wealths we are all seeking.

Think about it.

Words can not describe the feelings I had yesterday.

I was scrolling through pages of an app and a reel caught my attention.

It was an almost dark night but tiny spark of day still held the sky.

The calm sea shone like mirrors reflecting lights.

One could almost think silver glitters were sprinkled all over its large surface.

Who knows, maybe some angels do that all the time, or some times.

The boat wasn’t all alone the guest on it.

It carried few men. Two or three or less.

But I was sure of the dolphins that swam aboard in rows.

Systematic rolls.

Then they began to come up in turns.

It was simply beautiful.

Their backs shining just like the sea top.

Some kind of silver linings and or glitters.

All giving the night a kind of unique colours atmosphere.

Do you know what brought the dolphins in rows up sea?

They were obviously overwhelmed.

They swam in sync.

They have heard the voice of man on a still night. Evening.

They were overwhelmed by the stories he was reading.

They seemed to know they are divine messages to man and genies alike.

They continued to display dolphin-dance in celebration of their Lord.

The man continued to read the divine stories.

The dolphins continued to rejoice in worship.

They apparently knew the divine words - The glorious Qur’an.

All Glory is to the Most High.

Many adults have childhood trauma which now speaks volume in their behaviors.

They may or may not know that the strange and negative attitudes they put up is as result of their childhood experiences.

Many got traumatized due to strict parents or teachers or as a result of bullying from friends and loved ones.

Many developed low self esteem which ate through their adulthood.

Talking about emotional torture due to harshness or resentment or badmouthing,

Some became traumatized at their teen years due to emotional experience:

-Some simply fell in love with the wrong persons.

-Some couldn’t express themselves to the ones they fell in love with.

- Some were heart broken due to rejection.

-Some were taken advantage of due to their situation.

Many adults have moved on but unknown to them, they are not properly healed.

Some have simply become cranky or sarcastic.

Some have become withdrawn and dull.

Some have become hard and bad.

Trigger sometimes hits when similar experience happens again after they thought they had healed and moved on.

Healing outright is the best solution.

To heal, try to face the scary thoughts and analyze the situation.

Try to see how you play your own role as a loved or partner or parent or teacher or friend or family.

Share the experience with loved ones and teach them to be different.

Express yourself to your friends or parents and let them know what such experience was like to you as a child.

Hear their reason or explanation which is most likely to be naivety as a result of inexperience.

Accept their apologies and forgive them. It is hard but it is about the best healing for you.

Many people have similar childhood experience, so, talking about it can be a societal healing and solution.

Taking it personal may mean continuous illness for you.

And sometimes, it is wrong judgement over others especially when you don’t express yourself or hear them out.

Expressing oneself may be the healing that is needed. And the explanation and apology that they need. So much, too.

To err is human. To forgive is divine. To heal is living.

When the almighty God created Adam, He, the most high, made Eve, a female partner for Adam.

They were companies to one another in Eden and even when they were sent down to earth;

They had met again on Plain Arafah, in the Arabian peninsular.

The arc angel had come down to solemnise them in holy matrimony and taught them how to weave clothing from cotton plant.

A new life had begun, hence.

As a mother, Eve carried several pregnancies.

As a mother, she bore her offspring in hard labour.

As a mother, she fed them from her bossom.

As a mother, she taught them manners.

As a mother, she told them stories.

As a mother, she covered them from harm.

As a mother, she washed them.

As a mother, she played with them.

As a mother, she worried about them.

As a mother, she chastised them.

As a mother, she took them places.

As a mother, she prayed for them.

As a mother, she gave life lessons to them.

As a mother, she feared for them.

To every woman, to every female, to every mother, may your affairs be eased.

Motherhood is not just a title, it is sacrifice. It is dedication. It is hardwork.

Little wonder why mothers are divinely honoured.

The best persons anyone could be nicest to is their mother.

Everyone has one.

How good are you to yours?

How kind? How nice? How grateful?

Your paradise lies at her feet.

So,

Be rightly guided.

The jewel and pearl that you’ve been blessed with.

Even in her sleep, you’re in her thought,

And in her prayers, you’re on her mind.

The things mothers do can be no doubt amazing.

To every woman, to every female, to every mother.

Thank you for being one.

To every aspiring one,

Thank you for the beautiful aspiration.

May you be a blessed mother soon, too.

To every woman, to every female, to every mother,

Motherhood is your divine command.

Be grateful.

Everyone sees the moon but with different thoughts about it. With different lens, from different locations, it is the only one moon. Some days, it is newly born, some days, it is full. Some days, it rebirths, again.

To Everyone that takes note of the moon, to Everyone that values the moonlight, to Everyone that blushes at the moon, I say, at the sight of the moon, praise the almighty God, the Maker of it.

We got no diamonds, we got no gold buh we’re as happy as anyone else cos we got the sunshine in the day and got the moonlight in the night; we’re alright.

No one can take these divine gifts from us, so, We’ll be fine.

We’re thankful to the Most High Who let’s the moon loom above us in faith and security!

To Ruqayyah with love. Thank you for the inspiration to do this!

I know everyone knows what this word means. I’m however not referring to its layman use and meaning. I’m rather referring to its divine meaning.

The gift of life and wellness are divine provisions.

The gift of knowledge and even wisdom are also divine provisions.

The gift of wealth and abundance of farm produce are divine provisions.

The gift of power and authority are divine provisions.

The gift of beauty, gait and humility are divine provisions.

And the list of divine blessings are endless.

After the gift of life, the most important provision is the gift of Taqwa; the fear of the almighty God.

When you are opportune to have it, it would help you enjoy and benefit from other provisions that you have.

What is the point of a provision that you don’t benefit divine rewards from?

Whatever blessings you are given, be appreciative, content and kind with them.

Everyone has a share or more of divine blessings called Provision.

It increases and decreases, a lot depends on you.

It curses and blesses, which depends on you, too.

How do you use your blessings-divine provisions?

Especially the divine blessing of Power?

It is a huge blessing of trial on whoever is opportune to have it.

It is a very delicate provision which requires only Taqwa to make it a blessing unto the beneficiary.

Don’t get power drunken, rather be power wise by using such provision to bless others in kindness, patience, humility, forgiveness, fairness, support, giving: fearing the almighty God.

Remember He, The most high God gave you every provision for a reason.

As trials on how you would use and reach out to others with it.

Your blessings are not meant for you to be pompous or harsh or unkind. And some of it are not all meant for you alone. This is the wisdom behind Zakat; giving.

You are a divine messenger of provisions one way or another.

Your blessings are meant for you to be mindful of accountability of your provisions on that day that eyes would stare in horror. The Day of Accountability. The Day of Judgement. The Day of Reckony. The Last Day. The Day of Disgrace to some, the Day of Joy to some.

The day that provisions would be justly rewarded according to our use of them.

Provisions are no doubt blessings unto you. Be remindful and wise with them.

Wishing you and I all the best as we enjoy and bless one another out of our divine blessing: provisions.

And soon, everyone would have a fair share of one or two of what is lacking of food, shelter, clothing, education, money, freedom, peace,good health, and more, according to their own divinely allotted share. And after a while, everyone would be peacefully content and satisfied, and the world would be peaceful and better.

I decided to take my Moringa tea this morning.

Since I bought it, I haven’t taken it, so, the pack is still intact.

As I made to pull the sealed nylon, I noticed something.

It was a white speck.

I easily could have taken it to be a speck of chalk if I had one at home or if it wasn’t moving.

This white speck was actively moving on the tea carton.

I slowed down and studied it for a while.

I thought within me, “this is using same ‘life’ energy as humans, after all it is a living thing!”

I decided to return the rectangular carton back to the cabinet.

“Don’t let me disrupt your journey, you really seem to have a place that you’re going.”

Then I made another tea.

As I sat at the table sipping, I thought of how much we disregard the gift of life of TINY creations that the eyes can see.

I’m not talking about fungi, bacteria or pests and roaches now, I’m talking about those specks of whatever, that are bigger than atoms only enough for the human eyes to see them; those specks that possess living ability.

Amazing.

I then continued to think of other beautiful but bigger guests that come everyday but we are always too busy to notice them or appreciate God’s wonderful creation:

The lovely birds of different species that make it a timely duty to sing to our earing every morning.

The butterflies that roam the flowers, pecking and picking, friendlily.

Then the ants and bees who are always minding their businesses of searching and building.

All these guests are quite obvious around us but man is always too busy to notice and appreciate them.

No doubt that humans are highly honored by the almighty God.

Even with our size, we are capable of handling bigger creatures.

We are capable of keeping them.

We are capable of controlling them.

We are capable because we are blessed with wisdom.

This blessing of wisdom is what gives us the inspiration to think and the intelligence to know and decide.

This blessing that stands us out from other creation isn’t man-made; we only nurture it.

This blessing is a divine mercy which we must be thankful for, and use rightly.

Let’s always appreciate all divine gifts especially those that stand us out.

When you give love, it comes back to you.

When you give money, it comes back to you.

When you give kindness, it comes back to you.

Whatever you put out, comes back to you.

In manifolds many times-reaching your far and wide.

This is a natural and divine phenomenon.

Will everyone begin to give out as much as they can of all beautiful essence from within?

Will everyone begin to share out as much as they can of the beautiful material things they own?

In no time, there would be an almost global balance.

In no time, love, kindness, peace, money, will be fairly shared.

And that’s just fine.

And then, the world would have healed. A great deal.

We’re all from one man and one woman,

We’re all brothers and sisters.

Our colour is by our sand tone, not a mistake;

Different shades of fair and brown.

We’re all brothers and sisters.

Interest and divine Will took everyone to different destinations,

Then we became distant relatives.

Yes, that’s what we all are, not strangers.

Let’s give ‘giving’ a try and see how beautifully we can co-exist.

Something disturbing,

Something fearful,

Something pelting,

Something not nice.

Fear.

Why do we give its hoarse voice a chance anyway?

It only wants to stress up the beats!

It only wants to laugh at those responses,

It only wants to shame that faith,

It only wants to distract the mind,

It only wants to steal joyful thoughts,

It only wants to celebrate depressing depression.

Fear has no place where faith is.

To fight fear, fill up with faith.

To have faith, fight fury fear.

To be fulfilled, find faith and live every moment with it.

Faith is the feeling of the divine that we don’t see.

Faith opens the third eye and we clearly ‘see’ that divine helper.

And then don’t worry.

And we hence live in faithful fulfillment with fates.

To the Almighty God belongs all faith. Absolutely.

So, where’s your faith, friend?
