world religions : islam - "Serving God"

By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

Serving God is automatic once His glance falls upon the heart and the heart, in love with the Beloved, surrenders freely. A Hadith says:

My servant draws near to Me by means of nothing dearer to Me than that which I have established as a duty for him. And my servant continues’ drawing nearer to Me through free devotions (supererogatory acts) until I love him; and when I love him, I become his ear with which he hears, his eye with which he sees, his hand with which he grasps, and his foot with which he walks. And if he asks Me [for something], I give it to him. If indeed he seeks My help, I help him.”
