No one has the ability to understand or visualize God. He is beyond the grasp of (human) intellect. God’s Glory and His Existence are preeminent, transcendent, and incomparable. He shall remain when every other thing (in His creation) shall perish. He existed before the universe came into being. He is Eternal, He has always been that way, and He shall always remain as such.
Nobody is a partner with Him in His Domain, Might, and Glory. He has explained this Himself (in the Qur’an). He is the One True God, Whom all should acknowledge and worship. Remember, My Son, had there been any other god besides the One True God, he (the other) would have also sent his (own) prophets, and they would have pointed out to humankind the domain and glory of the other god. The One who sends calamities also has the power to protect you from the calamities. The One who annihilates has the power to bring everything back again into existence. I ask you to make a promise to yourself to follow my advice carefully. I firmly believe that God will help you to achieve your aims in life. Build your character with the help of true faith in religion and God.Īs you are a noble, virtuous, and pious young man, I am confident that you will receive Divine Guidance and Succour. Adopt God-consciousness and overcome your excessive desires with its help.

Be attached to and carefully guard the principles of Islam (submission to God) that connect you with God. Keep the thought of Him always fresh in your mind.
