 In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
---------------
In verses 9:126-129 of the Noble Quran, Allah asks mankind this question: do they not see that they are tried every year once or twice?
It is noticeable that mankind anywhere and everywhere is tested at least once a year with drought, disaster, catastrophe, misfortune and/or diseases.
However, still they do not repent of their disbelief nor do they remember or do they heed admonition.

Verses 9:126-129 of the Noble Quran give the question of this article and talk about it.
The meanings of the verses 9:126-129
Verse 9:126 says:
Do they not see that they are tested, afflicted and tried every year once or twice?
It is noticeable that mankind anywhere and everywhere is tested at least once a year with drought, disaster, catastrophe, misfortune and/or diseases.
Still they do not repent of their disbelief nor do they remember or do they heed admonition.
Verse 9:127 says:
And whenever a Surah is revealed, whenever Gabriel brings down a Surah exposing the fault of the hypocrites and the Prophet Muhammad used to recite to them; they, the hypocrites look one at another as who should say: Dos anybody among the sincere believers see you? Then they turn away from the prayer, the sermon, the Truth and guidance.
Allah turns away their hearts from the Truth and guidance.
It is also said: they swerved from the truth and guidance, and so Allah swerved their hearts from the truth and guidance because they are a folk who understand not, nor believe in the command of Allah.
Verse 9:128 says:
Verily there has come to you a messenger from among yourselves, O man, that is, Muhammad; for whom it is grievous, hard, that you should suffer, that is, your suffering, your experiencing hardship and encountering harm [is hard on him]; who is full of concern for you, that you should be rightly guided; to the believers full of pity, profoundly compassionate, merciful, desiring good for them.
Verse 9:129 says:
Now, if they turn away from faith, repentance and that which you have told them O Muhammad; say: Allah suffices me my trust is in Allah.
There is no God save Him; there is no protector or helper except Him.
In Him have I put my trust, I put my trust in and rely on Him, and
He is Lord of the Tremendous Throne.

See the second doorway, and see a very bright light shining through it, into your head and body.Feel the lights calming influence, as it fills your head space and body, as you watch this special light, see the doorway becoming brighter and clearer within your imaginational sight.Now imagine, as you are breathing, that inside your body and head, there are two symbols, which are of a positive and negative appearance.The positive symbol is placed around the solur plexus, and the negative symbol is placed around where your brain is positioned.So imagine with your inner sight, that you are watching the breathing of air, travelling in and out of you.Imagine you can see, both the negative and positive symbols together, within the same image.Imagine seeing the negative at the top, and positive symbol at the bottom of your imaginationery sight and awareness of your inner self.Now watch as you breath, when the air travels downwards, into your solar plexus area, see the positive symbol get brighter, as the air is around this position within the body.Then, as the air starts to go outwards, out of your nose or mouth, see the negative symbol in your head, light up as the outwards air is exiting your inner workings.Now watch with your inner visual image, the performance of your in and out breathing process, seeing the symbols grow quickly in size, untill they are so large, that the images extend beyond the inner body, into the area around the outer of the body.Now, put your hands together, into a praying positionalism appearance.Look at your hands, see they are positioned together, in the praying fashion, of been joined together at the end of each and every finger and thumb.Now, as you are observing your hands, in this praying like position, say out loud, with a calm voice, "My hands now represent my heart".Now keep watching, your joined together hands, now as you are seeing them, make sure that they are fitting together, with no visible gap between them, so not even a tiny space is visible.Within your eye sights ability, of this real physical image, your hands, which now you can witness in action. Move your self-awareness into the focused position, to notice how your heart and breathing are doing, inside your body.Notice, that as you are watching, the perfectly joined hands,the greater to the degree do you focus in, on seeing the absense of any gaps, just now seeing the perfectness of them fiting to gether exactly, as if they were realy one piece, then this physical image, with the constant visual attention to how they look as if they were actually one piece,will make the real heart and breathing process, naturally their best.Now, imagine the image of your hands praying, with in your minds inner visionery sight, there is no more need to look at your physical hands, now the image of the praying hands is within the minds memory.Now image, with your minds eye, the two hands positioned, in their togetherness as one piece. As the inner eye produces the image of the hands, notice your heart and breathing, being in the best possible, intunement and healthiest state of operations.Now be aware, that as these two separate inner imagisms, are watched together in one mental perceptive image, then all of the physical body, automatically stays in absolute stillness, until you decide to move, some part of the body for a reason of doing something which then you will firstly, visually image the physical movement or alteration of the body, one stage or more than this, previously before it really performs the act, at the same time, maintaining the complete inner body imagism.Contact masterishedteac@aol.com or tel 0044 5601762826 or 0044 7867977810
