Allah has created billions of witnesses, and we are afraid to say that Allah exists and that Allah is making this universe work. What else is Allah going to do? That is why when you say “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah” do not be a liar. Look and see. Be firm in your belief, because Allah is not hidden, Allah is all around us.”Muhammadan Rasulullah.” If it were not for Muhammad (peace be upon him), then I would not be here. He is the explainer of all of this. Where do I get my knowledge? I do not have any knowledge, all knowledge belongs to Allah and His Prophet (pbuh) distributes it. He can put it in your heart too; all that you have to do is “get out of the way”. When you do zikr, each one of Allah’s names has a different frequency that literally cleans your nafs. That is why we say, “la ilaha illallah, Ya Allah, Ya Hu, Ya Haqq, Ya Hayy.” It cleans your DNA. You have to change, and doing zikr changes your DNA.
