The Resonating Soul
What happens when you are moving the knob of the radio? You are
tuning it to a particular station. When the
frequency of the internal circuitry matches frequency of the
station you wish to listen to, it starts to resonate. This
resonance enables you to clearly hear the station you wish to.
What happened to NajashiRA when JabirRA was
reciting the Holy Quran to him? The inscription on his soul
started resonating with the words of the Holy Quran and
he started weeping. The effect the Holy Quran had on his heart
made it crystal clear to him that it has the same
source as Taurah and Injeel.
All of us are born on true nature (fitrah). The moral laws
within us, the divine verdicts inscribed on our soul
are enough for our guidance but this world takes us away from
our real essence. We start forgetting our purpose of
life. At that time the Az Zikr(Holy Quran) reminds us why we
were sent to this world. The non-believers, if they
posses fitrat e saleema (sound nature), their souls experiences
a shiver as they go through the Holy Quran. Many
non-believers enter into the fold of Islam on simply hearing the
Holy Quran. Many get convinced on the truth of
Islam when they listen to the recitation of the Holy Quran even
when they dont understand it. This divine melody
has the power to penetrate into the soul and shake it, and its
meanings have the muscle to influence sound minds.
The battle between our soul and animalistic body continues. The
soul continually forces us to associate
ourselves with Allah, as the soul has direct connection with
Allah. The animalistic body focuses on its material wants
only. A successful person is one whose soul wins, and the looser
is one who listens to the animalistic needs alone.
We are made to go through various exercises which make us
understand our true self. We are not human beings on
a spiritual journey; we are spiritual beings on a human journey.
A soul which is more influencing than the body, with
which it is merged, can experience the marvels of Holy Quran
more. For the believers, when the Ayaatof Quran are
recited to them their Imaan increases. The soul (ruh) starts
resonating with the words of the Holy Quran, which in
turn moves the spiritual heart (qalb)and that brings a shiver in
the human body through the physical heart (fuaad).
They say music is the food for the soul. The musical instruments
which come from the materials of the earth
are able to move the human body alone. No wonder you see the
people dancing on listening to the music. Even the
one whos not paying any real attention to it starts to tap his
feet. This feeling of resonance is something that gives
you an illusion ofsukun. The dancing body, the resonating body
feels that it is experiencing the sukun, whereas the
musical instruments only move the outer body. The inner body
still awaits its food. You keep on feeding the body,
and forget the soul. The soul does complain in the beginning.
The anxiety you experience after listening to the music,
when you are new to it, is because of the protest of the soul.
Later on you get immune to it. You put so much dirt on
your spiritual heart (qalb) that it forgets to resonate or
protest. The real food of the soul is divine music. Those who
dont even know the reality of the soul how can they devise a
melody that will shake it. We are given a very less
knowledge concerning the soul. Only the creator of the soul,
Allah, can give us the melody that will move it.
The true song is the one which is sung by the Ruh and heard by
the Ruh
The sukun experienced by the dancing soul is inimitable. Each
and every Ayah of the Holy Quran is truly a
sign. Its unique genre, its literary perfection, its brave
challenges and its accuracy are truly perfect miracles, but
perhaps the greatest miracle of all is its ability to bypass the
material world and reach the soul and tell it directly I
am nothing else except the word of God. When you want Allah to
talk to you, open up the Holy Quran and read it.
Beautify it with your voice, and make it the hub of your
thoughts. If at once you dont feel the resonating soul, dont
worry, the Holy Quran is doing its job. It has the remedy to all
problems. It is removing the dirt which is already
there. When the dirt is removed, you will experience the soul
resonating.

You have solved many mysteries of knowledge, and you are still
unable to reach the soul. You are still unable
to feel your connection with Allah. If you want to experience
the sweetness of faith, if you want to have super-
natural proofs for the truth of Islam, open up the Quran and
Recite! Recite the divine words. Feel that this ruh
(Quran) has been sent by Allah through the ruh (Angel Jibreel)
and is descending directly on your ruh (soul). A time
will come when with each word of the Holy Quran your Spiritual
heart (qalb) will resonate and your soul will dance
with the divine music and your human-self will get purified and
it will experience the unimaginable sukun.
