According to God

— Scene 1 —

 

I entered the prayer room a bit late at work, actually I was the last one to join the "jama’a" . After prayer (or maybe during?) , I recognized that the imam was the janitor. I also noticed I was the highest rank in this room, if and only if this was a meeting room. But according to God, for this specific prayer I was the lowest rank.

 

I wondered where I stood generally… According to God that is.

 

— Scene 2 —

I thought I’d "pack’ since we’re going to Umra directly after breaking fast at my brother’s place. I grabbed a back pack, two towels and a belt. That’s it!

Here I am, going to the holiest place on earth; paying my creator’s house a visit and all I’m wearing are two towels.

 

I wondered what I was actually wearing… According to God that is.

 

— So ? —

We are generally curious to know how well are we doing, how successful we have become. A good indicator would be the clothes we wear, the cars we drive and the places we afford to go to.

 

I thought I knew the very satisfying answers.

 

But maybe the questions I asked are a bit incomplete… Three words were missing to be specific.

 

According to God… How well am I doing?

According to God… How good do I look?

 

Before I can answer, I need to understand what does God look at first.
