At a time I was never in existence but the world was and so were some other people before me. ThenI was conceived, I was birthed and I'm here at this moment. One day I'll cease to be here in this world and one day I'll be resurrected again.
I go to bed every night, not aware or I'm control of what happens when my eyes are closed in deep sleep. I have no idea what's going on around me either. When I wake up, it's not by my power or might either because there are days my alarm goes off and fails to wake me up because I am deep in sleep. There are days my eyes are opened , I'm up from bed before the alarm goes off and on some days I wake up to the sound of the alarm. All these are not in my control.
There was this particular day, I decided to take a short nap because I was tired. At a point I woke up, I was conscious, i could heard voices around me but I couldn't respond because someone greeted me. I wanted to get up but my body refused to move. I was so scared, I couldn't even open my mouth to express how I was feeling to anyone.
Alhamdulillah, few seconds later my eyes were closed again only to wake up after some minutes had passed, it was about time for Dhuhr prayer. I was able to get up this time, perform ablution and stand to observe solah.
That incidence reminds me that I'm not in control, I never was and never will be. Allah is . It was also a reminder that I go to sleep and wake up by His Grace and Mercies.
So no, I don't see Allah but Yes I believe in Him

Reminds me of when I was at a Halaqah and our teacher was telling us abt free will and he was like If any of you wanted to walk out of this room could you really do it with certainty? Something could happen that could prevent you from walking out of this room, Maybe you would pass away before you reached the door.
So he then concluded, when it comes to free will, its only really our intentions we truly have control over, and therefore he stressed the importance of having the right intentions
