Many People thought that to "think deeply", someone needs to hold their head with both hands, and sit alone in a quiet room, and away from the crowd. Indeed, they have a hunch that "think deeply" as something burdensome and distressing. They are concluded that this job is just for "philosophers".
In fact, God requires that people to think deeply or brood. He said:
"This is a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessings, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect" (QS. 38: 29).
Which emphasized here is that every person should try to outright vengeance in improving the skills and depth of thinking.
Conversely, those who did not want to try to think in depth will continue to live in a big negligence. The word negligence means
"passivity (but not forget), left, in confusion, do not bother, in carelessness." Failing that human thinking is not due to forget or deliberately do not hedge their goal the creation of self-righteousness and religious teachings. This is a way of life which is very dangerous that someone can bring to the Fire. With regard to this, Allah warns people not to include in the people that neglect:
"And do thou (O Muhammad) remember thy, Lord within thyself humbly and with awe, below thy breath, at morn and evening, and be thou not of the neglectful." (QS. 7: 205)
"And warn them of the day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness. And in they believe not." (QS. 19: 39)
In Al-Qur'an, Allah says about those who are thinking consciously, and then think in the end, to the truth that makes them fear Allah. Instead, God also states that those who follow their predecessors in their blind without thinking, or simply follow the existing practice, is in error. When asked, the imitator would not think that will be said that they are the people who run religion and faith in God. But because they do not think, they just do worship and activities of life without the fear of God. Mentality in this group, as described in Al-Qur'an:
Say: Unto whom (belongeht) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge? "
They will say: "Unto Allah." Say: "Will ye not then remember?"
Say: "Who is the owner of the seven heavens and the owner of the Tremendous Throne?"
They will say: "Unto Allah (all that belongeth)." Say: "Will ye not then keep duty (unto Him)?"
Say: "in Whose hand is the dominion aver all things he protecteth, while against him there is no protection, if ye have knowledge?"
They will say: "Unto Allah (all belongeth)." Say: "How then are ye bewitched?"
"Nay, but we have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are liars." (QS. 23: 84-90)
Thinking can be freed someone from the shackle of a magic
In the above verse, Allah said to the man, "... from the road where you gullible (bewitched)? Bewitched words here have any meaning or mental disability of the human intellect as a whole. Intellect which is not used to think that means that the intellect was paralyzed, the vision became blurred, behave as someone who does not see the reality in front of the eyes, which is owned facilities to distinguish the true from the false to be weak. He was not able to understand a simple truth even its just little. He cannot be raised to understand the extraordinary events that occurred in the surrounding areas. He was not able to see parts of the complex of events. What is the causes of people drowned in the overall life of neglect during which thousands of years and dissociate themselves from thinking so that seems to have become a tradition is preposterous this paralysis.
The influence of magic that have collectively meaning can be illustrated as follows:
Under the surface of the earth, there is a boiling layer, called magma, but actually, the earth crust is very thin. The Thick of earth layer crust than the entire earth is as thick skin of apples compared to apple it itself. This means is the magma that coal is so close to us, under our foot!
Everyone knows that under the surface of the earth there is a layer with a very hot boiling temperature, but people do not really thinking of it. This is because parents, relatives, colleagues, friends, neighbors, author articles in the newspapers they read, the event-producer of TV shows and their professors at the university also does not really thinking of it.
Allow us to invite you to think briefly about this problem. Assume someone who has lost memories try to remember each person in the surrounding areas by asking everyone. Firstly, he asks where he is now. What will appear in his mind when notified that the place he stood, there is boiling balls of fire that can jump and shoot out from the earth surface at the time when the earthquake occurred or the great mountain explode? Let's talk more about it and that men have been told about the earth where he stood is just a small planet that float in the very large space, dark and empty called space. This space has the potential danger and more danger than material in the earth, for example: a lot of tons weight meteors moving freely with the inside. And might be these meteors are moving towards the earth and then hit the earth.
It is impossible for this person is not able to think even just a little while he is in place that full of dangers and threaten his soul any time. He will also think how people can live in a planet which is always located at the end of the horn, very fragile and dangerous for his soul. He then realized that this only occurred because of a system that perfectly flawless iota. In spite of the earth, where he lived, has a danger of jumbo, but on balance there is a system that is capable of very accurate in order to prevent the danger does not befall mankind. Someone who realizes this, understand that the earth and all beings on it can perpetuate the life of the survivors only with the will of God, caused by the existence of a perfect balance of nature and without disabilities who created by Him.
The example above is just one among millions, or even trillion examples that should mused by human. Below is one example that might help in understanding how "neglect situation" can affect the thinking of people and crippling the ability understand.
Human knows that life in the world go and ended very quickly. Strangely, they still behave as though as they never leave this world. They do their works as the world would never death. Truly, this is a form of magic or mantra legacy, from generation to generation. This is such a magnitude so when there is someone talk about death, people immediately stop the topic for fear of losing the magic which for so long time shackle them and not dare to face the facts. People spend their entire lifetime to buy a good house, summer lodging, car, and then send their children to good schools, do not want to think that on a day they will die and will not be able to bring a car, home, or child along with them. As a result, rather than think something intrinsic to the life after death, they choose not to think about death.
However, sooner or later every man will meet one's fate. After that, believe it or not, each person will start a life everlasting. Is the eternal life spending in paradise or in hell, depending on the act of charity during the short lifetime in the world. Since this is a truth and will happen, then the only reasons why people behave as the death does not appear is the magic that has been close or shackle them. This is because they are not using their mind to think and muse.
Those who cannot free themselves from the magic by thinking, which resulted in their omission, will see the truth with the eyes of their own after they die, as God made us in Al-Qur'an:
"(And Unto the evil doer it is said): Thou waste in heedlessness of this. Now we have removed from thee thy covering and piercing is thy sight this day." (QS. 50: 22)
In the above verse, somebody sight becomes blurred due to someone does not want to think, but it will be sharp after he raised from the grave and account for all of deeds in the Hereafter.
For remember, someone may just let himself to be handcuffed by the magic. They thought, by doing this, they will be living with peaceful. Fortunately, It was very easy for someone to change the conditions and destroy mental disability, or understand, so that he can live in the awareness to know the reality. God has provided a way out people; people who think and think will be able to liberate themselves from the shackle of magic at the time they were still in the world. Next, he will understand the purpose and the true meaning of all the events. He will be able to understand the wisdom of God to create anything at any time.
Everybody can think whenever and wherever
Think not require the time, place or special conditions. One can think while walking in the road, when going to the office, driving cars, working in front of a computer, attend meetings with colleagues, or see the TV while eating lunch.
God has created trillion men for thousands of years; everything is different with each other. This is the real evidence about the Almighty of God.
Watching people who are rushing toward their each goal can bring a variety of thoughts in mind of someone. When you the first look, appear in their mind: Amount of human consists of individuals who typically and unique. Each individual has the world, desires, plans, ways of life, things that make them happy or sad, and their own feeling. Generally, every human was born, growth, and adults, get education, find employment, work, marry, have children, and send them to school and wedding, become old, a grandmother or grandfather, and eventually died. From this perspective, the way of all human life is not much different, not too important if they live in villages, in the city of Istanbul, or in big cities such as Mexico, there is no iota of difference. All the people at the time will dead, a hundred years later may not be one of those people who still live. Recognizing this fact, someone will think and ask themselves: "If we all will die one day, and whatever the cause the people behave as if they will never leave this world? Someone who will die rightly do charitable seriously for life after death, but why almost all people behave as though they live in the world will never end? "
The people whose thinking like this is called a person who think and reach meaningful conclusions from what he thinks.
Most people do not think about death and what happens afterwards. When suddenly asked, "What are you think about at this time?", It will be seen that they are thinking about everything that actually does not necessary, so that will not bring benefits for them. However, one can also "think" things "meaningful", "full of wisdom" and "important" at any time since they are return to sleep and up to bed, and take lessons or conclusions from what they are thinking.
In Al-Qur'an, Allah states that faithful man, think and ponder in depth in all events they have and take a useful lesson from what they're thinking.
"Lo! In the creation of the heaven and the earth and (in) the difference of night and day are tokens (of His Sovereignty) for men of understanding. Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the heaven and the earth, (and say): "Our Lord, Thou createdst not this in vain, Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom of fire." (QS. 3: 190-191).
The verse above states that the faithful man is a think full man, and then they are can see the marvelous things in the creation of God and glamorize His Mighty, Science, and Wisdom.
Thinking with all heart and soul and set themselves to God
For Contemplation, in order to produce a benefit and bring the correct conclusion, then someone must think positive. For example: if someone sees someone else with better physical than himself. He felt low because of the lack of physical if he compared himself with the people who appear shapelier. Or he feels jealous for these people. This thought does not want of God. If we are looking for Allah's bless, then we should take that the shapely form as the form of the perfect God's creation. By see the shapely and beauty of the other people as a beauty of God's creation will give us satisfaction. He prayed to God so that the beauty of people in the Hereafter. And for himself, he also asks to God to give him the intrinsic and eternal beauty in the Hereafter. Similar things are often experienced with a man who is being tested by God to show the thought patterns and behaviors that have God's bless or not.
The success in these tests, i.e., in the contemplation or thought process that will bring happiness in the Hereafter, is still determined by eager desire in taking lessons or warnings of what he mused. Therefore, it is emphasized here that someone should think outright while face his/her self to God. Allah said in Al-Qur'an:
"He it is who showeth you his portents, and sendenth down for you provision from the sky. None payeth heed save him who turneth (unto him) repentant." (QS. 40: 13).
