For a person who has no faith, it may be the hardest thing to understand what it is, but at the same time, a person who is blessed with it may find it the most natural thing and in fact a vital componant of his fabric.
What is the active factor in a bird's mind when he flaps his wings and takes off from a cliff? How does he know that he will soar upward into the depths of the sky, and not drop to his death on the rocks below? It is his faith that helps him take his chances with his life.
Faith gives you power over the odds in life. It brings clarity of mind and ideas. When you have faith, you can take on challenges and overcome the fear of failure. Wishes that are supported by a strong faith are always easier to achieve. Having faith is like a child holding the hand of his parent when crossing a street. He knows that his parent will see him safely to the other side and not let harm come his way. When we place our faith in God, we know that He will watch over us and guide us on the right way.
Faith is strength. Faith is vision, for it lends us the ability to see the possibilities of life ahead.
A life without Faith is like a body without soul; and what is a body without soul but a mere skeleton; an empty cage without a song bird.
A person without faith is like a traveller without a compass; a student without a teacher. Having faith adds pleasure and satisfaction to our every endeavour in life. It gives us hope and a destination to walk towards. A faithless person believes that there is no life after death. To him, life on this planet is all God has to offer us. It is not hard to imagine how insipid and limited such a person's existence must be. How sad and pitiful for such a being to think that the experiences of his life here, just a few years if viewed in the scheme of things, is all that he was created for. That when he adheres to his base qualities, there will be no accountability for his misdeeds and no punishment for him. And if on the other hand he conducts himself on a path of righteousness and lives in fear of God, there will be no reward for his hardships and sacrifice. If we believe in God's blessing and mercy, we must also believe that He will judge and we will face the consequences which are drafted by our life in this world.
True that we see many things around us which do not make any sense to us. But we must not forget that man is born with limited capabilities. Our power to see and understand is in no way sufficient for us to decipher the codes and mysteries of Creation. We must acknowledge our humble existence and embrace the truth. Faith is that certain things must be left alone with the acceptance that everything makes sense to the Creator and He does nothing without purpose.
Faith is always accompanied with peace and harmony, joy and hope. It gives meaningful purpose to life. It lends beauty and a certain grandeur to our existence. It provides embellishment to humanity and brings it closer to Divine reality. Those who live without faith, might just as well have been sheep or cattle with no direction and no purpose; born only to feed their bodies and starve their souls.
