Preparing for someone special!

Just for a moment sit back and relax! Ok now get your imagination caps on! Think of who to you the most important guest could be and they were going to visit your home... best friend, husband/wife after a long trip of not seeing him/her, inlaws, the queen lol, your favourite scholar who you look up to, your future wife/husband I dont know but someone very very important!
Imagine the preparation you would go through in order to make it as perfect as possible right! The cleaning, polishing, airing out the rooms, perhaps depending on your circumstances you may even actually go and buy a few new things like cups, home decorations etc. Now would you tell them to come over at a time when you knew that all the preparations had not been completed? No not at all you wouldnt as you would want everything to be perfect so you would call them when everything had been done.
The house is now sparkling, smelling so good, food is absolutely mouth watering, the best plates have been taken out the table is set looking too good to touch, you even have an amazing exotic desert everything is like its fit for royalty. What does this say how you feel for this person... you care alot about them, you love them! You would not go through all of this for someone you didnt love and didnt care for right?

Well just think a preparation greater than this took place for you, for me, for us all for mankind for our arrival and who was our host? We had the best host Allah (swt). Before placing mankind on earth Allah had prepared it in such perfection made it so beautiful, provided us with all the provisions we would need to survive and live comfortably. The greenery, the delicious foods, animals, the earth Allah prepared it for us. Did you know that water originates from stars? So even the substance that we can not live with out water has gone through such preparation... When a star explodes a reaction takes place creating the water so next time you have a drink of water take a good look as its actually billions of years old Allahu Akbar!
Now of course all this preparation is nothing for Allah it didnt tire him out, He didnt need rest after it, it did not diminish His limitless powers in any shape or form so the lessen we take from this is that Allah loves us, Allah loves mankind, before placing us on earth He made sure we had our needs. We should be so greatful to Him just as we would be greatful to anyone who invites us to their homes we even take a box of chocolates or flowers when invited somewhere to show our appreciation for them inviting us but what about Allah? Allah doesnt need offerings from us such as chocolates or flowers but we should always verbally praise Him, thank Him, turn to Him alone, make sujood (prostration) to Him and you know what is so great is that by doing all these acts of thanking Allah it doesnt benefit Him in anyway in fact in only benefits us as it increases Allahs love and blessings for us Allahu Akbar! And just as (well I hope so anyways) just as we would not abuse the home of someone who had invited us to their house we should not abuse this earth which Allah has blessed us with. We should respect it, respect each other take care of each other and the earth by planting trees, recycling, not wasting, not littering and so many more ways. So all of you who have read this take a moment to think and contemplate and thank Allah (God) for all you have for blessing you for loving you and prostrate to Him as He is the only one deserving of it!
