James123ParticipantTo begin the day with “O Allah, everything and anything belongs to You” brings an unbelievable relaxation. Ownership is the heaviest burden a human can carry. When the first breath of morning is given back to Allah, the whole being rests.
The body relaxes, for it no longer carries the illusion of control.
The mind quiets, for it no longer needs to plan out of fear.
The heart softens, for it trusts fully that nothing is mine, everything flows through Allah.
This is why the relief is so deep, because the “I” that used to claim life is gone. Life belongs to Allah, always has, always will.
And here lies a crucial truth: do not claim to be God.
Why? Because the very act of claiming is ego.
God does not “claim.” God simply is.
The moment the mind says, “I am God,” it creates separation, a subtle ego, a self trying to take ownership of the Absolute.
In truth, what you are is already inseparable from Allah. But this is not a concept to grasp, nor an identity to wear. It is the natural state revealed when surrender is complete.
So the prayer is not to become God, nor to claim divinity. The prayer is to surrender all claims, all ownership, until only Allah remains. Then you realize, without words, without identity that you were never separate.
That is why the most direct path is to hand over everything, each morning, each breath:
“O Allah, everything and anything belongs to You.”
From that moment, the day unfolds in freedom, without burden, without chatter, without ego. Presence deepens, and love becomes inevitable.
With Love,

anitaParticipantDear James123:
Thank you for sharing this. “Oh Allah, everything and anything belongs to You”- everything belongs to him so to dissolve everything, eventually?
Not to get involved for the purpose of justice/ solutions, if I understand correctly?

anitaParticipantOh, okay- that makes a lot of sense, James! Actually, this morning I did my best negotiating conflict on another thread ..with love and compassion. I will give the outcome, if any, to God. Your message is timed perfectly, for me.
Thank you!!!

Calm MoonParticipantAs salamu alaykum, James!
This is beautifully written. I have experienced this state for the very long time when I lost my fmaily member. I felt truly, deeply inside me that everything and everyone belongs to Allah SWT. My ego was crushed, I was crushed. But surprisingly I felt like burden was taken out of my shoulders. I felt a relief for the first time in my life. I did not need to control anything because nithing is mine. I am just a human and everything belongs to Allah. But is it possible to stay in this state forever? I certainly did not. Sometimes I come back to it and it is great.

James123ParticipantSelamın Aleyküm Calm,
Even body belongs to Allah, and the mouth that says i am just a human that belongs to Allah too.
Yes it is possible. Yet, not with you. Ego is the climber of states. Yet, what We really are is rich beyond measure.
Complete freedom.
Can you imagine non of outcomes is within your control and controlling is illusion, imagine the relief.
