صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً
[Al-baqarah:138]
This verse means that we should colour ourselves in HIS colour because its the best. When I read this verse it felt amazing, I dont know, I had read this before but it never struck me like it struck this time. Maybe its because this verse gives a new meaning to 'colour', and I love to play with colours. It was as if this was Allah's ultimate demand from us, the ultimate reason of life, the ultimate direction, The puropose of Islam i.e. that we colour our lives in His Colour. We make this our goal, our objective and reason to be and it ultimately becomes our strength. But its difficult to maintain His colour in the presence of so many tempting colours of the world! But we can pray & try for it! Though the colors of the world are tempting but their reality is nothing.
It is His colour that is explained in Quran and demonstrated in the life of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W.

Because of all these reasons I tried to draw this whole concept, bring it to paper, express it somehow. Though the result was not as good, since I am not an artist and have no expertise in caligraphy, but I think I expressed it atleast.

Last Ramzan while I was sending people messages at the start of Ramzan, I though hard and prayed that May the effect of Ramzan never wear off, May it last forever, May we move steps ahead towards Allah that are irreversable. For that we need to colour ourself in His Colour! Though its impossible to completely colour yourself but atleast we should start moving in the right direction. Its a wonderful jouney, journey worth spending all your efforts for! So now is the time to take steps towards Allah before the final irreversible step i.e. death! To attain His colour should be the greater focus of life towrds which other intentions should be directed, thats what I have concluded so far. But we should that its a journey, it about knowing how to keep moving in the toughest of times, but again direction is very important, the direction should be towards Allah.
This way is not easy, it demands sacrifice of wishes and desires it demands a complete fanaa.
