There are ways to know of God and there are ways to know God. What is known as ma’rifah (awareness, realization) must be achieved through self introspection.
Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord witnesses all things? (Qur’an 41:53)
The outer self is only the shadow. It is but a vestige of the inner light. That is the greatest sign from the Most High. The signs (ayaat) around us can initiate our reconnection to that spark of light, but for the proof (hujjat) of the Divine Presence, one must look inwardly.
“You think the shadow is the substance.” –Rumi
“Oh you who believe, remember Allah, remembering abundantly..” (Qur’an 33:41)
