A. With the Supreme Being

First human associations with the Supreme Being are to be ralised in actual life n not merely to be perceived in a wold of contemplation. The associations should be as realistic as those with our parents in general. He gives me to eat n gives me to drink n when am sick, then He restores me to health and whoever turns away from His remembrance, his shall surely be a straitend life. This is a deep psychological hint to all thinkers, regarding the present paradox dissatisfaction n dejection prevailing in the very midst of riches n prosperity in the modern world. The solution too is provided in the preceding quotation. We may also be attracted to Him through our inner perception, which is either a gift or an acquisition.

In brief, spiritual connections with the Supreme Being have to be realised both inside the self n in the world outside. The Supreme Being is a permanent companion and a sure help in emergency, if approached aright. But men often mistake His help for apparent causes. He is with you, wherever you may be, n ALLAH sees what you do.

There is a living relation of Love n liking between man and the Supreme Being for ALLAH loves those who turn much to Him. ALLAH loves those who are careful of their duty. "Say (O Muhammed): If you love ALLAH then follow me; ALLAH will love you n forgive you your faults; and ALLAH is forgiving n merciful". It would appear from this that Islam, despite its strict disciplin is really a religon of Love & Mercy. In brief, one should enquire n seek the company of those who are devoted to ALLAH. Beneficence is most helpful even in this life. There is no place for Mysticism in the teachings of Islam. The right word is "Sidq" or Qur-aanic Truth n the associates are called Siddiiqiin or Truthful.
