Every day I yearn for nothing but to be close to my lord, and I know I can’t for my heart truly isn’t pure.
I have too many disease; hate, envy, pride among the many others, The hardest battle on the face of the earth Is not overcoming shaytan but overcoming your naf.
Umar(ra) said that our nafs are stronger that 70 shaytans. And the greatest accomplishment in my eyes is to over come the naf or ego to be close to my lord.
Why should be hate a being that we have absolutely no control over, a being that was created Allah(swt) do we hate the fact that we can’t control them or their actions?.
Why do we get angry over things we have no control over, isn’t it a waste of energy to be angry about something that is totally out of our hands something that only Allah controls?
Why do we feel pride; do we really deserve the things we have? Do we deserve our sight? Does a blind person deserve losing his/her sight? Of course not, its something that Allah destined for them but shouldn’t we also be greatful to Allah for giving us our sight? The ability to see the true beauty of his creation, his splendor.
How many of us are truly thankful for the beauty that surrounds us; if we are thankful why do we disrespect the earth so much? Shouldn’t we take care it and only use it for the purpose worshiping the creator, understanding the creator and seeing the beauty of his creation?
