| [color=black] Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, without purpose? -- the Qur'an, suratul qiyama [/color] [color=darkgreen] The One Thing You Must Do There is one thing in this world that you must never forget to do. If you forget everything else and not this, there's nothing to worry about, but if you remember everything else and forget this, then you will have done nothing with your life. It's as if a king has sent you to some country to do a task, and you perform a hundred other services, but not the one he has sent you to do. So human beings come to this world to do particular work. That work is the purpose, and each is specific to the person. If you don't do it, it's as though a priceless Indian sword were used to slice rotten meat. It's a golden bowl used to cook turnips, when one filing from the bowl could buy a hundred suitable pots. It's like a knife of the finest tempering nailed into a wall to hang things upon. You say, "But look, I'm using the dagger. It's not lying idle." Do you hear how ludicrous that sounds? For a penny an iron nail could be bought to serve that. You say, "But I spend my energies on lofty enterprises. I study jurisprudence and philosophy and logic and astronomy and medicine and all the rest." But consider why you do those things. They are all branches of yourself. Remember the deep root of your being. Remember the presence of your Lord. Give yourself to the One who already knows your breath and your moments. If you don't, you will be like the man who takes a precious dagger and hammers it into his kitchen wall for a peg to hold his dipper gourd. You'll be wasting valuable keenness and forgetting your dignity and purpose. [/color] |

| [slm] SubhanAllah, that is deep. Really makes you want to strengthen your Iman and do everything to tie your heart to Allah (SWT) and be closer to Him through our actions. May Allah (SWT) help us all in controlling our nafs and guide us so that our hearts are with Him and worship Him constantly. Ameen. [wlm] Betul |
