Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Sometimes we all need to step back. Take a look at the bigger picture. Face our reality head on. Sometimes we need to put things into perspective.
We're all guilty of it, now and again. Getting too engrossed in matters of this world, and forgetting our own impending reality.
And, then something happens that brings us all crashing back down to earth.
It could be the death of a loved one, a family friend, or just someone in the community.
But what it really is, is a reminder from your Creator. Reminding you of who you are and where you will end up. Reminding you to put things into perspective.
This world is important - but to a limit. Our families, jobs, education are important - but to a limit.
We need to make sure that these good things aren't getting in the way of our relationship with our Creator. Because if they are, then they're not good things anymore.
We need to remove all the negative people and influences from our lives and focus on that which is positive and blessed.
Look around at the mercy and bounty of Allah that He has blessed you with. The house in which you live, the gardens which will soon flourish in the coming spring, the beautiful land all around.
Sometimes we tend to get so bogged down with things, we forget to look at the blessings that are all around us. We become ungrateful to Allah, Who has blessed us in so many ways.
Keep me in your duas, please,
Wasalaam!
