Striving For Jannah
One thing I realized today is that I need to start living my life solely with the security of how Allah subhanaHu wata3ala describes the reality of this world - as opposed to what people and society view security of this world to be.
They tell me that if I have a job and a retirement plan then I’ll be secure for the rest of my time here. But Allah tells me if I don’t have taqwa of Him and establish my prayers, then I will never be secure with anything.
They tell me if I eat a good and healthy meal each day and excerise, then my health will be secure for the rest of my life. But Allah tells me if I don’t feed my soul just as I feed my body, then I will never acheive health.
Everything seems twisted. Everything. We’re securing our positions in this life, but we’re forgetting our positions in the Hereafter… people vie away from being losers in this life - but who will be the real loser? SubhanAllah!
They start living by society’s rules and terms of security - they’ve made it their religion, their deen to live by!
Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allah. None feels secure from the Plan of Allah except the people who are the losers. [Al-A’raaf (7): 99]
.
The thing is… even though some people have that mindset (feeling secure or attaining security with other than Allah) more than others, living and growing up in this society, its hard not to have even a little of it in our thoughts.
May Allah forgive us and take that mindset far away from our minds and hearts, we can only find security with You ya Allah - if you do not secure our position and have Mercy on us in this life and the next, who is it that will? None but You ya Allah. Forgive us indeed You Love to Forgive!
And when they regretted and saw that they had gone astray, they (repented and) said: “If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall certainly be of the losers.” [Al-A’raf (7): 149]
