﷽
Worshipping Allah ﷻ Alone
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ
“And I did not create Man and Jinn except to worship me.”
[51:56]
_
Allah ﷻ created the creatures so that they worship Him Alone without partners. Those who obey Him will be rewarded with the best rewards, while those who disobey Him will receive the worst punishment from Him.
_
In a Hadith Qudsi,
Muhammad ﷺ said “Allah ﷻ said:
“O son of Adam, busy yourself with my worship and I will fill your heart with riches and alleviate your poverty. If you do not do so, I will fill your hands with problems and never alleviate your poverty.”
[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2466, Grade: Sahih]
_
Allah ﷻ also says:
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
‘Say: “Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the all that exists”
[6:162]
_
This is your life’s purpose!
Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you live in this Dunya for anything else.
_
Three lessons to take from this.
- We should not prioritise others over Allah ﷻ as this detracts us from our purpose when we serve others over Allah ﷻ.
_
The haram lover you meet disobeying Allah ﷻ, while acknowledging He is watching.
How much greater is the Sin then?
That we knowingly prioritise the Haram lover over Allah ﷻ?
_ - We should not put our desires over Allah ﷻ in this same regard.
_ - Lastly, we should fix our intentions with regards to our Worship, and not make the intention to please the people, rather only to please Allah ﷻ, and if the people are pleased and Allah ﷻ is displeased, then the action is like dust. سبحان الله
There are some who go out in the morning to earn Rizq!
They do not pray Fajr Salah, they forgot that Allah ﷻ is Al Raaziq!
_
There are those who know the the Ayah forbidding Zina!
Yet they meet with their love and walk around happily.
They forgot that Allaah ﷻ was Al Baseer!
_
There are those who do acts of worship for the approval of people and Adoration of the people.
They forgot Allah ﷻ, And they think they are on Haqq in their actions!
_
May Allah ﷻ protect us and forgive our shortcomings.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
