﷽
Submitting Ourselves to Allah ﷻ
Allah says in the Qur’an
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
And I did not create Jinn and man except to worship Me
[51:56]
This is the purpose of our lives, we are here temporarily to worship Allah ﷻ and to prove ourselves as obedient slaves of Allah ﷻ so we may enter Jannah.
_
We must submit ourselves fully to Allah ﷻ and only then will we find Imaan and peace and tranquility.
As Allah ﷻ says
أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest
[13:28]
Heed and listen to what Allah ﷻ is telling you!
You will never find peace while chasing the rich and lavish lifestyle!
Wallahi Wealth will not buy you Jannah! Mansions will not protect you from Death!
How many rich and famous people do you see?
Their marriages break, their deaths are disgraceful, their reputations are destroyed by their actions.
Let alone the destruction of their Akhirah.
Is that happiness?
_
For us, the average person, our chasing the Dunya is like the person who bought a new phone.
He buys it and enjoys it for a year or so, then when the new phone comes out he rushes to buy it… Why?
Because that is the latest thing and that is the update for his happiness to be complete!
His Happiness is temporary and he is forever restless waiting anxiously for a new release!
_
But Allah ﷻ is telling you here, only with Allah ﷻ will you find peace and contentment.
Because when it really matters and you realise your happiness lies in Jannah and the Dunya was an illusion, you will say as Allah ﷻ mentions in the Qur’an
رَبَّنَآ أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَٱرْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَٰلِحًا
Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, therefore send us back and we will do good.
[32:12]
But then it will be too late and Allah ﷻ will refuse and you will be dragged into the Hellfire!
What a disgraceful ending!
_
Ya Ibn Adam! This is your warning from Allah ﷻ!
Strive to not be of these regretful and miserable souls!
May Allah ﷻ make us all righteous and of the Muttaqoon.
