Don't Cheat Yourself

بسم الله الارحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

At what point do you stop trying and leave everything to Allah? There is no easy answer. But one thing you must do is that you take whatever humanly possible to get there. You are diligent. You dedicate yourself. Remember, things don't go on your timetable. Changes are inevitable. Remain focus. You don't give up easily. You are cheating yourself if you would go to all cost to get what you desire of this world but not of the next world. Everyone wants to be in the highest Paradise--we make du'a and make du'a for each other for this--but what have we done to get there? Some of us haven't even gotten up for night prayers on a regular basis and some still have a hard time getting up to pray Fajr on time. If you are one of them--ask yourself this--is there anything more important than Allah, Lord of the Worlds? If the answer is no, then you will start adjusting your life accordingly.

May Allah give us tawfiq. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
