Flee to Allah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

The speed you do things on this earth is determined by your goals. If the goal is casual, then the stroll is casual. When you have an ultimate goal, you run towards it like nobody's business. 

When it comes to enjoying the earth, you stroll.  When it comes to a more purposeful goal, the pursuit of rizq and explore work opportunities, you walk. 

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ‎﴿١٥﴾‏

It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection. [Quran, Al Mulk 67:15] 

When it comes to remembering Allah, going to Jumu'ah, which is good for your Deen and your dunya, then rush. Don't just stroll or walk, but make some effort to do it.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ‎﴿٩﴾‏

O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. [Quran, Al Jumu'a 62:9]

When it comes to forgiveness of Allah, race to it. Race against each other to get forgiveness from Allah. 

وَسَارِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ  

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord .. [Quran, AleImran 3:133]

سَابِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ

Race toward forgiveness from your Lord ... [Quran, Al Hadid 57:21]  

When you are faced with difficulties, run to Allah for help. Run desperately like nobody's business to Allah. Run to Allah to find solace. Run to Him for indeed all things come from and return to Him in His sublime perfection.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ‎﴿٥٠﴾‏
 
So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner. [Quran, Adh-Dhariyat 51:50] 
 
May Allah forgive all our sins and grant us an excellent ending. Aameen.
