What Does Allah Wants From You?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Human beings are greedy and crazy about getting more and better. Allah says, they love money and wealth so much. 

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ‎﴿٢٠﴾‏

And you love wealth with immense love. (20)

[Quran, Al Fajr 89:20]

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ‎﴿٨﴾‏

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense. (8) [Quran, al Adhiyat 100]

When it comes to making money, people can get up early in the morning, rush to work, even willing to put themselves in danger. There is this sense of urgency to earn and acquire. 

But when it comes to something that has value on the Scale in the Day of Judgment, like prayers and Quran, these can wait. They find these are distractions to what they are doing right now, instead of what they are doing right now is a distraction to their prayers and Quran right now.  

You can't do this because your time is running out and you are running after things that are nothing but loss. Allah says,

وَٱلْعَصْرِ ‎﴿١﴾‏ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ‎﴿٢﴾‏ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ ‎﴿٣﴾‏

By time, (1) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (2) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (3) [Quran, Al Asr 103]

May Allah grant us righteous deeds and patience. Aameen
