Self-indulgence
A friend's status update on Facebook got me thinking today: "A nd it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. God knows but you do not know.” (Quran 2:216)" Life and its ups and downs… How many times we think the worst of all things that are destined to happen-happen to us? How brave we think we are to get through unscathed in our own trials and tribulations. How often we forgot that there are people out there so much worse off. People who can barely make their ends meet yet their faith in Allah is unwavering. How easy it is to attach oneself to other people and worldly fears. How being brave is not about simply getting through the hard times but also remembering Allah when the going is good. When things are really good… when laughter comes easily and love surrounds you…we have the audacity to think we had something to do with it...as though we somehow engineered it... Our highs and lows.
