The hardest part is probably to stop chasing for worldly goods in life. Probably we can never will. After we earn a decent living, we want more. We want more money coming in. We want a bigger roof above our head. We want to better car to move us around. After that, we want something else, and something else. On the emotional side, we want to get married. It feels incomplete living life alone. Once we have a spouse to share our life with, we want to have our own babies. It doesn’t feel complete without children around. Then, it doesn’t feel complete before we manage to raise them up properly. Even after the kids have grown up, we still want something else. Constantly, deep down, we want to feel loved and appreciated. We want people to understand us and accommodate us. We want to breathe love and compassion every day of our life until we die in a comfort of luxuries this life can offer. Human.. we have big dreams and never ending desire.
How good it can be if that desire is channeled to a permanent life. We all know this world is temporary. Yet, we keep wanting all the things this life has to offer, one after another. Why don’t we chase for Jannah, a permanent destiny we all should be aiming for. How much time do we spend every day chasing for it…? How much effort has we made trying to please our Creator? Why are we not focusing on our permanent destination… why are we so engrossed picking all the pretty flowers we see along the way? Human.. we are easily distracted.
We really need to keep reminding ourselves to keep focusing on our permanent destination. Let’s chase for what is really worth chasing..
