You need Allah!
Asalamu Alykum,
Allah (swt) says: وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ, And I have not created Jinns and Humans except to worship me. Our goal in this life should be set to gain the pleasure of Allah. We can attain this pleasure by getting close to him and following what he likes and hating what he dislikes. Our worship should be a 24/7 business not a part time one. The contract we signed to be “Muslims” was based on full commitment and sincerity to worship Allah (swt) as this is our goal and purpose in this life.
No matter what you do in this life, you will be questioned in the hereafter and it will even start as early as you arrive to your grave. Keep your relationship with Allah strong and worship him as he should be truly worshiped. Allah (swt) says: مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُونِ , No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. All we have to worry about is to constantly check our intentions and see whether they are set for Allah or the worldly desires. Allah does not need our money, food, and houses because إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ, For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever). As long as we keep our covenant with Allah, He will give us the power, the sustenance and insha’Allah keep us steadfast. This is indeed a reminder for myself before anyone else. even though we fall short in worshipping allah at times, remember if you come to him walking Allah will come to you running. So lets try to remind one another to do good and keep our duty to allah as reminding is very essential as Allah (swt) says: وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ, And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.
