What is important

By
Every now and again, I get reminded of the why. Why I have handed my life over to God.

It is 3:08 p.m. and I have decided to write. Honestly, I feel like I could end this blog post right here. What more is there to say? God above all else.

God is our compass on this journey called life. Everything else can become a distraction. Maybe not everything, but certainly many things. You get the point.

What is important? What do we prioritise? What do we make time for?

The answers look different for everyone. Our lives are different. We are tested differently. We are all products of our circumstances, and those circumstances vary from person to person. Yet God is the common thread across humanity and throughout time. God always was and always will be.

One day, we will answer to God. We will give account to God.

We cannot live without food, water, and oxygen, but all of those things come from God. So how can we live without God?

How timely. I just received a notification from the Quranly app: Surah 29, verse 6 — a reminder that God does not need us, but we need God.

That reminder tied my reflection together beautifully. It felt like immediate confirmation, as though the thought had been echoed back to me in real time.

God is important. God is the priority.

God created us to submit to His will. He knows far more than we could ever know. Far more.

When we let go of the trivial and often meaningless things that consume us, we begin to see how beautiful life really is. How beautiful God’s creation is. How beautiful God is.

I recently read something that stayed with me:
"Beauty cleans the mind."

And if we want to see something truly beautiful, we can think of God. We can ask God to open our eyes to the beauty all around us.

What is important? It is important that we do not let go of God. When we let go of God, we let go of what is beautiful. We lose the beauty in our being. We lose our soul.

Bless us today

It is 515pm and I have decided to write. Today is the day before the holiday and it feels like a Friday. I did not feel like doing anything this afternoon. But I got up and made dinner. Then brush my teeth and bathe. A round of applause to all of us for being alive and making it through the day. There are many things we can applaud ourselves for. There are many things we can applaud others for. It is good to pat ourselves (and others) on the shoulders now and again. Life is not easy. No one has it easy. Comfort is an illusion. But God is real and so we pray. It is 214pm on the following Monday and I have decided to continue my writing. I have this thought. God is holding my hand and we are walking. Walking in empty space. I closed my eyes and selected a verse from the holy Quran. I landed on surah 94 verse 5 - so verily with hardship there is ease. No matter how and when we are tested we must remind ourselves of the goodness of God. God is not going to leave us stranded and empty hande...

How to measure success?

By
It is 509pm and I have decided to write. How to measure success? That is the question. It is very hard to measure success. I think only God has the true measure of success or failure. Someone may be a failure in this life but a success in the next life. We are told that God looks at intentions and effort. We can also determine our own definition of success. We do not have to let the world define success for us. We think of the world as not being a fair place so any one size fits all definitions of success or failure would be careless and wrong. Many times we think in terms of numbers. The grander the better. But what about quality over quantity? My friend tells me that I am essentially arguing for the democratization of success. I am taking the power away from society, institutions, and algorithms, and handing it back to the individual and God. That is true but I am essentially wanting to look at the bigger picture and to do that I am thinking that we have to answer some key questions ...
