Thol

Today, stop yourself from chasing money for wealth, fame for respect and people for love. What you chase is temporary and will certainly leave you or disappoint you one day. The true source of wealth, respect and love is Allah. So chase Allah, al-Khaliq (the Creator), al-Wahhab (the Giver of all), al-Waddud (the source of love). Live your day running only after Him and doing things only to please Him; be it by praying your 5 prayers, providing for your family, making your friends smile, appreciating Allah’s gifts, giving to charity or speaking good words. ‘A man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: “O Messenger of God, direct me to an act, which if I do, God will love me and people will love me.” He said: “Detach yourself from the world, and God will love you. Detach yourself from what is with the people, and the people will love you” - Ibn Majah. - Book; Happiness Every Day by Safiya Hussain -
