Who is truly yours in this world?
Sit
back and relax. Drink some cold water. Then clear your mind and think—who is
truly yours? I know that at first, you might say your parents’ names. No doubt,
they are the closest people to you in this world. But think about this: when
you succeed, they rejoice, their hearts swell with pride. But when you fail, do
they stand by you? No, they don’t. Instead, they criticize you.
So,
who is truly yours? Perhaps now, you might say your spouse or children. But
think again—will they stand by you in the most challenging moments of your
life? No.
Then,
who is truly yours? Who is even closer to you than yourself? Do you know who
that person is? It is the One who created you, the One who is your
Lord—Almighty Allah, the Lord of all worlds.
Think
about it: whether you succeed or fail, others may abandon you based on your
circumstances. But there is one who never leaves you, never forsakes you. He is
your Lord, Allah. Even if every door in the world closes to you, the door to
your Lord is never closed.
So,
isn’t it time to return to the Most Merciful?
