"What do you want?"
"Money, power, big house, pretty wife/handsome husband, high ranking job, wonderful and smart children and the list goes on and on."
"What do you want?"
"Money, power, big house, pretty wife/handsome husband, high ranking job, wonderful and smart children and the list goes on and on."
"Don't lie, what do you want?"
"Money, power, big house, pretty wife/handsome husband, high ranking job, wonderful and smart children and the list goes on and on."
Money, no matter how much you have, will never be enough and they will be finished...Look at Lehman brothers...
Power will also be lost. It is just temporary...
Big house does not always bring happiness and it can be destroyed in no time, by fire, earthquake, etc
Pretty wife, well her beauty does not last very long either...age will soon catch up...her loyalty too...
High ranking job...you will lose it as soon as you retire...nobody hold a post forever...
Children, they all will grow up and soon have their own lives to live and you will be left on your own...
Those are all physical happiness...they will not last long..
What we really want is spiritual happiness (kebahagian spiritual)...
What we really want is to receive Allah's approval (keredhoan Allah)...
When we have achieved this pinnacle of love, nothing else matters...
Go back to the basics...don't cheat yourself...we all love peace, happiness, truth, fairness, and all the good values...
All these values, whose are they?
They are Allah's...
When we all long for them, we really long for Allah...
When was the last time we say to Allah that we love Him?
When we pray, we just pray for physical things...health, long life, rezeki, good children...but we never pray so that Allah help us to love Him...
We just use Allah to get what we want - all the material things...
Know yourself, know Allah...and then only you will love Allah...
Love Allah..more than you love other things, your children, your wealth, your power and even yourself...
ALLAHUAKBAR! ALLAHUAKBAR! ALLAHUAKBAR!

Your words are truly beautiful and inspirational.
It's so easy to forget who we really are and where we all came from.
Thank you for your shared wisdom and for the kind words you left me on my blog.

We all need frequent reminder so that we do not go astray in our quest in this world.
Actually I have just come back from a very inspirational and mind-opening ESQ 165 training session.
It emphasized more on Spiritual quotient besides IQ and Emotional quotient (EQ)
