When calamity hits us

In calamity, we turn to Allah. But once the storm passes — we return to disobeying Him. It is easy to act proud and independent when you walk the earth. When you know things are going ok, it is only a fitna. But when you know, the storm is coming and is going to eat you away, it is hard to disobey.

We are selfish, ignorant and blind. Deaf to be honest. Numerous times we are told, this is all temporary. This life is a dip in the ocean. An infinite number of times. But we find it easy to lie to our elders. Dodge the phone calls. Skip the meetings. Bias our decisions to our personal benefits. Waste our prized time. Indulge into corrupting our souls. Sit addicted and not worry. Try to numb and shut the windows to reality. We are stupid.

A wise person would never let his life be controlled by circumstances. He would never allow anyone to distance him from his creator. He would never betray Allah. A wise person would not let any logic drift him from his Creator. A wise person walks, talks and breaths success — in this world. On his death bed. And in the life after death.
