What is it all about?
Before I begin, I should clarify what "it" is. I'm talking about Life. Why do I exist and what's my purpose here?
Asmaa had ayahs from Surah Qaf [31-34] on her blog. They simply reminded me that this life is just a transient in the grand scheme of things. At the end of the day we crave peace in our lives. I'm not talking about the peace of war and peace, but a sense of satisfaction with what you have. Simply put: achieving happiness
وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ
And paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far off.هَذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ
This is what you were promised, for everyone who turned to God in sincere repentance and kept His law.مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَن بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاء بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ
Who feared the Most Merciful in secret and brought a heart turned in devotion to Him.ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ
Enter paradise in peace, this is the day of eternity.----
That's what I want. To enter paradise in peace.
This means living life in a way that is pleasing to Allah. This can be summed up with ayah 4 of Surah Fatihah: "It is You alone who we worship and it is towards You that we turn for help"
