Don't ever let anyone make you feel that he has control over your life. You are the one who decides how much power you give to other people, and to what extent they can interfere in your life.Even God -All Mighty- just tells you the right way and strategy, gives you the freedom and choice, accepts your mistakes if you regret it, and only judges you at the end where He balances the good / bad deeds and actions.
So how come you pend your security in life on someone.Your security comes from within.
..... Your boss may secure you in business today, but business changes, and he may be the one who fires you tomorrow.
..... Your lover may give you emotional security today, and may be the one who dumps you tomorrow.
..... Your friends and connections may give you social security today, but may turn against you tomorrow.
So focus, and know that you are the one who chooses either being a slave for other people's choices, or freeing yourself and knowing that the only source of security is YOU.
You try your best at work, with the people you love, with friends, and enjoy the happy moments... If things aren't as before, don't feel weak or rejected, it may be a sign for "a need to change" ... not only the people, but the way you link your life with them as well.
For those believing in God: Take a "Neyyah", do your best, and thank God on whatever outcome, you are the winner in both cases. Know that only continuous relation that gives you complete security is your relation with God. It rewards you in both good and in bad, and sometimes even the bad turns out to be .. for better.
For those who don't believe in God: Don't sink in materialistic life, have a way out, do what you gotta do, but don't link your happiness or security on others coz it will be a fragile security. Focus on yourself and don't let others control you.
I love you Guys,
Mohaly

A nice short story:
ReplyDeleteA young man once asked an old wise man: "how do you know God exists ?"
the wise man: "when you receive a letter from someone far away, how do you recognize the writer?"
the young man: "by the hand writing!"
the wise man: "when you hear animals moving, how do you know if it was a sheep, a horse, or an ox"?
the young man :O [surprised at these questions]: "by its footprints!"
The old man invited him to come outside with him and showed him the sky - "Neither the things written up there, nor the desert down below, could have been made or written by the hand of man!"
Yes. that is Allah's Hand!
... Dears, tafakor is a very important 3ebada! plus, that is really a very sweet feeling; experiencing it.
:)
I have limited access in my trip, and I have just managed to open the blog, and I am Speechless :)

ReplyDeleteHi Rana,
ReplyDeleteI intentionally didn't mention parents here as it goes without saying that they are trustworthy and they give us security as long as they live. However, if you revise the post I exactly said:
"Know that only continuous relation that gives you complete security is your relation with God."
Parents die and leave you, and they cant give you complete security as well. If you kept your security pending on your parents, it may break by their death.
Begad ya Mohaly you are expressing my deepest thoughts with your words in this post! Allah yefta7 3aleek!!
ReplyDeleteI used to reassure myself, whenever I feel weak, left behind by someone, or just when I am at the extremes of my own soul (happy or unhappy), by the fact that times, people, places, situations, feelings etc. shall change at any moment of my existence BUT Allah (SWT) is the only constant TRUTH along my life! All the rest is variable- The inner peace and the absolute self confidence, righteous one, are reached by tightening and linking one's existence to Allah wa7daho la shareeka lah!
