Necessities & Priorities


We should never stop working towards our goal of doing better in life, we should take from this life only what we need. Our needs and wants are not necessarily the same.

In reality, we need little to live a decent life. It is only our greed that drives us to always strive for more.

We also need to do our best to remain positive about the results of our efforts, regardless of the outcome. This of course, requires great patience on our part. We do not want to be of those who are grateful to Allah only when we get what we want.

One way to avoid developing this type of attitude is to be very careful about what we desire in life.

There are many things we would like in life, but desiring them does not necessarily mean that they are good.

*{There are among men some who serve God, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are happy; but if a difficulty comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter: that is loss for all to see!}* (Al-Hajj 22: 11)

It is very possible that we like some things that are not good and dislike things that are beneficial.

Do the priorities we have coincide with Allah's priorities? Do we love what Allah loves and hate what Allah hates?
