Keep Dunya in Your Hand
November 02, 2014 ♥ 3:53 PM │
As much as you can, keep dunya in your hand, not in your Heart.
That means when someone insults you, keep it out of your Heart so it doesn't make you bitter or defensive.
When someone praises you, also keep it out of your Heart, so it doesn't make you arrogant and self deluded.
When you face hardship and stress, don't absorb it in your Heart, so you don't become hopeless and overwhelmed. Instead keep it in your hands and realize that everything passes.
When you are given a gift by Allah, don't hold it in your Heart. Hold it in your hand so that you don't begin to love the gift more than the giver.
And so that when it is taken away you can truly respond with
"inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
"Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Allah we return.
