سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! What a status my Masterصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  possesses! Look at Allah Almighty's love for His Beloved: the earth, heavens, moon, stars, sun, galaxies, the atmosphere, humans, jinn, and angels—Allah Almighty created everything for His Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This is the perfection of Allah Almighty's love. Now, how did our Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم respond? Listen! "اَللّٰہُمَّ اَنْتَ وَ مَا اَنَا" — "O Allah! It is only You; I am nothing. وَ مَا سِوٰی ذٰالِکَ تَرَکْتُ لِاَجَلِکَ   And whatever else exists, I have left it for Your sake."^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! Such is the greatness of my Master’s servitude and the perfection of his devotion! The Belovedصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  sacrificed everything for the pleasure of his Lord. Then there are we:

1. We cannot even part with a few coins

2. We fail to close our shops for ten minutes at the time of prayer

3. We use our jobs as an excuse to miss prayers

4. We cannot sacrifice our sleep for the sake of Allah Almighty's pleasure, nor do we dedicate time for virtuous deeds

5. While Allah Almighty has declared war against those who deal in usury (ribā), many fall into the trap of interest out of greed

6. We do not abandon sins, nor do we stop the misuse of mobile phones and social media out of the fear of Allah Almighty’s disobedience

7. Our worldly dreams are immense—we chase cars, mansions, bank balances, and high positions—leaving no time for righteous actions.

If only we could become true servants of Allah Almighty! If only our life's purpose became the performance of deeds that please Him. If only we were blessed with the true taste of servitude.
