📘 O God! What is Your command?
God’s good servants strictly avoid allowing their own “will” and “self” to influence their being, behavior, thinking, and wishes. They say, “May this idol of ‘I’ die rather than me worship God because of this idol.” Because God would become second in such a case, and the idol “I” would be first. If you say, “I like to read the Qur’an now,” how valuable will this recitation be?! Let’s see! What has happened that you want to recite the Qur’an? Has the first idol allowed you to worship God?
This is why believers are worried and are not sure about themselves when they do a good deed. [[Nahj al-Balaghah, sermon 193] One of the reasons they are worried is because they think, “Perhaps I did this worship act since it was in accordance with my will.” Each of us has a Pharaoh within ourselves that is capable of saying, “I am your Lord, the most high.” [Qur’an, 79:24] We should be careful that our worship acts do not become like Pharaoh’s deeds. Say, “O God! What is Your command? Command me! Even put Your Heaven and Hell that is the result of our deeds in response to Your commands and prohibitions in front of me so that I will understand that I have no choice other than to carry out Your command.”

💭 Think about this before you marry
In a family, a man and a woman, with structural and important differences, are placed next to each other, which brings sweetness and bitterness. If you have not anticipated this, you will not have the ability to enjoy its sweetness, nor will you have the capacity to tolerate and deal properly with its bitterness.
