Shazia R Anwar Principled Approach

Tuesday:
‘Wealth and children are adornment of this world’.
While It is okay to enjoy the blessings of adornment,
the real goal is to keep focus on purification of our heart and Amal Saleh.
- Kahf 18.28

- ⁠ like mentioned above, the adornment of the world cannot be taken as our goal. Some people feel a spiritual void, despite doing Namaz, fasting, Umrah Hajj .
- ⁠ the case is that their heart is filled with the ‘desire’ or deep love of dunya ( material and people ) and not actually the desire to purify themselves.

Wednesday :
Started reading the biography of prophet Muhammad (S).

Thursday:
Finished our discussion on envy, hate,contempt .
- Competition for material (wealth/ popularity/beauty ) is futile, and will never be fulfilled .
- ⁠We have been instructed to look at people below us and not above us.
- ⁠ we talk about slavery without chains, chasing material is amongst those.
- ⁠ focus on our goals and doing our best iA

🌺 “Sharing versus Spilling”
Q. Sometimes someone will complain that they poured their heart out to a friend and after that the friend distanced themselves.
- What happens when we share a drink with a friend?
- ⁠ what happens when we spill the drink on someone?
- ⁠ The difference in two reactions is very similar when we spill out our emotions and worries on people.they are unable to take the burden, they may be surprised, taken aback, annoyed, etc.
Spill to those who can help:
- Allah is able to take the burden of our spilling 100%
- ⁠amongst the humans usually parents or siblings or a wise person can guide you
