Quote:Partners
The first supposed partner of Allah is our ego. If we feel that there are
better ways to be grateful or worship than the ways Allah and His Prophet
have shown us, we worship our egos. If we feel our daily work is more
important, as it provides us with the livelihood, than our salat (prayers),
we put our material greed before Allah.
as salam alykom AbuMubarak these pieces you're posting for new muslims are invaluable. Especially the above one i quoted, as i'm starting a new job soon and had some concerns. But they didn't last long, the above quote solidified my position. Everything is a test. I look forward to each post.
