ocean of dunia

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST MERCIFUL THE MOST GRACIOUS WE SEEK ASSISTANCE , HELP, GUIDANCE AND FORGIVENESS FROM YOU NONE HAS THE RIGHTS TO BE WORSHIPED BUT YOU MAY PEACE AND BLESSING BE UPON MUHAMMAD HIS MESSENGER AND SERVANT .

amazing is the ocean , the same wave we get to appreciate from the shoe would kill us if we enter the ocean , water sustains life but could also cause death in the ocean , the same ocean that up floats the ship would shatter the ship to pieces . this life dunia is like the ocean our hearts are like the ship . we can use the ocean for our needs and as means to get to our destination as long as the water remains outside the ship then the ship will float smoothly and be in control, what happends when the water sips in , what hapends when the dunia is no longer outside us , when the water takes control thats when the ship sinks . when the ocean water enters the ship that ship is no longer in control the boat then becomes at the mercy of the ocean and like the ocean water entering the boat , the moment that we allow the dunia to enter our hearts we also sink. the ocean water  was never intended to enter the boat it was intended as the means and must remain outside of it the dunia also was never intended to enter our hearts it is only a means and must not enter us or control us .

the dunia Allah speaks about it as nothing but matta its a deception it deceives when we look at it and yet can really destroy us if we fall into it . we live in this world forgetting the qualities the dunia holds, in order for us to live without sinking we should remember the qualities of the dunia . 1st its not permanent we were all born to die , 2nd quality the dunia by definition is imperfect Allah says the here after is better than this life . so once we know how weak the dunia is we would be able to live like strangers or travelers as the way our beloved taught us peace be upon him. the problem we do is we have allowed this impermanent place enter us , so much that we forget we have a destination to get ourselves to . if we are asked how comfortable we get when we are visiting a place for two days we will all say we dont get comfortable , we dont get attached nor do we buy stuff for the place if we can understand this why do we fail to treat dunia the same .

we can cross the ocean without sinking and we can keep the water outside our boat we can still be in control if we do the following . 1) always remember the nature of dunia 2) keep dunia outside your hearts 3) plan for Tomorrow akhera 4) be in constant remembrance of Allah 4) protect yourself from shaitan no police will help u with that its you to ask Allah for protection. 5) starve and guard your nafs dont give it everything it wants dont submit to ur desires . 6) be in constant tawbah 7) keep good company the religion of a person is with his friends 8) most of all BUILD A PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY , talk to Him every time keep track of the best timings and make use of them .

the dunia is nothing but deception we should remember that we came from jannah and we should take ourselves back to Jannah as that is the eternal bliss the world is a means and not the destination so take charge today and Allah will sure get you to Him safe .
