respect

in the name of Allah the most Merciful the Most Gracious , i seek refuge in you from the evilness of my soul and evil deeds in deed those whom you have guided non can misguide and those whom uv left astray non can guide . all peace and blessings be upon you Muhammad final and beloved of all being .

we only earn respect from the other creatures if we learn to respect Allah first , when Allah subhana wattala becomes your first priority over everything else then thats the only time you will be able to earn respect from the rest of the creatures. often time we tend to focus so much on the human beings around us that we forget its Allah that we are answerable to , its Allah that we are accountable to .

lets ponder on the fact that our beloved Rasul attained so much respect in makkah even before islam because he chose to do the right things and when islam came Rasul chose Allah as the ultimate pleasure and even though he faced rejection from his own people they respected him, even abu jahl had respect for Rasul even with all the kibr that he had .

so we know that when we choose to seek Allah pleasure as the first thing it will cost us , when you choose Allah then sometimes ul have to displease human beings but thats the only time even the humans rejecting you will be able to respect you as your 1st action was to respect Allah . so when we want to obey we have to see obedience of Allah first , when it comes to pleasure we see Allah 1st when we choose love we choose the love of Allah 1st when we act we should act only to please Allah then only the rest . that is the only time we will earn respect , thats the only time we will be in worship because we tend to limit our obedience to normal stuff like swalah and hijab and lowering gaze well even decisions that we make concerning us or other people should get us closer to Allah .

lets remember when you seek anything see it first with Allah and make the decision if to Allah its fine the rest shouldn't matter because Allah will take care of everything else . develop an attitude of Allah 1st and then the rest and we will never fail . may Allah guide us to be among those whom priotize Him over everything else .
