What if Your blessings come through raindrops, what if Your healing comes through tears, what if 1000 sleepless nights are what it takes to know You are near?

If there is anything—or anyone—other than God, that we could never give up, then we have a false attachment. Why was Prophet Ibrahim told to sacrifice his son? It was to free him. It was to free him from a false attachment. Once he was free, his object of love (not attachment) was given back to him.

A lot of people have trouble balancing the love of the Creator and the love of the creation. It is something I myself have struggled with much of my life. On the one extreme, there are people who love the creation as they should only love the Creator. On the other extreme, there are those who reject the love of the creation all together. I think the correct balance is to understand it this way: We have only one Owner over our hearts. That Owner is God. But our hearts also yearn for companionship. The heart searches for its’ companion in the creation. And finding that companion of our heart is one of God’s greatest gifts to us. It is the ‘coolness of the eyes’ that the Quran speaks about. The problem is when we confuse *Ownership* and *companionship*. We take the creation as Owners and take the Creator as only a companion. And God knows best.

Walk patiently through this troubled world and you’ll find a great treasure

Never think you can choose better for yourself than He can.

Truth is, one spark in your mind, a thought, is enough to turn your life around. Look inside of you and find yourself. Don’t imitate success, lay the foundations and create your own.
