Everything that you give and whatever you take is only at His discretion.

Everything that you give and whatever you take is only at His discretion. Everything, in the end, is destined towards Him. You should therefore be careful in making transactions and seeking compensations in your prayers, lest all your efforts go in vain. Don't imagine for a moment that you have given money or taken money and strived hard for your goal.

📌This will be tantamount to thinking that you have given a certain thing that belongs to you and now you expect to get rewards or retribution in return! Remember! Man is just a creature of dust who exists for a fixed tenure in this world with the will and wish of Allah (S.w.T.). Don't value this temporary respite very much. .After a very long time of death when his grave would go asunder, he will know that he was a creature of the dust.

Those hands were very strong that crafted the doll out of dust, put life into it and gave it the faculty of speaking, hearing and seeing. Made it active and strong. And ultimately returned it back to its original state of dust. مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى From it (the earth) We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.

(Sura Ta Ha, 20:55) When you recite the Ziyarat Aashura or Ziyarat al-Jamia , you must be aware of the fact as to who gave you the tongue and made it subservient to you. When we consider the causes of our optional acts, you surprise has no end that who gave us the wisdom and thinking for performing these acts? Who gave us the reasons to exist, gave us the capability to act and removed the impediments from our way? First of all, there is no possibility of compensation for the acts.

We neither have wealth nor anything belongs to us for which we might expect compensation. We only have a will that too is dependent on His Wish! Then…….. How Much is the Return for Actions? If return for actions is necessary, then let us see how much is our right for returns? O persons who pray, fast, perform the Hajj ! If your actions are assessed, what should be the compensation in your view?

Or those who pray in the nights and proudly claim that they remain awake the whole night in prayer and tell that they are practicing Tahajjud ! Do they know what is the wage of a janitor who remains awake the whole night to guard the properties?
