EIGHT Things to Learn

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.
May Allah SWT cure all those who are ill and solve all the problems of those who are suffering Aameen Summa Aameen! Guys I am back, honestly I can't stay away from this book and you all. I am back with another chapter which according to me is one of the best chapters I have written. I learn so much from this chapter personally and won't ever forget these words and will definitely follow it in my life In shaa Allah!

A scholar asked one of his students, "What have you learnt?"
He said, I have learnt eight things:

First: Everyone has a loved one. When he goes to the grave, he leaves his loved one. Therefore, I made my loved one my good deeds; that way, they will be with me in the grave.

Second: I pondered over the verse, "But as for him who feared standing before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust," therefore, I struggled against my desires so that I could always obey Allah (S.W.T).

Third: I saw that if anyone has something with him that is worth something, he will protect it. Then I thought about that verse, "That which you have is wasted away; and that which is with Allah remains," therefore, everything worth something with me I devoted to Him (Allah) so it would be with Him for me.

Fourth: I saw people seeking wealth, honour and position and it was not worth anything to me. Then I thought about Allah's words, "Lo, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most AWARE of Allah," so I did my best to become aware of Allah in order to gain nobility in His sight.

Fifth: I saw people being jealous of each other and I looked at the verse, "We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world," so I left jealousy.

Sixth: I saw people having enmity and I thought about the verse, "Lo the devil is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy," so I left enmity with people and I took Shaytan as my only enemy.

Seventh: I saw them debasing themselves in search of sustenance and I thought about the verse, "And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof depends on Allah," so I kept myself busy with my responsibilities towards Allah and I left my property with Him.

Eighth: I found them relying on their business, buildings and health and I thought about the verse, "And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him," therefore, I put my trust only on Allah.
