As my teacher once told me, “If you’re not going to be a slave to Allah, you’ll be a slave to something or somebody else”. That’s human nature. We’re created as slaves, and thus we have a choice: Either we willingly submit and become slaves to the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our only true Master, OR we become (willingly or unwillingly) slaves to our money, our jobs, our families, our ego, etc. Which one would you rather be? Slave to the Most Merciful? Or slave to anything else?
