Is your house for you? OR Are you for your house? Is your business for you? OR Are you for your business? Is your career for you? OR Are you for your career? Is this world for you? OR Are you for this world? These questions will keep going on. The point is to analyse our lives.  Is the thing that is gifted to us, consuming us completely?  Are we revolving around that particular thing? Is that thing the center point of our lives? Allah Says: هو الذي خلق لكم ما في الارض جميعا "It is He who created everything on earth for you.. " (Surah Baqarah:29) Focus on "for you" Everything on this Earth is Created by Allah for you. You are not for the things that are created. Use them, take advantage of them but remember you are not from them. Then who you are for?  For the One Who created everything!!! !!!جہاں ہے تیرے لیے، تو ہے رب کے لیے _mariahamid

Since Akhirah is continuous and permanent, the word Raheem is used for it as it also indicates continuity and permanence.  Isn't it AMAZING? _MariaHamid
