Is my head in the clouds?

Are you thinking of the dunya or the akhira in your behavior and actions? The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), said in a hadith that purity is half of faith. I know myself that I am trying my best to be a good example, a gentle speaker, and a rational person. I wish that I could reach a state where my mind is always open to the big picture. Especially as a compulsive worrier/nit-picker, I frequently let small things bother me. Now in a positive light, paying attention to detail can be a capability/strength that is very valuable. It's the power that you give that ability. Do you use your powers for good or for evil? Do you use the fitrah that you have been endowed with to practice your life in a halal way or otherwise? subhan'Allah, I respect the path. I respect the journey. Because the dunya is a hard place. What matters is today and what you're doing with it. Just being silent and aware of the state your body is in will tell you alot about what state your heart and mind are in...Just breathe in and out, and feel the muscles,lungs, and brain that Allah SWT created us with. Sense their movements and rhythms. Subhan'Allah even if you cannot put this feeling into words, it is a conscious awareness that we are created by Allah SWT and we are living at this point in time not from our own power but from Allah SWT's Qadr. Subhan'Allah, just a thought.

Allah SWT knows best

Salaam Alaikum
