I found it something profound that whenever I get attached to anything Allah takes it away. It's like He's sending me an indirect message telling me “don't depend on worldly life, nothing lasts. Don't let these dependencies define you and define your inner state, whether it's happiness or sadness.” and this Ayah hit me كل من عليها فان ويبقي وجه ربك ذو الجلال والإكرام
We always depend on what's temporary, struggling to make this life jannah. When it's not, and will never be.
It suffocates us and goes against our nature that this life is imperfect, and that's why we have to seek what's perfect to fill that inner void. We've to seek Allah. Otherwise, we'll always keep breaking. Break after another, until we learn the attributes of this life and deal upon it.
Yasmin Mogahed used a brilliant metaphor about attachments, she said: 'like a glass vase that you place on the edge of a table, once broken, the pieces never quite fit again. However the problem wasn't the vase, or even that the vases kept breaking. The problem was that I kept putting them on the edge of tables.'
اللهم انزع حب الدنيا من قلوبنا ولا تجعلها أكبر همنا.
