FIX UP

Asalamualaykum Warahmatullah,

Its strange.

Its strange to see those close to you go through hard times.

Its strange when you are going through a tough time that when you compare it to others, your problem seems so good that you become grateful.

Sometimes it is so hard to see the reality of a situation. Especially if you have convinced yourself otherwise.

Its hard to see things on a large scale, to see how wrong or right they really are.

We always give ourselves excuses. We always say 'it could be worse'. But could it really?

Wouldn't it make sense that when we know we are doing something wrong we should change. It should mean so much to us that we never repeat our mistake.

Something minor in your eyes is not minor on the day of judgement. 

Our actions can be the difference between jannah or jahanam. Why cant we see that?

Why is that not big enough in our eyes!

People throw around the words 'spiritually lost' like its nothing.

It is NOT nothing. 

When you experience being spiritually lost, you will know it. You will understand it. And it will no longer be minor. 

When you are spiritually lost you will not repeat what you have done wrong. Not for a very long while. You will feel it! 

People always want to appear good in the eyes of others. 

But why is our aim not to appear good in Allah's eyes?

Its so easy to see the wrongness of others and not say anything.

Its so hard to see your own mistakes on a large scale.

How are we supposed to become better?

People always say 'oh what I did is minor in comparison to..."

But just because you didnt do something on such a large scale, doesnt mean that something 'minor' like modesty or intention should be brushed to the side. 

At the end of the day, things that are minor build up to be majors. 

We need to stop disregarding our own actions and learn to fix them.
