Salah is the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment, and yet it is the last thing that is on our mind.

Loss; is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.

Our first and true home was Paradise: a land that is both perfect and eternal. So the yearning for that type of life is a part of our being. The problem is that we try to find that here. And so we create ageless creams and cosmetic surgery in a desperate attempt to hold on-in an attempt to mold this world into what it is not, and will never be.

Sometimes this world comes between us and what we love. But if we are patient, when this world passes away, there will be no more separation.
