Suffocate
"Successful indeed are the believers,
Who are humble in their prayers,
And who keep aloof from what is vain,
And who are givers of poor-rate..." [al-muminoon, v:1-4]
Certainly, three concepts that I need to practice the most rather than preach.
I had started to fall within that false sense of security until a rude awakening really brought the shortcomings to light. A curse can come in deceitful forms and I certainly missed this one completely.
Fallen very behind in Quran recitations, this dunya was really starting to weigh down on me. Like a heavy rock placed on my chest, I was beginning to suffocate under the weight of vain actions.
I must return to a Book that has been neglected for far too long.....
"This is a Book, in which there is no doubt...." [al-baqaraah, v: 2]
