Where?



We previously posted something about "Who and what". In a similar vein we will take a stab at "Where?"

I ask myself Where? Where have you have been to?Are you where you want to be? Why do you want to be where you want to be?

This could relate to you being proud of where you have been. But its important to know that where you have been to was only possible because of Allah. So really we should not look where we have been with pride or disdain but with thankfulness to the one who made it possible. If we want to get somewhere where we haven't been to ( this could be in the emotional, physical or spiritual realm-all for His sake) then we should take the means and ask Allah for help.

The question where can be asked in many different contexts. It can be asked in the context of time and place. It can relate to you and it can relate to others. For example you might not treat somebody well just because of where they are from. Where you are might also determine how good your actions are which is why good company is important. Knowingly and unknowingly we do get affected with where our feet are. I guess where we are also shows where our heart wants to be. Do you desire to be in masjid more than the local mall?

Where are you going? Its important to know one's goals in life. The infinite takes precedence over the finite. The goals should really be next worldly and not this worldly SO the real goal should be Jannah. The real goal should be the pleasure of Him: Allah.
