Abandoning your egos for the wants of this world

“If what you desire from this world is what should suffice you, a little should suffice you; but if you desire more than your sufficiency, the entire world will not suffice you. Control your egos by abandoning what the world contains, for you have entered it naked and naked you will leave it.”

– Imam al-Ghazali

Our desires are eclipsed by the wants of those who don`t

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have, for what you have is desired by many around the world who don't. (Khalid Yasin)

The only thing a sinner cares about ...

‘The sinner does not care about whether he angers his Lord or not, all he cares about is satisfying his lusts and desires.’— Imam Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah)

The desires of the heart - it is pure or for the dunya?

When the heart is pure, the body becomes pure. Now take a moment and listen to your heart, is your tongue desiring to say la illaha illallah (No God but Allah) or is it talking about the Dunya?
