Deception

Wants are inevitable and intricate parts of our lives, but we must not let them dominate our existence, it's pretty easy for us as humans to wallow in the depth of our needs in our day to day lives leading to us not seeing, talkless of appreciating what's in front of us or what we've achieved already

To live a beautiful and content life I think two things need to be separated our NEEDS -what our sustenance lays upon(housing, food, cloths etc) and WANTS -what we want to have or what we dream of having to make our lives better and in most cases; they aren't that big of a deal

These wants come in different forms and at different phases of our lives, as a young girl it's probably some fancy doll house that your friend recently got, even though you already have a decent one, or a particular perfume you love as a teenager or a luxurious car you want as an adult... All these are things we experience day to day but resist the urge to fall into the depth of it all because in the end we'll always be wanting more and more and more

As Muslims, we are encouraged to live an easy and fulfilling life, but we have to remember our purpose in the world and the backbone of our existence, which is to worship Allah(SWT), avoid material gains and keep it in mind that the inevitable truth will get to us one day, so we must be prepared!!!!

The Prophet(SAW) said: “Be in this world like a visitor or a passer", because in reality it's just a little passage, a test that'll determine how our hereafter will be and how we'll spend our eternity

 Allah said in multiple places that this world isn't worth the stress because it's just a deception so let's focus on what's worth the stress and this

World?, don't stress it

Allah said in:

Surah Al-Ankaboot, Verse 64:

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

And this life of the world is nothing but a sport and a play; and as for the next abode, that most surely is the life-- did they but know!
