Seek the life to come by means of what God has granted you,
but do not neglect your rightful share in this world.
Do good to others as God has done good to you.
Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for God does not love those who do this
#Quran 28:77
A man without money is a man without a voice. You could be the smartest man in the room, but if your pockets are empty, no one listens. Family and relatives are only nice when you have something to offer. Get up every day and work like hell. The world is very cruel to a poor man.
@baqirul_ulum You most continue, as you've envisaged a biz empire, it goes with what your namesake has both Biz and political empire... This name is the next big thing in town.
@baqirul_ulum Many families are broken, violent crimes, suicides, homicides, divorces, indebtedness, and many more. This calls for a collective effort; a call from the populace for Government to escalate the fight against Narcotics and illicit drugs + rehabilitation of dependent users.
@baqirul_ulum It's also an SOS situation for communities with surging cases as well as complications to the user and relatives/colleagues across various social, personal, occupational and other domains. People need the government to curb the drug supply chain; many dreams are dashed.

If you want to torture your nafs, and lose both this life and the next, then simply listen to your desires.
I find myself returning to the words of Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمة الله عليه) time and time again.
If you understood the weight of what he's saying here, you would shut the door on your desires and never look back.
Your entire life will change the moment you seize control and stop letting your nafs control you.
Read this, repeat it, and act upon it. May الله benefit us and you

"As for desire (Shahwah), its remedy lies in the soundness of knowledge and realization: that granting the soul its desires is the greatest cause of depriving the soul of them and being barred from them altogether. Conversely, guarding the soul against them is the greatest means of attaining them.
Thus, every time you open a door of desire for the soul, you are in fact striving toward its deprivation. And every time you close that door against it, you are in fact striving to deliver those desires to the soul in their most perfected and complete form."
Tafsir Ibn al-Qayyim (2:34)
Please study the Qur'ān. I beg you, don't just listen to the sweet voices or just read in Arabic. Study it in your preferred language and make sure to think over it.

There's so much abundance of knowledge, nuance and guidance in this deen that will never be exhausted. And the fun fact is that all of them are derived from the Qur'ān. All with basis and rulings. This is why scholars derive immense depths and benefits from verses you would randomly skim past on a windy Tuesday evening.
Please, read the Qur’ān. Please. May Allah grant you steadfastness upon haqq.
