Where are you now?

Tell me about the misfortune of not knowing where we are, and not asking ourselves where we are, why, when, and for what? We all know why we were created, but we did not ask ourselves: Where are we now? Are we stepping on the path of righteousness, security, and faith, or in other ways of amusement and disobedience? And you, O generous one, is your life full of singing, amusement, adornment, and clothing? And you also asked yourself the question, while you were on the road, were you sad for him or did you remain upright? Every day, Omar Al-Farouq, may he be pleased with him, hits his foot to remind himself where you are, and we still cry over the separation of so-and-so, and why she betrayed my love for her, and why he got married and forgot me, where are we? Where have we become? Think about this, O Generous One, before the time for thinking ends and we are without funds or provisions. From the book Life Skills by Ibrahim Al-Shamlan
