I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

Earning a livelihood by following some profession is better than living on charity.
Let's try to become people of value.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked what type of earning was best, and he replied:

"A man’s work with his hands and every (lawful) business transaction."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:

"Wealth is not due to plenty of money, but wealth is the wealth of the self."

"Forsake worldly pleasures, Allah will like you, and forsake what others have, mankind will like you."

"It is better for any of you to carry a load of firewood on his own back than to beg from someone else."

Hi Madeleine 😊

Respect for your message!

I believe that God created our human lives for many reasons. Among them is the very important issue of loving ourselves as humans and loving being human. Loving the human experience. Loving having the ability to touch, to smell, to see, to hear, to make music, or drive a car fast (or slow, if that's your preference). To laugh, to enjoy earthly things.

The divine energies who interact with me daily, regularly remind me that an important part of our soul's growth here on earth is learning to embrace these things in love, and enjoy life.

By doing so, we put out a joyful vibration that is infectious and soon others are feeling joy.

As i said, I respect your message. I just believe a broader perspective which is, God wants us to experience the great joy of being human.

Peace and soft breezes to you, dear friend!
