Desires or Nafs.

Assalamualaikum. Peace be upon y'all.
This is going to be a short post, a reminder to myself inshaallah. You know when you have that feeling, when you are badly craving for something. You really want it that you'll feel such a loser if you never get that thing. Well, it happens to me sometimes. That brand new clothes, shoes, smartphones argh man it just makes me desperate to own it. But then again, questions such 'If I die, that things, that 'precious' things, would it benefit me?' and 'If I die, who's gonna inherit my properties?' and 'What shall I bring to my life in the grave and the hereafter?'. It's moved me. I don't know for sure how to answer these questions. I'm clueless. But come to think of it, there's actually a logical response to this. I should hold my desires or nafs back, if I don't, I might swallow myself up. Yeah, I'm not being grateful for what I already have. Shame on me.

Cause life is not just a game, your nafs, your imaan, your aqidah, these things that actually show who you really are. You will die, maybe next year, maybe next month, or maybe it'll be tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the end of your life. And now you know that you're gonna die tomorrow, you have lesser time than you've expected. What are you going to do now? Making taubah, pray to God? Tell me, cause you're weak Sharifah. You are too weak, to hold all of your desires. You have been deceived by this worldly life. Ha-ha serve you right. God has given you time and all the things that you need, and what, is this the right moment to pray? How many days of your life have you wasted for Dunya? Nahh don't answer that. Cause that won't even help you now. What if your life will be ended right after this second? Mashaallah. Say alhamdulillah.
