Reflection
" Just as Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is all-acquainted, we must ask ourselves if we are aware of what goes in ourselves. ), these are all the raw ingredients we're processing through this factory. If all you put in is trash, it'd be hard to expect that we'd be manufacturing luxury goods or treasures. What we put into this factory is likely what we'll get out.
Focus on the wrong thing, and you'll get the wrong result. So, this calls for a level of radical honesty to unearth some truth and awareness about oneself; otherwise, what lies underneath remains hidden. What is it that motivates you? Are you too preoccupied with worldly pursuits? ), but would the world around you say the same?

All this happens without our conscious knowledge, and so in a sense, we can be easily deluded. " We have to prove to others and to ourselves whether we qualify to be worthy of being called by a certain title or name.
