There are some things that we don't care about when we have them, and when we lose them, we will wake up like a dream and regret it. In life, we tend to become so accustomed to the grace of our Creator that we forget their existence and value. We are so busy pursuing higher goals every day that we neglect the most ordinary, mundane, but most important things around us. It's like we often complain about the passage of time, but we don't cherish the moment.
How many precious moments, like bright shooting stars, are squandered by us for the sake of fleeting vanity, like fine sand in an hourglass, passing silently. We should be practitioners of our own lives, not puppets drawn by external temptations. In this way, precious lives are wasted. It also fails the grace that the Creator has given us. Therefore, it is the right choice to get rid of the shackles of vanity and cherish every minute of the moment.
How much regret and lamentation do we have to use to regain those lost time? However, the lost time is like a broken mirror, which can no longer be pieced together, and we can only face our own increasingly confused hearts, sincerely repent, and ask the Creator to give us another chance. We must understand a truth, in the blink of an eye we are old, and when we really realize the importance of time, there is a high probability that many things are too late to do.
However, although what is lost cannot be recovered, it does not mean that we have to give up completely, as long as we are willing, the door of repentance is always open, and we still have a chance. What I am most afraid of is giving up on myself and making a mistake to the end. Merciful Allah: "Have they not observed the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and the creation of the Creator, and perhaps their days are near, and what words can they believe but Him?" (7:185)
