“Allah bless the man who once made the comment I paraphrase here.
He said: “The more time you spend doing “Allah’s work,” the more time you seem to have on your hands for your own “personal work.”
And, conversely, the less time you spend doing Allah’s work, the less time there seems to be for your own personal work – if there is such a thing as that.”
Allahu Akbar, what a sentiment! What a thought!
Does anyone else feel the way this gentleman seems to feel, because I can see quite clearly what he means?
Or is it a special line God Almighty opens up to some people, much to the envy of the rest of us?” (Dr. Pasha)
