Everybody is Chasing Something Imaginary

Everything else, just imagine it's going to disappear. Everything is about to disappear. All of you have a time on your foreheads.

You have a timer. You are all slowly disappearing. But Allah's face will remain.

We spend so much money and time and effort in this world chasing things. They are a mirage. They are an illusion.

They are not real. We chase promotions at work. We connect. We hang our respect and our dignity on our job title. We chase men and women. We chase love.

We want attention, validation from them. But they're never going to give us validation. One day, they will get upset and say something to us. One day, they will get angry with us. We chase the appreciation of people.

I invite all of you to my house for dinner. Please don't turn up. Nothing has been cooked. I invite all of you to my house for dinner. In my heart, I want you to say, ما شاء الله — nice house. I want your appreciation. I'm chasing your opinion of me.

But your opinion of me — it's smoke. It's going to disappear. Whose opinion of me is most important?

We live in a world where everybody is chasing something imaginary. You and me should be the ones who chase the real.
