Ibn 'Abdillah As-sudaisiy Al-Iloori

Allaah has destined those who would be leaders on the surface of the earth and those who would serve under them. Be pleased with whatever class Allaah has placed you in your own society. What should be the priority of every Muslim, no matter his class in the society, is how he or she is going to attain the mercy and pleasure of Allaah by worshipping Him with ikhlaas (sincerity) and in accordance with the Qur'an, Sunnah and the understanding of the best generations of the Muslims.

The mercy of Allaah is far better than what we all scramble acquire of worldly benefits. So, don't let your pursuit of the ephemeral things of this world put you against your purpose of creation (worship) and ultimate goal (al-jannah). We must reduce our love for material things of this world for the purpose of enjoying in the hereafter. One of the salaf, Malik Bin Dinaar رحمه الله said:

((من خطب الدنيا طلبت منه دينه كلها في صداقها))

"Whoever woos the world, it would demand the whole of his religion as its dowry" [Min Akhlaaq Salaf, pg43]

May Allaah guide us aright.

Aamin. Jazaak Allaahu khayran

JazaakumuLlahu Khayran. But, it's not easy. May Allah make it easy for us to love Him more than anything.
