Allah Jalla Jalaaluhou

Did you know that everything which prevents you from coming close to Allah was created by Allah Himself? It is Allah who gives health. It is Allah who gives wealth. It is Allah who gives honour. It is Allah alone who has full authority over whatever you require. No one else has authority over anything, even in the least. Everything is from Allah Ta'ala. Everything is decreed and approved by Allah Ta'ala. Is it not in vain then, to run behind the creation, instead of coming close to the Creator?
