Greediness
Greediness is one of the reasons of your sadness
Don’t think that greediness is only about food
Of course, nowadays many people eat a lot. They can’t abstain from eating because of what they see everyday on the media
But greediness is also about a lot of things
People are greedy of fame, of having influential friends, they are greedy of wealth, clothes and much more
But are they happy? No
Happiness must come from inside. there is a work that needs to be done
This is called jihad un nafs
If you want to accomplish jihad un nafs, you must be aware of these:
Why have you been created?
What is your final destination? Akhirah
Where do you want to be? – hell or paradise
If you are sure to answer these questions with yaqeen, then you would like to perform jihad un nafs
The struggle against your lower self
Each day, think about one of your bad habits and try to leave it
If among the circle of friends that you have, they don’t give you inner satisfaction, like them
Sometimes, there are good people around you but you are not interested to meet them because you are still blind
Don’t eat everywhere. pay attention where you buy your cooked food
Wear decent clothes
Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say
