The search for eternal joy needs effort but our tendency is to lean toward the temporal. This requires adopting the middle way. In co-operation, a balance is maintained. Responsibility must be carried. It is simple yet hard. It is the way of Allah Almighty. Nighttime is free for His worship. The drama of life is replaced by soaking up spiritual rain. It has the cure and brings enjoyment, as long as the ego allows waking up for qiyam al layl. Keeping this appointment makes the drama disappear. Allah gives the illness and the cure.
Be Straight

Prophet (sas) said, "Surat Hud turned my hair white - شيَّبتني سورةُ هود ". It carries the command: "Be Straight like you've been ordered (11:112) - استقِم كما أُمِرتَ " Why did Islam spread so widely? Because of the order, Be Straight. Given and keeping that command, Alexander The Great could open every locked gate. But neither Putin nor Obama can ever save the world. The way out is in being straight and they are not! Therefore be prepared for the approaching big war!
