Nothing to envy

Everyone is talking about the new iPhone which is coming out this month. Some people busy with their pre-order; some just updating their status, wishing to have more money in their bank account to participate in the so-called world lifestyle contest. I used to be very envious of every single thing that people haveand i still am, to be honest.
But, a reminder for myself and people out there, what it is for? Whats the purpose? Can it gives any benefits to our beloved Palestinian brothers who suffer the Gaza crisis? With one single product from Apple, they can make us forget. What if Apple is working with the Laknatullah Israelis? No, im not saying they are because i dont know anything about them, im just giving an assumption to think about. Dont change your mind yet because of a single sentence. Make your own research, and think again before you do something. Which one do you want to choose, the lifestyle here in this world or the lifeafter? This is perfectly a reminder for myself and if it does make the readers think, that's good. I want to invest for my lifeafter starting every single day, i dont want to miss the joy im giving to others, not only for myself. Im much happier when i know even one pence i give will help others.
Talking about giving, i want to quote from Friday khutba last week. Even if you give 1000 or even a million but if you do not do the obligation, for example myself as muslim to pray 5 times a day which is still a big problem for me, dont even bother about the other kindness you did. It makes me think, Allah is the Most Merciful and every single deed counts. I've tried my best to be as near as i can to achieve 'good muslim' title but to be frank, praying 5 times a day is still hard to achieve the 'istiqamah' status especially Subuh prayer. But again, i quote from somewhere i can't remember, even Rasulullah (PBUH) said "even the heaven for me is not a guarantee not until I got blessing from Allah the Almighty". and i believe although if im standing between the line that separate the Heaven and Hell, i pray to You to make it easy for me inshaAllah.
Remember, the older we grow, the more money we get, the closer we are to our death. Im not a good muslim yet i still wish to do the best to achieve this. Amin.
