 I was reminded of a parable of a teacher of mine who once used to share the story of a man who was in the marketplace right in the souk and as he was walking through the souk he heard the adhan being called to go to prayer right and he was a younger man and as he was walking towards the masjid he got distracted by a very beautiful woman who was fully garbed she had her nikahab on everything but there was something about her that attracted him to her and he wanted to figure out more of who is this what is this thing that is calling me to it that is tempting me so he started following her through the souk brothers none of you guys should ever do this by the way so he started following this woman through the souk and as he followed her he noticed that he was going further throughout the town right deeper into alleys deeper into corners and as he got down to a certain place he noticed it was starting to get darker the sun was starting to set right and then the this person went down into a alleyway and opened a door and went inside and he followed this person into the door and then the person said close the door the man closed the door and then the person said take the key and throw it in the well here throw it away the man through the key down then the person revealed this woman that the man was chasing that he was so intrigued by so occupied by so distracted by revealed itself and it wasn't it wasn't a beautiful woman it was in fact someone who said I am dunya I am the dunya I'm the worldly life and you spent your entire life chasing me chasing after what you thought I was and now here you are in your own grave and it's a profound story for us because the reason why I'm bringing this up is just for us to make sure that we hold gratitude in our hearts for every breath a lot gives us every moment we have even if it's filled with trials and tribulations to make sure that we're grateful to Allah
