Finite

Assalamu Alaikum,

A lot has been going on in my life. A lot of change from the events around me. From all the things going on, what I have been reading, thinking and seeing in my interactions with people, everything is finite. I was blessed with things and those things will be taken from me. God is the only thing that remains. The only thing that is ever eternal. The vast sky and even the smallest particle were created, so they are limited. So why have attachment or any love of the world if it finite?

“Of all the follies, the greatest is to love the world.”

–Ali (ra)
