Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali – Reflection 10

‎

“If I contemplate my sins, O’ my Lord, I become scared, but when I remember Your generosity I become greedy.”

(Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali)

SobhanAllah. By looking at this world’s illusionary delights so many become greedy. Man hungers after sex, power and money and sells his soul to gain these three. But sobhanAllah, if we would contemplate the huge mountains of our sins we wo…uld truly be frightened, terrified. But if we would put it in front of the Generous Lord whose Hand of Mercy is open to all then those mountains would become like grains blown away by the wind of His mercy. But we don’t become greedy in collecting as much as possible from His mercy and generosity, no our greed is so narrow and primitive it’s is truly pathetic. “They are as cattle, nay worse” (Quran) – may Allah elevate us from the station of animality to the rank of true humanity!
