There are three gates to this self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three..!!

Bhagwat gita

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: “Who takes a path upon which he seeks knowledge, then Allah makes a path to Paradise easy for him. And indeed the angels lower their wings in approval to the one seeking knowledge. Indeed forgiveness is sought for the knowledgeable one by whomever is in the heavens and whomever is in the earth, even the fish in the waters. " -Sahih Muslim 2699

It paves the way to paradise

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: "And the superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the rest of the celestial bodies. Indeed the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets do not leave behind Dinar or Dirham. The only legacy of the scholars is knowledge, so whoever takes from it, then he has indeed taken the most able share." - Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2682

You become a heir of Prophets

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: "When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: Continuing charity, knowledge that others benefited from, and a righteous son who supplicates for him" - Riyad as-Salihin 1383

It is a charity that continues to pay after death

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: ‘One Faqih (knowledgeable man) is more formidable against the Shaitan than one thousand devoted worshipers.’

You become a formidable adversary of Satan

The Prophet(PBUH) said: “The best of charity is when a Muslim man gains knowledge, then he teaches it to his Muslim brother." -Sunan Ibn Majah 243

It is the best of charity

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: ‘You must acquire this knowledge before it is taken away, and its taking away means that it will be lifted up.’ He joined his middle finger and the one that next to the thumb like this, and said: ‘The scholar and the seeker of knowledge will share the reward, and there is no good in the rest of the people -Sunan Ibn Majah 228

The scholar and the seeker of knowledge will share the reward

The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: "Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim, and he who passes knowledge to those who do not deserve it, is like one who puts a necklace of jewels, pearls and gold around the neck of swines " -Sunan Ibn Majah 224

It is a duty of every muslim

It is the obligation of a good Muslim to go out and seek knowledge. 

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) in several languages

Importance of gaining Knowledge in Islam

We may think we are insignificant beings in the grand scheme of things, but our actions and choices have the power to shape our future.We often think of ourselves as individuals, but the truth is, we are nothing without others. Our actions and choices affect those around us. We are interconnected in ways we may not realize. So remember:Our interactions with others matter, no matter how small they may seem.Kindness and consideration can make a huge difference in someone's life.✨ The little things we do can make a big difference in the world. Let's make those small actions count.

The Truth 

scienceandnature

Science & Nature

The Only True: Know Nothing 

Life is devoid of meaning. What is the purpose of existence if we ultimately perish and dissipate into the vastness of the universe? All memories fade, all emotions vanish, and all achievements crumble as we near the end of our life's journey. If everything ultimately goes back to nothing, why bother starting? If all structures will eventually crumble to dust, then why start building?Whether one is a saint, a serial killer, or just an average Joe, we all meet our demise eventually. So why bother doing good if the outcome is the same? If life holds no meaning, then why live?

Nihilism

Imagine if you died and were reborn without memories of your past life. Then, you would live the same life and eventually die once more, only to be reborn again and repeatedly live the same life. This is the concept of Eternal Recurrence. Would you want your mundane life to be the one lived forever by the next "you" after your rebirth, or would you rather live your life with maximum power and authenticity so that you can fully enjoy life without any regrets? As humans, we have an inherent desire: to live life fully so that when our life reaches its maximum potential, we can leave satisfied.

Desire

When will we feel that our life is valuable and full of meaning? It's when we can feel satisfied in the midst of death, when we truly realize that there's nothing more possible to achieve. To live is to die satisfied.From the moment we are born, all our efforts are aimed towards building up to that final crescendo, towards the eventual conclusion, where we can reach the highest climax and experience ultimate satisfaction. It is the single shortest moment of epitome in satisfaction which will be abruptly interrupted by our demise will be when our requiem ends perfectly.

To Live Is To Die Satisfied

How can we attain the highest possible value of our lives so that we can reach ultimate satisfaction? According to Nietzsche, it is by overcoming all human obstacles and standing on the hill of solitude as the transcended human being, the Übermensch, that we truly acquire the most life-affirming will and the greatest value in living.

Value In Life

However, the idea of eternal recurrence is only fictional and not a true afterlife scenario. Without proper evidence, let us assume that there is no afterlife or any forms of resurrection.If this is the case, then after one dies, there is nothing left remaining. If the universe dies, there is no continuation to anything and everything ceases to exist. Therefore, it is impossible for any inherent meaning to exist if everything "meaningful" will soon return to its "meaningless" state.If you feel anxious about this idea, don't you think it is absurd that our worries are never be answered?

Copium 

It is the greatest absurdity of life (the Absurd) that we crave meaning to justify our own existence, when in reality, there is none.Instead of searching tirelessly for a reason to live, why not just live? If we think life being meaningless is a problem, we will feel anxious about it always.Let's take the opposite approach: accept that life is inherently meaningless. Then, the reality that life is meaningless will no longer affect our mental wellbeing.Have you ever danced just to reach a particular brick on the stage? We dance because we love to dance. This applies to life as well.

Absurdism 

Absurdism helps us deal with existential crises, but when our fate turns against us, and makes our lives unbearable. We may lose the will to live. We crave meaning to endure the suffering when we are at our lowest, but when that encouragement is lost, what is left to keep us going?This is the very reason life inflicts suffering upon us and forces us to feel hopeless. By persisting through the pain and even finding joy in it, we become stronger than fate itself.This denial of fate and rebellion against the idea of giving up on a meaningless and painful existence is what gives our lives value.

Challenging Fate

Imagine carrying a boulder for eternity like Sisyphus. Would you think this mundane life would be enjoyable? This punishment by the gods to Sisyphus is so harsh that one would normally feel hopeless in carrying on. However, it is exactly for this reason that Sisyphus is happy.As he embraces the mundaneness to its fullest, he works against the gods' favor, making the punishment not a punishment for him, and showing that the gods have failed in their attempts to make Sisyphus hopeless. And thus he's happy.It is when we endure the impossible that we truly shine and finally become the Übermensch.

The Myth Of Sisyphus

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Why try to live absurdly when it is meaningless? It is precisely because life is absurd and meaningless that continuing on and rebelling against it becomes absurd. By doing so, we become more absurd than the Absurd itself. We have triumphed over life.This is the single greatest achievement any human being can aspire to: by rebelling against meaninglessness, we become even more absurd than the Absurd. And the longer we remain in this state, the more valuable our lives become.When we strive for greatness and aim to become the Übermensch, we ultimately become the embodiment of the Absurd.

Life Value And Absurd

This view is echoed by Sartre, who upholds the simple view that the value of life is the accumulation of all our actions that we have performed in this life.Without a reason to live, one may imagine that their being is non-existent – that it should not even exist here, right now. However, undeniably, we do feel our surroundings, such as the wind and the cold. Human experience is the most concrete evidence that we are living in the present moment, but it is also the fastest to fade away once the experience is over.This is the lightness of living, for the authenticity of living fades away fast.

The Lightness Of Living

When we experience life to the fullest, the blank sheet of life may be filled with colors to its highest potential.For when we stop dwelling on the past or future and focus on the present, we can experience and enjoy every moment completely and wholeheartedly. By being like Sisyphus, we not only resist the punishment of the Absurd, but we also fill our sheet of life with colors and paint. It is only when we have fully covered the sheet in color that we create a masterpiece of our own life.We are the creators of our own masterpieces, and we should enjoy the process of creating.

Human Experience And Value In Living

When all of our human experiences are finally accumulated and the final note of our requiem is reached, we will have finally overcome all possible obstacles as the Übermensch. We will have lived the most absurd life against the Absurd, and our lives will have been filled with the highest value possible, reaching its climax.It is when the meaning in living may seem unattainable, we make it appear as if we have achieved it in the face of harsh reality, so that as our requiem comes to an end, we will leave satisfied, while pointing a middle-finger to life itself and embracing death's warm hug.

The Purpose Of Life

What is the purpose of life?

In order to become the highest version of self, we must have a thorough understanding of ourselves. This involves both a strong connection to and awareness of who we are.To operate as our true selves, we must take the time to discover our true nature through self-reflection, self-care, and self development.Being too attached to other people, places and things will cause one to remain living under a false identity.It is okay to redirect your attention to self, and is required if one wants to live authentically.

Detaching To Reconnect

“The root of suffering is attachment”

<ul><li>We must detach ourselves from the outcome of any situation and simply trust that everything will work out in our favor.</li></ul>

The Law of Detachment 

If you have an insecure attachment style and suffered from Childhood Trauma, these two factors can make it either extremely difficult or too easy to detach and let go as you likely have a need for control due to the uncertainty of the outcome. Insecure Attachment Styles: Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized Solutions: <ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Educate self on attachment style</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Identify and unlearn negative patterns </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Educate self on practicing emotional regulation </li></ul>

 5 Tips to Reconnect With Self

Is it a person, is it a place, is it a thing? Ask yourself whether or not this attachment adds value Be honest with yourself about your reason for being attached What is it that you are seeking from the attachment? Is it healthy to desire what you are seeking?

Identify Attachments 

Reconnecting with self takes some healing. The key to healing is feeling, not suppressing. Oftentimes we don’t want to think about what we are feeling. Avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms and old patterns by paying attention to how you are feeling. Give yourself space as if you were someone else. Place attention on pinpointing exactly what it is you are feeling, not the situation itself. Once acknowledged, embrace the emotion, once the emotion is embraced, release the emotion.

Control Attention & Embrace Emotion.

Accept that your authentic self is good enough. Accept that you do not need anything apart from you to add value to your life. Accept that not everyone and everything deserves your presence or attention. Accept that you can meet your goals without who or what you are attached to

What To Accept  

“I release everything that is not mine to carry”

“Love isn’t blind, attachment is”

Love is not blind, attachment is. When you are starved for love and connection or anything you need for survival, you will lower your standards and take nearly anything. Overlooking red flags, baggage, and things about the person/thing that a healed and filled version of you would not. It’s like grocery shopping on an empty stomach. You’re more likely to fill up on things you do not need or just straight junk. The solution: Let go to grow.

The Last Quote Explained:

How releasing attachments helps in discovering and operating as your authentic self.
