Lessons from Imam Al-Ghazali

What's the nearest to us in this world?
Death [ Ali Imran : 185 ]

What's the furthest then?
The past. We won't return to the past. Thus, treasure the present and the days to come with values of the Shari'a.

What's the biggest thing in this world?
Desires. [ Al-A'raf: 179 ]. Beware of our own desires. Don't let them lead us to the Hellfire.

What's the heaviest in this world?
Holding trust. [ Surah Al-Ahzab:72 ] The creation of God could not bear to be vicegerents on Earth. However, human beings were proud in carrying out this favour that led most of them to Hellfire due to their failures of keeping trust.

What's the lightest?
Leaving prayers. All due to our tasks, we leave them.

What's the sharpest in this world?
The tongue. People love to backbite and hurt others to satisfy their own needs.
