Dignity and Independence
عزتِ نفس اور خودداری
مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِاللهِ، أَحْوَجَ النَّاسَ إِلَيْهِ.
جو اللہ کے بھروسے پر (لوگوں سے) بے نیاز ہو گیا، اللہ لوگوں کو اس کا محتاج بنا دیتا ہے۔
“Whoever seeks independence through Allah (by trusting Him alone), Allah makes people feel a need for him.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ identifies a spiritual law of attraction. When a person stops looking at the hands of created beings and fixes their gaze on the Creator, they gain a unique form of Internal Power ($Izzah$). Paradoxically, the more you stop chasing people for help, the more your character and stability become a magnet for others. True wealth is not having a lot of money; it is having a heart that is satisfied with its Lord.
