In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
30. And they set up as equal to Allah, to mislead from the Path! Say, "Enjoy! But verily you are making straightway for hell!"
Abraham 14:30

Enjoy! But verily you are making straightway for hell!
We are all running on a time limit. What do we do with our time? So much thought and effort is focused on material things: making money, getting new toys and clothes, having fun, then becoming tired and doing nothing. Then we spend time on seeking glory, being remembered, being recognized, being "somebody". We want people to love us, so we spend time making friends, in the expectation that our friends will give us some sort of strength, and comfort. If not that, then we bitch about people, slander them, find ways to ruin them, and revenge. Then some of us fall in love, and we spend time looking for love, and doing things to appreciated by the ones we love.
How many of us spend our time conducting business with God, and trying to be friends with God? During our time, we are allowed to pray regularly, and spend out of whatever sustenance God gives us, either secretly or openly, before the moment comes when there will be no more negotiations, and no more making friends.
