Remembrance and Prayer by Al Ghazali

'Allah revealed to His creation an ordered way of life, they chose for themselves chaos instead. Allah commanded and prohibited not for His benefit, but rather in the interest of mankind. Yet people have ignored their obligation, forgotten their Lord, and legislated for themselves. All to what end, if not to saddle themselves with hunger and fear?'

thought this was really insihgtful, and a good way to explain to non Muslims when they ask 'why does God allow bad things ot happen' or for when Muslim ask 'why there are so many rules in Islam'

May we all benefit from such knowledge, and May Allah bless Al-ghazali and elevate his position in jannah.
