About Serving and Achievement

My brother, we live in the world not only for eating or seeking a lot of money, but for giving best serving to Allah. Allah has explained it in Al-Quran (Adz-Dzariyat: 56). He said in this surah, “I didn’t create mankind and evil except for serving Me”. 

My brother, the question for us is, “what is our serving?” May be one of us will answer that serving to Allah can be done by praying  5 times in a day, fasting in Ramadhan month, giving alms, etc. Yeah, it’s right answer. Serving to Allah can be done by these way. 

But my brother, so many people forget that do something for getting achievements is also serving to Him. For example, getting high score in class, be winner in championship, etc. But the requreiment is, we do it because Him, because of Allah.

So this way, by getting achievement actually we serve to Allah. Not only usual serving, but best serving. And now, the question for us is, “What is our best serving to Allah?”, “What is our best achievement?”
