One day, Hasan al-Basri, rising in the darkness of the night, turned towards Allah. While praying, memories of everything he had possessed in the world came to his mind: gold, silver, beautiful garments... Realizing that all these were temporary, he felt an inner peace. He completely turned away from the world and, shedding all wealth, directed himself solely to his Creator. At that moment, he acknowledged how simple his desires and wishes were. While feeling an emptiness within, he understood that this void could only be filled with the love of Allah in his heart. Purifying his heart through prayer and worship, he withdrew from everything. Without feeling regret for his situation, he found the tranquility of his heart. Zuhd and taqwa revealed to him the true meaning of life. Now, each new day is an opportunity for him. This story serves as a reminder that all beauties are temporary and inspires every individual on how to apply this in their lives.
