“Worship should not be done for the acqusition of pleasure. Rather it should be done to please the creator. Take the example of a person doing zikr. The first time he does zikr, he finds pleasure. The second time he finds pleasure and the third time and so on. But a time may come where for some reason or another, this pleasure disappears.

Now this person will not be able to carry on with his zikr as wil no longer find what he believed was satisfaction. louis vuitton handbags On the other hand, a person does zikr for the sake of Allah and for His pleasure. Regardless of the fact whether he finds pleasure or not he will carry out zikr continually and eventually reach spiritual bliss.”
