Worshiping our own nafs!

After our solat subuh yesterday,our Imam Haji Abu Zar led the congregation to read Ayat 23 until ayat 36 of Surah AlJaathiyah.After each ayat,the bilal read the translations for all of us to understand.From the reading,let me quote these two ayats for us to ponder ...Let me quote my personal notes to share with my fellow muslim readers:

[23]
Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight: Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?
[23] Dengan yang demikian, bagaimana fikiranmu (wahai Muhammad) terhadap orang yang menjadikan hawa nafsunya: Tuhan yang dipatuhinya dan dia pula disesatkan oleh Allah kerana diketahuiNya (bahawa dia tetap kufur ingkar) dan dimeteraikan pula atas pendengarannya dan hatinya serta diadakan lapisan penutup atas penglihatannya? Maka siapakah lagi yang dapat memberi hidayat petunjuk kepadanya sesudah Allah (menjadikan dia berkeadaan demikian)? Oleh itu, mengapa kamu (wahai orang-orang yang ingkar) tidak ingat dan insaf?

Referring to the above ayat, nowadays we muslims may be not be worshiping idols but without knowing we may be worshiping our nafs.Obedience is an act of worship.

[35] "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and the life of the world deceived you;" (from) that Day, therefore, they shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace.
[35] (Balasan buruk) yang demikian ini ialah kerana kamu telah menjadikan ayat-ayat keterangan Allah sebagai ejek-ejekan dan kerana kamu telah membiarkan diri kamu diperdayakan oleh kehidupan dunia. Maka pada hari itu mereka tidak akan dikeluarkan dari Neraka dan mereka tidak diberi peluang untuk bertaubat (memperbaiki kesalahannya).

Most of us think that we are the obedient sevants  of  Allah swt all the time, but  some of our actions  may fall under the category of mocking the ayats of Allah swt. We may disobey the Commands of Allah, but we cannot run away from the Wills of Allah.
