Confession! I have to share this with you, please read.

As I stepped into the crisp morning air, the chill of winter's breath enveloped me. I wrapped myself in layers, each one a testament to my desire to shield myself from the cold's bitter bite. The cap, jallabiya, hoody, Babbar Riga, socks, and face mask all served as armor against the morning's icy grip.
As I stood there, a sudden realization dawned on me like the first light of dawn. I was willing to go to great lengths to protect myself from the fleeting discomfort of cold, yet I often neglected to exert comparable effort in safeguarding myself against the eternal torment of hellfire.
A shiver ran down my spine as the weight of this realization settled upon me. The same Omniscient Lord who created the cold and granted me the intellect to protect myself from its bitter bite was the same Merciful God who created the hellfire and endowed me with the capacity to perform righteous deeds that would shield me from its scorching flames.
I felt the earth beneath me tremble as the magnitude of this truth hit me. The hellfire, a reality that seemed so distant, so abstract, was in fact a very real and present danger. And I, a humble servant, had been entrusted with the agency to choose my path.
As the morning sun rose higher in the sky, casting its golden light upon me, I felt a sense of awe and reverence wash over me. I was but a small, insignificant speck in the grand tapestry of creation, and yet I had been given the gift of free will.
In this moment of introspection, I knew that I stood at a crossroads. I could continue down the path of complacency, neglecting my duty to protect myself from the hellfire. Or I could choose to embark on a journey of self-discovery, one that would lead me to cultivate the wisdom and resolve to shield myself from the flames.
As I stood there, the cold morning air still nipping at my nose, I knew which path I would choose. I would strive to live a life that was pleasing to my Creator, one that would shield me from the hellfire and guide me towards the gardens of paradise.
