Ibnul Qayyim al Jawziyya
Ibnul Qayyim Rahimahullah said, “Tread the path of truth and do not feel lonely because there are few
who take that path. But beware of the path of falsehood and do not be deceived by the vast
number of the Perishers.”
[Kitab al-Zuhd by Ahmad bin Hanbal, Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah.]

The Essential Truth
Living life is about making choices: Choosing to be a “Victim”
Or choosing to be a “Master”
Both stances are subject to the givens of society, environment, organization but have serious implications in terms of your success and happiness

Free to choose but no choice is free
