Glorify Allah
(It will be said): "This is because, when Allâh Alone was invoked (in worship, etc.) you disbelieved, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! So the judgment is only with Allâh, the Most High, the Most Great!" Surat-Ghafir:12
You were invited to Ikhlas (sincerity), you were invoked to have Allah, glory be to Him, as your only God in this worldly life. IN the hereafter, now, the separation and the judgment is for Allah the Most High and Great.
Pause for a moment and make Allah the higher for you than everything. This is how your life will be repaired.
Allah is the Most High, none is higher than Him. He has the characteristic of highness, Glory be to him, He is the Most great.
You should not have the worldly life as important deep inside your heart. For Allah, this worldly life is despicable and worth nothing. It is damned with all it holds. If it is higher in your heart than Allah, then your balances of decisions are dysfunctional. Allah should be higher and more respected and appreciated.
In the battle of Uhud when the rear guard action of the Makkan army had disorganized the Muslim army and had turned the tables, the Prophet SAW stood as firm as a rock even though he had suffered personal injuries. When Abu Sufian bin Sakhaar taunted the Muslims and shouted "Victory to hubal!" [hubal was one of their idols], the Prophet SAW) asked ‘Umar Al-Khattab RA to shout back, "Allah is our protector and friend. You have no protector and friend. Allah is Great, Magnificent." [Ibn Hisham].
If your heart understood the meaning that Allah is Great, Magnificent, then you will be glorifying Allah.
"It is He, Who shows you His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky. And none remembers but those who turn (to Allâh) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else). " Surat-ghafir:13
Isn't it enough? You are surrounded by His proofs.
Haven't you heard of the death of a friend? Haven't you had an accident that was a reminder for you?
{It is He, Who shows you His Ayât } He is showing you all the proofs that he is One and none should be worshipped but him... isn't he the one who bestows you with bounties all your life? Isn't all the provisions and bounties you are in is because of His grace?
Haven't Allah shown you the signs??
Yes, Allah all mighty showed you many signs.. didn't He say { And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).} Surat- alIsra'a:15
So there must have been clear messages that reached you that have evident signs. These messages are meant to guide you to repent back to Allah.
He shows you his signs then he reaches for you with affection. Isn't He the Ever-Affectionate!!
He showers you with his bounties. He guides you to His way with His verses, proofs and signs in your life. He descends on you from the sky your provisions...
Provisions like "Health - Wealth - Children -Wife/ Husband "
He descends His graces and provisions on you in every second and moment...
{ and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky} Surat-ghafir: 12
After all that, who remembers
{And none remembers but those who turn (to Allâh) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else). } Surat-ghafir:13
