Hungry soul

Assalamualaikum!

I came across a post on instagram a few days ago, nearly a week ago I guess, and it suddenly hit me hard. It made me think that I'm very small and low. Something that I feel very ashamed of myself. Not sure if I'm the only one who feels that way, but I believe that post is just a reminder to us. 

I took a screenshot of it because I feel it's worth sharing. "If we could take selfies of our soul, would we find it to be attractive to upload and show it to the world?" Masha Allah.. I don't know why but the words make me reflect it to my deeds. More often that not, most of us love to take selfies and put it on public for others to see. But if we are given the chance to post the selfies of our souls and upload them, would we even do it? Most of us would be ashamed of how empty and rotten our souls are. We are proud to show our faces, just because we feel that we are beautiful and flawless, hence we show it to other people. But when it comes to our souls, we become embarrassed and insecure to show them. It makes me think of how screwed up this world has become. People are prouder to show the weakness than the goodness. So let's take this chance to ponder on how to feed our souls and to fill the emptiness. More zikr and remembrance towards Allah can increase our faith. Do more ibadah and streghten our relationship with Allah as well as human beings, to feed these hungry souls of ours. In Sha Allah, we would not be ashamed to show our souls to people.
