How to let go of things?
How to totally and completely detach oneself from this world and all of its pointless although tempting attractions and temptations?
This is surely the only way for the human being to realize his/her full potential as The Almighty’s vicegerent here on Earth whether in one way or the other.
Contributions are quite welcome to that effect, thanks!

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Chapter 93
Verse 1. By the morning brightness
Verse 2. And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
Verse 3. Your Lord has not taken leave of you, nor has He detested [you].
Verse 4. And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
Verse 5. And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
Verse 6. Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Verse 7. And He found you lost and guided [you],
Verse 8. And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.
Verse 9. So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].

Verse 11. But as for the favor of your Lord, proclaim [it].
The Holy Qur’an Speaks to everybody in general so that anybody may situate themselves.
How would one feel without eyes to see the beauty of the world around us?
How would one feel without hands or feet to hold and move towards and go places?
How much thanks do we owe to The Almighty for each and every second of all of those priceless Blessings?
And what a Blessing too to be clothed in clean garments and to be Blessed with a sound and discerning mind, soul, and heart!
LAUGH AT THE WORLD and don’t take it seriously, it’s run by fools and clowns, so anybody who takes it seriously is bogged down in it and unhappy.. 
“You were dead when you followed the ways of the world” (Eph 2:1/2)
“A friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4)
“Don’t love the world or the things in it,otherwise the love of God is not in you” (1 John 2:15-17)
“He who is of the earth speaks earthly things” (John 3:31)
“Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers” (1 Pet 1:18)
“Don’t conform to the pattern of this world” (Rom 12:2)
“As a soldier of Christ, please only God and not the world” (2 Tim 2:3/4)
“Set your mind on things above,not on things on the earth” (Col 3:2)
“You were bought at a price,don’t serve men” (1 Cor 7:23)
“You died with Christ from this world, so don’t keep submitting to its rules” (Col 2:20)
“For we look at things unseen rather than the seen,for the seen are temporary,but the unseen are eternal” (2 Cor 4:18)
We must learn to let go of things that are in our grasps firstly.
For example, anything can happen.
If you’ve money, then anybody can come ask for some financial help, right?
So what’s your move gonna be then?
I’m happy to donate cash to worthwhile causes, but not to scounging beggars and immigrants..
From God’s Law:
Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the “I AM”.
Deuteronomy 10:17-19
10:17 For the “I AM” your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
10:18 He doth execute the Judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
And from the Gospel, in confirmation of God’s Law:
Matthew 5:41-48
5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax-collectors the same?
5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the tax-collectors so?
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven IS perfect.
Matthew
25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit The Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?
25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into Everlasting Fire, prepared for the devil and his angels (YOU that do not DO God’s Will):
25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into Life Eternal.
Scrounging ungrateful violent heathen immigrants can’t get under the Bibles radar..:)-
Jesus said- “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs…do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces” (Matt 15:26,Matt 7:6)
John said- “Do not let unbelievers into your house or bid them God speed” (2 John 1:10 KJV)
What is a worthwhile cause? Examples please…
Just causes- parents of a child who needs cash for an operation, and a disabled person who needs a mobility scooter, or someone who needs cash to pay a vets bill, the list is endless.
Or would you rather give cash to scrounging immigrants?
How do you know that a certain person asking for help, whether an immigrant or not, will be violent and/or ungrateful after you help them?
I do know that many immigrants have caused terrible problems all over the earth. Including the terrible thing that happened to the gentleman in Ireland recently. So I am sensitive to this and express my condolences. Do you believe they will all act this way?
Do you have a problem with those without shelter or food? I don’t see them on your list and they seem to be in more need outside of people that are suffering from genocide.
Just according to whom?
From doctors that God has condemned, i.e. deemed unlawful (1 Chron. 16:12), using pharmaceutical poisons which God has likewise condemned (Exod. 22:18; Gal. 5:19-21)?
Like all of the morbidly obese, something else God has condemned (Deut. 21:20-21; Deut. 32:15)?
Yet another profession (veterinary medicine) that uses pharmaceutical poisons which God has condemned? Or were you referring to the veterans who have fought to further enrich and empower the parasitic criminal ruling class which God has likewise condemned (Isa. 3:12)?
Agreed. There’s seemingly no end to the evil Satan can dupe people into believing and doing under the guise of “good intentions”. The road to hell-fire is paved with seemingly good intentions.
Deuteronomy 24:14 Thou shalt NOT oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, OR OF THY STRANGERS THAT [ARE] IN THY LAND WITHIN THY GATES:
When someone sees things through human eyes, they see everything upside down and backwards.
Learn how to let go of the satanically-controlled “self” and start seeing things through spiritual eyes, knowing what God (Who IS just and good - Deut. 32:4; Matt. 19:17) deems to be just and good IS just and good.
God determines what causes are just causes and which ones are not. And He’s done that for us in His Law, to remove any satanic wiggle-room.
1- Immiogrants are law breakers by being ILLEGALS, so we don’t want such criminals coming into our countries..
2- i’ve been homeless myself so I simply signed on for welfare and rightly got back what i’d been paying in taxes, i never went around begging, so neither need anybody else..
You may wish to take that up with the NGO’S (non-governmental organizations), and those who fund such organizations, such as those affiliated with the United Nations. Your so called government is on the take as well.
Most of those immigrants are shipped in from war torn countries, or countries that are in massive debt to the World Bank, and others who are taking over their land. THEY take over the land one way or another, and re-construct it according to their plans.
You may wish to look up The Kalergi Plan, and decide for yourself if it is in fact an anti semitic right wing conspiracy theory, or not.
Either way, those illegal immigrants and beggars as you call them are just as much victims as you are.
From page 28 I couldn’t agree more:
Human society can NEVER work, because it is based on human selfishness (a kingdom or house
divided can never stand – Democracy, Politics, Parliament, families and society - Matt. 12:25).
If you have 100 people and you are one of them, and every one is out for their “Self”, you can have
nothing but violence and war, with the strong victimising and oppressing the weak; the rich doing the
same to the poor, and the clever doing likewise to the not so clever.
If, however, you have the same 100 people and you are one of them, and EVERY single one of them
puts everybody else first, and his or her “Self” second, then, every single person, including you, gains
99 times.
It will ONLY work, if EVERY single person does it, otherwise, the one who doesn’t, steals
everything from the others (sound familiar?). One bad apple ruins the whole barrel.
So far it has NEVER been realized by man, and there has NEVER been peace on Earth.
