I

God says that "God is the source of man's life." He says this to make everyone realize that our lives and souls all come from God and were created by Him—they do not come from our parents, and certainly not from nature, but were given to us by God; it is just that our flesh was born of our parents, and our children were born of us, however, the fates of our children are entirely in God's hands.

That we can believe in God is an opportunity given by Him; it is ordained by Him and it is His grace. There is therefore no need for you to fulfill your obligation or responsibility to anyone else; you should only fulfill the duty to God that you ought to fulfill as a created being. This is what people must do above anything else, it is the main thing and primary affair that people most ought to complete in their lives. If you do not fulfill your duty well, you are not a created being that is up to standard.

In the eyes of others, you may be a good wife and loving mother, an excellent housewife, a filial child, and an upstanding member of society, but before God you are one who rebels against Him, one who has not fulfilled their obligation or duty at all, one who accepted yet did not complete God's commission, one who gave up halfway. Can someone like this gain God's approval? People like this are worthless.
