Are You Prepared to Die to Live?

Life, as we know it as a people is what we see. But, the real life, you have to work for everyday because it is not given to you to live anyway. Life is a gift to be treasured, to be watched over like a garden, to be worked on and cultivated so that you can get the best product. Are you prepared to die to your worldly desires to live within the Spirit of G'd inside of yourself?  Are you prepared to die to the ways of this material world to live in the unseen world of Allah, G'd?
