To What Extent?

Humans..are born with nafs..and this nafs is a creation of Allah that has an unbelievable level of pride.
It was told that on the day it was created, Allah asked it:
"Who am I?"
And it said;
"You are You, and I am I"
So Allah burned it in the Hellfire, and repeated the same question:
"Who am I?"
And it said;
"You are You, and I am I"
So Allah burned it again in the Hellfire, and repeated the same question:
"Who am I?"
And it said;
"You are You, and I am I"
And after again being burnt..it finally said:

You are my God, and I am Your servant

Brothers and sisters, this story is a reminder to you and I, that our nafs was once so ignorant that it needed three hell-of-a-punishment to really realise that it actually was created.
So to what extent do WE need to be punished to realise that we are no more than His Creations? Will it be The Hellfire? Or will it be on this world?

or why not we just take the easiest solution..
Whoever we are; A king, a minister, an engineer, or even if we're just a man,
Lets throw away all ignorance and ego, remove our arrogance and pride,
and
Lets drop down, bowing and prostrating ourselves to The One, The Creator, The Ruler.
And set it in our hearts..that You and I, we're no one. So lets stop pretending that we are.
