Amongst are its individualistic and socialistically naming people, stereotyping, and the fact about the labelers who present narratives but not the truth about punishing the wrongs.

Physical presence and spiritual absence
We might have heard teachers referring to our present situation in lessons or sermons, saying “your body is present but mind is absent.” This is their way of telling us we are neither listening to them nor following their teaching.
Offerings
There can never be a gift or present we could bestow to God Who is opulent, for all the marvelous work He endowed to the world. The Almighty Lord has created the heavens, the earth and all the gracious creatures in it. The entire universe is under His governance and thus seek no reward from any of His creatures. Yet in expressing gratitude, praise, prayer and love to Him, He wills to accept present from us.
