In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate
life is turning me down :( <--[ click ]-----> continuation
"But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not". (Al-Baqarah: 216)
Quoting some of N.A.K's words:
"This reliance on Allah, acknowledging that Allah knows better, what's better for me than even I know for myself, and that he cares more for me than anyone in the world would care for me. Allah loves His believing slave more than anyone else would love him."
"No mother would love her child like Allah loves His slave."
"He gets revelation and he delivered it to the people and he loves to get revelation. It is the most beautiful experience for him."
"but it is at that very moment when we are in distress that Allah really test who are the people who believe and who are the people who only believe when time were good."
"Allah is not putting us through anything out of spite, or hatred, or abandonment, or anything like these."
part 2:
"It's not because of your skill, it's not because of your resume and it's not because your degree. It is because Allah is providing you."
"...perhaps Allah tooks some worldly things away from you so you learn to rely more on Allah."
"This is what makes the Muslim different from other people: We never expect bad from God...."
****************************************************************
Whatever good or bad things that befall you, only Allah knows whether it is good or bad. Just like the Quranic verse given, perhaps we hate a thing but it is good for us and perhaps we love a thing so much but it is bad for us. Allah knows and we know not. The tests given are a means to see whether we, as His creations rely on Him or not.
Let us refresh our minds, when something bad happens to us, what do we do first? cry?yell?listen to melancholic songs?go out randomly?go out with perfect strangers? rebel and do something against our belief?or do we take ablution,perform solah and read the Quran?
What about if happy things come to us? what do we do? say our gratitude? Alhamdulillah? jump with joy? go to the movies? shop?
Frankly, I dare to say, we are not thankful creatures [and that means I am included]....we tend to forget over and over again that whatever happens, happens for a reason. Whatever happens is a sign of how we should rely upon Him as our creatOr.
So,what should we [ I ] do?
Take action, be thankful......If bad things happen to you [ or if you did not get what you prayed for], don't worry, it was never meant for you at the first place and Allah will replace it with something even better, if not now, later....Your task is to never give up on Him and continue praying....inshaAllah everything will be FINE.....this is not some mere optimistic statements but rather I was/am being realistic then comes optimism along the way ^^
Wallahu a'lam
