...But if Your wrath does not fall on me...

[Reflections]

AsSalaamu Aalaykum WarahmatAllah Wabarakatuh

The following passage is taken from the famous book on the biography of Rasool Allah sallahu alaihi wasalam called "The sealed Nector." The story below is the condition of Rasool Allah sallahu alaihi wasalam after he was stoned out of the town of Taif:




...At a time when the whole world seemed to have turned against him, Muhammad sallahau alaihi wasalam turned to his Lord and betook himself to prayer and the following touching words are still preserved as those through which his oppressed soul gave vent to its distress. He was weary and wounded but confident of the help of his Lord:

"O Allah, To You alone I make complaint of my helplessness, the paucity of my resources and my insignificance before mankind. You are the most Merciful of the mercifuls. You are the Lord of the helpless and the weak, O Lord of mine! Into whose hands would You abandon me: into the hands of an unsympathetic distant relative who would sullenly frown at me, or to the enemy who has been given control over my affairs? But if Your wrath does not fall on me, there is nothing for me to worry about"



O Allah, bless Your rasool sallahu alaihi wasalam who remained firm and patient even in the most difficult of times and O our Rabb grant us the honour to be near him on the day of judgment and with him in jannah. Ameen

may Allah reward you sis - was thinking of that prayer recently, one of the most humble prayers, and hence - most powerful.
