'Delays'

[noraina]

Sheikh Muhammad an-Najdi made a beautiful point about the Prophet Joseph`alayhi salaam (peace be upon him) when it comes to ‘delays’.When Joseph (as) was in jail, he was considered the best person evenb y those who shared his cell. They said to him, “Indeed, we see you to be of those who do good,” (Qur’an, 12:36). Yet even though he was better than them, he remained in jail for longer; his release was‘delayed’. The first cellmate was released and went on to becomea servant; the second was executed. When Joseph (as) was finally released many years later, he became a Minister and was reunited with his family.

So if you ever feel that your dreams are delayed, and everyone else seems to be moving forward, just remember the example of Joseph (as).Stay true to Allah (swt) and to yourself and remember that “Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good,” (Qur’an 9:120). Indeed, He is al-Muqaddim, al-Mu’akhir; the One who brings forward and the One who delays.
