Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: “Indeed amazing are the affairs of a believer! They are all for his benefit. If he is granted ease then he is thankful, and this is good for him and if he is afflicted with a hardship, he perseveres, and this is good for him” [Al-Bukhari]
The two state of life of human being is described in the above hadith. So often we take for granted the things that we have with us. However, we live each day not knowing what tomorrow holds for us but knowing that God holds all our tomorrows. As per the nature of life, our situation change with the time rotation. Any turn of our life fills us up with the either of the two extremes – happiness and ease or despair or hardship. If it’s the ‘contentment and pleasure’ side we are put into, we cherish it and know splendidly to handle it too. But when we are confronted by situations of 'despair and hopelessness', many remain unequipped to handle the scenario and end themselves into bewildering consequences.The prophet Muhammad pbuh has elobrated how to act in such situations.
When we are at ease, we should be thankful and grateful that is the key to happiness. When gratitude is practiced regularly and from the heart, it leads to a richer, fuller and more complete life… It is impossible to bring more abundance into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you already have. Why? As there are so many human being who are deprived of these things which we enjoy in our lives. We should be grateful that we are not tested like others. Because the thoughts and feelings we emit as we feel. If we are grateful will value the blessings, that will attract more of those feelings and events into your life.
It's the fact that the stronger your immune system, the greater its ability to fight disease. Since it defends the body from developing potentially harmful diseases and conditions caused by bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections. Similiarly, if we are facing any kind of hardship or trials, then we need to learn how to endure it, showing patience and gratitude in such circumstances, sadness and worry will disappear or at least feel lighter. Emanating positive vibes, can overcome our situation in a better way. Because these are just temporary phase of life. Human being should appreciate their life better in all condition.
It is a faith in the Creator for a life to live with the challenges that it brings in. We do not destroy the plants of beautiful roses for they have thorns. Thorns are there to protect the flowers so as the problems and challenges in life make us strong and bring closer to the Creator. Keeping spirits high and trusting the decision of God along with seeking his mercy is the only way to face this phase of life till it changes. If we are mindful that God has control over all things and is our well-wisher who loves us the most, we can leave our sadness and worry behind. And we are truly here for a short time. As the saying goes "Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do". Lets put our trust in God and continue our journey of life.
"[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -" (Qur'an 67 : 2)
Absolutely true, I've been saying this to a lot of people myself lately. Life is truly a test, it's not a game of who has the right team, it's of who sticks strong to God (Allah saw) in every single aspect of their life, those people who don't fall for the illusion, delusion, corruption and brainwashing of this world.
The Dajjal is afoot, it has been preparing it's entrance since 1776, getting stronger and stronger through the cultural engineering of the 20th century. It's almost ready to take it's throne.
People are too infested in this world, including many fellow Muslims, to realize what they are getting themselves into. This life is not about jobs, what is on the TV/news, your favorite celebrity or rock band, it's not about sex, money, fame, social position, it's not about any of these things.
As Surah 57:20 says:
Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah.. And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?
This life is not a walk in the park, it's not about vain pleasure, it's a serious test and most have fallen into the illusions of this world.
Just as the Bible says that people who call themselves Christians but will not go to heaven, same sentiment is expressed in the Qur'an and Hadith. Calling yourself a Muslim doesn't denote that your soul belongs in heaven. Many people stick by vain labels but have their hearts set on this world, not the next. This is a massive error.
Only Allah saw is the answer, seek God not this world. This world is the serpent personified, this world is the revival of Babylon (Tower of Babel), the world before the flood of Nuh.
This is very real, it's sobering and really needs to make anyone who cares about their soul, think very seriously and honestly about it all.
aozu billahi mena shaitan arrajeem brothers and sisters, truly, truly.
