As-salamu alaykum everyone,
I don't really know how to start this topic but I'll just jump into the thought which sparked in my mind. On the way back home from the mosque after Isha prayer while walking I just looked up to the sky. I usually look up the sky after Isha to spot the moon because I love to see these amazing creations of Allah (s.w.t.) like the trees, flowers, clouds, etc. But today was different, I found many stars around in the sky and I never really took much notice or thought about stars much before but today for some reason I admired them so much that I actually spoke "SubhanAllah for creating these stars". So when I came back home I had an amazing dinner (courtesy mom!) and started reading the Qur'aan like I do every day (Arabic recitation with English translation courtesy Mishary Al-Afasy and Ibrahim Walk). Today I was reading Surah Al-Furqan (25th chapter) and then I reached ayaat number 60. I had to perform sajdah because this was a verse which indicated the reader to perform sujudh. So I came back to reading after doing the sajdah and the very next verse that I read was:
Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.
Now many will think this is a coincidence. But for me, ever since Allah (s.w.t.) has given me guidance which was around 3 months ago I have been witnessing so many things in my life that are related to the Qur'aan almost like Allah (s.w.t.) is communicating to me through the creations of this Earth. And it is these kinds of moments that make me think and fear that if I ever turn my back to Allah (s.w.t.), He will ask me on the Day, "Why did you turn your back on me when I made the signs so clear to you".
The reason why I made this thread is to just make something clear to you brothers and sisters. I might be wrong about this so please correct me but I feel Allah (s.w.t.) is ALL POWERFUL, so POWERFUL that He has made a detailed, specific and highly planned trial for EACH and everyone of us. The specific time or generation that He has chosen to let us live and the time He has decided for us to live is all planned by him. This entire life is going exactly according to the plan of Allah (s.w.t.).
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 94Narrated byUbadah ibn as-Samit
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The first thing which Allah created was Pen.
He commanded it to write.
It asked: What should I write?
He said: Write the Decree (al-Qadr).
So it wrote what had happened and what was going to happen up to eternity.
Everything has been written about you, your family, your children and their children and everyone and everything. What you hear, see, read, think, each second of your life ALL has been planned by Allah (s.w.t.). There are times in our days when we have such STRONG faith that shaytan is totally helpless against us, but then there are other times in the same day when our faith becomes weak and shaytan is just waiting to pounce at us. It is in these moments when our Imam is weak that we should REMEMBER this trial that Allah (s.w.t.) has set for us. That's the way life is going to be, no one is immune from Shaytan, because shaytan will always attempt to attack you till you breath your last breath! Don't ever get complacent my bro's and sisters! Be aware of Shaytans tricks and ways to attack you and always be ready to deal with him by seeking refuge in Allah (s.w.t.).
I hope we will benefit from this reminder inshAllah.
May Allah (s.w.t.) guide us ALL!
Salam 3laikum.
