Be patient, for only He knows when is the right time for everything. Everything happens by the will of Allah. Whatever He wills happens, and whatever he does not will does not happen. Allah’s plan for you is important to the world because Allah created nothing in vain. Look at His creation. Everything has a purpose: from the sun that heats our world to the bacteria that consume waste. Fulfilling Allah’s plan for us requires that we silence the voice of our own desire, open ourselves to Allah, and look within with total sincerity. This takes courage, patience and determination. But it is the path to Jannah, InsyaAllah.
Have you said Alhamdulilah today? Alhamdulilah, we’re given the air to breath for free. Alhamdulilah, we’re given the opportunity to know Islam. Alhamdulilah, we’re still alive, and are given the chance to repent for whatever sins we committed. Though some of you are currently in a difficult time of your life, remember, there’s always someone else who is fighting harder battles. Be grateful. “Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, And be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.” (Qur’an 2:152) Alhamdulilah, thank you Allah.
When Allah is your strength, nothing can break you. Say “Allah is sufficient for me; those who have to put their trust, let them put their trust in Him” (Surah Az Zumar: 38)
It’s easy to get so wrapped up in fixing your own life that you forget about helping others. And while it’s important to put yourself first sometimes, it’s even more important to help others whenever you can. Be happy if you are given the opportunity to help others, because it just means that Allah is answering that person’s dua through you.
