Allah will always have an "after this" for you.
ā after the layoff, you'll get a better job.
ā after the loss, you'll meet the right person.
ā after the sickness, you'll come out stronger.
I declare, in spite of the pain, in spite of the adversity, Allah is going to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
The Prophet ļ·ŗ said:
An angel is appointed over the womb. Allah commands the angel to write the childās provision, lifespan, deeds, and whether they will be blessed or miserable - while still in the motherās womb.
What this means:
Allah is Al-Fattah. He will open up doors you never even knocked. Stay resilient with du a and sabr, and trust in His boundless mercy and wisdom.
The Prophet Muhammad ļ·ŗ said, "Call upon Allah with certainty that He will answer you" (Tirmidhi)
And remember Allah's words: "And whoever fears Allah He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect." (Quran 65:2-3)
Allah knows.
Everything; your happiness and your sorrows.
Your worries and insecurities. Your doubts and your fears. Your goodness and everything lesser than it. Return to him, ask for strength, ask for peace and ask for him to be in your heart. It will all be okay.
Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr stop making duāa just because you can't see how it could happen. Allah can change circumstances in ways you couldn't plan, imagine, or predict. What feels impossible to you is easy for Him. So keep asking. Keep believing. Keep your tawakkul.
Allah watched you commit that sin, He saw the whole thing, every detail, and His response? He still let the sun rise for you the next morning, still kept your heart beating, still sent you rizq, thatās not Him being unaware, thatās Him being most kind and ever loving.
Perhaps the delay in you attaining your wish lies in a benefit which Allah wants for you. So be patient. Do not hasten. And be optimistic. For indeed, what awaits you is far greater than what you wished for, and there is no-one more generous than Allah.
I spent 5 years asking Allah to fix my life.
Same list every night.
Rizq. Marriage. Direction. Peace.
I was consistent.
I was sincere.
I was exhausted.
And I was doing it completely wrong.
Be honest with yourself sometimes. Not every problem around you is caused by other people. Sometimes your attitude needs checking too. In Islam, that self-reflection matters. Look at your actions. Look at your intentions. Look at how youāve been treating people. Allah sees the things nobody else sees, including whatās really in your heart.
āAllahumma inni astakhiruka bi-āilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, wa asāaluka min fadlika al-āazim. Fa-innaka taqdiru wa la aqdir, wa taālamu wa la aālam, wa anta āAllamul-Ghuyub.ā
Dunya breaks, AllÄh heals.
Don't announce your problems to the world looking for sympathy. Most don't care, many don't want to hear them and some are even glad you have them. Address your concerns to AllÄh, He's always there and only He can help.
In Arabic, we don't say "I'm leaving it to fate." We say "Tawakkaltu 'alallahā which means "I place my trust in Allah" And i think it's extremely beautiful!!
Allah will surprise you in the most unexpected ways. Sabr may feel heavy now, but what Allah has written for you will be worth every moment of waiting. Every delay carries hidden mercy, and soon you'll see how perfectly everything was planned by the One who never makes mistakes.
The result of sabr is always beautiful. If Allah is making you wait then maybe Allah wants to grant you more than your expectations. Because sabr is not easy and if you are showing Allah a beautiful patience, He will surely show you a beautiful miracle.
