The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
When one of you is afflicted with a calamity, he should say: "We belong to Allah, and to Him we do return." O Allah, I expect reward from Thee from this affliction, so give me reward for it, and give me a better compensation.
[Abu Dawud]
Life comes at us fast & will throw up many challenges. Occasionally, it will hit us so hard that we feel like giving up. But remember the Almighty’s promise that with hardship comes ease; that trouble doesn’t last always. This is just a season; don’t quit. It can only get better!
Many have sold their Akhirah, in order to purchase the Duniya.
Their Duniya will offer NO comfort on the Day of Judgement. Instead their Duniya WILL fill them with regret.
May ALLAH keep us upon His path, and FOCUSED on the ULTIMATE goal.
Quit worrying about the past. Things happen for a reason. The Almighty never wastes a moment of what you’ve experienced. What you went through before can be the catalyst for change that’s needed tomorrow. Remember, if the Almighty is for you, nobody can be against you!
Just because some people treat you badly, it doesn’t give you the right to do the same to others. You can break the cycle of negativity & abuse. Instead of feeling angry & hateful, learn positive & empowering behaviour. Focus on your reaction rather than the behaviour of others.
You know your weaknesses, and shaytan also knows and will exploit your weaknesses.
Make the effort & Strive to turn those weaknesses into strengths.
Ya Allah ﷻ forgive our weaknesses
And keep us upon Your path Ameen.
Faith is trusting & believing that the Almighty has your back no matter what you’re going through. Even when you can’t comprehend what’s going on, you trust Him. You know He will get you out of unfavorable situations. Best motto to live by; do your best, leave the rest to Him!
Tonight, wherever you are in the world, please make a dua for our brothers & sisters in Palestine and other areas in the world where Muslims are facing injustices. May Allah keep them all safe. Ameen
