Resûlullah ﷺ şöyle buyurmuştur: “Allah’tan yardım dile, aciz olma. Bir musibet başına gelirse: “Eğer şöyle yapsaydım bu başıma gelmezdi” deme. “Allah takdir etmiştir. Onun dilediği olur” de! Zira “keşke” kelimesi Şeytan'ın yapacağı işlere kapı açar.”
[Sahih-i Müslim 2664 ]
“The soul cannot become pure and upright until it has been refined through trials.”
Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله
Sometimes, the very hardship you wish Allah would remove is the means through which He is purifying your soul.
Say this prayer. "Almighty. Grant me contentment. Don’t let my mind believe that everyone seems to have a better life than I do. Teach me to be grateful for all that You have given me and all that You took away. Aameen."
There is a certain peace that comes with no longer trying to negotiate with reality. If someone wants to leave, let them. If a chapter is closing, let it close. You can grieve without begging life to remain unchanged.
Almighty. Grant us hearts filled with gratitude. May we count our blessings instead of our problems. We ask You for strength in times of need, peace in chaos, joy in sadness and hope in hopelessness. We know You won’t disappoint. Aameen.
Almighty. Remove our attachment to worldly things. Instead, make our hearts attached to You. Make us prioritise You. Keep our hearts pure and always obedient in Your Path, no matter what’s going on in our lives. Aameen.
