On difficult moments
When we encounter various difficulties throughout the day. However, whenever difficulty one may encounters , one needs to put in Allah and think as such" Allah tests us with everything we do and we think about in the life of this world.
This is very imporatant reality of which we should not lose sight even for a moment. Therefore, if we meet a difficulty in anything that we do or think that things do not proceed on the rigt tract, we should never forget that all these events are set against us to test our conduct." These thoughts which cross one's mind are true of all major and minor events one encounters during the day.
For instance, we may make extra payments due to a misunderstanding or carelessness, we may lose a file on the computer on which we spent hours due to a powercut, a young student may fail in a university exam although he studied very hard, our day may pass waiting in queues about some work in progress due to bureaucratic procedures, work may go wrong because of missing documents, one may miss the plane or bus on the way to somewhere one must reach very urgently.... There are numerous such incidents which everyone may, and almost certainly will, come across in his lifetime and consider a difficulty and "trouble".
In all these incidents , a person with faith immediately thinks that Allah is testing his conduct and patience, and it is senseless for man who will die and give account in the hereafter to be carried away by such incidents and lose time by worrying about them. He knows that there is good behind all these events. He never says "Alas" to any happening and asks Allah to facilitate his work and turn everything to good purpose.InshaAllah.
And when relief follows difficulty, we realise that this is an answer to our prayer to Allah, that Allah is the Hearer of prayers and he responds to them, and we give thanks to Allah. Living through the day thinking these thoughts, one never becomes hopeless, worries , feels sorry, or is left desperate, no matter what one encounters. We know that Allah has created all of these for good and that there is a blessibg in them. Moreover, we think like this not only in major events that may befall us but, as we have mentioned, also in all of the details, big or small, we meet in our daily life.
with patience and prayersWhen we cannot settle an important matter as we wishes, and encounters serious problems just when just we are about to reach our goal. Become sad, angry, feels unhappy and distressed, in short, develops all sorts of negative feelings. However, when we try to thinks that there is good in everything, tries to find the hidden purpose in this event which Allah shows him. He thinks that Allah may have brought to us attention that we must take more definites measures regarding this issue. He takes all the essential measures and gives thanks to Allah saying."may be this helped to prevent more serious harm."What ever one might face or think," there might be many other such hidden purposes".The important thing is that our plans may not always be resolved according to our wishes.We may suddenly find ourselves in a completely different situation than we had planned.In such circumstances, someone who behaves resignedly and looks for good in the particular event he faces, prospers.Allah states in His verse:
It may be that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you love something when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know. (Surat al-Baqarah:216)
As Allah states in His verse, we cannot know but Allah knows.Therefore, it is Allah Who knows what is good and bad for us. What falls to man is merely to take Allah, Full of Kindness and Most Mercyful, for a friend and summit to Allah with full submission.
