Evening Reminder. Wednesday. Lets conclude on our topic today on why suffering in Islam is actually blessings in disguise. When believers suffer hardship, they say, “Inna lil-laahi wa inna ilayhir-raaji-uun!” “From Allah do we come, and to Him is our return. Allah does what He Wills, and His will is always, unfailingly good, however harsh it may appear to us on the surface. Our human perception is limited, like ants crawling over a carpet, we complain about the rough surface, the knots and the texture that make our journey difficult. But we cannot see the beauty of the carpet from above. We cannot see the beauty of Allah’s master plan, until we step outside our small, selfish worlds. Believers suffer, but they know their suffering is an expiation of their sins, and their patience and contentment brings them closer to Allah. It’s only when we try to generalize our suffering into a philosophical level, that we have a problem. When non-believers suffer, their lack of faith leads them to endless despair, and sometimes, even to suicide. Let us thank Allah for illuminating our hearts with the light of His guidance. Even if our faith, our iman is as small as a mustard seed; If we truly believe in Allah and we learn to rely on Him completely, then we are much richer and more blessed than the wealthiest non-Believer, whose wealth and happiness stand on shaky foundations. Alhamdulillaah alaa kulli haal. We ask Allah to have mercy on our ignorance in life and grant us the best in dunya and aakhira. Amin.
