“If I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allâh for it four times:
I praise Him because it wasn’t worse than it was,
I praise Him when He gives me the patience to bear it,
I praise Him for enabling me to say al-istirjâ’ (‘To Allâh we belong and to him we will return’; see Al-Baqarah: 154-156 ) in hope of a great reward,
and I praise Him for not making it a calamity in my religion.”- Shurayh
"Be patient [in adversity];for verily,God will not let the reward of the righteous be wasted."

Dear ustadzah. Jzkk for sharing this. This was like a bright light on a seemingly dark and bleak day for me. I also praised Allah swt. Thanks for the reminder.

ReplyDelete...WHO ***FEAR*** ALLAH, HE WILL MAKE THEIR **** PATH EASY.**** (At-Talaq 65:4)
Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were SO SHAKEN that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allah?" YES! CERTAINLY, THE HELP OF ALLAH IS NEAR ! QURAN(Al-Baqarah, ayah 214)
@ O!ALLAH [SWT] Please give us strength and sabr
ReplyDeleteKindly note that it is not recommended to ask for "Sabr"...you are asking for a clamatiy !
