A Muslimah called an Islamic program of Ftawah, asking the Shaikh about her problem She told him:”I wanted to marry my cousin… for 4 years, I prayed to Allah day and night to make my dream come true. For 4 years, I performed Salah, fasted and I offered a lot of Nawafil (optional prayers), I became closer to Allah … until I heard from my mother that he became engaged to another girl! I was completely devastated! I left Salah, I left fasting! I hated my life, my condition and everyone around me. So,plz tell me: what should I do now?” The Shaikh told her :”your problem is mentioned in Qur’an in Surat Al Hajj, Ayah 11: “And of the people is he who worships Allah on a “harf”. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.” "Harf" in Arabic means "condition" It means that : IF Allah granted you something you asked HIM, you would continue to worship HIM But IF HE didn’t then you would became desperate and stop worshipping HIM Dears sisters, don’t worship Allah hoping that HE would grant you a righteous husband or anything you want by that worship! Shaikh Sha’rawy (rahimahullah) said:” Don’t worship Allah to get your Rizq (provision) Don’t worship Allah to get a good position at work Don’t worship Allah to get better chances in life BUT Worship HIM to get HIS satisfaction And HIS Satisfaction will bring you anything you want”
