Evening Reminder. Saturday. Lets accept any situation we find ourselves. Lets conclude from the days reminders. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. And if life has been difficult, worries surround you and calamities after calamities befall you, hear the good news from the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam): Trials will continue to befall the believing man and woman, with regard to themselves, their children and their wealth, until they meet Allah with no sin on them. (Tirmidhi-- saheeh by al-Albaani) Subhaan Allah! No sin?! And what is it from this world that you wouldnt give up, just to meet Allah with no sin??!! Sheikh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah. Thus in our times of trouble, when we go through pain and suffering and in our times of loss, we need to trust Allah. We need to keep in mind that as long as we fear Him and try our best to obey Him, He will never do us wrong. He will protect us and guide us and do the best for us, no matter what the situation apparently looks like. Allaah says in a hadeeth Qudsi It is actually a sign of our weakness and shortsightedness, that we tend to focus on the calamities themselves, without paying much attention to the benefits that they may bring. We also forget to look at all other innumerable blessings that we enjoy and see around us. And when someone puts all his trust in Allah, He will be enough for him. (Surah at-Talaaq:3) The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: If you put your trust completely in Allah, He will arrange for your sustenance in the same way as He provides for the birds. They go out in the morning with their stomachs empty and return filled in the evening. (Tirmidhi-saheeh). So trust Him....for, there is much reward in trusting Him.....it is Jannah (Paradise). And there is sin in distrusting Him. Calamities and disasters are a test, and they are a sign of Allaahs love for a person. They are like medicine: even though it is bitter, yet, in spite of its bitterness you still give it to the one whom you love.... The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath. (Saheeh al-Tirmidhi). Now please read through again and again and say Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal. HasbunAllah Wa ne emal wakeel. Allah is sufficient for us, He is the maintainer of all affairs. May Allah increase us in knowledge and wisdom to understand His trials on us. Aamin.
