“[And it will be said], ‘Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated.’”~ (Qur’an, 76:22) In the verse above, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala tells us our sa’y (effort) is appreciated; it is recognized.That is what we get rewarded for. Whether or not we succeed, it is ultimately the effort that we put in that Allah (swt) takes into account.. One of Allah’s Names is Ash-Shakoor:~ He is Appreciative of what you do, no matter how small, and He rewards it abundantly.Imagine: Allah (swt) is so appreciative, He even rewards our intention..!!Therefore, we know that those who intend to do well, but cannot do it, are still rewarded..Subhan’Allah!! This feeling of failure is actually a deception from shaytan to deter us from trying. He promotes neglect: “Don’t work on your relationship with your parents, they’ll never change,” and makes us doubt: “do you really think that your tiny effort is going to have an effect?” But Allah (swt) rewards you when you try because your trying is testament to the fact that even though you know you are a minor player, you are doing it for His sake..(What it means is not being defeated internally and keep moving insha’Allah) Sometimes we deal with Allah (swt) as though He is a human being Who doesn’t know about the worry we feel, the stress, the striving. When we fail to see the results of our effort, we think that we failed and that it was a waste of time. But Allah (swt) tells us: “And never is your Lord forgetful…” (Qur’an, 19:64) Subhaan’Allah...!! Don’t think that your efforts have been wasted. They have not. They are recorded with Ash-Shakoor and if you don’t see the fruits of your labor in this life, surely Allah (swt) is keeping something amazing for you in the next..{Hereafter}
