لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
(Continued)…if we truly trust in Allah’s Love and Mercy towards us, and His Infinite Wisdom, then really, it shouldn’t really be draining on us. Instead, it’ll just make us stronger Muslims, by making us more reliant on Him, and stronger in our Yaqeen (certainty that Allah will take care of us). :D What do you think?
Walaykum asalam Nadir! :)
Insha’Allah you are doing well, and will you update your instagram for once! Lol..
I definitely agree with you 100% on all you said. I think a lot of us come to believe (and I have done this a lot) that we are capable of changing a person or guiding them to what is right or best for them. Can be in terms of religion or anything else. It becomes absolutely draining when they just won’t cooperate and in turn a person may begin to feel like they are failing or giving up.
I remember back in April I was having lunch with someone who I care about despite so much, our friendship was constantly on and off for so many reasons. I kept telling him that he should start praying, that it will change him as a person, it will help his stressful life out, it will bring him a peace of mind. He would continually brush it off and said “I don’t need God”
I left it alone, and eventually, again, we stopped speaking. But I made dua for him, to be guided and to at least start praying.
Months later in October, unexpectedly I get a long email from him apologizing and in his email this is exactly what he said that brought me close to tears
“You came back into my life with a warning to find god, to seek prayer before it was too late. I replied with misguided pride. I recall telling you I’m not religious. ”I dont need God.” How silly was I to ignore his signs. How miraculous was it that the week that I was thinking of you, he sent you back to me because of a dream. I did not know it then, but I do now, you were a sign, a miracle sent to me so that I could find myself. I was entrapped in a world of materialism, greed, vanity, selfishness, mistrust and deceit. I did not treat people with the respect they deserved. The people who care about me most were those I treated worst. Although my life has not gotten any easier, I have atleast a sanctuary that I retreat to at the end of every day. I stand before god, i seek guidance, ask him to absolve me of my sins, and to make me a better man so that I can help others the way you were able to help me.”
If that right there is not an example of what were are talking about exactly, then I don’t know what is. Alhamdulillah, I hope he is still praying and becoming better (we again, are not speaking now -_-)
Insha’Allah khair, and may all of our duas be answered in the best ways He deems appropriate. :)
