Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
When something happens, we immediately react. Very seldom we reflect before we react. If we reflect first then perhaps we won't say or do the things that we would regret later, perhaps we won't be so upset or so angry, perhaps we won't be so disappointed. Everything happen to us points to the Creator. He is the One making Himself known to us. There is a lesson that is taught when something happens. In fact, everything around you, what is happening around you, what is happening to you now, what is happening to the person next to you, what happened yesterday that is still in your mind, there is a big lesson to be learned for the heart that is alive--Allah is always there.
When Allah wants His servant to know Him, He will let him go through things in his life so he can know Him better. So when something happens and you come to realize that it is a manifestation of a Name of Allah then this is actually a Divine gift. And you be thankful to the One who guides you and brings you closer to knowing Him, our Loving Lord, the Lord of Majesty and Bounty, the Owner of all.
So don't sweat the stuff of this world--they are means for you to recognize and know Allah, and nothing more. To Him we belong and to Him we return.
May Allah guide and bring us all closer to Him. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairn.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
