Allah Is Sufficient

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Our faith are tested by many things--at times we are tested by hardships or calamities, and at other times we are tested by the good things of this life. Whether we pass or fail the test, in the end, we will return to our Creator, and our life will be appraised of its true value.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةًۭ ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

"Every soul shall have a taste of death and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To Us must you will be returned." Qur'an Al-Anbiya' 21:35

If we truly understand this, we will know where our focus should be--it is not the creation but the Creator.

The world and nothing of this world is worth fighting about. We will one day leave this world and this world cannot help us in our graves and it too will perish. Allah is sufficient for us.

Abdullah ibn 'Umar, Allah be pleased with both father and son, used to say: In the evening do not expect to live until the morning, and in the morning do not expect (to live until) the evening. Take advantage of your health before times of sickness, and take advantage of your life before your death. (related by Bukhari)

May Allah not leave us alone even for a blink of an eye and save us from the trials a tribulations of this life and the next. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
