Good Times Are Coming

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Before your difficulty there was ease, and after your difficulty there will come ease; that is the cycle of life.

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٥﴾ إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٦

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. (5) Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. (6)

[Qur'an Ash-Sharh 94:5-6]

If we are in a difficult situation, remember that Shaytan wants us to to despair. But don't despair, don’t worry, because good times are coming inshaAllah.

Have certainty that Allah will get you out of this difficulty, like the one before and the one before that and ...

The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, Allah Almighty says,

‘I am as My servant thinks (expects) I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.’

[Bukhari and Muslim].

You have the Qur'an in your house; open it, read it, ponder it. Qur'an is a greater act of Allah's mercy than our very creation. Don't lose it.

Allah is greater than everything and anything else. Allahu Akbar. Whatever our problem is, Allah is above and beyond that. Remember Allah has guided us to Islam and surely He will not leave us alone to wander.

Get active in the community—help the poor, the needy and the weak. It is a lesson in gratitude and a reminder of our many blessings. And don’t return anyone empty-handed and declare Allah's blessings upon us.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ ﴿٧﴾ وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب ﴿٨

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]. (7) And to your Lord direct [your] longing. (8)

[Qur'an Ash-Sharh 94:7-8]

Don't forget, du'a, du'a, du'a. Turn to Allah, ask Him. He is As-Sami', the One who Hears. He is As-Sabur, the One who is patient with you and your troubles. He will listen to you, and never leave you empty-handed. Turn to Allah Almighty, and know that He alone can bring you out from trouble to solution.

The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

Verily your Lord is the One modest and Generous, and when His servant raises his hands to Him in supplication, He is shy from returning them empty.

[at-Tirmidhi]

May Allah not leave us alone even for a blinking of an eye. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
