Hope For Allah's Mercy

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Our diversity is no coincidence. Some of us have more than others. This is from the wisdom of Allah. He is the One who has allocated the rizq and wealth for each one of us. He decides who gets what and He knows who to give it to. Every single person has something to give and something that he needs from others. Even the wealthiest person need others to do something for him. Those people that are hired need the wealth of the wealthy person. All professions need other professions. Each one of them will take others for employment.

أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَو‌ٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَـٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ ﴿٣٢

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate. [Quran, Az-Zukhruf 43:42]

Allah reminds, indeed some of us will have more than others, but all of this is irrelevant because this world means nothing. It is the mercy of Allah that is infinitely better than all that we can possibly have in this world. So whatever your socio-economic rank might be in this world, it is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter where you are at in this dunya, the mercy of Allah and who get to the mercy of Allah has nothing to do with your bank account. In fact, the more you have potentially the more difficult to earn Jannah because of the distractions that could make you lose sight on the big prize -- Jannah.

O Allah, we ask You for Your Mercy and forgiveness for ourselves, our loved ones, and the Ummah. O Allah grant us relief from this pandemic that has caused so much hardship and grief all over the world. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
