بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala begins Surah Al-Kahf with Alhamdulillah.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَا ۜ ﴿١
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the
Book and has not made therein any deviance. (1) [Quran, Al-Kahf 18:1]
When we say Alhamdulillah, we are saying we praise Allah for whatever He is doing, and at the same time we thank Him that He did it.
Muslims are people of Alhamdulillah which means we are constantly
grateful and constantly positive. If we understood Alhamdulillah we will
never depressed, angry, stressed, nervous, fearful, lose hope or
complain.
We are grateful for Alhamdulillah because other religion don't have
Alhamdulillah. Sometimes, we find some Muslims who don't understand
Alhamdulillah. So when someone asked them, "How are you?", "How's your
family?", they might say "Alhamdulillah" but it is almost a complain or a
dissatisfaction rather than truly thanking and praising Allah.
Alhamdulillah should come from the bottom of our hearts, even in the
midst of tribulations and all the things that are going wrong in our
lives, we are finding many things that are going right. If you can't find them, keep looking. We should not
lose sight of the things that are going right in our lives and the many
great things that Allah has blessed us with until now. We must thank
and praise Allah abundantly and praise and thank Him again for the
realization. Alhamdulillah.
We can turn our messes into golden opportunities. The formula for doing
that has been provided to us by His beloved Messenger (Allah bless him
and grant him peace):
How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is better for him. [Muslim]
May Allah make us among the people of His remembrance and of those who are grateful to Him in every moment of our lives. Aameen.
