I have to write something positive.
But I feel so sorry, so dejected and helpless.
No, I have hope.
———————–
For this is only a passing thing, this life.
And the sufferings are only perceptions.
Not a thorn pricks ye but to relieve ye from sins, or to raise thy station.
No, nothing is lost, for this is but a test.
O Lord, help us walk on the Straight Path-
The Path of righteousness, of love and compassion,
And above all, in submission to Thee.

Ameen.
Remember, True believers are tested in this life.
On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) “Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith.” [2:286]
Ameen
My grandma used to say,when it comes to showing compassion, you have two options in front of you, either you’re going to stay sad and forlorn because your fellow brothers and sisters are starving or in some kind of disaster. Another option is being happy and making some else happy as well by feeding them or helping them emotionally or financially…
If you concerntrate on darker side, you’ll find nothing hopeful, and if concerntrate on positive aspect, slowly and gradually you’ll find plenty of things to be happy about
If you stay happy and be happy with God because He given you sense enough to make some else happy, God will be happy with you..atleast thats what my philosophy is…
Stay Happy
Ameen!
O He who
gives to a servant
who asks from Him,
takes him to his wish
when he expectantly hopes for what is with Him,
brings him near and close
when he approaches Him,
covers over his sin and cloaks it
when he shows it openly,
and satisfies and suffices him
when he has confidence in Him!
(The Whispered Prayer of the Hopeful – Ali ibn al-Husayn)
Mash’Allah
you have really made me feel wonderful. jazakAllah khair sisters.
This too shall pass! We all have our lows; they only serve to highlight our good times and make us cherish those more so snap out of it; there’s a whole world out there waiting to happen!
