Bismillahirrahmanirrahim! Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin! Wa bihi nasta'in ala umuriddunya waddin wa Sallallahu wa sallam ala nabiyyunal mustafa Muhammad SAW wa ba'ad! :)In the name of Allah, most gracious most merciful! Blessings and salutations be upon Nabi Muhammad SAW!
Life has been tough, life has been easy. Sometimes a little too nasty sometimes a little too cheesy. Allah knows best on why He has chosen to give us some problems that seem to be more challenging than what others face! As a 17 year old, maybe I would not know what true life challenges are, but I too have my own stories of pain and suffering.
Sometimes you feel down, and useless and don't know what to do. I don't blame you. We all have had our share of gloomy moments. But don't keep lingering there. If we choose not to do anything, we will remain there. We have to continue moving forward, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves and continue walking onward.
If we think that Allah is testing us with so much challenges, problems etc and you feel like giving up, remember the ending of Surah Al-Baqarah?
La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha! Allah does not burden His servants to more than what he can bear!If we feel down and impatient, as though we wanna just curl up and waste our lives away, remember the last verse of Surah Ali-Imran?
Ya ayyuhalladzina amanuSbiru, wa Sabiru, wa rabiTu, wattaqullaha la'allakum tuflihun! O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.If we feel sad and think that no one is there for us, like we are alone facing the world, remember the all famous verse from Surah At-Taubah verse 40?
La tahzan! Innallaha ma'ana! Don't be sad, Allah is with us!When we feel as though endless problems are coming in and we feel hopeless in the eyes of all the problems we are facing, do we remember a verse from Surah Yusuf, verse 86?
Wa la yay'asu min ruhillah! Innahu la yay'asu min ruhillahi illal qaumul kafirin! And do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah; indeed none lose hope in the mercy of Allah except the most ungrateful people!These are just few of the many verses of the Quran we can refer to when we are having problems! Always remember Allah is there for us, Allah is near us just as stated in this verse 186 from Surah Al-Baqarah:
Wa idza sa'alaka ibadi anni fa inni qarib! Ujibu da'wata dai idza daan! And when my servants ask regarding me, I am indeed close! I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me!Subhanallah! :') Never give up :) Allah is with us! If you have family and friends, talk to them about it! InsyaAllah they will help! May Allah guide us to the true straight path! May Allah grant us happiness in dunya walakhirah!
Wassalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh!
