This weekend has been a whirlwind. It has been the fourth hardest day of my life. I felt sad and miserable but then I knew that Allah azawajal planned this for me and my family. But my question was: WHY?
Was I not good enough Muslim? Was my effort worthless and not accepted? Was it because I don't deserve it? Was it because all the mistakes of my family accumulated, resulting in this grievous day?
NO
It is because this life is a test. This life starts and it also has an ending.
What most people do is build on the bridge rather than accumulating for the end. The end I speak of is the DAY OF JUDGEMENT where it is determined whether you will enter heaven or hell.
"To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And whether you manifest what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it. So He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases. And Allah is Possessor of power over all things." Ch. 2:284
The righteous believer does not grieve or fear in his/her fate because the believer knows that all that has been ordained for him/her is the best. Allah azawajal is the best of planners.
I highly recommend the Islamic book called 'Don't Be Sad' by Al-Qarni
This has a beautiful explanation and really motivates you in your faith and imaan.
Fi'amanillah my brothers and sisters
