Patience- As Saabreen

 



Happiness in this life and our salvation in the hereafter depends on patience! The arabic word for patience is "SABR".

Saddness, Worries and happiness are part of human condition. Sometimes we don't know where our life is heading towards. Sometimes we are too happy and sometimes we are too sad and in either ways we can't keep patience. In our happy moments our heart sing with galdness and in the dark moments that plung us into saddness and worry. In happiness we often forget to thank Allah for his countless mercy on us. But in the dark times, we just start complaining to Allah. like

Why did this happened to me?

Why only me?

You never showed your mercy on me?

How can you do this to me?

Have we ever thought for a moment that to whom we are complaining. The one who is the master of the world. who created this world. Have we ever paused ourself on that moment when we are in the darkest part of our life. Our Nabi's, The Auliya, They were tested by Allah (swt). They never made any complaint against the misery they were going through. Saddness,Worry is just a part of life. you can't know the meaning of happiness, the value of relation, the value of money unless and untill your eman (Faith) is not tested. It is only then you come to know the weakness or the strength of your imaan when you are tested. During the hard times in your life, Then only you come closer to Allah (swt). It is only then you speak with your full heart, It is only then your tears are worth in the eyes of Allah. It is only then you are the most closer to Allah. And it is only then you come to know how strong is your emaan and how strongly you believe in Allah, And then the miracles startsto take place. When Allah takes something from you. He is actually seeing how much you can wait with smile on your face having a firm belief that Allah is going to surprise you with something more beautiful and precious. It is narrated in Quran :Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful.” (Quran 23:111)

“...to be firm or patient in pain or suffering, and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God fearing.” (Quran 2:177)

 



 

Human beings are frail. Our tears fall, our hearts break and the pain is sometimes almost unbearable. Even the prophets, whose connection to God was unbreakable, felt their hearts constrict in fear or pain. They too turned their faces to God and begged for relief. However, their complaints were surrounded with pure patience and pure acceptance of whatever fate God had decreed. However, when things don’t go the way we planned or the way we wanted, even when it seems that fears and worries are pushing us under, we accept what God has decreed and continue to strive to please Him. Being patient is hard work; it does not always come naturally or easily. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him.

It becomes easy for us to exercise patience when we realize that it is impossible to count the blessings of Allah bestowed upon us. The air we breath. The eyes from which we see. The smell of rain we can feel. The tongue from which we call the names of Allah. Indeed Allah is the most loving, The most knowing and above all the best of the planners. We just have to keep Sabrr in order to get the best from Allah. And the best from the Allah which we will get will be an extraordinary. And if we don't get the reward for pateince in this dunya (world) then Allah has saved that reward for you in the hereafter. And the hereafter life is forever. which mean the reward getting there will be forever. And much much better then that you have ever imagined.

To All those who are going through the dark aspects of life, going through any sorrows and hardships, trials, leave the sorrow put a beautiful smile on your face and say "As-Saabireen" and say 'Im going to get my reward for patience soon' because Allah is Al-Raheem, Al-wadood! The most merciful, the most loving..!

 

 

 

The Truth of Life

It was maghrib time she could hear the azaan from every corner of her house and was walking in terrace with tears rolling down on her cheeks and repeating the words of azaan Hayya Ala-Falaa, hayya Ala-Fallaa. she began to cry more and more. she could not control her tears. She sat down there alone looking at the sky and in pain she cried out loud saying: Oh Allah. she started asking the questions to Allah. Oh Allah! Are we the ummati of Mohammad (p.b.u.h.)? The one who used to love every person. who used to cry for us. Oh Allah! you have created us from sand. You have put soul in our useless body. But why every person running for the worldly desires. Our Nabi (p.b.u.h) was not like this, Then why are we?
She was fed up with the people around her, whom she loved dearly. After being hurt by every person she loved, when every person rejected for any kind of help she wanted. When her feelings were shattered, When she was left all alone, At that time After the Azaan and crying out to Allah alone, she took the prayer mat and made the sajda and then she whispered out Ya Wadudu- Ya Raheemu. And at that point she realized, this Dunya (world) cannot love you, every person will love or care for his sake or until the desire for love is not finish. But Allah will love you forever. This dunya will leave you alone when you need them the most but your Allah will be there for you, This dunya search for money, fame and worldly enjoyment. But your Allah waits for you to talk to him. Wait for your repentance. she asked for Allah’s help and love and she was calm because she knew her Allah is listening to her. She knew that Allah loves us more than 70 mothers. For Every cry Allah says I’m here.
