‘Do men think that they will be left alone on saying “We believe” and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.”
[Al-Ankabut : 002-003]
Why don’t I get what I want?
“..But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth and ye know not.”
[Al-Baqarah : 216]
Why is this test so difficult?
“On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear..”
[Al-Baqarah : 286]
Why am I so frustrated with myself?
“So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith.”
[Ali-Imran : 139]
How should I face them?
“O ye who believe! persevere in patience and constancy: vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah; that ye may prosper.”
[Ali-Imran : 200]
What should I do?
“Nay seek (Allah’s) help with patient perseverance and prayer: it is indeed hard, except to those who are humble.”
[Al-Baqarah : 045]
What do I get out of all this?
“Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise)..”
[At-Taubah : 111]
Who should I seek help from?
“say: Allah sufficeth me: There is not god but He: On Him is my trust - He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!”
[At-Taubah : 129]
I cannot stand it anymore!
“..and never give up hope of Allah’s Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah’s Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith.”
[Yusuf : 087]
My friend posted this up and it helped me a lot in getting through hurdles for the past few weeks. But, most of the time I forget..so, I need someone to hit me with the blue star and remind me to breathe. In and out, in and out.
