PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE

Found this and thought I'd share. One of the lines spoke to me directly. Anyone very
close to me would know the line. Life could be sooo complicated sometimes but,
Alhamdulilahi with Allah all problems are surmountable. Uhhhh.... .


When you are hurt by people who share blood relations with you, recall Yusuf (as)
who was also betrayed by his brothers.

When you find your parents opposing you (in deen), recall Ibrahim (as) who was made
to jump into a blazing fire by his father.



When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen
over dunya, recall Nabiyy (saw) who faced the same.

When you are stuck into some problem and find no way out, recall Yunus (as) who was
stuck inside the belly of a whale.

When you fall ill and your whole body cries with pain, recall Ayub (as) who was more
ill than you.

When someone slanders you, recall Aisha (RA) who was also slandered throughout the
city.

When you feel lonely, recall how Adam (as) felt when he was created alone first.

When you can't see any logic in what is going on and your heart asks why this is
happening, recall Nuh (as) who built the biggest ship without questioning.

Allah put all those great personalities in trial so that the generations to follow
may learn a lesson in perseverance. May Allah include us among his patient and
grateful servants. Amen.
