Hard Times

al-Salam alikom wa rahmat ALLAH
Peace and Blessings be upon you

Hello Everybody

ALLAH (swt) had been very kind with me, and nothing in this world can express my deep thankful for ALLAH (swt) because HE is always there when I need HIM (swt). I can’t really find suitable words to express what I feel.

In fact, I’d passed - and still - with many difficult situations in my life, and I can’t say about them except one word; al-HamdulellALLAH ( = thank ALLAH in Arabic ).

ALLAH (swt) always want us - humans - to be with HIM (swt) all the time, which means to depend on him and take actions in order to gain success incha’allah, but as life has its ups and downs, so we must face Hard Times, and those are exams from ALLAH (swt) to see if we are really believers or not:

  • “1. Alif. Lam. Mim.
  • 2. Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction? “ [ T.M.Q. by Marmaduke Pickthall 29:1-2 ]
  • “155. And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but giveglad tidings to the steadfast,
  • 156. Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah’s and Lo! unto Him we are returning. “ [ T.M.Q. by Marmaduke Pickthall 2:155-156 ]

That is it; whenever or wherever you face troubles, go to ALLAH (swt) and he’ll help you to pass it, even if it take sometime, but sure it’ll pass incha’allah. We find that the answer always there, I mean in the last verse 155 we find the problem, but the answer is following it directly @ verse 156.

Another very important point; Easy times came in parallel with Hard times, not after which means that Mercy of ALLAH (swt) is always with the bad times

  • “5. But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
    6. Lo! with hardship goeth ease; “
    [ T.M.Q. by Marmaduke Pickthall 94:5-6 ]

In fact, that what makes Islam great; whenever you want to talk to ALLAH (swt) just make supplications with deep feelings and HE will hear you, it’s a direct connection 24/7 all your lifetime, more than DSL ;)

  • ” And when My servant question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliantwhen he crieth unto Me. So let them bear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. “ [ T.M.Q. by Marmaduke Pickthall 2:186 ]

And last point+ very important ; we must be with ALLAH (swt) not only in bad times but in all times ( Good + Bad ) because ALLAH (swt) and we shall gain reward from ALLAH (swt) incha’allah at last.

It’s important - for that matter - to read this great book - Holy Qur’an - daily, even if we read 2.5 pages / day because:

  • 2.5 pages = 1/4 hizb
  • 5.0 pages = 1/2 hizb
  • 7.5 pages = 3/4 hizp
  • 10.0 pages = 1 full hizb
  • 20.0 pages = 1 full chapter ( 2 hizb )

So don’t loose your connection with ALLAH (swt) under any condition, and read in the Holy Qur’an.

Salam :)
