When something happens in your life
that is a big problem according to the
world,
major disaster according to the world,
How do you know whether it is a
test or a punishment?
Quite simple.
If you take it in your stride, it's
a test.
Which means, if you're calm about it, yes,
it will hurt you. It might shake you
a little bit. But if you come about
it, if it brings you closer to Allah,
if it drew you towards Allah, it made
you more humble, it made you a better
person, it's a test. It cannot be a
punishment. A punishment does not bring a person
close to Allah. It destroys them. So say
a big thing happened and you came to
the masjid, or you started reading salah, or
you started seeking forgiveness.
Allah says, that was a test. We loved
you so much. We put the test so
that you come close to us.
But
if something drives you away from Allah, makes
you question Allah, makes you angry, makes you
upset,
makes you so so
angry and upset and hopeless,
perhaps it's a punishment.
Don't lose hope. No matter what you lost,
never mind, Allah will give you better. This
is why
many people who've lost their entire
businesses,
I am telling you from my experience,
a lot of them in a short space
of time, if they bow sobr, Allah gives
them back 10 times more,
10 times more. Go and study, go and
check, write down the names and see the
people. In your own communities, in our own
communities,
people who've lost things. And after if they
were sabr and salah,
another few years later, they got so much
back they can't even believe. They will never
if their forefathers were alive, they would say,
how did you get all of this? It
was through sabr and salah. May Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala keep us happy. Make us humble.
Make us love one another. Respect one another.
Remember,
your rizq is written from Allah. The solutions
to your problem with Allah, not with anyone
else.
