Mufti Menk – Blessings through Hardship

			So at the time, we are taught that Allah subhanho wa Taala addressed the believers telling them to
inform those disbelievers of Mecca and tell them look, whatever is gonna happen to us is victory.
		

			And then you have the prophets of Salaam telling us that
		

			Allah Almighty
		

			never does bad to a believer. The believer will look at it in a way that he or she will understand
the goodness. And this is where we get those statements from where we say, Oh, you know, don't
worry, it's going to be good. Everything's going to be okay. Allah will grant you Be patient
inshallah, things will improve. Those are powerful words, they were taught to us by Allah and His
messenger. They are very, very powerful words. And this is why we need to keep on reminding people
that you know what Allah has favored us. And Allah benefits a true believer, by blessing the
believer with contentment, with happiness, with reassurance, with goodness, with hope, and Allah
		

			heals the Broken Heart very quickly. It's human nature to miss people that you've lost. It's human
nature to feel within your heart that Oh, you know what, I hope this robbery didn't happen. No, this
fire didn't happen. But that was a loss plan. You know,
		

			if there is someone to blame because they did it, yes, they will take the blame and they must be
held accountable. But for us as believers we will take that in our stride we will do so knowing
being reassured that you know what that was Allah for me. I'm going to be a patient and work hard
and try. People have lost jobs so much has happened. This is all part of the plan of Allah publicity
agenda. May Allah make it easy for all of us.
