In a nutshell,
can you see that
the hardship and the difficulty
has made us turn to Allah.
It has made us come closer to our
Maker.
It has made us realize that the one
who has
the solution to our problems is
Allah.
So
when something
negative happens to you
and it actually brought you closer to your
prayer, to your fasting,
to your
duties unto Allah, was it really negative or
was it positive?
It was positive. Okay. So let's ask Allah
to give us more and more problems. Is
that okay?
No. It's not okay.
It's not okay.
In reality, we ask Allah Almighty to take
our problems away,
and we ask Allah to alleviate the suffering
of all those who are struggling across the
globe. We say that every time we pray.
Oh, Allah. Take the suffering away from all
those who are suffering across the globe. So
Allah Almighty
grants us. What does He give us?
He knows what is right for us because,
ultimately, I am on earth. You are on
earth. Have you asked yourself, why are you
here?
How can life be fair
if it is so short and it is
meaningless? And
when I die, if I were not going
anywhere and it was just the end of
everything, how is it fair?
How is it fair if there is nothing
that I should anticipate
and look forward to? So many people,
they cheat other people and they get away
with it. They commit harm, murder. For example,
they might commit
some form of crime against another person, and
they get away with it on earth. But
do they get away with it with Allah?
No. They won't. They won't get away with
it with Allah. But if there was no
hereafter,
it would become boring. I want to see
a day where those who have wronged me
need to face justice,
the truth.
Because sometimes,
we might go to a court on earth.
I might not be able to prove my
point because I'm not eloquent enough or I
might not have had the required evidence sometimes.
I might not be able to prove it
so. They might not
convict a criminal and he might get away
with it. But Allah knows, I want to
see a day when that justice is served
by Allah. No one can cheat him. No
one can hide from him. So we are
waiting for that day. Don't you agree?
