When goodness comes in your direction, your enemies
will become angry. And when bad and evil
befalls you, your enemies will become happy.
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, But if
you are patient, and if you bear consciousness
of Allah, that is better for you. Listen
to what He says in surat Allah Imran.
When goodness comes in your direction, it hurts
them. You see when a person has an
enemy,
what happens when a person has an enemy,
is that
when something good happens to them, the enemy
becomes upset. And when something bad happens to
them, the enemy starts rubbing his hands and
saying, Yes. Yes. You see? May Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala protect us. Allah says,
If you are to bear patience
and you are to be conscious of Allah,
their plot and plan against you will not
harm you in any way. May Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala protect us. So you require patience
in order to be protected from the plot
of the evil doers.
Then Allah
tells
us that, Definitely you will be tested in
every way. There will be non Muslims who
will laugh at at you. The people of
the book who were given the book before
you, they may laugh at you and joke
about you and make your life difficult. Allah
says, if If you bear patience, it is
the best thing you could do. Listen to
what Allah says again in the same surah.
You will be tested in your wealth, and
in yourselves, in every single way.
By the loss of life, possibly by your
health, possibly by so many other things within
you. Allah says, We will test you in
every way. And on top of that,
You will hear a lot of harmful statements.
And you will it will a lot of
harm will get to you from
those who were given the book in the
past, and those who associate partners with Allah
He says they will try to harm you
and they will scoff,
laugh at you. They will say things against
you. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
If you are going to bear patience,
and if you are going to be conscious
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that is the
best thing you could do. It is the
best of affairs, the most recommended. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala grant that to us.
